Abstract: A vehicle information backup unit is disclosed. The vehicle information backup unit may be connected to a first telematics unit, store at least one information item received from the first telematics unit through in-vehicle communication, and configured to make a backup of the at least one information in response to a preset event.

Abstract: A method for providing telematics communications is provided comprising: sending an ignition-on message to a switching server by a telematics device, when an ignition is turned on; sending a switching phone list to the telematics device by the switching server; sending to the switching server, by the telematics device, information about a mobile terminal that a driver or passenger selects from the switching phone list and an authentication number that the driver or passenger inputs; and sending a switching setting result to the mobile terminal by the switching server after performing user authentication by using the authentication number and performing switching setting to allow a telephone number assigned to the selected mobile terminal to be switched to that of the telematics device.

Abstract: A system for displaying fuel efficiency of a vehicle on a terminal and a method thereof are provided. The system for displaying fuel efficiency on a terminal, includes: a vehicle terminal calculating average fuel efficiency of a vehicle using vehicle data; and a vehicle information center averaging average fuel efficiencies of respective vehicles of the same vehicle type when the average fuel efficiencies of a plurality of vehicles are received from respective vehicle terminals of the plurality of vehicles to calculate and transmit a reference average fuel efficiency to each of the respective vehicles, in which the vehicle terminals compare the average fuel efficiencies with the reference average fuel efficiency and display the comparison result on a screen, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention provides a traffic information providing system and terminal and a method of providing traffic information. More specifically, the traffic information providing system includes a first module, within a vehicle, which is configured to receive a range associated with a route calculated by a terminal from a web server, wherein a plurality of ranges are previously set based on a traveling route, a specific region and a present position. Additionally the present invention also includes a second module that is configured to receive a traffic information request for any one of a plurality of ranges from the terminal via a command. A third module is configured to collect traffic information within the provided range corresponding to the command. Upon doing so the second module transmits the traffic information collected by the third module to the traffic information providing terminal to be conveyed to the driver.

Abstract: Provided is a system for providing point of interest (POI) information includes a database configured to store the POI information corresponding to a name and identification information of each POI; a data communication module configured to extract the name and the identification information of the POI, which is extracted from a particular website by a first terminal and stored in a user designated path; and a control module configured to extract, from the database, the POI information corresponding to the name and the identification information of the POI extracted by the data communication module and transmit the POI information to the first terminal or a second terminal that is pre-defined.

Abstract: A combination Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) terminal and rear view mirror for vehicles is disclosed. The rear view mirror includes a Radio Frequency (RF) antenna, and an ETC module. The RF antenna is fastened to the upper end of a stay in order to transmit and receive RF signals to and from an RF module, which is provided in a tollgate gantry. The ETC module is connected with the RF antenna using a wire, and is mounted in a housing. Thus, the uninterrupted transmission and reception of RF signals between the ECT terminal and the RF module can be stably performed even when a vehicle passes through a tollgate at a high speed.
