Abstract

A method for establishing a communication between a first communication device in a first vehicle and a second communication device in a second vehicle, the method including the steps of, determining whether a mobile phone service is available, obtaining, a current position information of the first vehicle, setting, by the first communication device, a communication mode of the first communication device into an access point mode, transmitting, by the first communication device, ID information and the current position information of the first vehicle, recording, by the second communication device, the ID information and the position information of the first vehicle, transmitting, by the second communication device, the ID information of the first vehicle and position information of the second vehicle via a mobile phone to a service authority, when the second communication device fails to receive the position information of the first vehicle.

Claims

1. A method for establishing a communication between a first communication device in a first vehicle and a second communication device in a second vehicle via a broad-band medium, the method comprising the steps of:

determining, by the first communication device in the first vehicle, whether a mobile phone service is available when an emergency event of the first vehicle occurs;

obtaining, by the first communication device, current position information of the first vehicle;

setting, by the first communication device, a communication mode of the first communication device into an access point mode;

transmitting, by the first communication device, ID information and the current position information of the first vehicle;

recording, by the second communication device in the second vehicle, the ID information and the current position information of the first vehicle;

transmitting, by the second communication device in the second vehicle, the ID information of the first vehicle and position information of the second vehicle via a mobile phone to a service authority, when the second communication device fails to receive the current position information of the first vehicle, wherein, the ID information and the current position information of the first vehicle are recorded as a part of a Service Set Identification (SSID) of a data format of emergency communication; and

setting, by the second communication device, a flag bit in the data format, which indicates that the position information of the second vehicle has been recorded instead of the current position information of the first vehicle when the second communication device fails to receive the current position information of the first vehicle.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

changing, by the first communication device, color of lighting device or a sound aspect of a sound device installed in the first communication device when a status of emergency communication changes.

3. A method for establishing a communication between a first communication device in a first vehicle and a second communication device in a second vehicle via a broad-band medium, the method comprising the steps of:

obtaining, by a mobile device, ID information of the first vehicle;

transmitting by the mobile device, the ID information of the first vehicle to the first communication device;

storing, by the first communication device, the ID information into a memory in the first communication device;

determining, by the first communication device in the first vehicle whether a mobile phone service is available when an emergency event of the first vehicle occurs;

obtaining, by the first communication device, current position information of the first vehicle;

setting, by the first communication device, a communication mode of the first communication device into an access point mode;

transmitting, by the first communication device, communication data including the ID information and the current position information of the first vehicle;

recording, by the second communication device in the second vehicle, the communication data from the first vehicle;

transmitting, by the second communication device in the second vehicle, the ID information of the first vehicle and position information of the second vehicle via a mobile phone to a service authority, when the second communication device fails to receive the current position information of the first vehicle, wherein, the ID information and the current position information of the first vehicle are recorded as a part of a Service Set Identification (SSID) of a data format of emergency communication; and

setting, by the second communication device, a flag bit in the data format, which indicates that the position information of the second vehicle has been recorded instead of the current position information of the first vehicle when the second communication device fails to receive the current position information of the first vehicle.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the ID information includes a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and/or a plate number.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

capturing, by a camera installed in the mobile device, an image of the VIN or the plate number.

6. A method for establishing a communication between a first communication device in a first vehicle and a second communication device in a second vehicle via a broad-band medium, the method comprising the steps of:

determining, by the first communication device in the first vehicle whether a mobile phone service is available when an emergency event of the first vehicle occurs;

obtaining, by the first communication device, current position information of the first vehicle;

setting, by the first communication device, a communication mode of the first communication device into an access point mode;

transmitting, by the first communication device, ID information and the current position information of the first vehicle;

recording, by the second communication device in the second vehicle, the ID information and the current position information of the first vehicle;

transmitting, by the second communication device in the second vehicle, the ID information of the first vehicle and position information of the second vehicle via a mobile phone to a service authority, when the second communication device fails to receive the current position information of the first vehicle; and

setting, by the second communication device, a flag bit in the data format, which indicates that the position information of the second vehicle has been recorded instead of the current position information of the first vehicle when the second communication device fails to receive the current position information of the first vehicle.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

changing, by the first communication device, color of lighting device or a sound aspect of a sound device installed in the first communication device when a status of emergency communication changes.
