Vehicle management system and method using mobile communication terminal
First Claim
1. A vehicle management system, using a mobile communication terminal mounted in a vehicle, which performs radio communication through said mobile communication terminal with a vehicle information requester who desires to know information on the vehicle, said system being comprised of:
- an interface unit for performing the radio communication with said mobile communication terminal;
a driving information sensing unit for sensing the driving speed, the driving distance, the sudden takeoff upon starting and the number of times of driving of the vehicle;
a security information sensing unit for sensing the impact applied from the outside to the vehicle and sound and image signals based on the impact;
a storing and outputting unit for storing the information of the vehicle sensed from said driving information sensing unit and said security information sensing unit and the telephone number of said vehicle information requester and for generating an alarm according to the sensed information of the vehicle; and
a controller for sending, periodically or upon request of said vehicle information requester, the information of the vehicle stored in said storing and outputting unit to said vehicle information requester through said mobile communication terminal, on the basis of the information of the vehicle sensed from said driving information sensing unit and said security information sensing unit.

Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle management system and method that uses a mobile communication terminal mounted in a vehicle capable of sensing and storing the driving and security information for the vehicle and sending the information stored therein to another party through the mobile communication terminal. The vehicle management system includes: a driving information sensing unit for sensing the driving speed, the driving distance, the sudden takeoff upon starting and the number of times of driving of the vehicle; a security information sensing unit for sensing the impacts applied from the outside to the vehicle and sound and image signals based on the impacts; a storing and outputting unit for storing the information of the vehicle sensed from the driving information sensing unit, the security information sensing unit, the telephone number of the vehicle information requester and for generating an alarm according to the sensed information of the vehicle; and a controller for sending, periodically or upon request of the vehicle information requester, the information of the vehicle stored in the storing and outputting unit to the vehicle information requester through the mobile communication terminal, on the basis of the information of the vehicle sensed from the driving information sensing unit and the security information sensing unit.

8. A vehicle management method, using a mobile communication terminal mounted in a vehicle, which performs radio communication through the mobile communication terminal with a vehicle information requester who desires to know information on the vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:
-
setting a reference value for determining whether or not the vehicle is at an abnormal state and the telephone number of said vehicle information requester;
continuously sensing the state of the vehicle and storing the sensed information of the vehicle;
continuously checking whether the sensed information of the vehicle exceeds said reference value;
if the sensed information of the vehicle exceeds said reference value, informing said vehicle information requester of the abnormal state of the vehicle via a speaker and a display; and
calling the telephone number of said vehicle information requester to send the information of the vehicle sensed as the abnormal state. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 13)

11. A vehicle management method, using a mobile communication terminal mounted in a vehicle, which performs radio communication through the mobile communication terminal with a vehicle information requester who desires to know information on the vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:
-
continuously sensing whether vehicle information is requested by said vehicle information requester;
if the vehicle information request is inputted, checking whether the vehicle information requested corresponds to security information or driving information;
if it is checked that the vehicle information requested corresponds to said security information, sensing the physical state of the vehicle;
sending the sensed vehicle security information to said vehicle information requester through said mobile communication terminal;
if it is checked that the vehicle information requested corresponds to said driving information, sensing the driving state of the vehicle; and
sending the sensed vehicle driving information to said vehicle information requester through said mobile communication terminal. - View Dependent Claims (12)
