Abstract

Disclosed are a proxy device for a vehicle and a method of managing data from the vehicle. The managing method of the data from the vehicle includes receiving short message data from a vehicle proxy device through a lightweight message transmission protocol, receiving long message data from the vehicle proxy device through a web service message transmission method, and providing vehicle operation data and recording image data to a specific external server or a proxy device for a specific vehicle. The vehicle operation data correspond to the short message data, and the recording image data correspond to the long message data. Accordingly, the transmission efficiency of the data related to the vehicle may be improved.

Claims

1. A proxy device for a vehicle, comprising:

a communication part receiving first data from one or more terminals in a first vehicle through a short range communication, providing second data provided from a second vehicle in a specific area or a data management server to a specific terminal in other vehicle, and performing a communication with the other vehicle or transmission and reception the first data or the second data to and from the data management server; and

an information processing part determining a communication path to transmit the first data to the other vehicle or the data management server, wherein the proxy device is included in the first vehicle.

2. The proxy device of claim 1, wherein the information processing part classifies the first data into short message data and long message data, the short message data are requested to be transmitted through a lightweight message transmission protocol, and the long message data are requested to be transmitted through a web service message transmission technology.

3. The proxy device of claim 2, wherein in a case that the terminal is an OBD system, the first data are vehicle operation data provided from the OBD system, and the information processing part diagnoses a state of the vehicle based on the vehicle operation data and requests a specific terminal in the vehicle to provide the diagnostic results.

4. The proxy device of claim 3, wherein the information processing part determines whether a precision diagnostics is needed to be performed based on the diagnostic results and transmits the vehicle operation data or the diagnostic results to the data management server to perform the precision diagnostics.

5. The proxy device of claim 1, wherein in a case that the terminal is a wearable device worn on a passenger or a device installed in the vehicle to check the passenger'"'"'s state, the information processing part analyzes the passenger'"'"'s state and transmits the first data or data obtained by analyzing the passenger'"'"'s state to an external server when it is determined that the passenger'"'"'s state is an abnormal state.

6. The proxy device of claim 1, wherein in a case that the terminal is a driving data recording device, the information processing part determines whether a recording image obtained in real time is transmitted to the outside of the vehicle and requests to transmit the recording image to a second proxy device in one or more second vehicles approaching to a specific area, and the second proxy device requests a reproducing device in the second vehicle to output the recording image.

7. A method of managing data from a vehicle, comprising:

receiving short message data, in which a data management server receives the short message data from a vehicle proxy device through a lightweight message transmission protocol;

receiving long message data, in which the data management server receives the long message data from the vehicle proxy device through a web service message transmission method; and

providing data, in which the data management server provides vehicle operation data and recording image data provided from the proxy device installed in one or more vehicles to a specific external server or a proxy device for a specific vehicle, wherein the vehicle operation data correspond to the short message data, and the recording image data correspond to the long message data.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein in a case that one or more vehicles are involved in an accident, the providing of the data comprises:

receiving vehicle identification information and information on time of the accident, which correspond to one or more accident vehicles, from the external server;

transmitting the vehicle operation data within a time range including the time of the accident of the vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identification information to the external server; and

transmitting the recording image data obtained by a terminal in the accident vehicle or recording image data, in which the accident vehicle is recorded at the time of the accident, to the external server.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the receiving of the short message data comprises receiving biometric signal data of a driver and further comprises calculating an abnormal state of the driver based on the biometric signal data or an abnormal state of the vehicle based on the vehicle operation data.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the providing of the data comprises providing notification information to a neighboring vehicle or a rescue vehicle.
