20090128324 | Method and apparatus for delivering data based on sensor network - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for delivering data based on a sensor network. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus for delivering data is provided in a means of transportation such as a vehicle, activates a node of a corresponding sensor network when a vehicle enters a road segment, and receives data from the transmission node. Then, the apparatus for delivering data calculates an optimum path along which the received data is delivered to a target destination, determines whether to use other vehicles or to directly deliver the data to the target destination on the basis of the calculated optimum path, and delivers the data to the target destination by the determined method. In this case, the target destination to which the data is delivered may be a different node of the same sensor network, or may be a node or a center of a different sensor network. | 05-21-2009 |
20100083035 | METHOD FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - Provided is a wireless communication method in a wireless sensor network environment. The method overhears a packet transmitted from a source sensor node to a destination sink node and determines whether the destination sink node receives the packet. A transmission node selected by using local information among a plurality of neighboring sensor nodes transmits the overheard packet to the destination sink node when the packet is not received. | 04-01-2010 |
20100134322 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING VEHICLES - An apparatus for detecting a vehicle includes a magnetic sensor that continuously obtains a magnetic signal varied due to movement of a vehicle; a gradient detecting unit that detects a gradient of the magnetic signal based on the obtained magnetic signal; and a vehicle status transitioning unit that generates status transition information of the vehicle based on the detected gradient. The apparatus further includes a vehicle coming-in/out determining unit that determines coming-in or coming-out of the vehicle based on the vehicle status transition information. | 06-03-2010 |
20100138100 | CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF - Provided is a cruise control system and method. A vehicle cruise control system collects state information of components inside and outside a vehicle, state information of a road on which the vehicle is provided, and drive pattern information of a driver of the vehicle, analyzes a mileage amount and an exhaust gas emission amount of the vehicle based on the collected state information of the components, the road state information, and the drive pattern information, calculates a cruise control speed based on the analysis result, and controls the vehicle to run at the cruise control speed. | 06-03-2010 |
20100141478 | ADAPTIVE COMMUNICATION METHOD AND SENSOR NODE FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD - Provided are an adaptive communication method and a sensor node for performing the same. The sensor node adaptively selects transmitted signal output strength and a wakeup zone of transmitted data based on a received signal strength indication of a control packet received from a sink node and existence of an obstacle acquired through a sensor, and transmits data based on the adaptive selection. Also, during an operation as a receive mode, the sensor node wakes up and determines whether to receive the data from the transmit node based on wakeup zone configuration information per sensor node received from the sink node and a wakeup zone selected by a sensor node currently operable as a transmit node. | 06-10-2010 |
20100142497 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING DATA AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING DATA - Provided is a method for minimizing energy consumption while increasing a data rate between sensor nodes in a sensor network. In the sensor network, a parent node receives reservation information from a first node among a plurality of child nodes in a first period and broadcasts channel allocation information of the first node according to the reservation information in the first period so that the first node performs the data transmission in a second period or third period and maintains a sleep mode until the first period ends. | 06-10-2010 |
20100156669 | METHOD FOR RUNNING VEHICLES DETECTING NETWORK AND SYSTEM THEREOF - Provided are a method for running a network for vehicle detection and a system thereof. Each vehicle detecting device is classified into a plurality of groups based on information provided from the vehicle detecting devices and control information that activates or deactivates components of the corresponding vehicle detecting devices is set for each group based on the information. Power of a signal transmitting the information is set for each vehicle detecting device. | 06-24-2010 |
20100156672 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTO VALET PARKING - Provided are a system and a method for auto valet parking. In the system and method, a parking slot of a target vehicle among a plurality of slots formed in a parking place is determined based on situation information on the parking place and a movement path based on information on current location of the target vehicle and information on the parking slot is determined. The target vehicle is automatically parked in the determined parking slot by moving along the movement path. | 06-24-2010 |
20100161128 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AUTOMATIC PARKING - An automatic parking control system includes a movable parking robot to load and carry a vehicle to be parked, a parking guide server for providing the parking robot with a moving path to the target parking space, and one or more posts, installed nearby an accessible parking area, for controlling a moving path of the parking robot in real time through communications with the parking robot. | 06-24-2010 |
20100260167 | TIME SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK - The present invention relates to a time synchronization method in a wireless sensor network. In the present invention, if an upper node requests a lower reference node to start time synchronization, the lower reference node broadcasts a first sync reference packet. The upper node receives the first sync reference packet and transmits the first sync reference packet reception time to the lower reference node. The lower reference node broadcasts the first sync reference packet reception time, such that the other nodes perform time synchronization on the basis of the first sync reference packet reception time. Meanwhile, the lower reference node estimates the first sync reference packet reception time of the upper node to calculate the reception estimation time, and transmits the reception estimation time to a determination node that is two hops anterior to the lower reference node. Therefore, the determination node compares the reception time received from the upper node and the reception estimation time received from the lower reference node and determines whether a capture attack on the upper node has occurred. | 10-14-2010 |
20100274429 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE GUIDING USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVER APPARATUS THEREFOR - An apparatus is for guiding a vehicle traveling of a vehicle by using information technology infrastructures. The apparatus includes: a control terminal for controlling the vehicle traveling; sensing devices that collect circumstance information of guidance areas desirous of guiding the vehicle by using the information technology infrastructures provided on the guidance areas; and a server device that recognizes a circumstance of the guidance areas to create a guidance route based on the collected circumstance information by the sensing device so that the control terminal controls the vehicle to travel along the guidance route. | 10-28-2010 |
