Vehicles such as passenger cars, vans, and vans are provided with up and down headlights, vehicle headlights (or taillights) turn signals, brake lights, fog lights, etc., and switches are provided inside the vehicle to control the lighting of each of the lights. The lighting of such a lamp is a method in which all lights except a brake lamp are lit by a user operating a switch.

It is not uncommon for robbery incidents that impersonate a passenger to occur in a vehicle provided with such lamps. When an emergency such as a robber occurs, turning on the emergency light (two-way turn indicator) inside the vehicle does not indicate whether an emergency such as a robber occurred from the outside.

In addition, the brake lights have a high illuminance intensity, but the size of the brake lights is so small that the driver of the rear car does not recognize the lighting of the brake lights of the front car, thereby increasing the risk of a collision accident.

On the other hand, the recent advertisement or promotion is the development of the media to post the advertisement through the wire, wireless and the Internet. Advertisements using public media, for example, advertisements using media such as TV or radio, are expensive and widely available, and thus cannot be used by the general public or SMEs. In addition, the cost of advertising through the Internet is very different, and the effect is insignificant because the advertisement is delivered to an unspecified number, and the advertisement that goes beyond the purpose of checking e-mail or other Internet uses only serves to pass. There is this.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide information on the current situation, such as emergency information, such as the intensity of the vehicle, the strength of the vehicle to the driver according to the situation or It is to provide a character information providing device for a vehicle that can be automatically sent according to the operation.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following drawings. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a vehicle character information providing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is composed of a system box 200, the information display unit 320, the battery 100, the emergency switch 310, the remote control 312, the brake 314, the fog light 316 and the direction indicator 318. Among these, the system box 200 is composed of a remote control receiver 202, fog light sensor 204, brake sensor 206, direction indicator sensor 208, the control unit 210 and the text information database 212 do.

The battery 100 is a power source used as a power source required for starting the vehicle. The vehicle battery 100 generally has a passenger car of 12V, and a large vehicle such as a truck is a 24V DC power source. Such a power source, that is, the battery 100 supplies power to the system box 200 through an adapter (not shown).

The system box 200 is activated by receiving power from the battery 100 at the same time as the vehicle is stopped, and the message initialized is displayed on the information display unit 320. This initialization message is configured to be input by the user. That is, when a combination of characters is input through the remote controller 312, the message is stored in the character information database 212 composed of a memory.

The emergency switch 310 is configured on one side of the driver's seat, but preferably, such an emergency switch 310 is not easily seen so as not to be inadvertently pressed by children or other people. In addition, such an emergency switch 310 can be installed on one side of the trunk. When the emergency switch configured as described above is pressed, the control unit 210 recognizes that the emergency switch 310 is pressed so that the corresponding message is displayed on the information display unit 320 from the text information database 212.

The remote controller 312 is configured to configure a switch having the same role as the emergency switch 310 and to input a text message. In addition, a key to enable input of a number, a power-on power-off key, a confirmation key, and an up-down scroll key are configured. This key allows you to enter your desired message. Such a remote controller 312 is configured in accordance with IrDA or other wireless data transmission rules suitable for transmitting text and other data. If necessary, the advertisement text may be inserted and displayed through the remote controller 312 or a key pad capable of other communication. The pre-stored advertisement message is repeatedly scrolled regardless of the amount of the message, and configured to be added or deleted by the user. If an advertisement message is cut off while the advertisement message is scrolled, for example, a message due to a brake operation is output, the message due to the brake operation may be displayed again from the advertisement message which has been cut halfway. do.

The brake sensor 206 detects a mechanical operation of the brake 314 or detects whether the brake light is turned on. As such, when the control unit 210 detects the operation of the brake 314, the character information database 212 searches for the character information according to the operation of the brake 314 and outputs the retrieved corresponding character information to the information display unit 320.

The turn indicator sensor 208 detects the lighting of the left or right turn indicator 318. If the right or left turn indicator 318 is turned on, the controller 210 searches for the character information corresponding to the lighting of the right or left turn indicator 318 in the character information database 212, and retrieves the corresponding character information. Is output to the information display unit 320.

The direction indicator sensor 208 also detects when both direction indicators 318 are turned on, that is, when emergency lights are turned on. At this time, the use of the emergency light may be used for various purposes, unlike the direction indicator 318. In other words, the vehicle may stop at the time of a breakdown to alert the car behind it, or even turn on and operate emergency lights when faced with oil spills, emergency patient transfers or other urgent matters. To distinguish this, the turn signal detecting sensor 208 detects that the long press and the short press turn on the emergency light.

Fog light sensor 204 detects the lighting of the fog light (316). When the fog lamp 316 is turned on, the controller 210 searches for the character information corresponding to the lighting of the fog lamp 316 in the character information database 212 and outputs the retrieved corresponding character information to the information display unit 320.

2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a vehicle equipped with an apparatus for providing character information for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a message that is output when the emergency switch 310 is pressed. If an emergency switch installed on one side of the driver's seat or in the trunk is pressed, for example, the message "There is a strength in the car. Please call 112." The above-described message is configured to use a message previously stored in the text information database 212 in the system box 200, and to be modified using a remote controller 312 key if desired. Such a message may be configured to blink to raise awareness.

In addition, when the brake 314 is pressed, for example, the message "The brake is pressed. Please slow down" can be output. If you turn on the left or right blinker, you can get the message "I want to turn left (right). Yield." In addition, when the left and right turn signal lights 318 are turned on, that is, when the emergency light is turned on, a long press can be made, for example, to output a message, "The vehicle is stopped. Please slow down." Something has happened. Please yield. " Such messages allow scrolling left or right. In addition, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such a message may be changed.

The remote controller 312 has a keypad type, and when a corresponding key is pressed or combined, a preset message is output or a desired character can be input using a key of the remote controller 312. In such a preset message, an advertisement message or a message in which an operator directly inputs private information may be output.

In addition, such messages operate by giving priority to each other. For example, if the emergency switch 310 is pressed while a message input by a user or a message by a left turn direction indicator is output, the message corresponding to the emergency switch 310 is given priority, and the message is displayed on the information display unit 320. To be displayed. In addition, the message displayed by operating the left (right) turn direction indicator, the message displayed by pressing the brake, and the message indicating other driving operation are configured to appear only for a certain time, and the message displayed by the emergency switch is operated while the emergency light is operating. Configure the message to be displayed.

The priority among such messages is, for example, that a message displayed by operating an emergency switch has the highest priority, followed by a message caused by an operation occurring while the vehicle is running, for example, a message displayed when the brake is applied, and then a user input. The message may be displayed in the order of the message, and finally, the priority of the advertisement message. The priority is configured to be changeable by the user by operating the remote keypad, for example, the remote controller 312.

In addition, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that such messages can be configured to be input via a remote control or through a computer or other keypad capable of wired or wireless communication.
