SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANAGING VEHICLE AND DRIVER INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method of managing vehicle and driver information, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of internal status information and external environment information of a vehicle, and driver'"'"'s behavior information, collected by an information collecting unit;
storing the plural pieces of information by applying a driver'"'"'s behavior model and a behavior rule previously stored in the received internal status information and external environment information of a vehicle, and the driver'"'"'s behavior information;
transmitting the stored information to an observation center and calculating driver'"'"'s workload on the basis of the stored information; and
estimating and managing situation information of the driver and the vehicle on the basis of the calculated driver'"'"'s workload.

Abstract
The present invention relates a system and method of managing vehicle and driver information. According to the present invention, internal status information and external environment information of a vehicle, and a driver'"'"'s behavior information, are gathered to calculate the driver'"'"'s workload that is required for careful driving and inform the workload to the driver, which leads to careful driving. Further, the information input to the terminal is sent to an observation center without manual control of the driver so that the observation center can collect and store the information in real time. Furthermore, the driving history, driving habits of the driver, and the amount of consumed fuel can be provided through the terminal and the driver access to the server in the observation center, which improves the driving habits of the driver and provides information about economical driving.

10. A system of managing vehicle and driver information, comprising:
-
an information filtering module that calculates information having a predetermined characteristic among a plurality of internal status information and external environment information of a vehicle, and driver'"'"'s behavior information collected by an information collecting unit; an information storing module that stores the calculated information; a driver'"'"'s workload calculating module that calculates driver'"'"'s workload using the stored information; a situation information estimating module that compares the calculated driver'"'"'s workload with the value of numerically calculated driver'"'"'s behavior information to provide the driver'"'"'s situation information and compares the vehicle external environment information with the numerically calculated value to estimate the driver attention information; and a driver attention information supply module that receives the estimated driver attention information to display to the driver. - View Dependent Claims (12)

11. A system of managing vehicle and driver information, comprising:
-
a terminal information managing module that receives internal status information and external environment information of a vehicle, and driver'"'"'s behavior information, collected by an information collecting unit and transmitted from a terminal; an information storing module that stores the received vehicle internal status information, the vehicle external environment, and driver'"'"'s behavior information; a driving rule creating module that creates and updates the driver'"'"'s driving tendency and a driving rule on the basis of the information stored in the information storing module; a driver'"'"'s behavior model creating module that calculates a driving pattern that influences a driver'"'"'s workload on the basis of the information stored in the information storing module and creates the driver'"'"'s behavior model on the basis of the driving pattern; and a management information supply module that extracts the driver'"'"'s driving tendency information requested by the driver to display to the driver.
