DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a recovery system for a mobile storage device using a video recording apparatus for a vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a recovery system for a removable storage device using the image recording apparatus for a vehicle according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating an internal structure of the removable storage device of FIG.

1 and 2, the recovery system 100 of the mobile storage device using the video recording apparatus for a vehicle according to the present invention includes a removable storage device 110, a sensing unit 120, a determination unit 130, A responding unit 140, a restoring unit 150, and a control unit 160. [0033]

The portable storage device 110 stores data. A removable storage device is a flash memory, and data such as an MP3 file, which is typically downloaded, is compressed and stored in a flash memory to save memory space.

Such a portable storage device 110 is nonvolatile, such as a hard disk, and has a fast access speed and consumes a small amount of power, and thus is widely used in applications such as embedded systems and mobile communication terminals.

The portable storage device 110 is not a mechanical storage device such as a hard disk but is a semiconductor storage device that is inexpensive and has excellent compatibility so that it can be detached or mounted on a digital camera, camcorder, navigation device, This is possible.

The portable storage device 110 is called a NAND memory because it uses Nand among Logic semiconductors such as And, Or, Not, Nand, and Nor.

The mobile storage device 110 may be a single level cell (SLC) type, a multi level cell (MLC) type, or a triple level cell (TLC) type, depending on the structure.

The mobile storage device 110 has a built-in NAND memory for storing firmware or data in a black box, which is a video recording device for a vehicle, and is mainly used as an SLC type to improve reliability. Although the SLC type is several times more expensive than the MLC type, it has superior read speed and write speed, which is superior in terms of speed and reliability.

The removable storage device 110 has a memory chip mounted on one surface of the main body 111 to store and read millions to billions of data.

The removable storage device 110 is divided into a system area 110a and a user area 110b. In the present invention, the damaged area of the removable storage device 110 is the system area 110a. If the system area 110a is damaged or the like in the area of the portable storage device 110 is damaged, the portable storage device 110 can not be used even if there is no physical problem , And if only the user area 110b is damaged, data can be recovered using the format function.

The system area 110a is an area in which at least one or more of the operating voltage related to the physical information of the portable storage device 110, the entire available memory space, and the size of data that can be read and written at one time is recorded, Is an area where data is stored.

In the portable storage device 110, a connector 110c is formed on the other surface corresponding to one surface on which the memory chip is mounted. The connector 110c is a portion that contacts the inside of the video recording apparatus for a vehicle in which a plurality of metals are mounted on one end of the main body and inserted.

The portable storage device 110 is formed with a write-protect recess 110d adjacent to the connector 110c. Specifically, the write-preventive recess 110d is formed on the side surface of the main body 111 and is not related to the internal circuit board.

The portable storage device 110 has a write-protect switch inside a slot of a black box, which is a video recording device for a vehicle, and is written or formatted according to whether the write-protect switch is pressed or not.

The sensing signal of the sensing unit 120 refers to an electrical signal generated by a sensor according to a predetermined rule when the portable storage device 110 is inserted into the video recording apparatus for a vehicle.

The determination unit 130 determines whether or not the portable storage device 110 is damaged in response to the sensing signal transmitted from the sensing unit 120. The determination unit 130 determines whether the portable storage device 110 is a removable storage device 110 that can perform a normal function or a removable storage device 110 that can not perform a normal function through the sensing signal transmitted from the sensing unit 120 (110).

Specifically, when the removable storage device 110 is inserted, the determination unit 130 reads a value recorded in the system area 110a or the user area 110b to check whether a basic operation is possible. If the system area 110a or the user area 110b of the removable storage device 110 is not normally read, it is physically damaged and thus is not available to the user.

If the system area 110a is not normally read, the formatting function can not be used. Therefore, the portable storage device 110 can not be used. In the case of the user area 110b, Data can be restored by using the function.

The responding unit 140 responds to the presence or absence of damage to the removable storage device 110 determined by the determining unit 130. The responding unit 140 outputs a screen image or voice to inform the user that the portable storage device 110 can not be used due to a damage.

The responding unit 140 outputs a voice, that is, a response unit 140, to the portable storage device 110, And information on the presence or absence of damage to the user.

The response unit 140 for outputting a screen image or a voice may simultaneously output a screen image and a voice when the user can not confirm the result.

The recovery unit 150 restores the system area 110a, which is a damaged area of the removable storage device 110, which has been responded to the presence or absence of the damage, through the recovery program.

The restoration program of the restoration unit 150 is installed in the vehicle image recording apparatus. The restoration program installed in the video recording apparatus for a vehicle is usually firmware, which is operated through this firmware. Firmware refers to a program that controls hardware when driving a video recording device for a vehicle. These firmware are constantly being developed in the new version even after the release of the product in order to fix the stable performance and the bug of the vehicle image recording device.

The recovery unit 150 may recover the system area 110a by inserting the various removable storage devices 110 that are damaged.

The control unit 160 determines a restoration force corresponding to the damaged area of the mobile storage device 110 that is answered in response to the presence or absence of the damage from the response unit 140 and transfers the determination result to the restoration unit 150. [ In detail, the controller 160 reads or writes data stored in the removable storage device 110 normally when the removable storage device 110 inserted in the vehicle video recording device is not damaged.

In contrast, when the removable storage device 110 is damaged, the controller 160 can not normally read or write data stored in the removable storage device 110, ) Can be restored easily through the recovery program.

The verification unit 170 confirms the recovery state of the portable storage device 110 recovered through the recovery unit 150. [ The confirmation unit 170 may determine whether or not the removable storage device 110 that has been recovered through the restoring unit 150 is damaged or damaged before being inserted into at least one of a personal computer (PC), a mobile phone, .

When the portable storage device 110 is normally restored, the portable storage device 110 is inserted into the electronic product and reused. On the other hand, when the portable storage device 110 is not normally restored, . This method is repeated to recover the damaged removable storage device 110.
