Abstract

A home telematics system providing a synchronization service between a telematics terminal and a computer, and a method thereof are provided. The system includes a telematics system having a telematics center; a home network system having a home network center and a home server; the telematics terminal for, upon generation of a synchronization service request, connecting with the home network center through the telematics center, transmitting a synchronization data request message to the home network center, and displaying synchronization data received in response to the synchronization data request message; and the computer for receiving the synchronization data request message through the home network center and the home server, and transmitting the synchronization data stored in a previously allocated storing region to the telematics terminal.

Claims

1. A home telematics system providing a synchronization service between a telematics terminal and a computer, the system comprising:

a telematics system having a telematics center;

a home network system having a home network center and a home server;

the telematics terminal for, upon generation of a synchronization service request, connecting with the home network center through the telematics center, transmitting a synchronization data request message to the home network center, and displaying synchronization data received in response to the synchronization data request message; and

the computer for receiving the synchronization data request message through the home network center and the home server, and transmitting the synchronization data stored in a previously allocated storing region to the telematics terminal through the home server and the home network center,

wherein the synchronization data request message comprises computer authentication information,

wherein the computer compares the computer authentication information of the synchronization data request message with previously stored authentication information, performs authentication and, upon authentication success, transmitting the previously stored synchronization data to the telematics terminal, and

wherein, upon authentication failure, the computer transmits a message of informing the authentication failure to the telematics terminal.

2. A home telematics system providing a synchronization service between a telematics terminal and a computer, the system comprising:

a telematics system having a telematics center;

a home network system having a home network center and a home server;

the telematics terminal for, upon generation of a synchronization service request, connecting with the home network center through the telematics center, transmitting a search request message having a synchronization item and a key word to the home network center, and displaying synchronization data received in response to the search request message; and

the computer for receiving the search request message through the home network center and the home server, detecting the synchronization item and the key word from the search request message, searching a previously allocated synchronization item storing region for the synchronization data having the key word, and transmitting the synchronization data to the telematics terminal through the home server and the home network centers,

wherein the search request message comprises computer authentication information,

wherein the computer compares the computer authentication information of the search request message with previously stored authentication information, performs authentication and, upon authentication success, transmitting the previously stored synchronization data to the telematics terminal, and

wherein, upon authentication failure, the computer transmits a message of informing the authentication failure to the telematics terminal.

3. A method of a synchronization service between a telematics terminal and a computer in a home telematics system having a telematics system and a home network system, the telematics system having the telematics terminal and a telematics center, and the home network system having a home network center and a home server, the method comprising the steps of:

in the telematics terminal, upon generation of a synchronization service request, connecting with the home network center through the telematics center, transmitting a synchronization data request message to the home network center;

in the computer, receiving the synchronization data request message through the home network center and the home server, and transmitting the synchronization data stored in a previously allocated storing region to the telematics terminal through the home server and the home network center; and

in the telematics terminal, receiving and displaying the synchronization data,

wherein the synchronization data request message comprises computer authentication information,

wherein the computer compares the computer authentication information of the synchronization data request message with previously stored authentication information, performs authentication and, upon authentication success, transmitting the previously stored synchronization data to the telematics terminal, and

wherein, upon authentication failure, the computer transmits a message of informing the authentication failure to the telematics terminal.

4. A method of a synchronization service between a telematics terminal and a computer in a home telematics system having a telematics system and a home network system, the telematics system having the telematics terminal and a telematics center, and the home network system having a home network center and a home server, the method comprising the steps of:

in the telematics terminal, upon generation of a synchronization service request, connecting with the home network center through the telematics center, and transmitting a search request message having a synchronization item and a key word to the home network center;

in the computer, receiving the search request message through the home network center and the home server, detecting the synchronization item and the key word from the search request message, searching a previously allocated synchronization item storing region for the synchronization data having the key word, and transmitting the synchronization data to the telematics terminal through the home server and the home network center; and

in the telematics terminal, receiving and displaying the synchronization data,

wherein the search request message comprises computer authentication information,

wherein the computer compares the computer authentication information of the search request message with previously stored authentication information, performs authentication and, upon authentication success, transmitting the previously stored synchronization data to the telematics terminal,

wherein, upon authentication failure, the computer transmits a message of informing the authentication failure to the telematics terminal,

wherein, upon search failure, the computer transmits a message of informing the search failure to the telematics terminal.
