Abstract
Disclosed herein is a control apparatus included in a vehicle in automated vehicle and highway systems, the control apparatus including: a steering wheel having at least one touch screen on which a screen for manipulating at least one of the functions of the vehicle is output In addition, a control unit determines an intention of the user related to a selection of any one of the functions of the vehicle and controls a screen for manipulating a function according to the determined intention of the user to be output.
Claims16
An apparatus configured to control a function of a vehicle and configured to be provided in the vehicle in automated vehicle and highway systems, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor unit obtaining sensor data related to a selection of any one of functions of the vehicle;
- a steering wheel having at least one touch screen on which a screen for manipulating at least one of the functions of the vehicle is output;
- and
- a control unit determining an intention of a passenger related to the selection of any one of the functions of the vehicle and controlling a screen for manipulating a function according to the determined intention of the passenger to be output,
- wherein the control unit determines the intention of the passenger using any one of the sensor data of the passenger, first context data which is pre-learned in relation to a situation in which the passenger selects any one of the functions of the vehicle, or second context data stored in a server that communicates with a plurality of other vehicles to learn a general situation in which any one of the functions of the vehicle is selected, and
- wherein the control unit controls a screen of a manipulation target related to information obtained through the sensor data to be output, determines the intention of the passenger based on the first context data and controls to output a screen for manipulating a function related to current situation among the functions of the vehicle using the first context data when the manipulation target related to the information obtained through the sensor data is not detected, and controls to output a screen for manipulating a function generally used in relation to the current situation among the functions of the vehicle based on the second context data when the function related to the current situation is not detected.
A method of controlling a function of a vehicle including an apparatus of controlling a vehicle in automated vehicle and highway systems, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a sensor unit, sensor data of a passenger related to a selection of any one of functions of the vehicle;
- determining, by a control unit, an intention of the passenger related to the selection of any one of the functions of the vehicle;
- and
- outputting, by a touch screen included in a steering wheel of the vehicle, a screen for manipulating a function consistent with the determined intention of the passenger,
- wherein the intention of the passenger is determined using any one of the sensor data of the passenger, first context data which is pre-learned in relation to a situation in which the passenger selects any one of the functions of the vehicle, or second context data stored in a server that communicates with a plurality of other vehicles to learn a general situation in which any one of the functions of the vehicle is selected, and
- wherein the outputting outputs a screen of a manipulation target related to information obtained through the sensor data, outputs a screen for manipulating a function related to current situation among the functions of the vehicle based on the first context data when the manipulation target related to the information obtained through the sensor data is not detected and the intention of the passenger is determined based on the first context data and outputs a screen for manipulating a function generally used in relation to the current situation among the functions of the vehicle based on the second context data when the function related to the current situation is not detected.
