In addition, the AVN terminal can mount a display and visually provide necessary information to the user. It is general that a route guidance service is provided to the user using the AVN terminal.

In the prior art, the AVN terminal was able to provide the geo-fence function to the user. Geo-Fence means a geographical fence. The telematics center sets the operation permission area or the operation restriction area and transmits it to the AVN terminal. The AVN terminal can judge whether the vehicle is out of the geo-fence area or entering the vehicle based on the GPS reception information in real time or periodically there was. Also, based on the determined result, the telematics center could transmit the notification message to the predefined terminal.

However, the AVN terminal has a problem that a large amount of electric power is consumed by judging whether the position of the vehicle has entered the geo-fence in real time or periodically. In addition, geo-fence is set based on the radius, and geofence is set wider than the actual area.

Accordingly, the header of the AVN terminal which is guaranteed to be more efficient is requested.

Telematics center 200 may communicate with mobile terminal 300 (e.g., 3G / LTE). The telematics center 200 can transmit the information received from the mobile terminal 300 to the AVN terminal 100. [

2 is a sequence diagram illustrating a control method of an AVN terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 and Fig. 1 will be referred to.

First, the control unit 150 receives a geo-fence setting request from the telematics center 200 (S215).

The telematics center 200 can register the preview-fence information. The geo-fence can be set through the telematics terminal 100, and the geo-fence can be set through the telematics service application of the mobile terminal 100 or the like.

The geo-fence corresponds to a fence in which a service area or a service restriction area of the vehicle is set.

Next, the control unit 150 sets a geo-fence (S220).

The controller 150 may set a geo-fence to at least one operation permission area or at least one operation restriction area.

At this time, the control unit 150 may set the operation permission area or the operation restriction area as a geographical area on the administrative area. The control unit 150 may store geographical area information on the administrative area. The control unit 150 may store the geographical area information through the navigation map.

Thereafter, when the current position of the vehicle is moved from one area to another area (S230), the controller 150 may determine whether one area or another area is associated with the geo-fence set.

Here, the control unit 150 monitors only the movement from one area of the current vehicle to another area. Accordingly, it is not necessary to periodically receive the position information of the vehicle during vehicle movement as in the prior art. Therefore, there is an advantage in using the electric power of the vehicle. In addition, since the present invention uses a movement permission / limitation radius to set a geographical area as a geo-fence, it is possible to overcome the limitations of the prior art in which a geo-fence larger than the geographical area can not be set.

In addition, when the vehicle moves from one area to another area, the controller 150 may determine whether one area or another area is associated with geo-fence (S235).

For example, when the geo-fence area is set, the controller 150 can determine whether one area or another area is included in the service area. The present invention can reduce the power loss generated by receiving the position information of the vehicle periodically and determining whether the position information is included in the geo-fence. In the present invention, only the change of the area of the vehicle is monitored. If the area where the vehicle is traveling is changed, then the control unit 150 determines whether the changed area is out of the serviceable area.

Thereafter, the control unit 150 may transmit the notification message to the telematics center 200 (S245) if there is an association with the geo-fence in which one area or another area is set (S240).

For example, if the geo-fence is a restricted area, the control unit 150 may transmit a notification message to the telematics center 200 if the area where the vehicle is moving is a restricted area. The telematics center 200 transmits a notification message to the previously registered mobile terminal 300.

3 is a diagram illustrating an operation of an AVN terminal when moving from one area to another area in the AVN terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the AVN terminal 100 executes a navigation application. The AVN terminal 100 provides a route through the CC route through the BB route through the AA route.

When the vehicle moves from AA to BB, the AVN terminal 100 can determine whether the AA area or the BB area is a geo-fence area since the vehicle has entered the new area BB. Only when the area is changed, the AVN terminal 100 determines whether the area is set as a geo-fence area. Thus, the power consumption consumption can be improved as compared with the prior art.

If the AVN terminal 100 is set to the first available area and only the AA operation and the BB operation are performed and the vehicle moves to the CC operation area, the AVN terminal 100 returns to the telematics center 200, Can send a notification message.

Then, the telematics center 200 can transmit the corresponding information to the mobile terminal 300 registered in advance.

For example, it can be assumed that the owner of the vehicle is the father, the father sets AA and BB in the area where the vehicle can be operated, and lends the vehicle to the child. At this time, if the vehicle moves to CC, a notification message indicating that the geo-fence has been released to the father's mobile terminal may be transmitted.

In addition, the AVN terminal 100 can implement the geo-fence function as a geo-fence application. After receiving the geo-fence setting information from the telematics center 200, the geo-fence application can receive local information of the vehicle from the navigation application. At this time, the geo-fence application can determine whether the received area information is related to the geo-fence area set, and if there is an association, send a notification message to the telematics center 200.

In addition, the AVN terminal 100 can set a geo-fence as an area classified by roads.

However, it may be more efficient to set the area by city rather than by area.

Meanwhile, in a computer-readable recording medium including a program for executing a control method of an AVN terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method includes a step of setting a geo-fence, Monitoring the position of the current vehicle on a regional basis through a navigation map, determining whether the current location of the vehicle is associated with a geo-fence in which one region or another region is set, , And transmitting a notification signal to the telematics center when one area or another area is associated with the geo-fence set.

On the other hand, the present invention described above can be embodied as computer-readable code on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer readable medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, , And may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet). In addition, the computer may include a control unit 180 of the terminal. Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by rational interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the scope of equivalents of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
