9. The vehicle communication device of claim 8, wherein the vehicle state information includes power on/off information of a car audio device installed in a vehicle.

10. The vehicle communication device of claim 8, wherein the setting of the user terminal, having received the terminal setting information, is changed according to the terminal setting information.

11. The vehicle communication device of claim 10, wherein the terminal setting information includes one or more setting information including a bell setting, a vibration setting, a silent setting, a Text to Speech (TTS) setting, an automatic reception setting, and a Bluetooth device search setting.

12. A system for changing a user terminal setting by using a push message, the system comprising:

a vehicle communication device configured to map at least one vehicle mode information to terminal identification information of the user terminal, to which a message is transmitted, and each vehicle information, including vehicle state information or operation information, store the mapped information, and transmit a generated transmission message including at least one vehicle mode information mapped to collected vehicle information and the stored terminal identification information;

a push message server configured to receive the transmission message from the vehicle communication device, generate a push message through the vehicle mode information included in the transmission message, and transmit the generated push message to the user terminal corresponding to the stored terminal identification information; and

the user terminal configured to receive the push message from the push message server and change a setting according to the terminal setting information mapped to the vehicle mode information included in the push message.

13. A system for changing a user terminal setting by using a push message, the system comprising:

a vehicle communication device configured to map at least one terminal setting information, related to a setting of the user terminal, to terminal identification information of the user terminal, to which a message is transmitted and each vehicle information, including vehicle state information or operation information, store the mapped information, and transmit a generated transmission message including at least one vehicle mode information mapped to collected vehicle information and the stored terminal identification information;

a push message server configured to receive the transmission message from the vehicle communication device, generate a push message through the vehicle mode information included in the transmission message, and transmit the generated push message to the user terminal corresponding to the stored terminal identification information; and
