Vehicle, server, and method for controlling the same

A server, comprising:

• a communication device configured to communicate with a vehicle and a terminal for a user;
• and
• a controller, configured to, when at least one of schedule information of the user and use information of a vehicle sharing service is received by the terminal for the user,
• assign the vehicle to be provided with the vehicle sharing service to the user based on the received at least one piece of schedule information and position information of a plurality of the vehicles,
• operate the communication device to transmit identification information of the assigned vehicle to the terminal for the user, and
• operate the communication device to transmit user information, use information of the vehicle, and control authority information to the assigned vehicle,
• wherein the use information of the vehicle sharing service includes user information of each time zone, and a use of the vehicle, a use start time, a use end time, a riding position and a return position for each of the users, and,
• wherein the use of the vehicle includes travelling, storing goods, transporting goods, and resting,
• wherein, when the use of the vehicle is travelling, the controller is configured to authorize operation of a plurality of electronic devices including a power system, a braking device, a steering device, a suspension device, and a transmission, and
• when the use of the vehicle is the resting, the controller is configured to authorize operation of a door and electronic devices for rest of the user, and limit operation of the power system, the braking device, the steering device, the suspension device, and the transmission,
• wherein the electronic devices for rest of the user include a seat adjustment member, a heating wire of a seat, an air conditioner, a radio, a window glass, a communication device and a terminal for the vehicle.

A method for controlling a vehicle, comprising:

• identifying, by a controller, a use corresponding to use information of a vehicle sharing service, when the use information of the vehicle sharing service is received by a communication device;
• identifying, by the controller, at least one function corresponding to the identified use based on information stored in a storage;
• authorizing, by the controller, operation corresponding to the identified at least one function;
• and
• limiting, by the controller, operation of remaining functions,
• wherein the use of the vehicle includes travelling, storing goods, transporting goods, and resting,
• wherein, the authorizing, by the controller, operation corresponding to the identified at least one function includes:
• authorizing, by the controller, operation of a plurality of electronic devices including a power system, a braking device, a steering device, a suspension device, and a transmission, when the identified use of the vehicle is the travelling, and
• authorizing, by the controller, operation of a door and electronic devices for rest of the user, when the identified use of the vehicle is the resting,
• wherein, the limiting, by the controller, operation of remaining functions includes:
• limiting, by the controller, operation of the power system, the braking device, the steering device, the suspension device, and the transmission, when the identified use of the vehicle is the resting, and
• wherein the electronic devices for rest of the user include a seat adjustment member, a heating wire of a seat, an air conditioner, a radio, a window glass, the communication device and a terminal for the vehicle.
