## Abstract

A display apparatus and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The display apparatus provided in a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a memory; a display unit displaying one or more data areas on a screen; and a controller controlling the display unit to further display additional data area on the basis of at least one of recognition and identification of a passenger who boards on the vehicle.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device for displaying information of a vehicle, the display device comprising:
a display;
a memory configured to store registration information for a passenger, the registration information including weight data, voice recognition data, age data and gender data of the passenger;
a weight sensor configured to detect weight of the passenger sitting on a seat of the vehicle;
a microphone configured to receive a voice of the passenger sitting on the seat of the vehicle; and
a controller configured to:
cause the display to display a first data region, the first data region including driver data;
determine whether the detected weight of the passenger corresponds to the weight data included in the registration information;
when the detected weight of the passenger corresponds to the weight data, determine whether the received voice of the passenger corresponds to the voice recognition data included in the registration information; and
when the received voice of the passenger corresponds to the voice recognition data, determine a seat position of the passenger;
when the seat position of the passenger is not next to a seat of a driver of the vehicle, cause the display to continue to display the first data region and not display a second data region for providing data associated with the passenger; and
when the seat position of the passenger is next to the seat of the driver of the vehicle, cause the display to display the second data region for providing data associated with the passenger based on the registration information,
wherein the second data region provides the data differentially according to an age and a gender of the passenger based on the age data and the gender data of the passenger included in the registration information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to display a third data region including driving assist data,
wherein the first data region and the third data region are positioned to be viewable by the driver of the vehicle, and wherein the second data region is positioned to be viewable by the passenger.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display device according to claim 2, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to display at least one of the first data region or the third data region, and not display the second data region, when only the driver, and not any passengers, is present in the vehicle.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The display device according to claim 2, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to display at least one of the first data region or the third data region, and display the second data region, when the driver and the passenger are present in the vehicle.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The display device according to claim 2, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to change relative positions of the first data region, the second data region, and the third data region.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The display device according to claim 2, wherein the controller is further configured to:
reconfigure the first data region, the second data region, and the third data region according to a determined priority of either the driver or the passenger.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The display device according to claim 6, wherein the controller is further configured to:
adjust access authority of the display differently depending on the determined priority.
