At this time, the telematics server turns on a lamp located adjacent to the trunk, thereby making the image photographed by the rear camera sharper.

When the driver terminal requests the telematics server for the image by the rear camera (S410), the telematics server can confirm the light amount from the illuminance sensor mounted on the vehicle. Previously, the telematics server may activate an ignition activating a rear camera and an illuminance sensor upon receiving the video request. There are many types of vehicle ignition. For example, the ignition may be an accessory (Acc), an on (On), or a start (Start). In an accessory, a vehicle can activate some electrical components that require electrical energy. On the other hand, the vehicle can activate all electrical components requiring electrical energy. At start-up, the vehicle activates the drive engine or drive motor and activates the starter. .

The telematics server can activate the ignition of the accessory to the vehicle when there is a video request, thereby activating the electric control device, the rear camera, and the light sensor to control the trunk.

The amount of light generated by the illuminance sensor may be transmitted to the telematics server through the telematics device mounted on the vehicle (S420). If the amount of light generated by the illuminance sensor is less than a predetermined threshold light amount, the telematics server may transmit a control signal for activating the rear light to the vehicle (S430).

After the back light is activated, the image captured by the rear camera may be transmitted to the driver terminal via the telematics server (S440, S450).

The method according to the above-described embodiments may be implemented as a program to be executed by a computer and stored in a computer-readable recording medium. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD- , A floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like, and may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet).

The computer readable recording medium may be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. And, functional program, code, and code segments for implementing the above-described method can be easily inferred by programmers in the technical field to which the embodiment belongs.
