Many trucks, buses, heavy equipment, etc. are difficult to keep in residential areas, so they are often parked on the road or at a car parked away from home or company on the day when they do not work or at night.

However, such large-sized business vehicles are expensive in themselves, and there are many mechanical devices installed therein, so that there is often a theft or accident at night or in the absence of the driver. There is also a case where a collision accident occurs by another vehicle while parking on the road side.

The most popular black box device allows you to check the contents of an accident by shooting the inside and outside of the vehicle when an emergency occurs. However, more importantly, when a situation such as theft, accident, or fire occurs, the situation is informed to the driver or the owner of the awning in real time so that quick action can be taken. A technique for a control system of a vehicle related thereto is disclosed.

The control system 200 of the present invention is installed in the vehicle 10 and is generally operated independently of the control system of the vehicle 10. It is also possible to control the operation of the navigation system .

The control unit 202 included in the control system 200 functions to convert the operation of the internal components, the signal conversion, the video signal, and the audio signal into digital data. Photographing, recording, data transfer, and the like are performed in response to a command from the control unit 202. [

The communication unit 204 transmits the data transferred from the control unit 202 to the mobile communication network 300 by loading the data in the wireless communication signal. The mobile communication network 300 used in the present invention means a 3G or 4G mobile communication service network in a general sense in which voice and data can be transmitted and received.

The state of the vehicle 10 must be grasped in order to start the operation of the control system 200, and the sensor 206 is used for this purpose. The sensor 206 is a sensing means for sensing a situation occurring in the vehicle 10 and starting shooting of an image or recording of an audio. As the sensor 206 of the present invention, a motion detection sensor 206a, a vibration detection sensor 206b, a heat detection sensor 206c, and the like are used.

The motion detection sensor 206a is a means for detecting whether there is a moving person or an object inside or outside the vehicle 10 using infrared rays or sound waves. The motion detection sensor 206a is useful for detecting a person approaching the outside of the vehicle 10. [

The vibration detection sensor 206b senses a shock or vibration of a predetermined level or more applied to the vehicle 10, and detects a collision or a damage due to an impact.

The heat detection sensor 206c is a means for detecting occurrence of a fire in the inside or outside of the vehicle 10 or damage to the vehicle 10 due to high temperature heat. The heat sensing sensor 206c can sense the temperature, the flame, the generation of infrared rays, and the like.

When the driver 10 or the owner parks the vehicle 10 with the ignition turned off, the operation of the sensor 206 is started. When the various sensors 206 detect the situation occurring in the vehicle 10, the monitoring operation of the control system 200 is started.

The camera 208 is divided into an internal camera 208a and an external camera 208b. The camera 208 captures images of the inside and outside of the vehicle 10, respectively. The camera 208 converts the photographed image into a video signal and transmits the video signal to the control unit 202.

The microphone 210 also includes an internal microphone 210a and an external microphone 210b for recording voice inside and outside the vehicle 10, respectively. The microphone 210 converts the recorded voice into a voice signal and transmits the voice signal to the control unit 202.

The camera 208 and the microphone 210 are operated together so that video image recording and voice recording are performed at the same time.

The user terminal 400 means a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet PC, etc. used by a driver or an owner, and can be used as long as it is a terminal capable of transmitting and receiving data, inputting control commands, and outputting video and audio.

The control server 500 is a server of a system for operating the control system 200 of the present invention and stores video data and voice data or transmits an accident fact to an associated agency (police station, fire station, insurance company, hospital, etc.) can do. However, the control system 200 of the present invention may take charge of both photographing, recording, and transmission of accident facts.

A control operation process using such a system will be described as follows.

First, the operation of the control system 200 is started when a driver or an owner parks the vehicle 10 in a parking lot, a roadside, a school, a construction site, or the like. The sensor 206 starts to detect a phenomenon occurring inside or outside the vehicle.

When the intruder opens the door of the vehicle 10 or breaks the window, the sensor 206 detects the operation of the intruder, the impact, the vibration, the heat generated in the flame, and transmits the sensed result to the control unit 202. If the sensed phenomenon by the sensor 206 is different from the normal environment, the control unit 202 regards that an abnormal situation has occurred and generates data to be transmitted to the user terminal 400. [

The control unit 202 executes the camera 208 and the microphone 210 to generate data. The camera 208 captures the inside and outside images of the vehicle 10, and the microphone 210 records the voice. The control unit 202 combines the video signal and the voice signal transmitted from each device to generate vehicle status information. The vehicle status information will include both the current state of the vehicle, surrounding sounds, and intruder images.

The generated vehicle status information is transmitted to the user terminal 400 through the mobile communication network 300. To this end, the control system 200 stores the unique number (telephone number, etc.) of the user terminal 400 of the driver or the owner.

The user terminal 400 displays the transmitted vehicle status information on the display. An example of the information to be displayed is shown in Fig. The vehicle number 402, the situation information 404, the vehicle image 406, and the like. The vehicle number 402 is a number or name for identifying the vehicle 10 to be monitored, and the status information 404 indicates the content of the abnormal situation that occurred. For example, when an unauthorized person enters the interior of the vehicle 10, it is called "intrusion ", or when a strong impact is detected outside the vehicle 10, When it is high, it indicates the appropriate situation such as "fire". The vehicle image 406 displays the current state of the vehicle on the display of the user terminal 400. It is preferable that the vehicle image 406 is an image photographed by the camera 208.

In addition, the voice recorded by the microphone 210 is output through the speaker of the user terminal 400. [

The driver or the owner confirms the image and voice displayed on the user terminal 400 and takes appropriate measures (report the accident, theft, intruder, fire, etc. to the related authorities)

In some cases, if an abnormal situation occurs under a certain condition, it may be automatically notified to the related authority through the control server 500. That is, when an unauthorized intruder occurs, the user terminal 400 can be notified, and at the same time, the theft report can be immediately transmitted to the police station or the like. Also, if the temperature of the vehicle suddenly rises or smoke is detected, the fire department may be set to immediately report the fire.
