11. The system of claim 10, wherein the first meter and the first repeater communicate with each other through a near-field communication network, and the second meter and the second repeater communicate with each other through the near-field communication network.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the near-field communication network comprises at least one of a wireless local area network (WLAN), a power line communication (PLC) network, a Bluetooth network and a Zigbee network.
13. The system of claim 10, wherein the first and second repeaters communicate with the remote management server through a wide area communication network.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein the wide area communication network comprises at least one of a wireless LAN, an Internet network, a code division multiple access (CDMA) network, a personal communication service (PCS) network, a personal handyphone service (PHS) network, a wireless broadband Internet (Wibro) network and the PLC network.
15. The system of claim 10, wherein the information of the electric vehicle comprises at least one of charge information and general management information.
16. The system of claim 15, wherein the general management information comprises at least one of driving record information of the electric vehicle, component change information, video information photographed by a camera and burglar alarm information.
17. The system of claim 10, wherein the IHD device is configured to enable a user to input an electric vehicle control command.
18. The system of claim 17, wherein the electric vehicle control command is transferred to the electric vehicle via the second meter, the remote management server and the first meter.
19. The system of claim 17, wherein the electric vehicle control command comprises a command for controlling at least one of starting of the electric vehicle, openclose of window, onoff of a headlight and adjustment of internal temperature.
20. The system of claim 10, wherein the information of the electric vehicle comprises driving record information detected by at least a navigation device and video information photographed by a camera, and the IHD device reproduces a driving path and video of the electric vehicle based on the driving record information and the video information and then displays the reproduced driving path and video on a screen.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
