Abstract
The present invention relates to an external module comprising: an interface physically connected to a vehicle so as to exchange data with the vehicle; and a processor for receiving peripheral information of the vehicle and state information of the vehicle through the interface, acquiring the ADAS information, on the basis of the peripheral information of the vehicle and the state information of the vehicle, and performing control so as to allow a display inside the vehicle to display the ADAS information by transmitting the ADAS information, through the interface, to the vehicle.
Claims17
An external module comprising:
- an interface configured to connect to a vehicle for exchanging data with the vehicle;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive, via the interface, surrounding information of the vehicle and state information,
- acquire advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) information based on the surrounding information of the vehicle and the state information of the vehicle, and
- transmit to the vehicle, via the interface, the ADAS information for an internal display of the vehicle to display the ADAS information,
- wherein the external module is a portable device,
- wherein the ADAS information includes information on whether at least one ADAS function is available determined based on at least one of the surrounding information or the state information, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- transmit, via the interface, a control signal to the vehicle for indicating on the internal display of the vehicle that a certain ADAS function is currently unable to be provided to the vehicle,
- control the internal display of the vehicle to display information indicating a lane keeping assist system (LKAS) function is currently unable to be provided to the vehicle, and
- in response to receiving an input for selecting the LKAS function, control the internal display of the vehicle to display information on a camera for providing the LKAS function to the vehicle and information on installation of the camera.
A vehicle comprising:
- a sensor configured to acquire vehicle surrounding information;
- a display;
- an interface configured to connect to an external module for exchanging data with the external module;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- transmit, via the interface, the vehicle surrounding information to the external module,
- receive, via the interface, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) information based on the vehicle surrounding information from the external module, and
- control the display to display the ADAS information received from the external module,
- wherein the ADAS information includes information on whether at least one ADAS function is available determined based on the vehicle surrounding information, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- transmit, via the interface, a control signal to the vehicle for indicating on the internal display of the vehicle that a certain ADAS function is currently unable to be provided to the vehicle,
- control the internal display of the vehicle to display information indicating a lane keeping assist system (LKAS) function is currently unable to be provided to the vehicle, and
- in response to receiving an input for selecting the LKAS function, control the internal display of the vehicle to display information on a camera for providing the LKAS function to the vehicle and information on installation of the camera.
