Abstract: Provided is a network global positioning system (GPS) terminal. The network GPS terminal includes: a GPS receiver receiving GPS data; a GPS processor processing the received GPS data to a predetermined form; a network communication part communicating with an external apparatus through a network in order to receive a request for the GPS data from the external apparatus, and transmit the processed GPS data to the external apparatus in response to the request; a security access controller authenticating the external apparatus; and a network management part managing connection information and security information of the external apparatus, the network communication part simultaneously communicating with at least one external apparatus using a TCP/IP protocol. A method of providing GPS data using a network is also provided.

Abstract: Provided is a user interface apparatus that can control a telematics terminal safely and comfortably while driving, by recognizing a hand gesture image received through a camera in the telematics terminal as a corresponding control signal, and a method thereof. The interface apparatus using a hand gesture recognition, includes: an input receiving block for receiving a command registration request signal and a command selection signal; a hand gesture recognizing block for storing the hand gesture image in connection with a specific command, and transforming the hand gesture image into the corresponding command by recognizing the hand gesture image from the image obtained in the image obtaining block; and a command performing block for performing an operation corresponding to a command transformed in the hand gesture recognizing block.

Abstract: Provided are a system and method for informing a vehicle accident using a telematics device. In an emergency, such as vehicle collision, etc., the system and method propagate information on the accident to vehicles around the accident scene, thereby informing the vehicles of traffic congestion. Since the vehicles continuously inform the same to vehicles behind through ad-hoc communication, a vehicle guided by a telematics device can recognize the traffic congestion ahead, re-search for a path, and thereby make a detour. Therefore, although vehicles behind the accident scene cannot see the occurrence of the accident on a foggy highway, etc., the risk of a chain-reaction crash is reduced. In addition, it is possible to avoid traffic congestion due to an accident in downtown.
