Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a block diagram of an inter-vehicle data transmission apparatus equipped with a vehicle terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, an apparatus for communication between two vehicle terminals having the same structure is illustrated. Therefore, only the structure of one vehicle terminal will be described herein.

Referring to the drawings, a vehicle terminal provided in each vehicle according to the present invention is largely the vehicle intrusion detection unit 140, the camera 111, the memory unit 120, the communication device 160, GPS device 170 and It includes a controller 150.

The vehicle intrusion detection unit 140 is a device for detecting an intruder invading the vehicle, and notifies the central control unit 150 that an alarm is generated and an abnormality occurs when an unauthorized opening or an external shock of the vehicle door is detected. .

The operation ON / OFF of the vehicle intrusion detection unit may be performed through a remote controller.

The vehicle terminal 100 includes a GPS device 170 attached to the vehicle to determine position information of the vehicle, and a watch 130 for determining an acquisition time of the image and the position information.

In addition, the vehicle terminal 100 may be connected to a battery mounted in a vehicle through a cigar jack or through an appropriate connection line to operate as a power source, but may further include a rechargeable secondary battery as the backup battery 190.

When the controller 150 is notified of the abnormality (vehicle invasion) through the vehicle intrusion detection unit 140, the image stored in the memory unit 120, the location information captured by the GPS device 170, and the clock The time information obtained by the 130 is controlled to be wirelessly transmitted to another nearby vehicle terminal 200 through the communication device 160.

The controller 150 may call a message (see descriptions of FIGS. 7 and 8) describing an intruder's vehicle intrusion situation and transmit the message together with the image.

In general, since video and video have a large data capacity and their transmission time is very slow, in the present invention, it is preferable to transmit the message first and then transmit the video. If the message is first sent as described above, the other vehicle terminal and the vehicle owner who have received the message can promptly take an action against the intruder. Here, the action of another vehicle terminal is to transmit a message to another vehicle terminal and the owner of the vehicle in the vicinity, and the action of the vehicle owner is to return to the vehicle and contact the police station.

The data transmission method between the vehicle terminals 100 and 200 is preferably 1: 1, but more preferably 1: n.

Further, data transmission between vehicle terminals uses a short range communication method, and the short range communication method includes Bluetooth and the like.

Reference numeral 180 is a hotkey.

As described above, when the vehicle abnormality is detected by the vehicle intrusion detecting unit 140, the vehicle terminal 200 according to the present invention is operated. In more detail, the photographing apparatus 110 attached to the vehicle photographs the inside or the outside of the vehicle under the control of the central controller 150. Theft of the vehicle may occur at night as well as during the day, so that the photographing apparatus 110 may include night photographing using a high-sensitivity CMOS camera 110a and an infrared LED 110b for night photographing. The image photographed by the photographing apparatus 110 is stored in the memory unit 120. The memory 120 stores various types of messages.

The message may be, for example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

That is, FIG. 7 is a message generated from a vehicle terminal (for example, a first CT) provided in a vehicle directly attacked by a vehicle, and FIG. 8 further includes warning content in a message content transmitted from the first CT. As a message, this is a message delivered to the terminal of the vehicle that is not directly invaded and the owner of the vehicle.

Referring to FIG. 7, the message contains information for describing an intruder intrusion situation. That is, the intrusion occurrence time (e.g., August 6, 2006, 8:11), the terminal identification name of the intrusion target vehicle (e.g., the first CT), GPS location information (not shown), and the intruder situation description Included. Examples of contents of the intruder situation include an intruder, an intruder entering the vehicle, an intruder stealing the vehicle, and the like.

In addition, compared to the message shown in FIG. 7, the message shown in FIG. 8 has changed only the <contents> part. In other words, the warning message about vehicle theft has been changed.

The message is transmitted to a vehicle terminal (eg, a second CT, etc.) provided in another vehicle parked nearby, and also to the owner of the vehicle.

The vehicle terminal 100 or 200 according to the present invention mainly recognizes a person (intruder) who has intruded into the vehicle when the vehicle is stopped (for example, when the vehicle is stopped or stopped). Since the communication for transmitting to the outside is the main task, the vehicle terminal 100 or 200 may have only a data communication function between the vehicle intrusion detection and the neighboring vehicle (or the owner's portable terminal) turned on. That is, in the present invention, it is preferable that all functions of the vehicle terminal be operated when the invaders are recognized by the vehicle terminal. This is for minimum use of the battery. Of course, such function control is performed by the control unit.

In the present invention, it is natural that the identification system is configured to enable identification between the vehicle terminals 100 and 200.

3 is a view showing a parking lot in which a vehicle equipped with a vehicle terminal of the present invention is parked.

Referring to the drawings, the parking lot 400 under the mountain 1 is parked with vehicles 410 to 490 equipped with the vehicle terminals 411 to 491 of the present invention. That is, nine vehicles 410 to 490 are parked in the parking lot 400, and vehicle terminals 411 to 491 are mounted in each vehicle. In addition, data transmission is possible between vehicle terminals within a predetermined distance. Of course, the identification system is formed to be able to identify between the vehicle terminal.

In addition, it is assumed that the owners 412 to 432 of the first, second, and third vehicles are climbing.

For details of the vehicle terminal, refer to the description of FIG. 2.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a data transmission method between vehicles provided with a vehicle terminal according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, a method for transmitting data between vehicles provided with a vehicle terminal according to the present invention will be described below.

First, in the present invention, it is assumed that an intruder has occurred in any one vehicle (eg, the first vehicle) 410 in which the owner of the vehicle is absent (eg, climbing). It is natural to turn on security devices, including locks, by using.

As described above, when an intruder occurs in the first vehicle, the intruder is detected by the vehicle intrusion detecting unit 140 of the first vehicle terminal 411 provided in the first vehicle 410, and the detected signal is controlled by the controller ( 150) (S102).

Then, the controller 150 calls a message (see FIG. 7) that matches the vehicle intrusion situation stored in the memory unit 120 (S103).

The message contains information that can explain the intruder intrusion situation.

As described above, after calling the message according to the intruder situation, in the present invention to the neighboring vehicle (eg, the second vehicle, 420) and the vehicle owner 412 equipped with a vehicle terminal (eg, the second vehicle terminal, 421) Send a message (S104).

Then, after receiving the message (S105), the second vehicle terminal 200 determines whether a message having the same content as that of the message has already been received (S106).

The reception can be determined by examining the messages stored in the memory unit 220.

If it is determined in step 106 that the second vehicle terminal determines that the same message as the message received from the first vehicle terminal has already been received, the second vehicle terminal does not need to take further action and ends the situation. Here, the further action refers to repeating step 103 and step 104.

In operation 106, when the second vehicle terminal 421 determines that the same message as the message received from the first vehicle terminal 411 is not received, the second vehicle terminal 421 repeats steps 103 and 104. An example of the message called in this part is shown in FIG. That is, since the owner of the second vehicle has not yet been stolen, a warning message (eg, a request for attention to theft of the vehicle) may be further included.

In addition, the second vehicle terminal may turn on all functions so that a thorough preparation is made in preparation for an intruder's vehicle intrusion.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting data between vehicles provided with a vehicle terminal according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 2, 3 and 5 will be described a data transmission method between vehicles equipped with a vehicle terminal according to the present invention.

First, it is assumed in the present invention that an intruder occurs in any one vehicle (eg, the first vehicle) 410. (S201)

Then, the intruder is detected by the vehicle intrusion detecting unit 140 of the first vehicle terminal provided in the first vehicle, and the detected signal is transmitted to the controller 150 and the intruder is photographed using the camera 110. (S202)

Then, the controller 150 calls a message (see FIG. 7) that matches the vehicle intrusion situation stored in the memory unit 120 (S203).

After calling the above message, the present invention transmits an image and a message to a neighboring vehicle (eg, the second vehicle 420) and the vehicle owner 412 equipped with the vehicle terminal (eg, the second vehicle terminal 421). (S204)

Then, after receiving the message (S205), the second vehicle terminal 200 determines whether the same message as the message has already been received (S206).

If in step 206 the second vehicle terminal 421 determines that the same message as the message received from the first vehicle terminal 411 has already been received, the second vehicle terminal 421 does not need to take further action and ends the situation. Here, the further action indicates to repeat steps 203 and 204.

In addition, when it is determined in step 206 that the second vehicle terminal 421 does not receive the same message as the message received from the first vehicle terminal 411, the second vehicle terminal 421 repeats steps 203 and 204.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting data between vehicles provided with a vehicle terminal according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 2, 3 and 6 will be described in the data transmission method between vehicles equipped with a vehicle terminal according to the present invention.

First, in the present invention, it is assumed that an intruder occurs in any one vehicle (eg, the first vehicle) 410. (S301)

Then, the intruder is detected by the vehicle intrusion detecting unit 140 of the first vehicle terminal provided in the first vehicle, and the detected signal is transmitted to the controller 150 and the intruder is photographed using the camera (S302). )

Then, the controller 150 calls a message (see FIG. 7) that matches the vehicle intrusion situation stored in the memory unit 120 (S303).

After calling the message as described above, the present invention transmits the message first to the neighboring vehicle (eg, the second vehicle, 420) and the vehicle owner 412 equipped with the vehicle terminal (eg, the second vehicle terminal, 421). Afterwards, the corresponding video is transmitted later (S304).

The reason why the message is transmitted first and then the corresponding image is transmitted later is that if the message is transmitted together with the image, the total time to send the message becomes long, which makes it difficult to quickly follow up.

After the step 304, the second vehicle terminal 200 receives the message first.

Then, in the present invention, step 106 or step 206 is repeated. Of course, the intruder-related video may be finally made.

As described above, with reference to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be variously modified and modified within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims below. It will be appreciated that it can be changed.

Owners of vehicles parked in the same common area (eg parking lot) can be considered to be in the same position for theft. In other words, if an intruder enters a vehicle, there is a high possibility of a serial crime against another vehicle in the vicinity. In this case, using the system according to the present invention (apparatus and method for inter-vehicle communication data transmission using a short-range communication method) enables a quick return of a person (vehicle owner) close to the common area, thereby preventing crimes against his own vehicle. It can also minimize damage to vehicles in crime. If an agent managing the parking lot is nearby, the system of the present invention will be more effective. Of course, parking personnel must also be sent messages and / or video of intruders.
