Abstract
A method of controlling an instrument panel (IP) device includes transmitting a vehicle identification number (VIN) to a telematics server through an IP application, receiving vehicle production information corresponding to the VIN from the telematics server, and displaying a button user interface (UI) classified as at least one group corresponding to the vehicle production information through the IP application.
Claims14
A method of controlling an instrument panel (IP) device, the method comprising:
- transmitting a vehicle identification number (VIN) to a telematics server through an IP application;
- receiving vehicle production information corresponding to the VIN from the telematics server;
- searching for a button user interface (UI) classified as at least one group using the received vehicle production information, wherein the button UI comprises an icon indicating a function of at least one electrical system installed in a vehicle;
- and
- displaying the button UI classified as the at least one group corresponding to the vehicle production information through the IP application,
- wherein the button UI is configured to variably adjust according to the vehicle production information.
