20100153002 | ROUTE GUIDANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE USING TELEMATICS - Provided are a route guidance system and method for emergency vehicle using telematics. The route guidance system includes an instruction station, a vehicle telematics and a traffic signal controller. The instruction station sends destination information to an emergency vehicle for dispatch due to an occurrence of an emergency circumstance. The vehicle telematics is attached to the emergency vehicle, and searches a plurality of travel routes on the basis of the destination information to provide the shortest travel route. The traffic signal controller controls a corresponding traffic signal on the travel route before the emergency vehicle approaches on the basis of travel information sent from the vehicle telematics. | 06-17-2010 |
20100162224 | NODE UPDATE SYSTEM USING VIRTUAL PARTITION TECHNIQUE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - Provided are a node update system using virtual partition technique and a control method thereof. A storage region of a sensor node is divided into a non-updatable invariable region and an updatable variable region to be virtually generated according to an execution operation of the sensor node. The states of the sensor nodes are monitored, and an update request signal is transmitted to a corresponding sensor node when update is necessary. Execution image information is received, and the execution image information is stored in the variable region to update an execution image, according to a response signal to the update request signal. | 06-24-2010 |
20110151786 | ROUTING METHOD FOR GUARD LAMP USING SHORT DISTANCE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - Provided is a routing method for a guard lamp using a short distance wireless communication, the method including: performing, by a neighbor setup guard lamp, a neighbor setup operation; transferring, by the neighbor setup guard lamp, an initialization request message (Init_Request Message) to a neighbor guard lamp and receiving an initialization response message (Init-Rep Message) from the neighbor guard lamp to form a guard lamp network; receiving, by the neighbor setup guard lamp, a data message from the neighbor guard lamp; and repairing a path of the neighbor guard lamp having an error caused by a link loss at the receiving of the data message. | 06-23-2011 |
20120124902 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING GREENHOUSE AND SYSTEM FOR THE SAME - A method for controlling a greenhouse, which can adaptively control a greenhouse depending on the kind of crop growing in greenhouse provided.
