First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method using an electronic device installed in a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting, by a sensor of the vehicle, a location and motion of the vehicle and generating measurement information indicative of the detected motion;
generating, by a processor of the electronic device, vector data aggregating the detected motion of the vehicle based on the measurement information;
transmitting, by a communication unit of the electronic device, the generated vector data to an external device that;
identifies at least two accident types matching the generated vector data from among a plurality of pre-stored accident types by comparing the generated vector data to a plurality of prestored vector data each associated with at least one of the plurality of prestored accident types,selects a final accident type from among the identified at least two accident types by detecting a match between one of the at least two accident types with the detected location of the vehicle, and retrieves pre-stored dangerous situation information including identification of at least one road hazard pre-associated with the selected final accident type; and
receiving and outputting the retrieved dangerous situation information including notification of the at least one road hazard.

9. A method in an electronic device, comprising:
-
receiving, by a communication unit of the electronic device, vector data transmitted from a portable device disposed within a vehicle; identifying at least two accident types matching the received vector data, from among a plurality of pre-stored accident types by comparison of the received vector data to a plurality of prestored vector data, each associated with at least one of the plurality of prestored accident types; selecting a final accident type from among the identified at least two accident type by detecting a match between one of the identified at least two accident types with the detected location of the vehicle, and retrieving pre-stored dangerous situation information including identification of at least one road hazard pre-associated with the selected final accident type; and transmitting the retrieved pre-stored dangerous situation information to the portable device for notification of the at least one road hazard. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An electronic device in a vehicle, comprising:
-
a sensor; at least one processor; and a communication unit; and a memory including programming instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the electronic device to; detect, by the sensor, motion of the vehicle and generating measurement information indicative of the detected motion; generate vector data aggregating the detected motion of the vehicle based on the measurement information; transmit the generated vector data to an external device that; identifies at least two accident types matching the generated vector data from among a plurality of pre-stored accident types by comparing the generated vector data to a plurality of prestored vector data, each associated with at least one of the plurality of prestored accident types, selects a final accident type from among the identified at least two accident types by detecting a match between one of the identified at least two accident types with the detected location of the vehicle, and retrieves pre-stored dangerous situation information including identification of at least one road hazard pre-associated with the selected final accident type; and receive and output the retrieved dangerous situation information including notification of the at least one road hazard. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a communication unit;
at least one processor; anda memory storing programming instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the electronic device to; receive, by the communication unit of the electronic device, vector data transmitted from a portable device disposed within a vehicle, identify at least two accident types matching the received vector data, from among a plurality of pre-stored accident types by comparison of the received vector data to a plurality of prestored vector data, each associated with at least one of the plurality of prestored accident types; select a final accident type from among the identified at least two accident type by detecting a match between one of the identified at least two accident types with the detected location of the vehicle and retrieve pre-stored dangerous situation information including identification of at least one road hazard pre-associated with the selected final accident type; and transmit the retrieved pre-stored dangerous situation information to the portable device for notification of the at least one road hazard. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
