In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the registering and data of the driver's image information may include: generating a driver registration signal by operating a smart key; Receiving a driver registration signal from the vision controller to issue a photographing command to the vision camera; A process of photographing the driver's appearance existing outside the vehicle by the vision camera; Registering the driver's image information with the vision controller; Characterized in that proceeds.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the step of blocking starting of the vehicle when the driver is not the registered driver is characterized in that the engine fuel cut is performed by the engine ECU when the vehicle is driven over a predetermined driving distance after the vehicle is started. .

In addition, when the vehicle travels over a certain driving distance after the start of the vehicle, the step of transmitting the alarm signal to the mobile phone of the driver in the telematics embedded AVN system is characterized in that the progress.

Through the above-mentioned means for solving the problems, the present invention provides the following effects.

According to the present invention, the driver's appearance information is pre-registered in the driver recognition system, and even if a driver other than the registered driver starts to ride in the vehicle, the vehicle is automatically turned off when a certain mileage is crossed, thereby preventing theft of the vehicle. have.

In addition, when driving by an unregistered driver, it is possible to prevent theft of the vehicle more easily by notifying the driver of the driver's mobile phone through the telematics.

1 is a block diagram showing a driver recognition device using a smart key according to the present invention,
2 is a flow chart illustrating a driver recognition method using a smart key according to the present invention.

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

The present invention has a main point to prevent theft of the vehicle by preventing the unregistered driver attempts to drive the vehicle by pre-registering the appearance information of the true driver by using the vision system linked with the smart key.

To this end, as shown in the accompanying FIG. 1, a function of generating a driver registration signal is added to the smart key 10, for example, by installing a separate driver registration button 12 and pressing it for 2 seconds or more. The driver registration signal is generated through a communication module embedded in the key 10.

In addition, the driver registration and determination vision system 20 which receives the driver registration signal generated by the smart key 10 and photographs the driver's state and records the data is mounted on the vehicle.

More specifically, the driver registration and determination vision system 20 includes a vision controller 22 mounted in a vehicle to receive a driver registration signal, and a command signal of the vision controller 22 mounted at a predetermined external location of the vehicle. In accordance with the configuration, including a vision camera 24 for taking a picture of the driver existing outside the vehicle.

On the other hand, the vehicle is equipped with a telematics embedded AVN system 10 for integrated management of a DVD player, radio, navigation, telematics capable of wireless communication, etc. in a center fascia panel. 30 receives a signal of the vision controller 22, that is, a signal determined as an invalid driver rather than a legitimate driver, and transmits an alarm signal to the driver's mobile phone 32. For this purpose, the vision controller 22 ) And the controller for controlling the AVN system are communicatively connected.

In addition, the engine ECU for the overall control for driving the engine includes the fuel cut logic bar, in the present invention to use the fuel cut logic of the engine ECU to prevent vehicle theft, the vision controller 22 and the engine ECU for this purpose Is communicatively connected.

Here, the driver recognition method using the smart key of the present invention based on the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

First, a process of registering a driver's image information and making a database by operating the smart key 10 is performed.

That is, when the driver registration signal is generated by pressing the driver registration button of the smart key 10 for two seconds or more through the communication module built in the smart key 10, the driver registration signal is received by the vision controller 22 to generate a vision. The camera 24 issues a shooting command, and the vision camera 24 captures the driver's appearance (key, appearance (physical degree), face, gait pattern, etc.) existing outside the vehicle, and the captured driver's image. The information is stored and registered in the vision controller 22 and made into a database.

When the driver's appearance information is stored in the vision controller 22 as described above, when a driver registered in the future approaches the vehicle with a smart key, the vision controller 22 receives a door release signal generated from the smart key. At the same time, a driver photographing command is issued to the vision camera 24.

Therefore, when the driver photographs the driver outside the vehicle by the vision camera 24 and transmits the captured image to the vision controller 22, the driver image information currently photographed by the vision controller 22 and the driver image information registered in advance. The comparison is made to determine whether the registered driver is correct.

When it is determined that the registered driver is correct, the vehicle is started normally by the smart key 10, and other convenient devices such as the electric seat move automatically to the driver can be linked to the driver.

If the driver is not a registered driver, the vehicle is blocked from starting at a certain time.

For example, if a driver leaves a smart key for car wash or maintenance, an unregistered mechanic, not a registered driver, can start the vehicle and drive as much as the mileage required for car wash or maintenance. When the vehicle is driven over a distance, the engine fuel cut is performed by the engine ECU 40 to turn off the vehicle.

In other words, the engine ECU 40 receives the determination result signal from the vision controller 22, that is, the result signal indicating that the driver is not a registered driver, and receives the driving distance from the odometer of the cluster, and travels over a certain driving distance. When the engine is cut off, vehicle theft can be easily prevented by performing an engine fuel cut to turn off the vehicle.

At the same time, the telematics-equipped AVN system 30 receives the determination result signal from the vision controller 22, that is, the result signal of not being a registered driver, and receives a mileage from the mileometer of the cluster, and over a certain mileage. When the driving is made, by sending an alarm signal to the driver's mobile phone 32, a legitimate driver can recognize the vehicle theft state.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the registered driver is correct as described above, after the vehicle starting by the smart key 10 is normally performed, and a normal starting signal is transmitted to the body control controller, the integrated memory sheet (IMS: Integrated) in the body control controller Memory Seat), that is, logic for automatically adjusting the position of the electric seat according to the driver's body is processed, and the navigation included in the telematics embedded AVN system 30 is automatically turned on, and the audio channel is You can implement logic such as operating in a preset state.
