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

1 is a block diagram showing a navigation integrated terminal with an ETCS function according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a flow chart showing the operation sequence of the navigation integrated terminal with an ETCS function according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the integrated navigation terminal 100 having the ETCS function according to the present invention includes a power supply unit 102 for supplying power required by the system, and a function of ETCS along with a function of navigation. CPU 104 which is a central processing unit in charge of arithmetic processing and control, GPS module 106 for checking the current position information of the vehicle by GPS satellite signals, and DMB module for DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) service ( 108), an ETCS RF unit 110 for communication with the ETCS system, a smart card interface 112 for interfacing with a smart card for toll payment, and various information and processing details related to navigation and ETCS services are stored. The main memory 114 and the expansion memory 116, the map data storage unit 118 storing the map data, and the map information together with various information such as the current position and driving direction of the vehicle on the screen. LCD display unit 120, the voice output unit 122 of the speaker for outputting the current location and traffic information or warning information, and the remote control and operation of the operation settings and the like through the touch screen And a command input unit 124 for inputting, a speed detector 126 and a speed recognition unit 128 for deriving a vehicle's traveling speed, distance, and arrival time, and the like, and a file format capable of playing an MP3, a video, or an image. A control unit for controlling an LCD screen display or audio output and file playback through connection with the 130, an external interface 132 provided for a USB port and an A (Audio) / V (video) input, and a CPU 104; 134.

In this case, the CPU 104 may be configured as a dual CPU, one CPU may be used as an operation processing process for performing navigation, and the other CPU may be used as an operation processing process for performing ETCS.

The expansion memory 116 supports an SD flash memory card in the concept of auxiliary memory.

That is, the navigation integrated terminal 100 combined with the ETCS function according to the present invention is configured by integrating the vehicle terminal (OBU) and the navigation terminal for utilization of the ETCS system, but the power unit and CPU, memory unit, The GPS module and LCD display components are configured to be used in common, and the ETCS function is added to the vehicle navigation system with GPS function, DMB function and video playback function.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2 the operation of the navigation integrated terminal 100 with the ETCS function according to the present invention having such a configuration as follows.

When the power of the terminal is turned on (S1), the CPU 104 executes the initialization of the navigation function (S2), and receives a satellite navigation signal from the GPS satellite (S3) to calculate the current vehicle position (S4). The module 106 receives the current position information of the vehicle and executes the operation of the navigation (S5).

At this time, the CPU 104 sends a signal for navigation display to the control unit 134 based on the stored data stored in the map data storage unit 118 together with the position information from the GPS module 106, and at the same time the LCD display unit The display 120 displays a peripheral map of the current driving position on the screen and displays the current position of the vehicle on the displayed map.

When a signal indicating that the vehicle has entered the Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) region, which is a short-range dedicated communication network, is generated through the ETCS RF unit 110 while the operation of the navigation is performed (S6), the CPU 104 controls the controller 134. The control signal is given to the LCD display unit 120 so that the user can select whether or not to select to execute the ETCS function (S7).

At this time, when a signal indicating that the vehicle has entered the DSRC region and selecting whether to execute the ETCS function is selected, the voice output unit 122 may be configured to guide the user to the voice output.

If the user does not choose to use the ETCS function, the user is fed back to the operation execution step (S5) of the navigation, and the steps S6 and S7 are repeated.

When the user selects the use of the ETCS function, the ETCS RF unit 110 communicates with the ETCS system installed in the toll gate through the continuous operation of the navigation (S8) and performs the authentication work for automatic toll payment (S9). .

The CPU 104 checks the authentication procedure and if the authentication is not performed, the CPU 104 is fed back to the operation execution step (S5) of the navigation so that the above steps S6 and S7 are repeated.

When the authentication is confirmed, using the smart card mounted on the terminal 100 performs the automatic payment of tolls (S10).

When the automatic payment of tolls is performed, the CPU 104 controls whether or not the vehicle record such as driving records and paid tolls is stored on the LCD display 120 to be displayed on the display and the user performs the check operation (S11). )

If the user does not select the storage of the vehicle operation history, the CPU 104 causes the feedback to step S5 of executing the operation of the navigation. If the user selects the storage, the user stores the details in the main memory 114 and executes the operation of the navigation. In step S5, the feedback (S12).

Meanwhile, the navigation integrated terminal combined with the ETCS function according to the present invention has been described with reference to the specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings as described above, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto. It may be variously substituted, modified and modified, which will be attributed to the present invention.

According to the navigation integrated terminal with the ETCS function according to the present invention as described above, by combining the power unit and CPU, memory unit, GPS module, LCD display unit commonly used in the vehicle terminal for the existing navigation terminal and ETCS system It is possible to provide a device equipped with the ETCS function in the navigation by configuring a process for efficiency of use.

Accordingly, through the integrated navigation terminal equipped with the ETCS function, in addition to the navigation function including the GPS function, the DMB function, the Mp3 function, and the video playback function, the ETCS service can be additionally provided at the same time. Not only can it use a low cost and relatively versatile terminal, but also it is useful to prevent unnecessary waste of resources and to utilize the space in the vehicle more efficiently.
