As shown therein, the step of first switching to the burglar alarm mode is performed by the user (S501).

Subsequently, after switching to the burglar alarm mode, the step of sensing by the impact sensor is performed (S502). Here, the shock from the outsider is often searched to detect the external shock when the vehicle is stolen or the vehicle is damaged by the shock sensor 305.

Therefore, it is determined whether there is a signal detected by the impact sensor (S503). Here, when there is a signal detected from the sensor, the detected signal is transmitted to the telematics system 302 installed in the vehicle, which is transmitted to the telematics system 302 through the data input / output unit 406.

Subsequently, an input signal is detected by the determination of the signal, and the signal transmitted to the telematics system is converted by the A / D converter 407 of the telematics system 302 and processed by the central processing unit 404. .

Then, receiving the signal processed by the central processing unit 404 is performed by the person and the object detecting sensor (S504). Here, the external shock is detected by the respective sensors to determine whether the external impact is a person or an object, and determine the location thereof.

Subsequently, driving and focusing the camera by the digital camera 304 driving unit to the position determined by the person and the object detection sensor are performed to photograph an outsider or an external object (S505). Here, the digital camera 304 can be rotated and adjusted by the camera driver 304.

Thereafter, the step of storing the captured image and transmitting it to the user (S506). Here, the captured image is stored in the memory unit 403 of the telematics system 302 and transmitted to the wireless modem unit 401. In addition, the wireless modem unit 401 makes a PPP connection and transmits the corresponding image file to transmit and receive a TCP / IP packet through a data call to a service server, and the server receives the transmitted data and transmits it to a preset user. .

6 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of a vehicle theft prevention method according to the present invention. As shown therein, the step of first switching to the burglar alarm mode is performed by the user (S601).

Subsequently, after switching to the burglar alarm mode, the step of sensing by the impact sensor is performed (S602). Here, the shock from the outsider is often searched to detect the external shock when the vehicle is stolen or the vehicle is damaged by the shock sensor 305.

Therefore, the step of determining whether there is a signal detected by the impact sensor 305 is performed (S603). Here, when there is a signal detected from the sensor, the detected signal is transmitted to the telematics system 302 installed in the vehicle, which is transmitted to the telematics system 302 through the data input / output unit 406.

Subsequently, an input signal is detected by the determination of the signal, and the signal transmitted to the telematics system is converted by the A / D converter 407 of the telematics system 302 and processed by the central processing unit 404. .

Then, receiving the signal processed by the central processing unit 404 is performed by the person and the object detecting sensor (S604). Here, the external shock is detected by the respective sensors to determine whether the external impact is a person or an object, and determine the location thereof.

After the person and the object detection sensor is operated, a step of writing information obtained from each sensor in a predetermined SMS format is performed (S605). Here, various information obtained from the person detection sensor 306, the object detection sensor 307, the acceleration sensor 308, and the like are collected and processed.

Subsequently, the step of transmitting the created SMS format to a predetermined phone number is performed (S606). Here, the predetermined phone number may be sent to the security service company or the police in addition to the vehicle owner.

7 is a flowchart of a third embodiment of a vehicle theft prevention method according to the present invention. (The previous step will be omitted with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG. 6.) As shown in FIG. 5, if there is an input signal in the step of determining whether the signal is transmitted from the sensing sensor, the telephone is dialed to a preset designated number. A step of transmitting is performed (S704). Here, the vehicle owner knows that the call is from a telematics wireless terminal of his vehicle and can know that theft or damage occurred.

Subsequently, after receiving a telephone call from the telematics, if the user speaks, the user is alerted through a speaker installed in the vehicle (S705).

8 is a flowchart of a fourth embodiment of a vehicle theft prevention method according to the present invention. (The previous step will be omitted with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG. 6.) As shown in the figure, after the operation of the person and the object detecting sensor, a step of determining whether a detected signal is performed is performed (S805). In this case, the signal detected by each sensor is determined to process the detected signal in the central processing unit of the telematics.

Subsequently, a step in which the signal detected and processed by the detection sensor is controlled to not operate through the vehicle control mode is performed (S806). Here, the vehicle control unit performs a locking device through the door control unit, or controls the door not to open if the abuser has already intruded into the vehicle.

Then, the devices in the vehicle are controlled to not operate through the acceleration / braking control unit 310 and the gear control unit 311.

As shown in the figure, if there is an input signal in the step of determining whether the signal is transmitted from the sensing sensor, the call is sent to a predetermined designated number. Alternatively, a step of transmitting a wireless SMS is performed (S904).

Then, receiving the outgoing call or the transmitted wireless SMS and asking the vehicle owner whether the remote control setting mode is selected or not is performed (S905). Here, the vehicle owner can send a SMS based on the information received from his telematics system for remote control.

Subsequently, by sending an SMS to operate the camera, the camera is operated to take an image (S906).

The captured image is transmitted to the user, and the user views the transmitted image and transmits a desired remote control SMS (S907). Here, the transmitted remote control SMS is received by the radio modem unit of the telematics and controls the corresponding control unit according to the signal processed by the central processing unit.

On the other hand, when the owner of the vehicle does not use the owned vehicle for a certain period of time by applying the above method, if the user sends an SMS to check whether the vehicle is safe, the inside and outside of the vehicle is identified through the telematics mounted on the vehicle. Can receive the processed status to know the status.

In addition, it is possible to transmit the photographed image by driving the digital camera to the inside / outside of the vehicle. Here, even when the vehicle is turned off, power is supplied to the telematics system and the digital camera.

In addition, when the parking position of the vehicle can not be easily determined in a large parking lot or an unfamiliar place, when requested by the user, the GPS system in the telematics is used to create and transmit the self-vehicle location information to the vehicle owner by SMS. The location is known.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
