That is, the GPS is a reference station 253 and the reference station GPS receiver 255 and the user for measuring the pseudo distance and noise by measuring the delay time of radio waves emitted from a plurality of satellites (251 (illustrated with only one for convenience)). A user GPS receiver 257 mounted on a vehicle is provided.

Radio waves emitted from the plurality of satellites 251 are received by the GPS receiver 255 for the reference station and the GPS receiver 257 for the user. Since the reference station already knows the actual distance from the satellite, it compares the pseudo distance by radio wave reception and sets the difference as a pseudo distance correction value and transmits the correction value to the user GPS receiver 257. Then, the user GPS receiver 257 can accurately know its position by calculating the pseudo range by the radio wave received from the satellite and the correction value received from the reference station.

In addition, the user GPS receiver 257 is connected to a transmitter 259 capable of transmitting its own position.

Of course, the conversion unit 263 is also connected to the management server (11).

As shown in FIG. 6, the management server 11 further includes a GPS data processing module 265 for processing GPS data. The database server 15 connected to the management server 11 further includes a database 267 for storing location information of the vehicle by GPS. The GPS data storage database 267 is a location where the location signal data of the vehicle input through the conversion unit 263 is managed and stored by the GPS data processing module 265.

This second embodiment can more accurately grasp the moving position of the vehicle than in the first embodiment, thereby providing more confidence to the user when providing a monitoring service.

Referring to Figure 4 according to the configuration of the present invention made as described above in detail the method for monitoring the vehicle as follows.

First, when a user transmits a monitoring request signal through the portable communication terminal 3, the request signal is transmitted to the base station controller 53, the switch 55, and the mobile communication network server 57 of the base station 51. The location information of the portable communication terminal 3 is then recorded in the home location register 58 connected to the mobile communication network server 57. Subsequently, the monitoring request signal of the portable communication terminal 3 is transmitted to the management server 11 via the network 9 via the WAP server 7. Then, the connection processing module 51 of the management server 11 receives the monitoring request signal (S1) and processes the connection to be maintained. In response to the monitoring request signal, the member management module 53 determines whether the member and the vehicle are registered in comparison with the contents already stored in the member information storage database 101 and the vehicle information storage database 103 (S3). ). If the member management module 53 is not a member or does not match the registered vehicle according to the monitoring request signal, the member management module 53 calls the guide information processing module 57 and transmits data for guiding membership to the portable communication terminal ( S5).

When the member is registered as a vehicle, the member management module 53 assigns a vehicle monitoring number (S7) and transmits the vehicle monitoring number to the vehicle monitoring management module 151 of the monitoring processing server 13.

At this time, the vehicle monitoring management module 151 stores the data stored in the home location register 58 in the vehicle movement driving data storage database 17 when the location is tracked by the mobile communication terminal, and the receiver when GPS is used. The location of the vehicle received from 161 is stored in the GPS data storage database 267 to track the location of the vehicle (S9).

The monitoring management module 151 then reads the geographic information from the geographic information storage database 107, and reads the contents of the vehicle movement driving data storage database 17 or the GPS data storage database 267. The driving position of the vehicle is repeatedly checked (S11).

At this time, the monitoring management module 151 calls the traffic condition and information processing module 59 to load the contents stored in the traffic condition and information storage database 105 together.

The monitoring management module 151 transmits a signal regarding the movement state of the vehicle to the vehicle movement monitoring terminal control module 153 and displays it on the monitoring terminal 15 so that an administrator can monitor the movement state of the vehicle (S13). ).

Then, the monitoring terminal 15 displays a map based on geographic information, contents of a vehicle's position and traffic conditions, and the manager continuously observes the monitoring terminal 15 to drive to the destination with the user.

The monitoring terminal control module 153 determines whether an accident situation or guidance is input by an administrator (S15).

The monitoring terminal control module 153 calls the guide information processing module 57 to provide the vehicle guide and information to the portable communication terminal when an accident situation or guide item is input (S17). At this time, the guide information processing module 57 transmits the vehicle guide and the information signal through the network 9 through the WAP server 7, the mobile communication network 57, the exchange 55, and the base station controller 53 of the base station 51. Transfer to a portable communication terminal.

In the above step, when a sudden situation such as an accident occurs, the guide information processing module 57 calls the branch server 17 (described as an arbitrary branch server for convenience) to manage the accident point to perform emergency rescue and accident handling. Take measures to help.

In this way, while continuously monitoring the driving state of the user's vehicle to the destination it will be informed about various traffic information and accidents.

When the vehicle monitoring release signal is input from the portable communication terminal 3 (S19), the vehicle monitoring driving-related data is stored in the vehicle moving driving-related data storage database 17 (S21) and ends.

Thus, in the present invention, when a novice driver or a driver drives a road or a long distance, the administrator monitors the movement state of the vehicle using a geographic information system through a network so that the driving is carried out together. Of course, by providing traffic conditions and guidance information, it is possible to reduce the burden on the driver to drive safely by not relying entirely on the driver's judgment when driving. In addition, even if the vehicle is difficult to drive due to a sudden traffic accident or breakdown, the management company monitors the driving state, so it can respond quickly to emergency measures and rescue requests.
