Referring to FIG. 3 , the controller 12 of the mobile terminal control system adjacent to a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention generates a mobile terminal control command for popping up advertisement information about the vehicle first, and generates the mobile terminal control command After modulating based on a preset infrared communication protocol, the infrared transmitter 111-114 may be adjusted to output the modulated signal so that the infrared signal may be output from the infrared transmitter 111-114 (S11).

Here, the mobile terminal control command includes information displayed on a pop-up window to be displayed on a mobile terminal that has received an infrared signal in the vicinity of the vehicle, and an action key capable of activating the pop-up window so that the mobile terminal that has received the infrared signal displays information. can

Next, the mobile terminal 20 around the vehicle receives the infrared signal output from the infrared transmitters 111-114 of the vehicle in the vicinity of the vehicle (S12), and the mobile terminal 20 that receives the infrared signal demodulates the infrared signal. Thus, an operation corresponding to the mobile terminal control command included in the infrared signal can be performed (S12).

Next, the mobile terminal 20 may pop-up advertisement information about the vehicle according to the demodulated mobile terminal control command ( S13 ). The advertisement information popped up on the mobile terminal in step S13 may be provided by the external advertisement server 30 . In order to provide such advertisements, the vehicle adjacent portable terminal control system according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an advertisement server 30 capable of providing advertisement information by communicating with the portable terminal 20 through a network. . In the vehicle adjacent portable terminal control system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control command of the infrared signal transmitted to the portable terminal may be a control command for popping up an advertisement page stored in the advertisement server 30 .

Next, when the advertisement page pop-up in the mobile terminal is maintained for more than a certain period of time (S14), the advertisement server 30 determines that the person who has checked the advertisement page has a high degree of interest in and purchase intention for the vehicle and induces the purchase of the vehicle. It is possible to provide an additional advertisement page that can be opened to the mobile terminal 30 (S15). For example, the additional advertisement page that can induce the purchase of a vehicle may be a purchase discount coupon provision page, a purchase event page, and the like.

The advertisement server 30 determines that the purchase intention is not great when the advertisement page popped up in the mobile terminal is not maintained for more than a certain period of time (S14), that is, when the holder of the mobile terminal closes the advertisement page without opening the advertisement page for more than a predetermined time, and An event pop-up to induce an acquaintance to share the advertisement page may be executed (S16).

As described above, in the vehicle adjacent portable terminal control system according to an embodiment of the present invention, an advertisement page of the vehicle is opened on the portable terminal of people who have a high interest in the vehicle, such as photographing the vehicle using infrared communication. can stimulate sales.

In-vehicle video conferencing security application example

In a vehicle capable of autonomous driving of a certain level or higher, a video conference may be conducted in the vehicle while the vehicle is driving by using an in-vehicle display device (eg, an audio video navigation (AVN) system). As such, there is a potential for security problems such as recording or recording the contents of a meeting among vehicle occupants using a personal mobile terminal when conducting an in-vehicle video conference and leaking it to the outside.

In order to solve the problem of leakage of meeting contents, the vehicle adjacent portable terminal control system according to an embodiment of the present invention may control the vehicle occupant's portable terminal through infrared communication to block the recording or recording function.
