TELEMATICS TERMINAL AND TELEMATICS CENTER FOR PREVENTING VEHICLE DISCHARGE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A telematics terminal comprising:
- a modem unit communicating with a telematics center; and
a controller i) monitoring an amount of current consumption by the modem unit in a sleep mode in which the telematics terminal is operated at low power, ii) when the monitored amount of current consumption exceeds a designated current consumption amount and the modem unit is in danger of electrical discharge, transmitting a vehicle discharge danger message indicating a current position of the telematics terminal to the telematics center, and iii) when a vehicle control command corresponding to the vehicle discharge danger message is received from the telematics center, performing an operation corresponding to the vehicle control command.
