Abstract

A system for providing a vehicle based communication service includes a communication network configured to support a data communication. A vehicle is configured to support data transmission/reception by accessing to the communication network and support the data communication by forming a high-speed short distance communication channel with at least one of another vehicle and a portable terminal.

Claims

1. A system for providing a vehicle based communication service, the system comprising:

a communication network configured to support a data communication; and

a vehicle configured to support data transmission/reception by accessing to the communication network and support the data communication by forming a high-speed short distance communication channel with at least one of another vehicle and a portable terminal.

2. The system for providing a vehicle based communication service of claim 1, wherein the vehicle and the other vehicle share information on a communication environment state of the high-speed short distance communication channel, and a vehicle having a relatively good condition operates in an access point (AP) mode when the communication environment of a specific vehicle that operates in the AP mode is degraded to the communication environment below a certain condition.

3. The system for providing a vehicle based communication service of claim 1, wherein the vehicle and the other vehicle generate a link for sharing information on a communication environment state of the high-speed short distance communication channel.

4. The system for providing a vehicle based communication service of claim 1, wherein the vehicle and the other vehicle share access key information and telematics manager (TM) information in order to change an AP mode.

5. The system for providing a vehicle based communication service of claim 1, wherein the vehicle forms a wireless mobile communication channel with the communication network or forms the high-speed short distance communication channel.

6. The system for providing a vehicle based communication service of claim 1, wherein the vehicle forms a communication channel based on a blue-tooth 3.0+HS scheme or a short distance communication channel based on a Wi-Fi direct scheme.

7. The system for providing a vehicle based communication service of claim 1, wherein the vehicle performs at least one of data transmission/reception for a video call between the other vehicle and the portable terminal, data transmission/reception for a file streaming service, and data transmission/reception for sharing road guidance information.

8. A method for providing a vehicle based communication service, the method comprising steps of:

forming a data communication channel in a communication network by a specific vehicle;

operating an AP mode by the specific vehicle; and

forming a high-speed short distance communication channel by the specific vehicle with another vehicle.

9. The method for providing a vehicle based communication service of claim 8, further comprising steps of:

sharing information on a communication environment state of the high-speed short distance communication channel by a plurality of vehicles; and

operating the AP mode by a relatively good vehicle when a communication environment of the specific vehicle that operates in the AP mode is degraded to the communication environment below a reference condition.

10. The method of claims 9, wherein the step of sharing the information on the communication environment state comprises generating a link for sharing the information on the communication environment state of the high-speed short distance communication channel.

11. The method of claims 9, wherein the step of sharing the information on the communication environment state comprises sharing access key information and telematics manager (TM) information in order to change the AP mode.

12. A vehicle supporting a communication service, the vehicle comprising:

a high-speed short distance communicator configured to form a data communication channel in a communication network; and

a controller configured to form a high-speed short distance communication channel with at least one of another vehicle and a portable terminal by operating an AP mode based on the high-speed short distance communicator.

13. The vehicle supporting a communication service of claim 12, wherein the controller shares information on a communication environment state of other vehicles and requests an operation of the AP mode to a vehicle with a relatively good condition when the communication environment state of the vehicle is lower than a reference value.

14. The vehicle supporting a communication service of claim 12, further comprising a camera to collect video to be transmitted to the other vehicle or the portable terminal in order to support a video call service.

15. The vehicle supporting a communication service of claim 12, further comprising a data communicator to access to an internet network in order to support an internet service of at least one among the vehicle, the other vehicle, and the portable terminal.

16. The vehicle supporting a communication service of claim 12, further comprising:

a storage to store at least one file, wherein

the controller controls to transmit the file stored in the storage to at least one of the other vehicle and the portable terminal in a streaming service type by using the high-speed short distance communication channel.
