In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is an advantage that the driver can perform the delivery in an efficient order by referring to the delivery destination list and the route by displaying the delivery destination list and the delivery route on the vehicle driving record apparatus.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by notifying the arrival of the delivery in advance before arrival of the delivery destination, the delivery destination may be operated in advance so that the temperature of the refrigerator becomes an appropriate level, thereby maintaining the freshness of the delivery product.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating a peripheral configuration of a vehicle driving record apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a vehicle driving record apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a vehicle driving record apparatus 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention creates and records a driving record of a vehicle automatically by referring to GPS coordinates of a vehicle installed in a delivery vehicle or a commercial vehicle and transmitted from GPS. By transmitting the stored information to the outside, the driving information of the vehicle can be efficiently managed. The management server 10 is a computer installed in the distribution center, and transmits and receives vehicle driving information through wired and wireless communication with the vehicle driving recorder 20. The management server 10 receives the driving record information of the vehicle from the vehicle driving recorder 20 and transmits various information necessary for delivery to the vehicle driving recorder. The management server 10 and the vehicle driving recorder 20 may transmit and receive data with the management server 10 through short-range wireless communication or wired communication. Alternatively, when the CDMA device is attached to the vehicle driving recorder 20, the vehicle driving recorder 20 may transmit and receive data in real time from a remote place. Information required for driving the vehicle is a list of ship destinations on the day, GPS coordinates of all ship destinations, toll gate GPS coordinates and directions and tolls, ship terminal numbers, and past driving records. The delivery destination terminal 30 is connected to the vehicle driving recorder 20 through a mobile communication network, and receives the arrival schedule notification message from the vehicle driving recorder 20.

Referring to FIG. 2, the vehicle driving record apparatus 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an operation unit 212, a GPS receiver 213, an accumulation record detector 214, a driving record generator 222, It includes a transceiver 221, a data storage 217, a driving route manager 223, and a display 218.

The operation unit 212 is a key input unit for inputting an operation signal by the driver, and inputs information such as a driver's work state, toll fee, fuel cost information, and delivery destination selection information. The driver's work status input keys are "car on board", "start", "rest", "toll gate", "arrival", "tolerance", and the like. The GPS receiver 213 receives current time information and the current GPS coordinates of the vehicle from the GPS 40. Accumulation record detecting unit 214 detects the traveling distance of the vehicle, and receives information from the tachometer. The driving record preparation unit 222 creates a driving distance input from the integration record detection unit 214 and a driving distance according to the GPS coordinates of the GPS receiver 213 for each significant point on the electronic map and stores it in the data storage unit 217. do. In this case, the point of interest may be a point at which the current GPS coordinates received by the GPS receiver match the GPS coordinates included in the past driving record or a point at which a driver's manipulation signal is input.

The transceiving unit 221 receives delivery information necessary for delivery from the management server 10 and transmits the driving record stored in the data storage unit 217 to the management server 10. The delivery information received from the management server 10 is a list of ship destinations on the day, GPS coordinates of all ship destinations, toll gate GPS coordinates and directions and toll rates, ship destination terminal numbers, past driving records, and the like. The data storage unit 217 stores various types of information received from the transmitting and receiving unit, the driving record created by the driving record creating unit 222, the GPS coordinates, and various kinds of information input through the operation unit.

The driving route manager 223 stores the data received through the transceiver 221 in the data storage unit 217, and sequentially reads out the delivery destination list stored in the data storage unit 217 to visit. The driving route management unit 223 sequentially outputs the delivery destination list according to the GPS coordinates or information input to the operation unit 212. For example, each time a visit is made to a shipping destination by referring to the shipping destination list and the current location information recognized by the GPS receiver, the next shipping destination is displayed. Alternatively, each time an operation signal is input from the operation unit 212, a list up may be displayed to display a next destination. In addition, the driving route manager 223 calculates and outputs the location and route of the visited shipping destination with reference to the shipping destination list and the current GPS coordinates. The display unit 218 displays information output from the driving route manager 223 and displays a delivery destination list, a delivery destination location, a delivery route, and the like.

According to a further aspect of the invention, it further includes an arrival notification unit 219. The arrival notification unit 219 transmits an arrival notification message to the terminal of the next destination to be visited. The arrival notification unit 219 continuously calculates an estimated arrival time by referring to the current GPS coordinates and next destination address information, and transmits an arrival notification message when the estimated arrival time reaches the set time. As a result, the delivery company operates the refrigerator at an appropriate level with reference to the estimated arrival time transmitted to the delivery destination terminal 30. Here, if the delivery destination terminal 30 has a function of automatically operating the refrigerator upon receiving the arrival text message, the refrigerator of the delivery destination may be operated at an appropriate level in accordance with the estimated arrival time without additional user manipulation.

According to a further aspect of the invention, it further comprises a start detector 215 for detecting whether power is being supplied from the power supply of the vehicle. The driving record preparation unit 222 does not reflect the received data of the GPS receiver 213 to the driving distance when it is detected that the starting is turned off as a result of the detection by the start detecting unit 215. That is, in GPS reception, a distortion phenomenon appears that the vehicle is moved even in a stopped state. In particular, distortion is more noticeable when there are glass windows in the building or in foggy weather. Accordingly, the present invention ignores the GPS coordinates in the off state in order to prevent distortion in GPS reception.

On the other hand, according to an additional aspect of the present invention may further include a toll calculation unit 224. The first toll of the corresponding section is input through the operation unit 212 by the driver's operation. The input toll information is created as driving record information by the driving record preparation unit 222 and stored in the data storage unit 217. In the subsequent operation, the toll calculation unit 224 stores the toll stored in the data storage unit 217 according to the current GPS coordinates received from the GPS receiver 213 and the moving distance detected by the multiplication record detector 214. The toll at the toll gate is calculated from the information. The toll information calculated is created as a driving record in the driving record preparation unit 222 and stored in the data storage unit 217.

According to a further aspect of the invention includes a notification unit 219 and the path departure warning unit 225. The notification unit 219 is to notify the driver when the delivery vehicle deviates from the route, and may be a speaker that outputs a warning voice or a lighting lamp that warns through lighting. The path departure warning unit 225 detects whether the delivery vehicle is out of path and controls the driving of the notification unit according to the detection result. The route departure warning unit 225 determines that the route has been departed when the difference between the current position of the vehicle received by the GPS receiver 213 and the delivery destination position is greater than or equal to a set value.

According to a further aspect of the invention, it comprises a temperature sensing unit 216. The temperature detector 216 receives temperature data inside the refrigerator from a temperature sensor installed in the refrigerator mounted in the vehicle. The driving record preparation unit 222 stores the temperature data received from the temperature sensing unit 216 in the data storage unit 217 in relation to another driving record, for example, the current position and the current time. Thus, according to an aspect of the present invention by detecting the temperature of the refrigerator mounted on the vehicle to record the driving information, it is possible to maintain the freshness of the delivery product by monitoring the drivers do not operate the refrigerator in order to reduce fuel costs. In addition, it is obvious that the vehicle driving record apparatus of the present invention includes a power supply unit 211 for supplying power to the apparatus.

Hereinafter will be described the operation of the vehicle driving record apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 and 4 are flowcharts illustrating an initial recording process of the vehicle driving record apparatus. First, in the distribution center, the transceiver 221 receives information necessary for delivery from the management server 10 (200). In this case, the information necessary for delivery may be received through a short-range wireless communication or a wired communication by visiting a distribution center. Alternatively, when the vehicle driving recorder 20 is equipped with CDMA, the delivery information may be received remotely through the mobile communication network. The delivery information includes a list of ship destinations on the day, GPS coordinates of all ship destinations, toll gate GPS coordinates and directions, ship destination terminal numbers, and past driving records.

When the delivery information is received, the driver presses the current working state, that is, the "car loading" state, via the operation unit 212 to input the car loading signal (210), and loads the product. At this time, the temperature management of the refrigerator mounted in the vehicle is started according to the product. That is, the temperature detector 216 periodically detects the temperature of the refrigerator from this point in time. When the "loading" of all products is completed, the driver selects the "logistics center" through the operation unit 212 and presses the "start" button to allow the start signal to be input (220). When the start signal is input, the driving record creating unit 222 creates the driving information at the starting point and records the driving information at the data storage unit 217 (230). The driving information at the departure point is GPS coordinates of the departure point, departure time, numerical values detected by the accumulated record detector, a moving direction of the vehicle, and temperature data detected by the temperature detector.

When the driving information of the departure point is recorded, the driving route management unit 223 provides the delivery destination list through the display unit by using the list information provided from the management server 10 (240). The delivery destination list is listed up each time the destination arrives as the vehicle moves. The destination list up may be changed to the next destination each time the destination arrives at the destination according to the destination GPS coordinates on the list, or may be changed to the next destination whenever the arrival signal is input to the operation unit 212 by the driver pressing the arrival button. In addition, the driving route management unit 223 may search the route using the GPS coordinates of the next shipping destination and the current GPS coordinates as well as the list of the shipping destinations, and provide the moving path together.

Meanwhile, the driver starts delivery by referring to the provided destination list. In the delivery process, the arrival notification unit 219 continuously monitors the arrival schedule of the delivery destination and determines whether the arrival scheduled time reaches the set time (250). As a result of the determination of the estimated arrival time, when the arrival time arrives, the arrival arrival notification message is transmitted to the terminal of the delivery destination (260).

If it is determined that the estimated time of arrival is not the estimated time of arrival, the driving record creating unit 222 determines whether the corresponding position is a significant point in the delivery process (270). Points of interest may be origins, destinations, toll gates, and the like. The determination of whether the significant point is performed by comparing the GPS coordinates of the corresponding point with the GPS coordinates received from the management server 10 or when the driver inputs the significant point button, determines the corresponding point as the significant point. . The driving record preparation unit 222 determines whether the location is a significant point, and if it is not the significant point, calculates an estimated time of arrival until the arrival time of the delivery destination is reached, and determines whether the set time is reached.

If it is determined that the significant point is a significant point, it is determined whether the corresponding location is an intermediate delivery destination (280). The arrival of the intermediate delivery destination may be a case in which the arrival notification signal is input to the operation unit 212 by pressing the "arrival" button. Alternatively, the determination of whether the intermediate delivery destination arrives may be performed by comparing the current GPS coordinates with the GPS coordinates of the intermediate delivery destination received from the management server 10. If it is determined that the intermediate delivery destination has been arrived, it is determined that the next delivery destination is displayed (up) 290 so that the next delivery destination is displayed, and a driving record is created to store driving record information created in the data storage unit 217 (330). .

If the point of interest is not the intermediate delivery destination, it is determined whether the return to the distribution center (300). If it does not arrive at the distribution center it is determined whether the toll input mode (310). That is, in the case of the initial delivery route, the driver inputs the toll after pressing the toll selection button on the toll gate, thereby allowing the toll information to be input from the operation unit 212 (320). The driving record preparation unit writes the input toll information along with other driving information into a driving record and stores it in the data storage unit 217 (330). According to an embodiment of the present invention, by inputting the toll information at the beginning, when the same delivery route is subsequently operated, it is automatically created and recorded in the driving information without directly inputting the toll fee. When not in the toll input mode, the driving record preparation unit 222 writes the driving information at the corresponding position and writes it in the data storage unit 217. Specifically, when the toll is not input, the current GPS coordinates and the value of the accumulated record detector are compared with previously stored toll information, and the toll information is calculated based on other driving information, for example, GPS coordinates and present. The driving record is created along with the time, the numerical value detected by the integrated record detection unit, and the refrigerator temperature information.

After storing the driving record 330, it is determined whether a driving information request signal is input from the management server 10 (340). When the driving information request is received from the management server 10, the driving record stored in the data storage unit 217 is transmitted to the management server 10 (350). If there is no request for service information or after transmitting the service record to the management server 10, the process returns to the process of calculating the estimated time of arrival of the next delivery destination until it arrives again at the distribution center.

When returning to the distribution center, the operation information in the return state is prepared and stored in the data storage unit 217 (360). After storing the driving record, it is determined whether there is a driving information request from the management server 10 (370), and if there is a driving information request, the driving record is transmitted to the management server (380). Exit if there is no request for driving information.

In addition, although not shown in the flowchart, the driver presses the "rest" button when the vehicle stops and the "start" button when starting again, so that the corresponding information is input through the operation unit 212. And, when refueling the vehicle, press the "lubrication" button, input the fueling capacity and amount so that the information is recorded along with the driving information. In addition, when the tolerance selection information is input through the operation unit 212, the temperature data is ignored when the driving record is created. In addition, the path departure warning unit 225 continuously detects whether the delivery vehicle is out of the path, and controls the driving of the notification unit 219 according to the detection result when the path is out of the path warning to the driver.

Using the driving information obtained according to the embodiment of the present invention can obtain a vehicle driving record as shown in Table 1 below.
