Abstract
A device for controlling a vehicle includes a sensor that obtains state information of the vehicle, and a power controller which is configured to determine whether an activation condition of a dark current blocking control function is satisfied based on the state information of the vehicle, determines whether a power control mode is selected when the activation condition of the dark current blocking control function is not satisfied, and controls to cut off power supply to a dark current load based on the selected power control mode.
Claims18
An apparatus for controlling a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to obtain state information of the vehicle;
- and
- a power controller operatively connected to the sensor and configured to:
- receive the state information of the vehicle from the sensor;
- determine whether an activation condition of a dark current blocking control function is satisfied based on the state information of the vehicle;
- determine whether a power control mode is selected in response that the power controller concludes that the activation condition of the dark current blocking control function is not satisfied;
- and
- control to cut off power supply to a dark current load based on the selected power control mode.
A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, whether an activation condition of a dark current blocking control function is satisfied based on state information of the vehicle;
- determining, by the processor, whether a power control mode is selected in response that the activation condition of the dark current blocking control function is not satisfied;
- and
- controlling, by the processor, to cut off power supply to a dark current load based on the selected power control mode.
