Abstract

Provided is an integrated telematics service system that may operate as an essential network interoperating gateway in a smart vehicle appropriate for a ubiquitous environment, and that includes: a network interface unit that receives a user input to process the user input based on an ontology modeling for the integrated telematics service, and interoperates with an external network of the smart vehicle; a knowledge based management unit that interoperates with the network interface unit to manage a policy and a schedule for a telematics service, an event occurring in the smart vehicle, and a schedule of a user; and a service unit that converts information associated with a navigation service or a multimedia service to a form suitable for an internal device of the smart vehicle, to perform a one-source-multi-use function.

Claims

1. A system for an integrated telematics service, wherein the system operates as an essential network interoperating gateway in a smart vehicle appropriate for a ubiquitous environment, and the system comprises:

a network interface unit that receives a user input to process the user input based on an ontology modeling for the integrated telematics service, and interoperates with an external network of the smart vehicle;

a knowledge based management unit that interoperates with the network interface unit to manage a policy and a schedule for a telematics service, an event occurring in the smart vehicle, and a schedule of a user; and

a service unit that converts information associated with a navigation service or a multimedia service to a form suitable for an internal device of the smart vehicle, to perform a one-source-multi-use function.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the network interface unit comprises:

a vehicle information interface unit that is connected to an internal network of the smart vehicle to gather and manage vehicle information;

a user interface unit that receives the user input to generate a feedback according to the user input; and

a user network control unit that interoperates with the external network of the smart vehicle.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the knowledge based management unit comprises:

a network management unit that provides a function of interoperating with the network interface unit;

a knowledge based engine that manages the policy and the schedule for the telematics service;

an event management unit that manages the event occurring in the smart vehicle; and

a schedule management unit that manages the schedule and appointments of the user.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the service unit comprises:

a navigation unit that is in charge of the navigation service;

a conversion unit that converts input information; and

a multimedia service unit that performs the one-source-multi-use function.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the navigation unit provides a smart navigation function that includes an information crawling function based on an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the conversion unit converts information, crawled from the external network, to a form that is output in the navigation unit.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the knowledge based management unit is provided in a middleware form.

8. The system of claim 3, wherein the network management unit, the knowledge based engine, the event management unit, and the schedule management unit are provided in a middleware form.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the knowledge based management unit verifies a user profile of the user, stored through a user authentication, to infer a service desired by the user based on the user profile.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the knowledge based management unit crawls information, desired by the user, in real time to provide the user with the crawled information.

13. The system of claim 5, wherein the knowledge based management unit crawls information, desired by the user, in real time to provide the user with the crawled information.

11. A method of controlling an integrated telematics service system, the method comprising:

detecting a mobile device of a vehicle to authenticate a user via the mobile device;

verifying a user profile of the authenticated user;

generating a control signal to control an internal device of the vehicle based on the user profile;

crawling information, desired by the user, in real time according to the control signal to convert the real-time crawled information to a form suitable for the internal device of the vehicle; and

providing the user with the converted information via the internal device of the vehicle.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the generating comprises inferring a service, desired by the user, based on the user profile and a learned behavior pattern of the user.
