Abstract
A method for providing a broadcast signal frequency capable of determining an optimal broadcast signal frequency at an accurate location includes collecting vehicle data including location information and information related to a broadcasting function from a plurality of vehicles, determining, based on the vehicle data, a first frequency for receiving a first broadcasting channel with highest reception quality in a first location and a second frequency for receiving the first broadcasting channel with highest reception quality in a second location, and transmitting information on the first frequency and the second frequency to a first vehicle.
Claims12
A method for providing a broadcast signal frequency, comprising:
- collecting vehicle data including location information and information related to a broadcasting function from a plurality of vehicles;
- determining, based on the vehicle data, a first frequency for receiving a first broadcasting channel with highest reception quality in a first location and a second frequency for receiving the first broadcasting channel with highest reception quality in a second location;
- and
- transmitting information on the first frequency and the second frequency to a first vehicle,
- wherein the first vehicle is a vehicle having a history of receiving the first broadcasting channel, a vehicle currently receiving the first broadcasting channel, or a vehicle in which the first broadcasting channel is registered as a favorite broadcasting channel, and
- wherein the transmitting of the information on the first frequency and the second frequency to the first vehicle comprises:
- receiving destination information from the first vehicle;
- setting a route of the first vehicle based on the destination information, wherein the first location and the second location are two different locations on the set route;
- determining a change section in which a location of the first vehicle is changed from the first location to the second location on the set route;
- and
- transmitting information on the set route and information on the change section to the first vehicle,
- wherein the collecting of the vehicle data comprises:
- receiving a plurality of first reception qualities of the first frequency of the first broadcasting channel determined by the plurality of vehicles in the first location and a plurality of second reception qualities of the second frequency of the second broadcasting channel in the second location;
- accumulating and averaging the plurality of first reception qualities of the first frequency of the first broadcasting channel for a preset period;
- and
- accumulating and averaging the plurality of second reception qualities of the second frequency of the second broadcasting channel for the preset period, and
- wherein the determining of the first frequency and the second frequency comprises:
- determining the first frequency based on the accumulated and averaged first reception qualities of the first frequency of the first broadcasting channel;
- and
- determining the second frequency based on the accumulated and averaged second reception qualities of the second frequency of the second broadcasting channel.
17 more elements
A system for providing a broadcast signal frequency, comprising:
- a communicator configured to receive vehicle data including location information and information related to a broadcasting function from a plurality of vehicles;
- a storage device configured to store the vehicle data;
- and
- at least one processor configured to determine, based on the vehicle data, a first frequency for receiving a first broadcasting channel with highest reception quality in a first location and a second frequency for receiving the first broadcasting channel with highest reception quality in a second location and to control the communicator to transmit information on the first frequency and the second frequency to a first vehicle, wherein the first vehicle is a vehicle having a history of receiving the first broadcasting channel, a vehicle currently receiving the first broadcasting channel, or a vehicle in which the first broadcasting channel is registered as a favorite broadcasting channel,
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
- receive destination information from the first vehicle through the communicator,
- set a route based on the destination information, wherein the first location and the second location are two different locations on the set route,
- determine a change section in which a location of the first vehicle is changed from the first location to the second location on the set route, and
- control the communicator to transmit information on the set route and information on the change section to the first vehicle, and
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
- receive a plurality of first reception qualities of the first frequency of the first broadcasting channel determined by the plurality of vehicles in the first location and a plurality of second reception qualities of the second frequency of the second broadcasting channel in the second location,
- accumulate and average the plurality of first reception qualities of the first frequency of the first broadcasting channel for a preset period,
- accumulate and average the plurality of second reception qualities of the second frequency of the second broadcasting channel for the preset period,
- determine the first frequency based on the accumulated and averaged first reception qualities of the first frequency of the first broadcasting channel, and
- determine the second frequency based on the accumulated and averaged second reception qualities of the second frequency of the second broadcasting channel.
