Method and apparatus for transmitting vehicle accident information based on interaction between devices and method and vehicle accident information collection apparatus
First Claim
1. A method for collecting, by a vehicle accident information collection apparatus, vehicle accident information, the method comprising:
- receiving vehicle accident information comprising impact detection time information and impact detection location information from vehicle communication terminals;
determining whether a vehicle accident has occurred in response to the impact detection time information received from the vehicle communication terminals being similar to each other within a time threshold and the impact detection location information received from the vehicle communication terminals being similar to each other within a location threshold;
requesting a vehicle communication terminal of the vehicle communication terminals to send accident information to the vehicle accident information collection apparatus, in response to determining that the vehicle accident occurred;
receiving encrypted image data related to the vehicle accident from the vehicle communication terminal in response to the request; and
decoding the received image data and storing the decoded image data along with the vehicle accident information.
