Abstract
A user interface providing apparatus configured for platooning of a vehicle may include a touch screen display, a sensor detecting an external object of the vehicle, a communication circuit communicating with an outside, and a control circuit electrically connected to the touch screen display and the sensor. The control circuit is configured to display a first object corresponding to the vehicle and a second object corresponding to an external vehicle detected by the sensor, on the touch screen display, to receive a touch input associated with the second object, using the touch screen display, and to make a request for joining in a platooning group, to the external vehicle via the communication circuit in a response to the touch input.
Claims16
A user interface providing apparatus for platooning of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen display;
- a sensor configured to detect an external object of the vehicle;
- a communication circuit configured to communicate with an outside thereof;
- and
- a controller electrically connected to the touch screen display, the sensor and the communication circuit,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- display a first object corresponding to the vehicle and a second object corresponding to an external vehicle detected by the sensor with an image of a road, on the touch screen display;
- receive a touch input associated with the second object, using the touch screen display;
- and
- make a request for joining in a platooning group, to the external vehicle via the communication circuit in a response to the touch input, and
- wherein when the request is approved by the external vehicle, the controller is configured to control the vehicle to join in the platooning group, and
- wherein when the external vehicle is detected, the controller is configured to display a guide facing from the first object to the second object on the touch screen display.
A user interface providing method of platooning of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- displaying, by a controller, a first object corresponding to the vehicle and a second object corresponding to an external vehicle with an image of a road;
- receiving, by the controller, a touch input associated with the second object;
- making, by the controller, a request for joining in a platooning group, to the external vehicle in a response to the touch input;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, when the request is approved by the external vehicle, the vehicle to join in the platooning group,
- wherein when the external vehicle is detected, displaying, by the controller, a guide facing from the first object to the second object on the touch screen display.
A user interface providing apparatus for platooning of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen display;
- a communication circuit configured to communicate with an outside thereof;
- and
- a controller electrically connected to the touch screen display and the communication circuit,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- display a first object corresponding to the vehicle and a second object corresponding to a leading vehicle included in a platooning group with an image of a road, on the touch screen display;
- receive a touch input associated with the first object, using the touch screen display;
- and
- make a request for withdrawing from the platooning group, to the leading vehicle via the communication circuit in a response to the touch input, and
- wherein when the request is approved by the leading vehicle, the controller is configured to release the platooning, and
- wherein when at least two touch inputs to one point of the touch screen display is received, the controller is configured to display a guide facing from a region indicating a driving lane of the vehicle to a region indicating an adjacent lane of the driving lane or a guide facing a rear of the first object, on the touch screen display.
