A vehicle theft prevention system and a method thereof. The system
includes an Electronic Control Unit and a vehicle information terminal.
The ECU is mounted with a controller that generates a vehicle motion
detection message by receiving abnormal detection signals from various
sensors detecting the orientation and location of the vehicle and outputs
the message through a Control Area Network communication interface. A
vehicle information terminal includes a Central Processing Unit, constant
voltage circuit part, and CAN communication interface. The CPU is
equipped with a Global Positioning System module and mobile communication
module. The system thus constructed executes a vehicle motion informing
function to prevent vehicle theft even when the vehicle ignition key is
turned off.
