Abstract

A method and a system for collecting remote data by using traffic monitoring and a program recording medium therefor are provided to implement a remote data collection configuration at a low cost by using time band when the load put on the wireless network is low in a metering field, a traffic control field or a ubiquitous sensor network field using RFID. A method for collecting remote data comprises the following steps. A traffic monitoring server reads FCM(Forward Channel Message), RCM(Reverse Channel Message), or ECM(Emergency Channel Message) signals on a terrestrial LBS communication network and corresponding packet information communicated with a network control center, and monitors the traffic of the LBS communication network(1200), and checks time band when load is not put on the LBS communication network(1205). If the time band is checked(1210), the traffic monitoring server transmits a data collection request to a data collection server(1215). The data collection server transmit a collected data transmission instruction to a base station(1220), and the base station transmits the collected data transmission instruction to the terminal via the FCM(1225). The terminal collects the data or extracts the collected data from a memory according to the collected data transmission instruction(1230), includes the collected or extracted data and a terminal ID in the RCM, and transmits the RCM to the base station(1235). The base station checks whether the received RDM includes the collected data(1240). If not in the step 1240(1245), the base station transmits the RCM data to a location measuring server for terrestrial LBS based location tracing by using the RCM(1250) and the location measuring server traces location of the terminal via the RCM(1255). If so in the step 1240(1245), the base station extracts the terminal ID and the collected data from the received RCM, and transmits the extracted ID and data to the data collection server(1260). The data collection server processes a linkage between the terminal ID and the collected data and stores the processed data at a storage unit(1265). It is checked whether the data collection procedure is terminated(1270).
