Abstract

A control method for a terminal mounted in a vehicle includes: receiving at least one vehicle information message; extracting at least one piece of vehicle data from the at least one vehicle information message; generating a data package to be transmitted to a data center by grouping the at least one extracted piece of vehicle data into a designated unit; and transmitting the generated data package to the data center.

Claims

1. A control method for a terminal mounted in a vehicle comprising:

receiving at least one vehicle information message;

extracting at least one piece of vehicle data from the at least one vehicle information message;

generating a data package to be transmitted to a data center by grouping the at least one extracted piece of vehicle data into a designated unit; and

transmitting the generated data package to the data center.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one vehicle information message is received from at least one electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle through in-vehicle communication.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one piece of vehicle data is extracted from at least some of the at least one vehicle information message, when the at least some of the at least one vehicle information message includes vehicle data.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the data package is generated based on a cycle of transmission of each of the at least one piece of vehicle data received from the data center.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the data package is generated based on a frequency of transmission of each of the at least one piece of vehicle data received from the data center.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the generated data package is transmitted to the data center, when an event message indicating immediate transmission of the data package is received from the data center.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the generated data package includes the event message.

8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising receiving a user agreement prior to the transmission of the generated data package to the data center.

9. A terminal mounted in a vehicle comprising:

a modem unit configured to receive at least one vehicle information message; and

a controller configured to extract at least one piece of vehicle data from the at least one vehicle information message, to generate a data package to be transmitted to a data center by grouping the at least one extracted piece of vehicle data into a designated unit, and to transmit, through the modem unit, the generated data package to the data center.

10. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to receive the at least one vehicle information message from at least one ECU of the vehicle through in-vehicle communication.

11. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to extract the at least one piece of vehicle data from at least some of the at least one vehicle information message, when the at least some of the at least one vehicle information message includes vehicle data.

12. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to generate the data package based on a cycle of transmission of each of the at least one piece of vehicle data received from the data center.

13. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to generate the data package based on a frequency of transmission of each of the at least one piece of vehicle data received from the data center.

14. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to transmit the generated data package to the data center, when an event message indicating immediate transmission of the data package is received from the data center.

15. The terminal according to claim 14, wherein the controller is further configured to include the event message in the generated data package.

16. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to receive a user agreement prior to the transmission of the generated data package to the data center.

17. A control method for a data center comprising:

transmitting transmission frequencies of pieces of vehicle data collected from a vehicle to a terminal mounted in the vehicle; and

receiving a data package acquired by grouping at least some of the pieces of vehicle data.

18. The control method according to claim 17, further comprising collecting the pieces of vehicle data from the received data package based on kinds of the vehicle data.

19. A data center comprising:

a modem unit configured to communicate with a telematics terminal of a vehicle; and

a controller configured to transmit transmission frequencies of pieces of vehicle data collected from the vehicle to a terminal mounted in the vehicle and to receive, through the modem unit, a data package acquired by grouping at least some of the pieces of vehicle data.

20. The data center according to claim 19, wherein the controller is further configured to collect the pieces of vehicle data from the data package based on kinds of the vehicle data.

21. The data center according to claim 20, wherein the controller is further configured to analyze the collected pieces of vehicle data.

22. The data center according to claim 19, wherein the controller is further configured to additionally transmit an event message indicating immediate transmission of the data package.

23. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having a program to execute a control method for a terminal mounted in a vehicle, wherein the control method includes:

receiving at least one vehicle information message;

extracting at least one piece of vehicle data from the at least one vehicle information message;

generating a data package to be transmitted to a data center by grouping the at least one extracted piece of vehicle data into a designated unit; and

transmitting the generated data package to the data center.
