Server and method for providing connected service

A method for providing a connected service of an image capturing apparatus for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• connecting the image capturing apparatus for a vehicle to a server for providing a connected service using a wireless communication module;
• generating event data including event code information and operation mode information of the image capturing apparatus for a vehicle, when an event occurs in the image capturing apparatus for a vehicle;
• and
• transmitting the generated event data to the server for providing a connected service through the wireless communication module,
• wherein the event includes a second event including at least one of a parking location image request response event and a live image request response event according to a request in the user terminal device provided with the connected service,
• the method further includes extracting an image of a time point corresponding to the second event when the second event occurs and generating image upload data, and
• in the transmitting of the generated event data, the second event data and the image upload data are transmitted to the server for providing a connected service through the wireless communication module.

• and
• receiving registration request response data including at least one of a traffic information day use time limit, a parking location image remaining count, a live image remaining count, and an impact image remaining count from the server for providing a connected service as a response to the terminal registration request.

An image capturing apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

• a communication unit communicating with a server for providing a connected service;
• and
• a control unit generating event data including event code information and operation mode information of the image capturing apparatus for a vehicle, when an event occurs in the image capturing apparatus for a vehicle, and controlling the communication unit to transmit the generated event data to the server for providing a connected service,
• wherein the event includes a first event including at least one of an impact occurrence event while parked, an impact occurrence event while driving, and a movement occurrence event while parked,
• the control unit:
• extracts at least two images of images captured within a predetermined time range of an occurrence of the first event when the first event occurs, and generates image upload data using the extracted images, and
• transmits the first event data and the image upload data to the server for providing a connected service through the communication unit.
