METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING GPS DATA USING NETWORK

摘要

A method and an apparatus for providing GPS(Global Positioning System) data using network are provided to provide GPS data to several vehicle devices using GPS data at the same time by using network in a vehicle. An apparatus for providing GPS(Global Positioning System) data using network comprises a GPS receiving unit(101), a GPS processing unit(103), a network unit(107), a security control unit(109), and a network control unit(113). The GPS receiving unit receives GPS data. The GPS processing unit processes the received GPS data into a predetermined form. The network unit receives request for GPS data from outer devices and communicates with the outer devices to transmit the processed GPS data to the outer devices in responding to the request. The security control unit certifies the outer devices. The network control unit checks contact information and security information of the outer devices. The network unit communicates with at least one outer device through TCP/IP protocol.
