It may be characterized by.

The method and system for providing operation information of a vehicle through a communication network according to the present invention does not perform a separate operation from the driver's point of view, but the vehicle state information (for example, position, driving direction, speed, passenger presence in the vehicle) , Cargo loading status, etc.) can be automatically sent to the control server, and also the customer who wants to move to the destination or transport the cargo quickly by using the transportation means It is intended to be provided.

In addition, whether the passenger is in the vehicle state information, such as a space sensor, a heat sensor, a load sensor, a sound sensor, an infrared sensor, etc. are mounted in the vehicle to use the variation amount of data output from the corresponding sensor. You can judge. However, since the type of the detection sensor mounted inside the vehicle does not significantly affect the method of determining whether the passenger is on the board, the attachment position and the quantity of the detection sensor by using the data output from the detection sensor, the detection is described below. The case where the sensor is a load sensor will be described mainly.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram schematically showing an overall system configuration for performing a method for providing operation information of a vehicle through a communication network according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the entire system for performing a method of providing driving information of a vehicle through a communication network includes a GPS satellite 105, an information device 110, a load sensor 115, and a first mobile communication service system 120. The server 130, the customer terminal 140, and the second mobile communication service system 150 may be included.

The GPS satellites 105 are means for providing the user's location information with a GPS receiver. The GPS satellites 105 are provided on four orbital planes having an inclination angle of 55 degrees and an equatorial plane about 2,200 km above the ground. All 24 are floating and have a structure that can transmit and receive at least four satellites and radio waves anywhere in the world.

The informatization device 110 is a device which is generally provided in a vehicle such as a taxi, etc., and receives location information from the GPS satellite 105 using a built-in GPS receiver, and receives location information from a customer or a control server 130. When the request message is received to perform the function of transmitting the location information of the vehicle to the control server 130 or the customer center using a mobile communication network. Of course, in addition to other services, such as electronic payment service, receipt issuance, simultaneous interpretation service, other information providing service, etc. can be performed, but these matters will be omitted as a description thereof.

However, the informatization device 110 according to the present invention, unlike a conventional informatization device, uses data of a predetermined form corresponding to the load value input from the load sensor 115 (for example, by using the load value to the transport means). Result data of whether the passenger is aboard or a tolerance state) may be further transmitted to the control server 130.

The load sensor 115 is mounted on the lower part of each seat, under the vehicle, or the loading space of each seat provided in the vehicle, and calculates and transmits the load value in the predetermined space in the vehicle. do.

For example, when the load sensor is mounted under the vehicle, the load of the vehicle itself is 500 kg and the weight of the driver of the vehicle is approximately 70 kg. When the load value is transmitted to the information device 110, the information device 110 recognizes that the passenger is currently boarding the vehicle and transmits information indicating that the vehicle is full to the control server 130. Of course, when the cargo is loaded in the vehicle, it is natural that the driver of the vehicle may set the default value by adjusting the setting value of the information equipment.

In addition, if each load sensor 115 is mounted at the bottom of each seat of the vehicle, the information apparatus 110 may also determine which seats the passenger is seated using the load value provided from the load sensor 115. Information on whether or not a person boarded may be transmitted to the control server 130.

Of course, various methods may be additionally applied to the method of transmitting information on whether the passenger is on the vehicle to the control center, and some embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the following flowchart. do.

In addition, the sensor (eg, load sensor, space sensor, etc.) according to the present invention may be configured in combination with the information device 110 as a device.

The first mobile communication service system 120 and the second mobile communication service system 150 are systems (eg, SK Telecom, Korea Telecom Freetel, LG Telecom, etc.) that enable wireless mobile communication services. When the terminal 110 and the customer terminal 140 use the same mobile communication service system, one mobile communication service system 120 may be shared.

Of course, the first mobile communication service system 120 capable of transmitting and receiving wireless message data between the information device 110 and the control server 130 may be a system of a service provider that performs both wireless data transmission and reception and voice call service. The system may be a system of a service provider providing only wireless data transmission / reception services.

In addition, depending on the process of transmitting and receiving wireless message data, the property of the data may vary. For example, a wireless message (ie, vehicle status information) in the form of a short message is transmitted between the information device 110 and the first mobile communication service system 120, and the first mobile communication service system 120 and the control server ( Between 130, a wireless message converted into packet data may be transmitted by the first mobile communication service system 120. However, hereinafter, the term wireless message will be collectively referred to regardless of the attribute of the wireless message.

In the case of the second mobile communication service system 150, the customer's location information is transmitted to the control server 130 together with the customer in the process of transmitting the vehicle search request to the control server 130. The second mobile communication service system 150 estimates the location of the customer (ie, the location of the customer terminal 140) based on the base station of the mobile communication service system. There is a method of estimating the location of the customer by using the GPS value based on the coordinates, and if the method of estimating the location of the customer can be applied in the same way without any limitation.

The control server 130 stores the vehicle state of each vehicle by using vehicle state information (for example, vehicle location, passenger aboard, cargo load, etc.) received from the information device 110 mounted in the vehicle. Store and manage in the department, and when the request information for the use of a particular vehicle is received from the customer, and transmits the optimal information corresponding to the customer request (for example, close tolerance information, estimated time of arrival of the vehicle, etc.) It performs the function.

The customer terminal 140 may be any device as long as the device can be connected to the central server 130 through a communication network. Although only a mobile communication terminal is shown in the system configuration diagram shown in FIG. 1, a computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like may be applied in a similar manner.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be briefly described using the system configuration diagram shown in FIG. 1. For convenience of explanation, a case where the commercial vehicle is a taxi will be described as an example.

While the taxi, which is a commercial vehicle, is operating on the road, it is provided in the taxi at a predetermined time interval (for example, at regular time intervals, every time there is a request from the control server 130, etc.). The information device 110 transmits vehicle state information (for example, location information, passengers, cargo load, etc.) to the control server 130 using a mobile communication network. At this time, the vehicle state information is the unique information (for example, serial number, etc.), driver's telephone number information, vehicle for the information equipment to facilitate the control server 130 to determine which vehicle the information is about Some information such as number information and management number information may be included.

The control server 130 uses the vehicle state information (for example, location, direction of travel, passenger aboard, cargo load, etc.) received from the information appliance 110 to determine whether the vehicle is currently running in what state. Can be judged.

Subsequently, when a request for using a vehicle (for example, requesting information on a proximity vehicle in a tolerant state, requesting vehicle information corresponding to a selected fare, requesting a bus arrival time notification of a bus, etc.) is received from any customer terminal 140, Search for information corresponding to the vehicle use request and transmit the retrieved selected vehicle information to the customer terminal 140 through the communication network. In this case, the selected vehicle information transmitted to the customer terminal may include the phone number information of the vehicle driver, vehicle license plate information (for example, Seoul Ma 2777), and the customer may use the corresponding vehicle number information to transmit the selected vehicle information. You can try a phone call with your driver.

It is apparent that the present invention can be used for all commercial vehicles other than the taxi described above. In addition, the present invention can be applied to any method as long as the service can be provided and used between the customer and the supplier using a telephone call or the Internet. Therefore, in the present specification, only as an example for describing the present invention will be described in the case applied to the taxi reservation and bus arrival time notification, this is not intended to limit the present invention.

2A is a flowchart illustrating a method of transmitting vehicle state information from a vehicle to a control center so that the vehicle can manage the vehicle state of the vehicle in the control center according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2A, in step 210, the information information device 110 of the vehicle starts operation by turning on the power. The information appliance 110 may automatically turn on the power as the vehicle is switched to the driving standby state, and the driver may turn on / off the operating state of the information appliance 110. You can also control.

The informational appliance 110 in an operational state receives positional information from the GPS satellites 105 in step 215 and receives a load value received from the load sensor 115 in step 220. As described above, the load sensor 115 may be located at any position as long as it can detect a change in the load value of the vehicle, in addition to a predetermined place such as a lower portion of each seat, a vehicle undercarriage, a cargo loading space, and the like, as described above. Can be mounted. However, depending on whether the load sensor 115 is mounted at which position and how many quantities, it may be determined whether the information on the passenger or the loaded cargo, etc. in the vehicle is detailed.

Of course, if the sensor mounted on the vehicle is another kind, the output value will also be different. For example, when the sensor is a space sensor, if the distance value between the head of each seat or passenger is ceiling, the temperature in the vehicle means the sensor is a heat sensor, and the sensor is a sound sensor. If the sound value of the passenger boarding or getting off the vehicle is the infrared sensor, the result value as to whether or not the passenger is seated in each seat will be an output value. However, the method of determining whether or not the passenger is aboard in each sensor can be easily inferred, description thereof will be omitted.

In operation 225, the informatization device 110 checks whether the current time point is time to transmit vehicle state information (for example, location information, full vehicle information, cargo load information, etc.) to the control server 130 through the mobile communication network. do. The vehicle state information may be transmitted regularly at a predetermined time point, or may be transmitted only at a time point when a vehicle information report request is received from the control server 130 or include both cases described above. In addition, a predetermined command is included in the vehicle information report request transmitted from the control server 130 to the information device 110, so that an operation corresponding to the command may be automatically performed by the information device 110. have.

As a result of the inspection of step 225, if the current time point is a predetermined time point for transmitting the vehicle state information, the flow proceeds to step 230. If not, however, the flow proceeds to step 215 again.

The informatization device 110 includes the location information (received through step 215) and the load value information (received through step 220) in the predetermined wireless message format in step 230, proceeding to step 235, and generated in step 230 The wireless message is transmitted to the control server 130 through the mobile communication network.

In this case, although the load value information itself received through step 220 may be included in the wireless message generated through step 230, it is preferable to include information on whether the vehicle is full, recognized through the load value information.

For example, when the load sensor is mounted on the lower part of the vehicle, the weight of the vehicle itself and the driver is set to a default value in advance, and then the load of the entire vehicle is increased by a certain amount or more later (that is, an error value or more). Increased) and includes information corresponding to "passenger boarding" in the wireless message by recognizing that the passenger has boarded the vehicle.

In addition, if each load sensor 115 is mounted under each seat of the vehicle, information corresponding to "one front seat and two rear seats" may be included in the wireless message.

In addition, when the transport means is a courier service vehicle or the like, when the load information transmitted is used, it is recognized as a free space as much as the load remaining in the total loadable load, and if the transport volume for the free space exists, the corresponding transport quantity is the transport means. You can also make this transport.

However, according to the method illustrated in FIG. 2A, in the case of a vehicle driving on a smooth road or a vehicle driving on a highway (that is, when there is no change in a customer's boarding situation), unnecessary wireless message transmission is prevented. Can be made, resulting in unnecessary costs. However, this problem can be solved by using the following method.

2B is a flowchart illustrating a method of transmitting vehicle state information to a control center in a vehicle so that the vehicle can manage the vehicle state of the vehicle in the control center according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2B, in step 250, the information information device 110 of the vehicle starts operation by turning on the power. The information appliance 110 may automatically turn on the power as the vehicle is switched to the driving standby state, and the driver may turn on / off the operating state of the information appliance 110. You can also control.

The informatization device 110 in operation receives position information from the GPS satellite 105 in step 255 and is provided with a load value received from the load sensor 115 in step 260.

Thereafter, in step 265, the informatization device 110 checks whether the vehicle has been re-run after a certain time (eg, a time suitable for a passenger to get on or off). The reason why the information appliance 110 checks whether or not the vehicle has restarted after the vehicle is stopped in step 265 is because the passenger situation in the vehicle will remain unchanged if the vehicle is continuously in a running state.

As a result of the inspection of step 265, if the vehicle is re-run after stopping for a certain time, the process proceeds to step 270; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 255. do.

In step 270, the information appliance 110 determines whether the load value flowing from the load sensor 115 has changed by more than the error value (for example, 5% of the total load) compared with the load value before the vehicle stops. Check it. For example, if the total load before stopping of the vehicle was 750 kg and then decreased to 570 kg when re-run after stopping, the information appliance 110 may recognize that the passenger (or cargo) boarding the vehicle has got off. Can be. Of course, in the opposite case, it may be recognized that a new passenger (or cargo) is on board, and more detailed vehicle state information may be recognized according to the mounting position or the mounting quantity of the load sensor 115. In this case, the basic load value reflecting the weight of the vehicle and the weight of the driver may be set by the driver.

If the result of the inspection in step 270 is that the load value of the vehicle has changed by more than the error value, the process proceeds to step 275. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step 255.

The informatization device 110 includes the location information (received through step 255) and the load value information (received through step 260) in the predetermined wireless message format in step 275, proceeding to step 280, and generated in step 275. The wireless message is transmitted to the control server 130 through the mobile communication network.

Of course, the information appliance 110 may transmit the corresponding information to the control server 130 when the vehicle status report request received from the control server 130 is received. In addition, the step of checking whether or not the load value is greater than the error value performed in step 270 may be omitted, and may further include a step of checking whether or not the load value change is instantaneous due to uneven road. .

3 is a diagram illustrating a DB table structure for storing information received from an information device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a DB table structure for storing and managing vehicle status information includes a column name as "column ID: DNUM", "column ID: PWORD", "taxi". Location (column ID: DLOCATION) "," column ID: GRADE "," vehicle status information registration time (column ID: DTIME) "," column ID: DPASSENGER ", and the like.

The "taxi operator mobile number (column ID: DNUM)" is information input and transmitted by the driver at the start of the operation of the information appliance 110, or previously designated to correspond to the operating time zone of the vehicle in the driver management table prepared in advance. It may be the phone number information of the driver.

"Column ID (PWORD)" may be password information required to change the "column ID (column ID: DNUM)", or to change the settings of the information appliance 110.

A "column ID (DLOCATION)" is an item for storing and managing the location information of the vehicle, which is received from the GPS satellite 105 and received from the information appliance 110 through the mobile communication network.

Taxi grade GRADE is an item for receiving and managing service grade information transmitted from the customer terminal 140 of the customer using the transportation means. In this case, the customer may designate the service level of the vehicle driver as one of predetermined grades and transmit the same to the control server 130.

&Quot; Column ID: DTIME " manages information on when the information described in the vehicle status information table is updated (i.e., when vehicle status information is received from the information appliance 110). Items to do

"Column ID: DPASSENGER" is an item for indicating whether a passenger is currently boarding the vehicle that transmitted the vehicle status information. Whether the passenger is aboard the vehicle can be determined by the information appliance 110 or the control server 130 through a change in the load of the entire vehicle or a specific space.

As described above, the control server 130 according to the present invention uses the vehicle state information received through the mobile communication network from the information device 110 provided in the vehicle, and the vehicle moves through any direction at any position. It is possible to recognize and manage the remote location whether the passengers (or cargoes) are in the vehicle (or loaded).

4 is a flowchart illustrating a step of inquiring a vehicle for a passenger to board a vehicle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a DB for storing information received from a passenger according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a diagram illustrating a table structure, and FIG. 6 is an exemplary view of a screen display showing a step of inquiring a vehicle by a passenger according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In describing the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 4, an example diagram of the DB table structure of FIG. 5 and the screen display of FIG. 6 will be described together for convenience of understanding.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step 410, the control server 130 receives a connection request from the customer terminal 140. The customer terminal 140 may access the control server 130 through the mobile communication service system. Step 410 is a step in which the customer accesses the control server using the customer terminal 140, and is the same as the screen 610 shown in FIG. 6.

In step 420, the control server 130 transmits a customer password input request to the customer terminal 140, and the customer password (for example, social security number, mobile terminal number, second number entered by the customer in step 430) Password provided from the mobile communication service system).

Steps 420 and 430 are steps of accessing the control server 130 using the customer terminal and inputting a customer password at the request of the central server, as shown in screen 620 of FIG. 6. In the connection process between the customer terminal 140 and the control server 130, the phone number of the customer terminal 140 may be transmitted from the second mobile communication service system 150 to the control server 130.

In step 440, the control server 130 uses the customer access information including the customer password (that is, password) received through step 430 and the telephone number of the customer terminal connected to the customer, the operation information of the transportation means through the communication network Check whether the customer can use the provided system.

Validation of step 440 between the control server 130 and the second mobile communication service system 150 is performed by the customer cell number (column ID: PNUM) and PASSWORD (column ID: PWORD) items in the DB table shown in FIG. Is performed using

That is, the control server 130 transmits the customer terminal phone number and the password received from the customer to the second mobile communication service system 150. The second mobile communication service system 150 having received the customer terminal phone number and the password checks its own database and validates it. If the result of the check is valid, the control server 130 is given a right to query the location of the customer.

If the result of the check in step 440 is that the customer access information is not valid, go to step 450 and the password is incorrect. Please input again "error message to the customer terminal 140, and proceeds to step 420 again.

Further, if the access information of the customer is valid as a result of the check in step 440, the flow proceeds to step 460.

Of course, the steps 420 to 450 are applied when the service information providing service of the means of transport through the communication network according to the present invention consists of a membership system, and does not require a separate membership registration procedure to use the service. If it is sufficient to connect to the control server 130 through the step 420 to step 450 may be omitted. However, even in this case, the second mobile communication service system 150 includes transmitting the location information according to the request for providing the location information of the customer terminal 140 from the control server 130 to the control server 130.

In step 460, the central server transmits at least one selection item selectable by the customer to the customer terminal, and receives selection information about the specific item from the customer terminal.

Step 460 is a step in which the control server 130 transmits a plurality of selection items that the customer can select for use of the service information providing service of the vehicle through the communication network according to the present invention, FIG. 6. Same as the screens 630 to 645 shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6, in this case, the customer first selects a 'find taxi' item (screen 630) and then selects a 'call taxi' item (screen 640). In addition, the control server 130, as shown in the screen 645, the request to select whether the customer wants only the tolerance, or even if the customer wants to arrive at the destination as soon as possible, corresponding to the 'call taxi' item.

Referring back to FIG. 4, in step 470, the control server 130 checks whether a taxi inquiry request is received from the customer terminal. This means that the control server 130 checks whether the customer receives "1. YES" selection information on the screen 650 of FIG.

As a result of the inspection of step 470, if the customer requests a taxi inquiry, the control server 130 proceeds to step 480 to search for a list of available taxis stored in the storage device and transmits the list to the customer terminal 140. If so, the step ends.

If the customer requests a taxi inquiry, the control server 130 uses the 'PNUM' column included in the DB table structure of FIG. 5 to locate the customer's location information (ie, base station, And location information estimated by a GPS system, etc.), and the driver's location information is stored in the 'PLOCATION' column included in the DB table structure of FIG. 5.

Then, the 'DLOCATION' column included in the vehicle state information table (see FIG. 3) which is already stored is compared using the 'PLOCATION' column stored corresponding to the corresponding customer.

Then, the taxi driver list (ie, the tolerance list or the taxi list available as a shareable state) near the current location of the customer is transmitted to the customer terminal.

The state in which the list of available taxis is displayed on the display unit of the customer terminal by the above method is the same as the screen 660 of FIG. 6.

The list of available taxis displayed on the display unit of the customer terminal 140 may be displayed, for example, in the form of '016-386-4017 [9]', of which '016-386-4017' is a taxi. It means the driver's phone number, '[9]' means the reliability or customer satisfaction of the taxi driver.

In other words, the number displayed in the form of [9] is the average of the numbers entered by the customers using the taxi to evaluate the taxi driver. You can choose a taxi driver.

In addition, the phone numbers displayed on the list of available taxis displayed on the screen 660 may be applied to a color distinguished by a taxi that can be tolerated and a taxi that can be shared.

6 is limited to a vehicle having a tolerance state and a vehicle having a free space that can be shared as a condition that the customer can select, but various selection items may be added.

For example, if a particular customer located in a certain area (eg Yeongdeungpo station) selects a destination (eg Korea University) and a transportation cost (eg 800 won), the control server 130 It searches for a vehicle (for example, bus 30) capable of transporting the customer at the selected transportation cost from the customer's location to the corresponding destination and transmits it to the customer terminal.

In addition, in FIG. 4, telephone number information, location information, selection information, etc. of the customer are sequentially transmitted from the mobile communication service system to the control server 130, but such information is simultaneously controlled. Of course it can be sent to.

Hereinafter, although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the steps that can be performed later will be described.

The customer may request a phone call by selecting a specific phone number from at least one taxi driver's phone number displayed on the customer terminal.

In this case, the telephone call can be requested by inputting the numbers of the telephone numbers displayed on the customer terminal display. Alternatively, the taxi driver's telephone number includes the identification number '1. 016-386-4017 [9] ', the telephone number can be requested by inputting the corresponding identification number (ie, 1). In addition, in the case of a terminal supporting a navigation function using a scroll bar, 'taxi selection-calling' can be performed with a simple key operation.

In addition, the information of the vehicle may not be displayed as text only as shown in FIG. 6, but the position and the telephone number of the vehicle may be displayed together on a map image that may be displayed on the display unit of the customer terminal 140. Even in this case, if the telephone number and the number on the key button are linked, the telephone call can be attempted using only the identification number even if the telephone number is not entered. In this case, as described above, the vehicle and the vehicle that can be shared with each other may be divided into designated colors so that the customer can easily receive the desired service.

So far, the control server 130 has been described how to manage the customer's location information and the status information of the vehicle in order to enable the customer to use a particular means of transportation (mainly taxi). However, in addition to the methods described above, the present invention can be further used for further various purposes, some of which will be described below.

First, the present invention can be applied to a carpool system.

For example, if a driver who wants a carpool is provided with an information device 110 and a load sensor 115 (or any sensing sensor) according to the present invention in his vehicle, then the control server 130 may drive the carpool. The number of passengers will be able to board and recognize where the vehicle is located.

Subsequently, when the boarding desireee who wants the carpool transmits a search request of the carpool vehicle (for example, the departure place and destination information of the corresponding boarding candidate) may be transmitted to the control server 130, the control server 130 searches. The carpool vehicle information corresponding to the request (for example, a carpool vehicle having a tolerance state, a carpool vehicle having a boarding space, etc.) is retrieved and transmitted to the user terminal of the passenger who wants to ride.

The passenger who wishes to board the vehicle selects the desired driver information from among the plurality of driver information displayed on the terminal display unit, and attempts to make a phone call.

Next, the present invention can be applied to the bus arrival time notification service.

For example, if a passenger wishing to be located at a specific bus stop wants to know the arrival time of a specific bus, the bus arrival time request information (for example, bus number and direction information) is transmitted to the control server 130 through a communication network. Control unit 130, the control server 130 proceeds in the direction of travel, and indicates which location the bus (for example, airport limousine bus, bus 100) closest to the position of the boarding candidate is currently located. After recognizing, the arrival time information may be transmitted to the user terminal of the passenger who wishes to board. Even in this case, the information equipment 110 according to the present invention should be mounted in the bus.

In addition, the user terminal of the passenger who wishes to board the text information form (for example, bus No. 100-current location: Gangnam station, scheduled to arrive in Yeoksam station after about 5 minutes), as well as estimated time of arrival on the map image displayed on the user terminal Together, the location information of the bus can be displayed together.

In addition, the present invention can be applied to a rapid processing method and system in the event of a vehicle accident.

For example, when a part of a vehicle is damaged by a crash, not a contact accident, the weight of the whole vehicle suddenly fluctuates above the error value, or the passenger suddenly flocks to a part and the weight of a certain part suddenly fluctuates above the error value. In this case, the information appliance 110 transmits the corresponding information to the control server 130. At this time, the control server 130 may recognize that an accident has occurred in the transportation means and may perform a quick accident treatment.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, the method and system for providing operation information of a vehicle through a communication network according to the present invention directly connects a commercial vehicle with a passenger who wants to board or a cargo owner who wants to load a vehicle, thereby boarding or loading a passenger or cargo within the shortest time. In addition, the driver of the commercial vehicle can minimize the tolerance ratio.

In addition, the present invention can actively respond to the needs of customers who want to board or cargo transport using the operation information such as location information, passenger boarding, etc. received in real time from a plurality of commercial vehicles in the control center.

In addition, the present invention can be applied to a logistics transport system, quick service, meeting arrangement, etc., which enables a direct telephone call between a customer and a driver using a communication network.
