Abstract
An apparatus for displaying a driving state of a vehicle, a system including the same and a method thereof is provided. The apparatus includes a processor that determines a change in a state of a lane change assistance function and controls a step-by-step notification based on the change in the state of the lane change assistance function, and a display controlled by the processor to display the step-by-step notification based on the change in the state of the lane change assistance function.
Claims18
An apparatus for displaying a driving state of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine a change in a state of a lane change assistance function;
- and
- control a step-by-step notification based on the change in the state of the lane change assistance function;
- and
- a display controlled by the processor and configured to display the step-by-step notification based on the change in the state of the lane change assistance function,
- wherein the state of the lane change assistance function includes at least one of:
- a first state in which the lane change assistance function is turned off;
- a second state in which the vehicle enters an operating section of the lane change assistance function;
- a third state in which a lane changeable condition is not met;
- a fourth state in which the lane changeable condition is met;
- a fifth state in which a lane change is possible;
- a sixth state in which a lane change cancel condition is met;
- or
- a seventh state in which a failure condition of the lane change assistance function is met,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- immediately perform the notification by using tactile outputs or auditory outputs together with visual outputs when a switch to the sixth state or the seventh state is performed;
- stop the tactile outputs or the auditory outputs;
- and
- maintain the visual outputs after a preset amount of time.

A method of displaying a driving state of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a change in a state of a lane change assistance function by using at least one of whether a sensor is in a normal operation, a lane changeable condition, or a lane change cancel condition;
- and
- outputting a step-by-step notification based on the change in the state of the lane change assistance function,
- wherein the state of the lane change assistance function includes at least one of:
- a first state in which the lane change assistance function is turned off;
- a second state in which the vehicle enters an operating section of the lane change assistance function;
- a third state in which a lane changeable condition is not met;
- a fourth state in which the lane changeable condition is met;
- a fifth state in which a lane change is possible;
- a sixth state in which a lane change cancel condition is met;
- or
- a seventh state in which a failure condition of the lane change assistance function is met,
- wherein the method further includes:
- immediately performing the notification by using tactile outputs or auditory outputs together with visual outputs when a switch to the sixth state or the seventh state is performed;
- stopping the tactile outputs or the auditory outputs;
- and
- maintain the visual outputs after a preset amount of time.
