Abstract
A vehicular wireless connection system and method are provided to perform wireless communication connection between a vehicle and a smart device of a user. The method includes receiving a plurality of beacon signals by the smart device and generating a positioning key based on at least some of the plurality of beacon signals. Identification information including the positioning key and identification information of at least one nearby wireless device is transmitted to a server. In response to receiving vehicle verification result information from the server, a wireless connection to the vehicle is attempted based on the vehicle verification result information.
Claims12
A wireless connection method of a smart device, comprising:
- receiving, by a controller of the smart device, a plurality of beacon signals;
- generating, by the controller, a positioning key based on at combination of at least some of the plurality of beacon signals;
- transmitting, by the controller, identification information including the positioning key and identification information of at least one nearby wireless device, to a server;
- in response to receiving vehicle verification result information from the server, attempting, by the controller, a wireless connection to the vehicle based on the vehicle verification result information;
- determining, by the controller, at least one of a direction or a distance of each of a plurality of beacons configured to transmit the plurality of beacon signals, respectively;
- and
- determining, by the controller, a preset number of beacons belonging to the vehicle based on at least one of the determined direction or distance.
A method of supporting wireless communication connection between a smart device and a vehicle including a preset number of beacons, by a server, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller, vehicle identification information including a positioning key generated based on a signal transmitted by each of the beacons and identification information of at least one wireless device, from the smart device;
- verifying, by the controller, the vehicle based on the positioning key and the identification information of the at least one wireless device;
- and
- transmitting, by the controller, vehicle verification result information as a result of the verifying to the smart device,
- wherein verifying the vehicle includes:
- comparing, by the controller, the positioning key with pre-retained positioning key information;
- when the positioning key is present in the pre-retained positioning key information, determining, by the controller, whether wireless device identification information corresponding to a service target vehicle is detected in the identification information of the at least one wireless device;
- and
- determining, by the controller, whether the identification information of the wireless device determined to correspond to the service target vehicle matches the positioning key.
A vehicular wireless communication connection system, comprising:
- a vehicle including a preset number of beacons and at least one wireless communication module;
- and
- a smart device configured to attempt a wireless connection to the vehicle using a plurality of beacon signals and wireless device identification information received from the at least one wireless communication module,
- wherein the smart device is configured to generate a positioning key based on a combination of at least some of the plurality of beacon signals and transmit identification information of at least one nearby wireless device, to a server, and in response to receiving vehicle verification result information from the server, the smart device is configured to attempt the wireless connection to the vehicle based on the vehicle verification result information, and
- wherein the smart device is configured to determine at least one of a direction or a distance of each of a plurality of beacons configured to transmit the plurality of beacon signals, respectively, and determine a preset number of beacons belonging to the vehicle based on at least one of the determined direction or distance.
