Public service system and method using autonomous smart car

A method of providing a public service using an autonomous smart car, the method comprising:

• by the autonomous smart car, automatically driving to a destination when the destination is set;
• by the autonomous smart car, storing images that are input through cameras on the autonomous smart car together with location information and time information;
• by the autonomous smart car, wirelessly transmitting facial information of a matched person to a predetermined outside by recognizing faces from the input or stored images on the basis of pre-stored facial information or wirelessly transmitting image data corresponding to time and location requested from the outside of input or stored data to a predetermined server;
• by an autonomous smart car managing server, managing autonomous smart cars;
• by the autonomous smart car managing server, transmitting faces of missing persons or facial information of suspects or wanted persons to the autonomous smart cars;
• by the autonomous smart car managing server, transmitting matched facial information to one or more of a public agency server and a missing person information server, which needs the facial information, depending on whether the facial information is matched with a missing person, a suspect, or a wanted person, when receiving the facial information from the autonomous smart cars;
• and
• by the autonomous smart car managing server, requesting image information of a crime scene including time and location to the autonomous smart cars when the public agency server requests the image information,
• wherein upon image information about a crime scene being requested, the autonomous smart car managing server selectively requests image information by referring to corresponding location information and time information to autonomous smart cars agreed with collection of time information and location information,
• wherein each of the autonomous smart cars includes:
• a black box unit taking and storing images of a surrounding of the each of the autonomous smart cars;
• a facial recognizing-processing unit recognizing faces of persons from the images taken by a camera;
• a communication unit communicating with the autonomous smart car managing server;
• an image output unit outputting various images and displaying corresponding information when a missing person, a suspect, or a wanted person is found;
• an autonomous driving unit autonomously driving the each of the autonomous smart cars;
• and
• a control unit controlling the each of the autonomous smart cars,
• wherein the black box unit includes:
• a first camera taking images of inside and outside of the each of the autonomous smart cars;
• a first memory unit storing image data taken by the first camera and sound data;
• and
• a person extraction unit extracting person information from the images of the outside taken by the first camera,
• wherein the facial recognizing-processing unit includes:
• a second camera taking images of the outside of the each of the autonomous smart cars;
• a facial recognition unit making data of facial information by recognizing faces of persons extracted from the black box unit or persons in the images taken by the second camera;
• a second memory unit storing facial information of one of a missing person, a suspect, and a wanted person from one of the autonomous smart car managing server, the public agency server, and the missing person information server, and updated facial information that is updated at a predetermine period;
• and
• a facial comparison unit detecting facial information of one or more of a missing person, a suspect, and a wanted person by comparing facial recognition data recognized by the facial recognition unit with the facial information stored in the second memory unit.
