Abstract
A battery information guide device and a method therefor include a display and at least one processor electrically connected to the display. The at least one processor is configured to display information related to a first distance to empty (DTE) on the display based on official fuel efficiency and a state of charge (SOC), receives information related to a speed limit on a road, when the at least one processor concludes that a vehicle enters the road, displays information related to a second DTE expected when the vehicle travels at the speed limit on the display, and displays information related to a third DTE determined based on an instantaneous vehicle speed of the vehicle, when a vehicle speed of the vehicle is greater than the speed limit.
Claims20
A battery information guide apparatus, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- at least one processor electrically connected to the display,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- displays information related to a first distance to empty (DTE) on the display based on official fuel efficiency and a state of charge (SOC),
- receives information related to a speed limit on a road, based on whether that the at least one processor concludes that a vehicle enters the road,
- determines whether a vehicle speed of the vehicle is greater than the speed limit, displays information related to a second DTE based on that the vehicle speed of the vehicle is equal to or less than the speed limit, on the display,
- displays information related to a third DTE based on that the vehicle speed of the vehicle is greater than the speed limit, and
- wherein the second DTE is determined based on an average vehicle speed in a certified highway mode and the third DTE is determined based on an instantaneous vehicle speed of the vehicle.
A battery information guide method, comprising:
- displaying, by at least one processor, information related to a first distance to empty (DTE) on a display based on official fuel efficiency and a state of charge (SOC);
- receiving, by the at least one processor, information related to a speed limit on a road, based on that the at least one processor concludes that a vehicle enters the road;
- determining, by the at least one processor, vehicle speed of the vehicle is greater than the speed limit;
- displaying, by the at least one processor, information related to a second DTE based on a that the vehicle speed of the vehicle is equal to or less than the speed limit, on the display;
- displaying, by the at least one processor, information related to a third DTE based on whether that the vehicle speed of the vehicle is greater than the speed limit, and
- wherein the second DTE is determined based on an average vehicle speed in a certified highway mode and the third DTE is determined based on an instantaneous vehicle speed of the vehicle.
