Abstract
A vehicle is provided to analyze a signal received by a communicator and identify a first electronic device that transmits the received signal and a second electronic device that will transmit the received signal. The vehicle identifies a lighting algorithm that corresponds to an analysis result of the received signal and sequentially turns on a plurality of lighting devices based on the identified lighting algorithm.
Claims14
A vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of lighting devices;
- a storage configured to store identification information and position information of the plurality of lighting devices, wherein the position information of the plurality of lighting devices includes distance information between the plurality of lighting devices and direction information between the plurality of lighting devices;
- an external device;
- a plurality of internal electronic devices;
- a communicator configured to communicate with the external electronic device and the plurality of internal electronic devices;
- and
- a controller configured to receive and transmit information to and from the communicator and:
- analyze a signal received by the communicator and identify information about a first electronic device that has transmitted the received signal,
- sequentially control the lighting of the plurality of lighting devices in a first direction based on the position information of the plurality of lighting devices stored in the storage when the first electronic device is the external electronic device, and
- sequentially control the lighting of the plurality of lighting devices in a second direction based on the position information of the plurality of lighting devices stored in the storage when the first electronic device is one of the plurality of internal electronic devices and the first electronic device transmits the signal to the external electronic device,
- wherein the first direction and the second direction are different from each other.

A vehicle, comprising:
- a body;
- a plurality of lighting devices provided inside the body;
- a storage configured to store identification information and position information of the plurality of lighting devices, wherein the position information of the plurality of lighting devices includes distance information between the plurality of lighting devices and direction information between the plurality of lighting devices,
- a plurality of electronic devices provided inside the body;
- an external device;
- a communicator configured to communicate with the external electronic device and the plurality of internal electronic devices within the body;
- and
- a controller configured to receive and transmit information to and from the communicator and configured to sequentially control lighting of the plurality of lighting devices in response to whether a signal is transmitted during communication with the external device,
- wherein the controller configured to sequentially control the lighting of the plurality of lighting devices in a first direction based on the position information of the plurality of lighting devices stored in the storage when a signal is received from the external electronic device, and
- sequentially control the lighting of the plurality of lighting devices in a second direction based on the position information of the plurality of lighting devices stored in the storage when one of the plurality of internal electronic devices transmits the signal to the external electronic device,
- wherein the first direction and the second direction are different from each other.
