Method and device for automatically controlling vehicle start-up

An apparatus for automatically controlling vehicle start-up, which automatically controls the vehicle's start-up based on a driver's intention and a vehicle's control state by executing a program code loaded into one or more memory devices through at least one processor,

• wherein the program code is executed to:
• check setting of a vehicle start-up automatic control mode,
• in response that the vehicle start-up automatic control mode is activated, determine whether an operation condition of the vehicle start-up automatic control mode is satisfied,
• in response that the operation condition is satisfied, determine a first control condition for automatically starting the vehicle's start-up, and in response that the first control condition is satisfied,
• transmit a first start-up control signal for automatically starting the vehicle's start-up to a vehicle control unit (VCU),
• wherein the transmitting of the first start-up control signal includes:
• determining the vehicle's start-up state,
• in response that the vehicle's start-up state is in an OFF state, determining the states of the driver's door and a passenger's door,
• in response that states of the driver's door and the passenger's door are in a closed state, performing inside detection of a smart key,
• in response that the inside detection of the smart key is successful, determining whether a seating sensor is in a seated state or the driver's seat belt is in a fastened state,
• in response that the seating sensor is in the seated state or the driver's seat belt is in the fastened state, determining whether a gear is in a P position, and
• in response that the gear is in the P position, transmitting the first start-up control signal to the VCU.
