Abstract
A method for controlling an in-vehicle apparatus to provide a geo-fencing service is disclosed. The method includes providing a geo-fencing service based on location of a vehicle, detecting at least one of a mobile device and a wearable device through a communication terminal equipped in the vehicle, recognizing location of the at least one of the mobile device and the wearable device, and requesting that a network server activates a notification for the geo-fencing service when the mobile device is determined to be located in a geo-fencing area and the wearable device is determined to be out of the geo-fencing area.
Claims20
A method for controlling an in-vehicle apparatus, the method comprising:
- providing a geo-fencing service based on location of a vehicle;
- detecting at least one of a mobile device and a wearable device based on communication with a communication terminal equipped in the vehicle;
- determining location of the at least one of the mobile device and the wearable device based on the communication with the communication terminal;
- and
- transmitting a request for a network server to activate a notification to a predetermined user device when the mobile device is determined to be located in a geo-fencing service area and the wearable device is determined to be out of the geo-fencing service area.
An in-vehicle apparatus for controlling a geo-fencing service, comprising:
- a service delivery unit configured to deliver the geo-fencing service to be provided based on location of a vehicle;
- a communication unit configured to detect at least one of a mobile device and a wearable device and to determine location of the at least one of the mobile device and the wearable device;
- and to
- a controller configured to request a network server to transmit a notification to a predetermined user device when the mobile device is determined to be located in a geo-fencing service area and the wearable device is determined to be out of the geo-fencing service area.
A network server in communication with a vehicle to provide a geo-fencing service, comprising:
- a service unit configured to recognize location of a vehicle and to provide the geo-fencing service based on the location of the vehicle;
- a communication unit configured to receive location of at least one of a mobile device and a wearable device from the vehicle;
- and
- a control unit configured to activate a notification to a predetermined user device when the mobile device is determined to be located in the geo-fencing service area and the wearable device is determined to be out of the geo-fencing service area.
