The present invention relates to a passenger reassuring service device and method, and more particularly, to communicate with a passenger's mobile communication terminal by using a Bluetooth module of the passenger reassuring service device, the passenger reassuring service device is a passenger and a passenger read from the Bluetooth communication The present invention relates to a passenger reassuring service device and a method for preventing a risk from a crime using a vehicle by transmitting information of a vehicle and information of getting on / off of a passenger as guardian information.

Recently, with the development of information and communication technology, real-time data transmission and its interface technology have been realized in various fields through short-range and long-distance data communication networks. Representatively, in the case of a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, the spread of the mobile phone is rapidly spreading as much as one mobile phone, and services through various mobile terminals (eg, PDAs, mobile phones, etc.) are being developed.

As a result of this trend, services associated with data communication networks are emerging in various transportation methods. For example, the logistics management system of a vehicle is one of the representative examples. The logistics management system of the vehicle is a system that instructs the vehicle to move the vehicle located at the shortest distance to the desired place by receiving the current position and vehicle information of the vehicle through a local or remote communication network. It is a system to reduce logistics costs derived by minimizing.

However, in the case of public transportation such as taxis, since the distribution of the logistics system is relatively slow, there is no need to apply a system such as a logistics system due to the characteristics of public transportation. Therefore, various public transportation methods are almost neglected about possible accidents such as theft and robbery. When passengers use public transportation at a late time, they are seriously concerned about the occurrence of various accidents. The same is true of taxi drivers.

In particular, female passengers are exposed to the risk of robbery associated with various sexual crimes rather than simple theft, so they have to use the public transportation such as taxis with anxiety. There was a limit to informing everybody around him about detailed information about Sudan.
