Abstract
A vehicle comprising a plurality of seats, a plurality of Bluetooth® modules to which Bluetooth® identification information, different from each other, is assigned, configured to perform pairing with a plurality of user terminals, wherein each of the plurality of Bluetooth® modules corresponds to each of the plurality of seats, a memory configured to store terminal identification information assigned to each of the plurality of user terminals and the Bluetooth® identification information assigned to each of the plurality of Bluetooth® modules, and a processor configured to be connected to the plurality of Bluetooth® modules and the memory.
Claims18
A vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of seats;
- a plurality of wireless communication modules to which wireless communication module identification information, different from each other, is assigned, and configured to perform pairing with a plurality of user terminals, wherein each of the plurality of wireless communication modules corresponds to each of the plurality of seats;
- a memory configured to store:
- terminal identification information assigned to each of the plurality of user terminals;
- and
- the wireless communication module identification information assigned to each of the plurality of wireless communication modules;
- a processor configured to be connected to the plurality of wireless communication modules and the memory,
- wherein, when pairing is completed between one of the plurality of wireless communication modules and one of the plurality of user terminals, the processor is configured to:
- determine a seat position of a paired user terminal based on the wireless communication module identification information;
- and
- generate a control command according to setting information stored in the paired user terminal;
- and
- a seat sensor provided in each of the plurality of seats configured to:
- detect a pressure by a driver or an occupant;
- and
- generate a seat signal according to the detected pressure:
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- determine the seat position of the paired user terminal based further on the seat signal;
- detect a change wireless communication signal strength detected by one of the plurality of wireless communication modules;
- and
- determine a movement of the seat position of the paired user terminal.
A control method of a vehicle comprising a plurality of wireless communication modules configured to perform pairing with a plurality of user terminals, the control method comprising:
- performing pairing between one of the plurality of wireless communication modules and one of the plurality of user terminals;
- determining a seat position of a paired user terminal based on wireless communication identification information;
- and
- generating a control command according to setting information stored in the paired user terminal;
- wherein the control method further comprises:
- detecting, by a sensor provided in each of the plurality of seats, a pressure by a driver or occupant;
- generating, by the seat sensor, a seat signal according to the detected pressure,
- determining the seat position of the paired user terminal based further on the seat signal;
- detecting a change in wireless communication signal strength detected by one of the plurality of wireless communication modules;
- and
- determining a movement of the seat position of the paired user terminal.
