System for managing electronic card of vehicle, apparatus therefor, and method therefor

An apparatus for managing an electronic card of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing computer-executable code and terminal data obtained by matching an identification number of the vehicle with a first unique identification of a first terminal;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the computer-executable code,
• wherein the code comprises first program instructions for the processor to
• recognize a unique identification of a terminal loaded in the vehicle,
• compare the unique identification of the terminal loaded in the vehicle with the first unique identification stored in the memory to determine whether the terminal loaded in the vehicle is replaced, and
• in response to determining that the terminal loaded in the vehicle is replaced with a second terminal, transmit a second unique identification of the second terminal to a server and delete a second electronic card previously issued in response to detection of the second terminal.

A method for managing an electronic card of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• recognizing a unique identification of a terminal loaded in the vehicle;
• comparing the unique identification of the terminal loaded in the vehicle with a first unique identification of a first terminal, wherein the first unique identification is stored in a memory of the vehicle, to determine whether the terminal loaded into the vehicle is replaced;
• determining that the terminal in the vehicle is replaced with a second terminal;
• transmitting a second unique identification of the second terminal to a server based on determining that the terminal in the vehicle is replaced with the second terminal;
• updating the first unique identification to the second unique identification in a server database of the server;
• and
• deleting a second electronic card previously issued in response to detection of the second terminal.
