Abstract

An information sharing system for a vehicle includes: an emergency call system installed in the vehicle and operable to determine whether an accident involving the vehicle occurs; a navigation system installed in the vehicle and operable to determine a driving route for a user of the vehicle; a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal receiving unit receiving a GNSS signal transmitted from a GNSS satellite; and a GNSS signal distribution unit transmitting the received GNSS signal to the emergency call system and the navigation system.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information sharing system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
an emergency call system installed in the vehicle and operable to determine whether an accident involving the vehicle occurs; a navigation system installed in the vehicle and operable to determine a driving route for a user of the vehicle; a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal receiving unit receiving a GNSS signal transmitted from a GNSS satellite; and a GNSS signal distribution unit transmitting the received GNSS signal to the emergency call system and the navigation system.

2 . The information sharing system of claim 1 , wherein the emergency call system and the navigation system are connected to each other through a vehicle network of the vehicle.

3 . The information sharing system of claim 1 , wherein the emergency call system includes:
a first position information generation unit receiving the GNSS signal transmitted from the GNSS signal distribution unit and generating first position information of the vehicle based on the received GNSS signal; and a first vehicle information transmitting/receiving unit transmitting the generated first position information to the navigation system.

4 . The information sharing system of claim 3 , wherein the emergency call system further includes:
a first accident information collection unit collecting first accident information of the vehicle; an accident occurrence determining unit determining whether the accident occurs based on the collected first accident information; a rescue requirement unit transmitting the first accident information and the first position information to an accident-processing organization; and a battery unit supplying power to the emergency call system.

5 . The information sharing system of claim 1 , wherein the navigation system includes:
a second position information generation unit receiving the GNSS signal transmitted from the signal distribution unit and generating second position information of the vehicle based on the received GNSS signal; and a second vehicle information transmitting/receiving unit transmitting the generated second position information to the emergency call system.

6 . The information sharing system of claim 5 , wherein the navigation system further includes:
a second accident information collection unit collecting second accident information of the vehicle, wherein the second vehicle information transmitting/receiving unit transmits the second position information and the second accident information to the emergency call system.

7 . An information sharing method for a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving, at a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal receiving unit, a GNSS signal transmitted from a GNSS satellite; and transmitting, by a GNSS signal distribution unit, the received GNSS signal to an emergency call system installed in the vehicle and a navigation system installed in the vehicle, wherein the emergency call system is operable to determine whether an accident involving the vehicle occurs, and the navigation system is operable to determine a driving route for a user of the vehicle.
