The method includes identifying user information of a passenger within the inside door, opening the inside door based on a result of a comparison between a stop location of the vehicle and a destination location corresponding to the user information, determining whether a passenger within the getting-off zone is a getting-off target, and opening the outside door based on a result of the determination. The vehicle to which the present disclosure is applied may be associated with a given artificial intelligence (AI) module, a drone, an unmanned aerial vehicle, a robot, an augmented reality (AR) module, a virtual reality (VR) module, and a 5th generation (5G) mobile communication apparatus, etc. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of opening or closing a door of a vehicle comprising a getting-off zone partitioned by an inside door and an outside door, the method comprising: identifying user information of a passenger within the inside door; opening the inside door based on a result of a comparison between a stop location of the vehicle and a destination location corresponding to the user information; determining whether a passenger within the getting-off zone is a getting-off target; and opening the outside door based on a result of the determination. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the inside door is provided between an internal space of the vehicle and the getting-off zone, and the outside door is provided between an outside of the vehicle and the getting-off zone. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying of the user information comprises identifying the user information when the vehicle stops. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying of the user information comprises identifying the user information using a sensor positioned in an internal space of the vehicle. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the sensor comprises at least one of a face recognition sensor, a fingerprint recognition sensor, an iris recognition sensor, an image recognition sensor, and a near field communication (NFC) sensor. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the opening of the inside door based on the result of the comparison between the stop location of the vehicle and the destination location corresponding to the user information comprises: identifying the destination location corresponding to the user information with reference to a memory; and opening the inside door if the stop location of the vehicle is the destination location. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the opening of the inside door based on the result of the comparison between the stop location of the vehicle and the destination location corresponding to the user information comprises: identifying the destination location corresponding to the user information with reference to a memory; and opening the inside door if a distance between coordinates of the destination location stored in the memory and coordinates of the stop location obtained by a GPS module within the vehicle is within a preset distance. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the determining of whether the passenger within the getting-off zone is the getting-off target comprises: identifying the user information of the passenger using a sensor positioned in the getting-off zone; and determining the passenger within the getting-off zone to be the getting-off target based on an identity of the user information identified inside the inside door and the user information identified in the getting-off zone. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: closing the inside door when the passenger enters the getting-off zone; and opening the closed inside door if it is determined that the passenger within the getting-off zone is not a getting-off target. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the opening of the outside door comprises opening the outside door based on whether a dangerous object outside the vehicle is identified. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising: detecting an obstacle outside the vehicle; and identifying the obstacle as a dangerous object based on a moving direction and moving speed of the detected obstacle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a pick-up waiting signal from a guardian terminal corresponding to the user information if the user information is identified, Wherein the opening of the inside door comprises opening the inside door when the pick-up waiting signal is received. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the receiving of the pick-up waiting signal from the guardian terminal corresponding to the user information if the user information is identified comprises: receiving a terminal location from the guardian terminal; and receiving the pick-up waiting signal if a distance between the received terminal location and the destination location is within a preset distance. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a getting-off request signal, comprising a desired getting-off location, from the passenger; identifying a guardian terminal corresponding to the user information of the passenger; and transmitting a getting-off request message, comprising the desired getting-off location, to the guardian terminal and receiving a getting-off approval message from the guardian terminal; and opening the inside door based on a result of a comparison between the stop location of the vehicle and the desired getting-off location. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: detecting a danger using a sensor within the vehicle; and opening the inside door and the outside door when the danger is detected. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further comprising: identifying a guardian terminal corresponding to user information of each of all passengers within the vehicle when the danger is detected; and transmitting a danger guide message to each of the identified guardian terminals.
