Abstract
According to an embodiment, there is provided a vehicle control system including a user terminal configured to determine whether to enter a first area with respect to a vehicle using a satellite navigation system signal and request wake-up signal transmission when entering the first area, a server configured to transmit a wake-up signal to the vehicle in response to the wake-up signal transmission request from the user terminal, and a processor configured to switch operation modes of a Bluetooth module of the vehicle and an audio video navigation and telematics (AVNT) from a first mode to a second mode in response to the wake-up signal.
Claims14
A vehicle control system comprising:
- a user terminal configured to determine whether to enter a first area with respect to a vehicle using a satellite navigation system signal and request a wake-up signal transmission when entering the first area;
- a server configured to transmit a wake-up signal to the vehicle in response to the wake-up signal transmission request from the user terminal;
- and
- a processor configured to switch operation modes of a Bluetooth module of the vehicle and an audio video navigation and telematics (AVNT) from a first mode to a second mode in response to the wake-up signal,
- wherein the user terminal is connected to the Bluetooth module of the vehicle that operates in the second mode when entering a second area with respect to the vehicle, wherein the first area and the second area have ranges set with respect to the vehicle by the processor or the user terminal, and the range of the first area is wider than that of the second area, and wherein the range of the first area is set using a time for the Bluetooth module of the vehicle and the AVNT to switch to the second mode and a walking speed.
A vehicle control method comprising:
- determining, by a user terminal, whether to enter a first area with respect to a vehicle using a satellite navigation system signal;
- requesting, by the user terminal, a server to transmit a wake-up signal when it is determined that the user terminal has entered the first area;
- transmitting, by the server, the wake-up signal to the vehicle in response to the wake-up signal transmission request from the user terminal;
- and
- switching, by a processor of the vehicle, operation modes of a Bluetooth module of the vehicle and an audio video navigation and telematics (AVNT) from a first mode to a second mode in response to the wake-up signal, and
- connecting the user terminal to the Bluetooth module of the vehicle that operates in the second mode when entering a second area with respect to the vehicle,
- wherein the first area and the second area have ranges set with respect to the vehicle by the processor or the user terminal, and the range of the first area is wider than that of the second area, and
- wherein the range of the first area is set using a time for the Bluetooth module of the vehicle and the AVNT to switch to the second mode and a walking speed.
