  • Patent number: 7046130
    Abstract: A system for mediating safety drive information is provided, wherein a family or a managing company of a vehicle driver is able to confirm the safety of the driver with ease with a cellular phone or the like. The system comprises safety drive detecting terminals each installed in a vehicle for detecting the drive state with a plurality of sensors; user's safety confirming terminals each included in a predetermined contact address; and a safety drive information mediating apparatus, which judges whether or not a vehicle is in the safety drive state, after receiving detected sensor data from the safety drive detecting terminal by wireless, and then supplies either a message of the occurrence of an abnormal state or a message of a safety drive to the user's safety confirming terminal, in response to the confirmation of an abnormal drive state or a safety drive along with the receipt of a request of confirming the safety drive from the user's safety confirming terminal.
