1. An on-board unit (OBU) coupled to an integrated starter generator (ISG), the ISG used for controlling an engine, and the OBU comprises:

  • a communication unit used for receiving a control signal from a mobile device; and

    a processing unit coupled to the communication unit for setting a setting state of the ISG according to the control signal, wherein the setting state is a start unallowable state or a start allowable state;

    wherein, when the setting state is the start unallowable state, the ISG forbids the engine to be started;

    wherein, when the setting state is the start allowable state, the ISG allows the engine to be started with a physical key;

    wherein, the control signal generates the setting state according to a start counter value;

    when the start counter value is larger than a predetermined value, the setting state is set to the start allowable state;

    when the engine is started, the start counter value is decreased by a difference value by a management server which is connected in communication with the mobile device;

    when the start counter value is not larger than the predetermined value, the setting state is set to the start unallowable state.
