Description

스마트폰과 드라이브폰의 연동 방법 및 그 시스템Interworking method and system of smartphone and drive phone
본 발명은 운전 중의 운전자의 전화 통화에 관한 것이며, 특히 운전자의 휴대폰과 차량에 설치된 무선모뎀과 연동하는 방법 및 시스템에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a driver's phone call while driving, and more particularly, to a method and system for interworking with a driver's mobile phone and a wireless modem installed in a vehicle.
자동차와 휴대폰이 보편적인 생활필수품이 된 현대사회에서 자동차를 보유한 사람은 휴대폰도 보유하고 있다고 간주할 수 있다. 한편, 오늘날 자동차에 설치된 통신기능이 부여된 단말기가 널리 이용되고 있다. 대표적으로 “내비게이션 장치”가 있다. 이런 단말기는 디스플레이 장치를 가지고 있으며, 이를 통해서 비디오를 시청하기도 한다. In modern society, where cars and mobile phones have become common necessities of life, a person with a car can be regarded as having a mobile phone. On the other hand, terminals provided with communication functions installed in automobiles are widely used today. Typically there is a navigation device. Such a terminal has a display device, through which video can be viewed.
운전 중 사고의 상당수는 운전자의 부주의 때문이다. 그 중에서도 운전 중 전화통화가 부주의의 가장 큰 요인으로 지적돼 왔다. 국가는 법규를 제정하여 운전 중 전화통화를 규제하고 있으며, 사회적 캠페인이 진행돼 왔다. 기술적으로 이를 해결하기 위한 시도로서 가장 널리 이용되는 것으로 핸즈프리(Hands-Free) 장치가 있다. 최근의 핸즈프리 장치는 편리한 사용자 인터페이스를 위해서 블루투스 근거리 통신 모듈이 장착된 것으로 보편화되어 있다.Many of the accidents while driving are due to the carelessness of the driver. Among them, telephone calls while driving have been pointed out as the biggest factor of carelessness. The state has enacted legislation to regulate phone calls while driving, and social campaigns have been under way. Technically, the most widely used attempts to solve this problem are hands-free devices. Recent hands-free devices are commonly equipped with Bluetooth near field communication modules for convenient user interfaces.
그런데 휴대폰이 피처폰에서 스마트폰으로 바뀜에 따라서 핸즈프리 장치의 사용이 현저히 떨어지는 예기치 못한 문제가 발생했다. 스마트폰은 다양한 콘텐츠의 이용이 가능하다는 장점 때문에, 반드시 전화통화가 아니더라도 문자메시지를 보거나 화면을 통해서 영상을 보거나 스마트폰으로 다른 콘텐츠를 보는 등의 문제가 발생한 것이다. 핸즈프리와 같은 음원 위주의 보조장치로서는 스마트폰에 대응하기 어렵다는 문제점이었다. 전화통화를 하지는 않지만 스마트폰의 디스플레이 화면을 보는 것 또한 운전자 부주의를 일으키는 요인이 된다. 더욱이 이 경우 교통법규 위반을 판단하기 어렵다는 문제점도 있다.However, as mobile phones changed from feature phones to smartphones, there was an unexpected problem that the use of hands-free devices dropped significantly. Smartphones have the advantage of using a variety of content, even if it is not necessarily a phone call, such as seeing a text message, watching the video through the screen, or other content on the smartphone has occurred. As a sound source-oriented auxiliary device such as hands-free, it was difficult to cope with a smartphone. While not making a phone call, watching the smartphone's display screen also causes inattention to the driver. Moreover, in this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to judge the violation of traffic laws.

먼저 드라이브폰에 스마트폰을 설정한다(S201). 바람직하게는 스마트폰에 부여된 고유코드번호를 드라이브폰이 내장된 장치의 입력기를 이용하여 드라이브폰에 입력시킬 수 있다. First, the smartphone is set in the drive phone (S201). Preferably, the unique code number given to the smart phone can be input to the drive phone by using the input device of the device with the built-in drive phone.
특정 이동단말기에 부여된 고유코드번호를 다른 이동단말기에 복제하여 동일전화번호를 사용하는 기술은 널리 공지되어 있다. 그러나 이런 기술은 범죄에 악용될 수 있어서 일반적으로 법률에 의해 규제받게 된다. 따라서 본 발명의 본 실시예에서는 해당 연동통화운용 서비스에 가입된 회원에 한하여 입력할 수 있도록 본인인증절차를 선행할 수 있다. 본인인증절차는 다양하게 변형될 수 있다. 어떤 경우에는 자동차보험 가입 시 연동전화번호를 기재하여 자동으로 등록되도록 할 수도 있다. 이와 같은 본인인증 후에, 드라이브폰의 유·무선연결부에 스마트폰을 유선 연결하거나 블루투스 등의 근거리 무선 통신 방법으로 스마트폰에 부여된 전화번호를 드라이브폰에 입력하도록 할 수도 있다. The technology of using the same telephone number by replicating a unique code number assigned to a specific mobile terminal to another mobile terminal is well known. However, these techniques can be abused for crime and are generally regulated by law. Therefore, in the present embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to precede the authentication process so that only members who have subscribed to the linked call operation service can be input. The identity verification process can be modified in many ways. In some cases, it can be registered automatically by entering the interlocking phone number when registering for auto insurance. After such authentication, the smart phone may be connected to the wired / wireless connection part of the drive phone or the phone number assigned to the smart phone may be input to the drive phone through a short range wireless communication method such as Bluetooth.
본 발명에 따르면 운전자가 차량에 탑승하여 차량의 시동을 켜면, 이제부터 운전자의 스마트폰을 드라이브폰으로 바이패스하도록 한다. 운전자의 차량 시동이 개시되면 전원부를 통해 동작 전원이 공급되게 되고, 드라이브폰에서는 거리계측부를 통해 동일한 번호의 스마트폰과의 거리를 계측한다(S202). 거리계측은 드라이브폰에 내장된 센서를 이용할 수 있다. 또한 다른 실시예에서는 소프트웨어 방법으로 거리계측을 수행할 수 있다. According to the present invention, when the driver boards the vehicle and starts the vehicle, the driver's smartphone is bypassed from the driver's smartphone. When the driver starts the vehicle, operating power is supplied through the power supply unit, and the drive phone measures the distance from the smartphone with the same number through the distance measurement unit (S202). Distance measurement can use a sensor built into the drive phone. In another embodiment, the distance measurement may be performed by a software method.
다음으로 드라이브폰의 제어부는 상기 S202단계에서의 데이터를 이용하여 설정된 스마트폰을 소유한 자가 운전 중임을 판단한다(S203). 즉, 제어부는 계측된 스마트폰과 드라이브폰 사이의 거리에 근거하여 운전 중인지를 판단한다. Next, the control unit of the drive phone determines that the owner of the smart phone is set up by using the data in the step S202 (S203). That is, the controller determines whether the driver is driving based on the measured distance between the smartphone and the drive phone.
상기 S203 단계에서 설정된 스마트폰 소유자가 운전 중인 경우에는, 즉, 스마트폰과 드라이브폰 사이의 계측된 거리가 미리 설정한 거리 내에 있으면 해당 스마트폰의 소지자가 운전중인 상태로 판단하여, 드라이브폰의 제어부는 스마트폰을 바이패스하여 자기와 통신이 이루어지도록 한다(S204). 요컨대 스마트폰의 통화를 무력화시켜 사용하지 통화 및 데이터 통신을 차단하는 것이며, 이후의 스마트폰의 통화 및 데이터 통신은 드라이브폰으로만 가능하도록 운용한다(S205).If the owner of the smartphone set in step S203 is driving, that is, if the measured distance between the smartphone and the drive phone is within a preset distance, the owner of the smartphone is determined to be in operation, and the controller of the drive phone Bypasses the smartphone to communicate with the self (S204). In other words, by disabling the call of the smart phone to block the communication and data communication not used, the subsequent call and data communication of the smart phone is operated only to the drive phone (S205).
S203 단계에서 계측된 거리가 설정거리 밖에 있으면 사용자가 현재 운전상태가 아니라고 판단하여, 제어부는 드라이브폰의 통신을 차단한다(S206). 보통의 경우처럼 사용자는 스마트폰로만 통신할 수 있게 된다(S207). If the distance measured in step S203 is outside the set distance, it is determined that the user is not in the current driving state, and the control unit blocks the communication of the drive phone (S206). As usual, the user can communicate only with the smartphone (S207).
본 실시예에서는, 드라이브폰을 주체로 하여 설명하였지만, 이와 반대로 스마트폰에서 드라이브폰과의 거리를 계측하여 계측된 거리에 따라 사용자가 운전상태인지를 판단하고, 운전 중으로 판단되면 드라이브폰으로만 통신이 행해지도록 운용할 수도 있다. 혹은, 스마트폰과 드라이브폰 각각에서 상호 거리를 계측하여 운전 중인지를 판단하고, 판단결과에 따라 각자 통화가능 혹은 통화불능 상태 설정의 통화 운용을 결정할 수도 있다.In the present embodiment, the drive phone is mainly described, but on the contrary, by measuring the distance from the smart phone to the drive phone, it is determined whether the user is in a driving state according to the measured distance, and if it is determined that the driver is communicating with the drive phone only. It can also be operated to do this. Alternatively, the distance between the smart phone and the drive phone may be measured to determine whether the driver is operating the vehicle, and the call operation may be determined based on the result of the determination.
도 3은 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 의해 행해지는 프로세스를 개략적으로 나타낸다. 현재 이동전화 가입 시에 스마트폰에 하나의 가입자 전화번호가 링크된 채로 가입 이동통신사 교환국에 등록되며, 스마트폰의 전원이 온(on)되면 그 즉시 이동전화 단말기 측에서 이동통신사 교환국에 설정한 주기마다 자기의 존재를 보고하여 현재 위치를 등록시킨다. 이러한 위치등록을 이용하면 이동통신사의 교환기 (또는 기지국)이 주체가 되어 본 발명의 통신 운용을 수행할 수 있다. 3 schematically illustrates a process performed by another embodiment of the present invention. At the time of joining the mobile phone, one subscriber's phone number is linked to the smartphone and registered with the subscriber carrier's switching center.When the smartphone is turned on, the mobile phone terminal sets the period to the carrier's switching center immediately. Each time, he reports his presence and registers his current location. Using this location registration, the exchange (or base station) of the mobile telecommunication company can be the subject to perform the communication operation of the present invention.
먼저, 드라이브폰에 스마트폰을 설정한다(S301). 이 단계에서 스마트폰과 드라이브폰에 동일 전화번호를 부여하게 된다. 이동통신사의 교환국에는 두 단말기에 동일한 전화번호가 부여되었음이 등록될 것을 전제로 한다. 이동통신사의 교환기(또는 기지국)는 거리계측시스템에 의해 동일한 전화번호가 부여된 스마트폰과 드라이브폰의 위치를 파악하여 파악된 두 전화 단말기 간의 거리를 계측한다(S302). First, the smartphone is set in the drive phone (S301). In this step, the same phone number is assigned to the smartphone and the drive phone. It is assumed that the switching center of the mobile communication company is registered that the same telephone number is assigned to both terminals. The exchange (or base station) of the mobile communication company measures the distance between the two phone terminals identified by grasping the positions of the smartphone and the drive phone to which the same phone number is assigned by the distance measurement system (S302).
다음으로 이동통신사의 시스템은 계측된 거리에 근거하여 운전 중인지를 판단한다(S303). 이동통신사의 시스템은 두 전화 단말기 간의 거리가 미리 설정된 범위 내에 있으면 사용자가 운전 중인 상태로 판단하고, 설정범위 밖에 있으면 사용자가 운전석이 아닌 다른 좌석에 탑승한 상태로 판단할 수 있다. Next, the system of the mobile communication company determines whether it is operating based on the measured distance (S303). The system of the mobile communication company may determine that the user is in a driving state when the distance between the two telephone terminals is within a preset range, and may determine that the user is in a seat other than the driver's seat when the distance between the two telephone terminals is within the preset range.
상기 S303 단계에서 운전 중으로 판단되면 이동통신사의 교환기(또는 기지국)은 드라이브폰에만 통화채널을 할당한다(S304). 상기 S303 단계에서 운전 중이 아님으로 판단되면, 스마트폰에만 통화채널을 할당하여 두 전화 단말기 중 하나만 사용이 가능하도록 연동 통화 운용한다.If it is determined in operation S303 that the operation is in progress, the switchboard (or base station) of the mobile communication service provider allocates a call channel only to the drive phone (S304). If it is determined that the driving is not in step S303, the call channel is assigned only to the smartphone to operate the interlocked call so that only one of the two phone terminals can be used.
