The controller unit 110 generates and transmits to the user terminal 40 the on-switching information according to the switching operation. Accordingly, the communication unit 112 can transmit the on-switching information to the user terminal.

The controller unit 110 may generate at least one of a driving state and a parking state of the motorcycle 10 according to a sensing signal of the driving sensing unit 116. [ The controller 110 may generate the status signal irregularly according to the reception of the sensing signal or may generate the current status signal at predetermined time intervals regardless of the reception of the sensing signal. The driving state signal is a signal that the motorcycle 10 is driven and running, and the parking state signal is a signal that the motorcycle 10 stops driving and is not in operation. The controller unit 110 controls the generated status signal to be transmitted to the user terminal 40 through the communication unit 112. Accordingly, the communication unit 112 can transmit the status signal generated by the controller unit 110 to the user terminal 40. [

The drive sensing unit 116 senses whether the motorcycle 10 is driven and transmits the sensed signal to the controller unit 110. [ To this end, the drive sensing unit 116 includes a current sensing sensor (not shown) that senses the current of the power source output from the main power battery 10-1, a voltage sensing sensor that senses the voltage of the power source output from the main power source battery And an acceleration sensor (not shown) for sensing the vibration due to the driving of the motorcycle.

When the current supplied from the main battery cell 10-1 is equal to or greater than the set reference current, the current detection sensor determines that the starter is in an ON state. When the current supplied from the main battery is less than the set reference current, .

The voltage detection sensor may determine that the starter is in the ON state when the power supplied from the main battery is greater than the set reference voltage and may determine that the starter is in the OFF state when the voltage supplied from the main battery is less than the set reference voltage. At this time, the voltage detection sensor can determine that the starter is on when the sensed voltage is higher than the reference voltage for a predetermined time or more. For example, when the set reference voltage is 13.8 [V] and the voltage of the main battery 10-1 is 13.8 [V] or more and the state continues for a predetermined time, for example, 3 seconds or more, It is determined that the starting is on. If the voltage of the main battery 10-1 is less than 13.8 V or if the detected voltage exceeds the reference voltage, the voltage detection sensor is started only when the start of the motorcycle 10 is off State.

The acceleration sensor is a sensor that senses a physical change state such as a shock, a shake, or a fall that is applied to the motorcycle 10, and may include a gyro sensor. The acceleration detecting sensor compares the sensed acceleration with the set reference acceleration, and determines that the starting is on when the sensed acceleration is equal to or higher than the set reference acceleration, and determines that the starting is off when the sensed acceleration is less than the set reference acceleration .
