It should be understood, however, that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The terminology used in this application is used only to describe a specific embodiment and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

1 is a configuration diagram of a smart vehicle system according to the present invention.

1 includes a driver sensor unit 110, a steering sensor unit 120, a ceiling sensor unit 130, an alcohol concentration measurement unit 140, a camera 150, a vehicle control unit 160, A speaker 170, an air conditioner 180, and a driving hot wire portion 190.

The driver's seat sensor unit 110 is a sensor unit capable of measuring the weight of a driver sitting on a driver's seat. The driver's seat sensor unit 110 may be implemented by a pressure sensor installed on the driver's seat. The value measured by the driver's seat sensor unit 110 differs according to the weight of the person sitting in the driver's seat, so that it is possible to estimate who the driver is based on the measured value of the driver's seat sensor unit 110. [

The handle sensor unit 120 is a sensor unit mounted on a handle of a vehicle, and is a sensor unit capable of measuring an electrocardiogram and a body temperature of a person holding the handle.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) can be measured by contacting two or more electrodes with the body and using electrical signals received through the electrodes. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a measurement that is performed by placing an electrode near the heart, but it can be measured even if it is placed on the hand or finger.

The handle sensor unit of the present invention is provided with two or more electrodes, and electrodes are provided at positions where one hand can contact each electrode when the driver holds the handle with the left hand and the right hand. Therefore, electrocardiogram can be measured when both hands hold each electrode. However, when the handle is rotated, when the hands are not in contact with the respective electrodes, the electrocardiogram is not measured. However, when driving, there will be a moment when you hold the electrode with both hands, so you can measure the electrocardiogram during that time. A technique for measuring an electrocardiogram by contacting an electrode with both hands is disclosed, so a detailed description is omitted.

If a thermometer is installed at the position where the handle is held, the temperature of the hand holding the handle can be measured. However, if the driver does not place his / her hand in the position where the thermometer is installed, the body temperature is not measured. However, when driving, there will be a moment when you hold the thermometer with both hands, so you can measure the temperature of your hand during that time.

The ceiling sensor part 130 is a sensor part installed on the ceiling of the vehicle, and can measure temperature, humidity, foreign matter, etc. inside the vehicle.

When the concentration of the foreign substance is large, it is preferable that the air inside the vehicle is automatically ventilated to lower the concentration of the foreign substance. It is preferable that the ceiling sensor 130 can measure the oxygen concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration inside the vehicle. When the vehicle is set in the internal circulation mode, if the air inside the vehicle is not mixed with outside air for a long time, the oxygen concentration becomes low and the carbon dioxide concentration becomes high. If the oxygen concentration is low and the carbon dioxide concentration is high, it is preferable to automatically introduce air outside the vehicle into the vehicle to lower the carbon dioxide concentration and increase the oxygen concentration.

The alcohol concentration measuring unit 140 measures the alcohol concentration of the driver's respiration to measure whether the driver is drinking or not. The alcohol concentration measuring unit 140 can be implemented by a general alcohol meter. That is, when the driver spits out air through the mouth, the amount of alcohol in the air can be measured.

The camera 150 is a device installed in a position where the front face of the driver's face can be photographed in the vehicle, and is capable of photographing the face of the driver. So that the physical condition and the psychological state of the driver can be estimated from the image of the camera 150. For example, if a driver's eyes are caught, it can be assumed that he is sleepy. If the driver's face is angry, it can be assumed that he is in an angry state. Also, if the driver's face is smiley, it can be assumed that he is in a pleasant psychological state.

The vehicle control unit 160 is a device that can control various devices in the vehicle.

That is, it is possible to read the measurement values of various sensors (e.g., a driver's seat sensor section, a steering sensor section, a ceiling sensor section, an alcohol concentration measurement section, etc.) To control the internal environment.

The speaker 170 is a device capable of outputting sound.

The air conditioner 180 is a device for controlling the temperature of the air flowing into the vehicle. It is preferable that the air conditioner of the present invention can adjust the humidity of the air flowing into the vehicle.

The driver's seat heating wire portion 190 is a heating wire installed in the driver's seat and capable of raising the temperature by applying heat to the heating wire. When the temperature of the hot wire rises, the portion of the driver's body touching the hot wire portion becomes warm.

In the smart vehicle system of the present invention, the driver preliminarily stores his or her preferred vehicle adjustment information (for example, height, position, mirror angle, room temperature, room humidity, etc.) .

After the driver sits on the driver's seat, the driver's person is estimated based on the measured value of the driver's seat sensor unit 110, and then the vehicle adjustment information (for example, the height and position of the meteorite, Angle, room temperature, room humidity, etc.) to adjust the seat, mirror, temperature, and humidity of the vehicle. The driver can manually adjust the vehicle environment if he or she does not like the vehicle environment (seat position, mirror position, temperature, humidity, etc.) of the vehicle.

The driver can always make the movement of the vehicle possible only after the alcohol concentration measuring unit 140 measures the alcohol concentration before the start of the vehicle and the concentration of the alcohol is below a predetermined standard. If the vehicle is set up like this, drunk driving becomes impossible.

If the foreign substance concentration of the vehicle measured by the ceiling sensor unit 130 is higher than a predetermined standard, the air of the vehicle is automatically discharged to the outside and the outside air can be introduced. If the concentration of oxygen is below a certain level, the air of the vehicle is automatically discharged to the outside and the outside air can be introduced.

A sound suitable for the emotion state and the body state estimated by the camera 150 and the handle sensor unit 160 may be output through the speaker.

For example, if the driver is in a depressed state, bright music can be controlled to be output from the speaker. Or if the driver is estimated to be in a sleepy state, a warning sound may be output through the speaker.

When the driver is asleep, he or she can be awakened by sending a cold wind to the head through the outlet of the air conditioner. However, if you continue to send cold winds to the driver, the driver will feel cold, and if you feel the cold for a long time, the driver will eventually feel tired. However, by using the air-conditioner outlet to send a cold wind to the driver's head and to warm the back and hips of the driver by using the heat of the driver's seat, the driver can fall asleep without feeling cold.

However, if the driver's weight is estimated by the driver's weight, there may be an error in the estimation. For example, people who are similar in weight can not be estimated accurately. If the driver wears heavy clothes or changes his weight, he may be presumed to be another driver.

If the information about the smartphone of the driver is registered in advance and it is possible to recognize the smartphone, it is possible to accurately recognize which driver is the driver.

If the smartphone is installed inside the vehicle and the smartphone is mounted on the smartphone holder of the vehicle, if the smartphone and the vehicle controller can communicate with each other, the vehicle controller can recognize the smartphone, Can be recognized accurately.

 An example of how a smartphone can be placed in the smartphone cradle of the vehicle is to allow the smartphone to communicate with the car controller, such that when a smartphone is placed on a smartphone cradle, certain buttons are pressed by the smartphone And the vehicle control unit recognizes the depression of the button so that the communication of the smartphone is connected.

2 is an example in which a button is installed on a smartphone cradle.

When the smartphone 300 is placed on the smartphone holder 200, the button 210 is pressed by the smartphone 300. If there is a push switch under the button 210, the vehicle controller 160 can recognize the change of the push switch when the button 210 is pressed. When the vehicle control unit 160 recognizes the change of the push switch, it can control the communication connection with the smartphone. The communication method can use Bluetooth communication or the like.

When the smartphone is mounted on a smartphone holder, it is desirable to serve as a charger so that the smartphone can be charged.

When the smartphone is mounted on the smartphone holder, it is preferable that information of a song preferred by the driver is transmitted from the smartphone to the vehicle controller 160 so that the song is output from the speaker first.
