Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle management system and method using a service convergence network,

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vehicle management system and method, and more particularly, to a vehicle management system and method interfacing with a service convergence network.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a system collecting various information of a vehicle and informing a user is widely used. A variety of systems have been disclosed in which a state of a vehicle engine or various consumables is sensed and provided to a user's smart phone to check the replacement cycle of consumables or to maintain the vehicle.

Registered Patent Publication No. 10-0886682 or 10-1292208 is an example of such a system.

Most of these conventional systems are configured to sense state information of the mechanical or electronic components of the vehicle itself.

And these systems are mainly used for user's personal vehicle management.

On the other hand, since the interior of the vehicle is a tightly closed space, the amount of carbon dioxide increases during long-time operation, or the temperature of a hot blade rises sharply, thereby being exposed to various environmental influences.

The environmental factors in the vehicle have a lot of influence on the driver's driving and passengers, and sometimes they can be fatal to the carbon monoxide that permeates into the vehicle.

In the past, environmental factors inside these vehicles have been overlooked, they can not be felt by human senses, and drivers do not know them numerically.

These environmental factors are greatly influenced by structural defects or characteristics of the vehicle itself, and there is a problem in that the manufacturer can not easily recognize the defects of the vehicle, which are disturbed by the driver's pleasant driving environment, during the manufacturing process.

As described above, since the conventional vehicle information system is limited to the user's personal use, there is a problem that the manufacturer can not grasp a structural defect or a problem due to the model or the model of the vehicle.

Conventionally, there is a problem that the problem of environmental factors inside the vehicle is neglected in addition to the mechanical / electronic defect of the vehicle itself.
