Abstract
An apparatus for checking a rear lamp includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor is disposed in at least one rear lamp and configured to obtain a first signal generated from the outside. The controller is configured to turn on the at least one rear lamp according to the first signal.
Claims10
An apparatus for checking a rear lamp, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor disposed in at least one rear lamp and configured to obtain a first sound wave signal corresponding to a tap operation on the at least one rear lamp;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- turn on the at least one rear lamp according to the first sound wave signal;
- determine whether the second sound wave signal is stored before comparing the first sound wave signal with the pre-stored second sound wave signal;
- enter into a signal storing mode if it is determined that the second sound wave signal is not stored;
- and
- store the first sound wave signal received from the sensor as the second sound wave signal,
- wherein the controller is configured to perform a user authentication with authentication information received from the outside, complete the user authentication upon determination that user authentication information received from an electronic device and pre-stored authentication information are identical, and activate the sensor by activating a rear lamp checking mode upon completion of the user authentication.

A method for checking a rear lamp, comprising:
- obtaining, from a sensor disposed in at least one rear lamp, a first sound wave signal corresponding to a tap operation on the at least one rear lamp;
- turning on the at least one rear lamp according to the first sound wave signal, wherein the turning on of the at least one rear lamp comprises:
- comparing the first sound wave signal with a pre-stored second sound wave signal;
- and
- turning on the rear lamp when the first sound wave signal and the second sound wave signal are identical;
- completing a user authentication when user authentication information received from the outside and pre-stored authentication information are identical before obtaining the first sound wave signal from the sensor;
- activating the sensor by activating a rear lamp checking mode after completing the user authentication;
- determining whether the second sound wave signal is stored before comparing the first sound wave signal with the pre-stored second sound wave signal;
- entering into a signal storing mode if it is determined that the second sound wave signal is not stored;
- and
- storing the first sound wave signal received from the sensor as the second sound wave signal.

A system for checking a rear lamp, the system comprising:
- an electronic device storing user authentication information;
- at least one rear lamp including at least one sensor configured to obtain a first sound wave signal corresponding to a tap operation on the at least one rear lamp;
- and
- a checking device configured to perform a user authentication by user authentication information received from the electronic device, and control turning on/off of the rear lamp upon determination that the first sound wave signal obtained from the sensor and a pre-stored second sound wave signal are identical,
- wherein the electronic device comprises a controller configured to:
- determine whether the second sound wave signal is stored before comparing the first sound wave signal with the pre-stored second sound wave signal;
- enter into a signal storing mode if it is determined that the second sound wave signal is not stored;
- and
- store the first sound wave signal received from the sensor as the second sound wave signal, and
- wherein the checking device is configured to perform a user authentication with authentication information received from the outside, complete the user authentication upon determination that user authentication information received from an electronic device and pre-stored authentication information are identical, and activate the sensor by activating a rear lamp checking mode upon completion of the user authentication.

A system for checking a rear lamp, the system comprising:
- a plurality of rear lamps including at least one sensor configured to obtain a first sound wave signal corresponding to a tap operation on one of the plurality of rear lamps which includes the at least one rear lamp;
- and
- a checking device configured to perform a user authentication by user authentication information inputted through an input, and control turning on/off of at least the one of plurality of the rear lamps upon determination that the first sound wave signal received from the sensor and a pre-stored second sound wave signal are identical;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine whether the second sound wave signal is stored before comparing the first sound wave signal with the pre-stored second sound wave signal;
- enter into a signal storing mode when it is determined that the second sound wave signal is not stored;
- and
- store the first sound wave signal received from the sensor as the second sound wave signal,
- wherein the checking device is configured to perform a user authentication with authentication information received from the outside, complete the user authentication upon determination that user authentication information received from an electronic device and pre-stored authentication information are identical, and activate the sensor by activating a rear lamp checking mode upon completion of the user authentication.
