Apparatus and method for cutting off dark current in vehicle

A method of reducing current-drainage from a battery of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• monitoring a network state of the vehicle;
• learning a vehicle usage pattern, the learning of the vehicle usage pattern comprising determining a usage pattern of the vehicle by time of each day of a week based on a monitoring result of the network monitoring, and the learning of the vehicle usage pattern comprising determining cut-off load ranges for respective sections of the usage pattern to store in a memory;
• and
• comparing a time point at which the vehicle is turned off to a time range of each of the sections and accordingly determining at least one power load to cut off.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions configured to cause a computer processor to perform operations comprising:

• monitoring a network state of a vehicle;
• learning a vehicle usage pattern, the learning of the vehicle usage pattern comprising determining a usage pattern of the vehicle by time of each day of a week based on a monitoring result of the network monitoring, and the learning of the vehicle usage pattern comprising determining cut-off load ranges for respective sections of the usage pattern to store in a memory;
• and
• comparing a time point at which the vehicle is turned off to a time range of each of the sections and accordingly determining at least one power load to cut off.
