Vehicle key having memory and vehicle control method using the same

摘要

A vehicle key having a memory and a vehicle control method using the vehicle key is disclosed. The memory stores control information for management and control of the vehicle, and the vehicle includes a memory reader/writer in an ignition control. If the vehicle detects the vehicle memory key through the memory reader/writer, it loads control information from the vehicle memory key. Additional services provided in the vehicle are controlled using the control information. This maximizes the user's satisfaction with the additional services provided in the vehicle and also provides an improved driving environment to the driver. This induces the driver to safely drive and decreases accident risk due to manipulation of equipment in the vehicle while driving, which consequently reduces traffic accident rates.
