Patent ID: 7599794

Claim:
A system for tracking a position of a remote vehicle using a telematics system, the system comprising: a communication terminal for generating and transmitting a remote position track service request signal upon reception of a remote position track service request from a user, and informing the user of vehicle position information upon reception of the vehicle position information responsive to the remote position track service request signal; a service providing center for receiving the remote position track service request signal and transmitting a remote position track service signal, and transmitting the vehicle position information to the communication terminal upon reception of the vehicle position information responsive to the remote position track service request signal; and a telematics terminal having a GPS (Global Positioning System) and a telematics controller, and receiving the remote position track service request signal, and detecting a vehicle position using the GPS to generate and transmit the vehicle position information to the service providing center, wherein the telematics controller is configured for the telematics terminal to receive a least power source for a remote position track even when a power source is turned off for other parts of the remote vehicle, wherein the telematics terminal is configured to perform the vehicle position track and power transmitting the position information from the telematics terminal even when the power source is turned off for other parts of the remote vehicle, wherein a displaying unit, a vehicle diagnosing unit, and a starter switch are configured not to be powered when the telematics terminal receives the least power source for the remote position track, wherein the communication terminal is away from the vehicle, and wherein the communication terminal initiates tracking of a position of the remote vehicle by generating and transmitting a remote position track service request signal while disconnecting powers to the displaying unit, the vehicle diagnosing unit, and the starter switch.
