Since the mobile communication network 300, the Internet network 400, and the wired communication network 500 are well-known configurations, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, a system abnormality check function of a vehicle remote management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, "system abnormality" is a concept including "communication network damage" and "system failure", and "communication network damage" refers to the mobile communication network 300 between the vehicle management apparatus 100 and the vehicle management server 200 and If there is a problem in the exchange, router, base station or transmission path of the Internet network 400 / wired communication network 500 connected to the communication network disabled if the communication between the car management device 100 and the car management server 200 is disrupted That is, "the failure of the system itself" refers to a case in which the car management apparatus 100 or the car management server 200 has failed.

The system abnormality check function of the vehicle remote management system according to the present embodiment is performed by the vehicle management server 200 to the vehicle management apparatus 100 in a non-billing manner without forming a call path. Hereinafter, a case in which the vehicle management apparatus 100 and the vehicle management server 200 are connected through the mobile communication network 300 including one switch is described as an example, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

When the vehicle management server 200 transmits to the vehicle management apparatus 100 at set intervals, the mobile communication network 300, that is, the exchanger of the mobile communication network 300 transmits a call signal to the vehicle management apparatus 100, and manages the vehicle. The server 200 transmits a ring tone.

Here, the "call signal" refers to a signal transmitted from the exchange to the called terminal device so that the called terminal device emits a ring tone. CID (Calling Identity Delivery) data is inserted between the call signals, so that the car management apparatus 100 may check that the received call signal is a call signal generated by the car management server 200. In addition, the "call tone" refers to a signal that the exchange sends to the calling terminal, and in case of disconnection of the called party or sudden power-off of the mobile communication terminal 110, it is mechanically transmitted to the calling party. Etc. are included. Equipment of a communication network that causes a "call signal" or "call tone" may be an exchange, a call processing device or a gateway depending on the type of network to which it is connected.

The "setting cycle" is a system abnormality check cycle, and refers to a transmission cycle set to transmit a call signal, that is, a call signal cycle, and is freely provided by the vehicle management apparatus 100, the user terminal 20, or the vehicle management server 200. The setting period may be transmitted to the vehicle management apparatus 100 through the mobile communication network 300.

The mobile communication terminal 110 of the vehicle management apparatus 100 transmits a call signal through the transmission of the communication unit 210 of the car management server 200 through the CID data located between the first call signal and the second call signal. If it is determined that the call signal is not sent by the call of the vehicle management server 200, it continues to be on-hook (on-hook) state does not form a call path. Here, the "on-hook state" refers to a state in which a handset is put down, a state of not pressing a call connection button when a telephone ringing, or a state of pressing a call termination button during a call connection request or during a call. No charge is made because it is not formed.

If it is determined that the call signal is transmitted by the vehicle management server 200 through the CID data, the vehicle management apparatus 100 may turn on the hook until the number of received call signals reaches the reference call signal number. The state is maintained and the call signal after the reference call signal number is switched to the off-hook state to form a call path. Here, the "off-hook state" refers to a state in which a handset is held, a call connection request state, or a state in which a call connection button is pressed when a telephone ringing, and a call path is formed to transmit and receive data and to charge.

"Reference call signal number" is a reference number set by the user, so that the car management device 100 can distinguish whether the call signal generated by the transmission of the car management server 200 is a signal for checking system failure or a valid data transmission signal. It is preferable to set to 1 to 2 times.

If the reference call signal number is set to two times, the vehicle management apparatus 100 maintains the on-hook state until the second call signal is received, and the off-hook state for the subsequent call signals. Is switched to.

While the car management apparatus 100 receives the call signal up to the first or second call signal, the car management server 200 receives one or more call tones from the exchange, and immediately receives on-hook as much as the reference call tone. By stopping the transmission to the vehicle management apparatus 100 so that the transmission of the call signal is no longer made. Accordingly, since the vehicle management apparatus 100 receives only the second call signal, the vehicle management apparatus 100 remains in the on-hook state, and since the call signals exceeding the reference number of call signals are not received, the vehicle management server 200 is received. Judge that the origination is for system abnormality check and perform the following procedure. "Reference call tone" refers to the reference number of the call tone set by the user so as to secure enough time for the called party to receive the reference call signal number, and the reference call tone is determined according to the type and number of connected networks.

The car management apparatus 100 induces a response call signal for notifying the car management server 200 that the system is not abnormal. That is, the vehicle management apparatus 100 transmits to the vehicle management server 200 so that the exchanger sends a response call signal to the vehicle management server 200, and the exchanger transmits the response call signal to the vehicle management server 200. At the same time, the car management apparatus 100 transmits a ring tone.

When the vehicle management server 200 waiting for the response call signal after stopping the transmission to the vehicle management apparatus 100 receives the response call signal, it is determined that the system is not abnormal. On the other hand, the vehicle management apparatus 100 is switched to the on-hook state when receiving the ring tone of the reference call tone from the exchange.

If the system is abnormal, since the vehicle management apparatus 100 does not receive the call signal sent by the call of the vehicle management server 200, the response call signal may not be transmitted to the vehicle management server 200. That is, when the vehicle management server 200 which guides the system abnormality check call signal is transmitted, if the response call signal is not received, the vehicle management server 200 determines the state as a system error, and accordingly, the message processing unit 230 sends the user terminal 20 to the user terminal 20. Send a system anomaly message to encourage recovery by the user. This state is also stored in the data management unit 220 as a record.

In addition, when only the vehicle control unit 120 and / or the state detection device 130 is a failure, the mobile communication terminal 110 does not transmit a response call signal to the vehicle management server 200, the vehicle management device ( 100) can be informed that a system error has occurred.

If the vehicle management server 200 transmits to the vehicle management apparatus 100 to check a system abnormality or transmit a control signal, but is in a busy state (that is, a state of receiving a busy sound, a runaway sound, etc. from an exchange), the setting waits. After the time is re-sent to the vehicle management apparatus 100 for a predetermined time and resends the call signal, if the busy state is repeated more than a certain number of times, the message processing unit 230 transmits a busy message to the user terminal 20 , To induce confirmation by the user.

When the car management server 200 wants to transmit data to the car management apparatus 100, the car management apparatus 100 transmits a call signal by transmitting to the car management apparatus 100, and as much as a reference call number for the transmitted call signal. Even if a ringing tone is received, the off-hook state is maintained and the call signal is not stopped. Accordingly, the vehicle management apparatus 100 receives the call signal more than two times the reference call signal number, and is switched to the off-hook state to form a call path and receive data from the car management server 200. Examples of received data include A / S-related information such as control signals and equipment failure inquiries, and control data (various setting cycles, user authentication data such as user ID and password, user terminal authentication data, and vehicle management device authentication data). And control data download related information.

Hereinafter will be described a vehicle remote management system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In the previous embodiment, the car management server 200 transmits to the car management apparatus 100 so that the exchange of the mobile communication network 300 transmits a call signal, and the car management apparatus 100 transmits to the car management server 200. Although the exchange sends a response call signal to check the system abnormality, in the present embodiment, the car management apparatus 100 sends the car management server 200 to induce the call signal to be sent to the car management server 200, It has a structure to check the above.

In the vehicle remote management system according to the present embodiment, the vehicle management apparatus 100 periodically checks the system abnormality with the vehicle management server 200 in an unpaid manner that does not form a communication path.

If it is determined that the call signal is transmitted by the vehicle management apparatus 100 through the CID data, the vehicle management server 200 is on-hook until the number of received call signals reaches the number of reference call signals. The state is maintained and the call signal after the reference call signal number is switched to the off-hook state to form a call path.

If the reference call signal number is set to two times, the vehicle management server 200 maintains the on-hook state until the second call signal is received, and the off-hook state for the subsequent call signals. Is switched to.

While the car management server 200 receives the call signal up to the first or second call signal, the car management device 100 receives one or more call tones from the exchange, and immediately receives on-hook as much as the reference call tone. By stopping the transmission to the vehicle management server 200, the transmission of the call signal is no longer made. Accordingly, since the vehicle management server 200 receives only the second call signal at most, the vehicle management server 200 is kept in the on-hook state, and since the call signals exceeding the reference call signal number are not received, the vehicle management apparatus 100 is provided. It is determined that the origination by means of the system abnormality check.

In addition, since the vehicle management server 200 receives the call signal by the origination of the vehicle management apparatus 100, it is determined that the system is not abnormal, this state is stored as a record in the data management unit 220.

If the system is abnormal, the vehicle management server 200 does not receive the call signal sent by the transmission of the vehicle management apparatus 100 even after the setting cycle has elapsed. The processor 230 transmits a system abnormal message to the user terminal 20 to induce recovery by the user. This state is also stored in the data management unit 220 as a record.

In addition, even when only the vehicle control unit 120 and / or the state detection device 130 is broken, the mobile communication terminal 110 does not transmit to the car management server 200 even after a set period has elapsed. Device 100 can be informed that a system failure has occurred.

If the vehicle management apparatus 100 transmits to the vehicle management server 200 to check a system abnormality or transmit data, but is in a busy state (that is, a state of receiving a busy sound, a runaway sound, etc. from an exchange), the setting waiting time After re-sending to the car management server 200 for a predetermined time to re-send the call signal, if the busy state is repeated more than a certain number of times, the car management apparatus 100 transmits a busy message to the user terminal 20 , To induce confirmation by the user.

When the car management apparatus 100 intends to transmit data to the car management server 200, the car management apparatus 100 transmits a call signal to the car management server 200 to send a call signal to the car management server 200, and then sends the data. Even if the call tone of the reference call tone for the call signal is received, the off-hook state is maintained and the call signal transmission is not stopped. Accordingly, the car management server 200 receives the call signal more than two times the reference call signal number, and is switched to the off-hook state to form a call path and receive data from the car management apparatus 100. Examples of received data include status signals, A / S-related information (such as equipment failure reports and response to equipment failure inquiries), control data (various setting cycles, user authentication data such as user ID and password, user terminal authentication data, and car management). Device authentication data, etc.);

The vehicle management server 200 may check the vehicle management apparatus 100 by checking the presence or absence of a system abnormality by a charging method at a predetermined time interval, and store the result as a record in the data management unit 220.
