Abstract

A system and a method for a firmware update of a vehicle, wherein the system includes a telematics terminal provided in a vehicle; a mobile communication server configured to provide a firmware of the telematics terminal; and a telematics server configured to manage the firmware of the telematics terminal, and provide update information of the firmware to a mobile terminal, when the update information of the firmware is received from the mobile communication server. The mobile terminal is configured to check whether download is progressed based on the update information of the firmware provided from the telematics server while the remote service is executed in a state in which ignition of the vehicle is turned off, and request update download of the firmware to the telematics server according to the check result.

Claims

1. A system for firmware update of vehicle, the system comprising:

a telematics terminal provided in a vehicle;

a mobile communication server configured to provide a firmware of the telematics terminal;

a telematics server configured to manage the firmware of the telematics terminal, and check whether the telematics terminal executes a remote service and provide update information of the firmware to a mobile terminal, when the update information of the firmware is received from the mobile communication server; and

the mobile terminal configured to check whether download of the firmware is progressed based on the update information of the firmware provided from the telematics server while the remote service is executed in a state in which ignition of the vehicle is turned off, and request update download of the firmware to the telematics server according to the check result,

wherein the telematics server instructs the update download of the firmware to the telematics terminal at the request of the mobile terminal.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the telematics server checks whether the telematics terminal has completed the download of the update data of the firmware and guides installation of the update data of the firmware to the mobile terminal.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the mobile terminal checks whether installation is progressed based on installation guide of the update data of the firmware provided by the telematics server, and requests the installation of the update data of the firmware to the telematics server according to the check result.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the telematics terminal releases a standby mode and connects to the mobile communication server to download update data of the firmware, when download instruction for the update data of the firmware is received from the telematics server in the standby mode.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the telematics terminal installs the downloaded update data, when installation instruction for the update data of the firmware is received from the telematics server within a predetermined time after downloading the update data.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the telematics terminal reenters the standby mode, when a predetermined time is elapsed after installing the update data.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein the telematics terminal reenters the standby mode, when a predetermined time is elapsed after downloading the update data.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal installs application linked to the telematics terminal and instructs installation and update of the firmware installed in the telematics terminal through the application.

9. A method for firmware update of vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving update information of a firmware from a mobile communication server by a telematics server;

providing the update information of the firmware to a mobile terminal by checking whether a telematics terminal executes a remote service;

receiving a request for an update download of the firmware from the mobile terminal; and

instructing the update download of the firmware to the telematics terminal according to the request of the mobile terminal.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

releasing, by the telematics terminal, a standby mode when the download instruction for update data of the firmware is received from the telematics server in the standby mode; and

downloading, by the telematics terminal, the update data of the firmware by connecting to the mobile communication server.

11. The method of claim 9, by the telematics server, further comprising:

guiding installation of update data of the firmware to the mobile terminal by checking whether the telematics terminal has completed download of the update data of the firmware; and

instructing installation of the update data of the firmware to the telematics terminal according to the request of the mobile terminal when receiving the request of installation of the update data of the firmware from the mobile phone.

12. The method of claim 11, by the telematics terminal, further comprising:

installing the downloaded update data of the firmware, when installation instruction for update data of the firmware is received from the telematics server within a predetermined time after downloading the update data of the firmware.
