In implementation, the data center 100 which is a center provided separately from a telematics center (not shown) may communicate with the telematics center. However, in the present disclosure, it is assumed that the data center 100 may include a telematics center. Therefore, the data center 100 serving as a telematics center may provide various services to a terminal 200 mounted in a vehicle. For example, the data center 100 may provide information regarding vehicle accidents, theft sensing and driving path guidance, traffic and living information, games and the like to the terminal 200.
Hereinafter, elements of the data center 100 and the terminal 200 mounted in the vehicle will be described in detail.
The data center 100 may include a center modem unit 110, a center memory 120, and a center controller 130. The data center 100 may include elements provided in number greater than these elements, but only the elements necessary for description of the present invention are displayed.
The center modem unit 110 may communicate with a terminal modem unit 210 of the terminal 200 mounted in a vehicle. The center modem unit 110 may communicate with other mobile terminals.
The center memory 120 may serve as a unit to store big data under control of the center controller 130.

FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating a control method of a terminal mounted in a vehicle in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
First, the terminal controller 250 receives at least one vehicle information message (Operation S210). The terminal controller 250 may receive the at least one vehicle information message through in-vehicle communication, such as a CAN.
In this case, the terminal controller 250 may receive vehicle information from ECUs included in a power train CAN, a chassis CAN, a multimedia CAN, and a body CAN. The terminal controller 250 may receive the above-described vehicle failure information, driving information, modem information, and signal information of electronic control units (ECUs) mounted in the vehicle and the like. For example, the terminal controller 250 may receive velocity information, intake air temperature information, water temperature information and RPM information of the vehicle through in-vehicle communication. The terminal controller 250 receives the above-described vehicle information in a message type. If the in-vehicle communication is CAN communication, a message includes not only vehicle information but also data according to CAN communication protocols and other information.
Thereafter, the terminal controller 250 extracts vehicle data from the at least one vehicle information message (Operation S220). The terminal controller 250 may extract only vehicle information, i.e., vehicle data, from among numerous vehicle information messages. For example, the terminal controller 250 may extract only velocity information from a vehicle information message including the velocity information, extract only intake air temperature information from a vehicle information message including the intake air temperature information, extract only water temperature information from a vehicle information message including the water temperature information, and extract only RPM information from a vehicle information message including the RPM information. Further, if, among a plurality of vehicle information messages, at least some vehicle information messages include vehicle data, the terminal controller 250 may select the messages including the vehicle data and extract the vehicle data from the selected messages.
Thereafter, the terminal controller 250 generates a data package to be transmitted to the data center 100 by grouping at least one extracted piece of vehicle data into a designated unit (Operation S230). The terminal controller 250 generates a data package of a designated unit by extracting only vehicle data from a plurality of vehicle information messages. Here, the terminal controller 250 may generate the data package having a size which is receivable by the data center 100. Further, the terminal controller 250 may receive the time, cycle, and frequency of transmission of vehicle data from the data center 100 and generate a data package based on the received information. A detailed description thereof will be given later with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
Finally, the terminal controller 250 transmits the generated data package to the data center 100 (Operation S240). Further, the terminal controller 250 may receive a user agreement about provision of the above-described vehicle data to the data center 100. The terminal controller 250 may transmit the vehicle data to the data center 100 only if there is a user agreement.
FIG. 3 contains views illustrating an operation of a terminal mounted in a vehicle, which receives vehicle data messages, extracts vehicle data, groups the vehicle data into a designated unit and generates a data package, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
As exemplarily shown in section (a) of FIG. 3, the terminal controller 250 receives at least one vehicle information message, i.e., vehicle information messages 310-1 to 310-6, through CAN communication. Among the vehicle information messages 310-1 to 310-6, some vehicle information messages 310-1, 310-3, 310-5 and 310-6 include vehicle data (i.e., ‘velocity’, ‘intake air temperature’, ‘water temperature’, and ‘RPM’). On the other hand, some vehicle information messages 310-2 and 310-4 include no vehicle data.
As exemplarily shown in section (b) of FIG. 3, the terminal controller 250 may exclude the vehicle information messages 310-2 and 310-4 including no vehicle data.
Thereafter, as exemplarily shown in section (c) of FIG. 3, the terminal controller 250 extracts vehicle data from the vehicle information messages 310-1, 310-3, 310-5 and 310-6 among the vehicle information messages 310-1 to 310-6. Then, the terminal controller 250 generates a data package using the extracted vehicle data. That is, the terminal controller 250 generates a data package using the vehicle data including ‘velocity’, ‘intake air temperature’, ‘water temperature’ and ‘RPM’.
As described above, in the present disclosure, the terminal controller 250 transmits vehicle data in the data package form to the data center 100 and thus, a data transmission load may be effectively reduced. Thereby, cost reduction and apparatus efficiency may be improved.
FIG. 4 contains views illustrating generation of a data package, in which requirements of a data center are reflected, by a terminal mounted in a vehicle in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
Section (a) of FIG. 4 illustrates vehicle data which the terminal controller 250 sequentially receives. The terminal controller 250 receives vehicle data in order of ‘velocity 1’, ‘intake air temperature 1’, ‘water temperature 1’, ‘RPM 1’, ‘velocity 2’, ‘water temperature 2’, ‘RPM 2’, ‘intake air temperature 2’, ‘velocity 3’, ‘event A’, ‘RPM 3’, ‘intake air temperature 3’, . . . . Here, the data center 100 may adjust the cycle and the frequency of vehicle data in a data package received by the data center 100 from the terminal controller 250. For example, if the data center 100 request to the terminal controller 220 to receive all water temperature information and to receive alternately velocity information, intake air temperature information and RPM information, the data center 100 may receive the vehicle data in order of ‘velocity 1’, ‘water temperature 1’, ‘intake air temperature 1’, ‘RPM 1’, ‘water temperature 2’, ‘velocity 3’, . . . .
The data center 100 may determine the size of the data package generated by the terminal controller 250. If the data center 100 transmits ‘event A’ to the terminal controller 250, the terminal controller 250 may generate a data package using vehicle data ‘event A’ as the last piece of vehicle data and transmit the data package to the data center 100 (e.g., see section (b) of FIG. 4). In such a manner, the data center 100 may determine the size of a received data package, adjust disposition of pieces of vehicle data in the data package, and adjust the number of pieces of vehicle data to be received. If a problem occurs during driving of the vehicle, the data center 100 may more frequently collect doubtful vehicle data and thus rapidly solve the problem of the vehicle. Further, the data center 100 may collect the most necessary vehicle data under various conditions and thus facilitate driver convenience.
As apparent from the above description, in a terminal mounted in a vehicle, a control method thereof, a data center and a control method thereof in accordance with embodiments, a vehicle data transmission load is effectively reduced and thus, apparatus efficiency may be improved. Further, the cycle and amount of vehicle data necessary for the terminal mounted in the vehicle are adjusted and thus, data may be effectively collected.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the disclosed embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure covers the modifications and variations of the subject matter disclosed herein provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
