In the present disclosure, the electronic device is configured to perform a first mode of displaying surrounding videos of the vehicle in a split screen through a digital rear mirror of the vehicle based on a motion related to stopping of the vehicle, and to perform a preset second mode through the digital rear mirror while driving the vehicle. According to some example embodiments, in the first mode, the electronic device may recognize a predetermined object in at least one of the surrounding videos, and may output information on the object while displaying the split screen through the digital rear mirror. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An operating method of an electronic device mounted to a vehicle, the operating method comprising: performing a first mode of displaying surrounding videos of the vehicle in a split screen through a digital rear mirror of the vehicle based on a motion related to stopping of the vehicle; and performing a preset second mode through the digital rear mirror while driving the vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, wherein the surrounding videos include at least two of a front view video, a front-rear view video, a left-rear view video, and a right-rear view video of the vehicle. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, wherein the performing of the first mode is executed, immediately after the vehicle stops, if a preset period of time elapses from a point in time at which the vehicle stops, if the vehicle starts after stopping, if a speed of the vehicle decreases to be less than a predetermined threshold, or if the speed of the vehicle decreases to be less than the threshold and then increases to be greater than or equal to the threshold. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, wherein the performing of the first mode comprises: acquiring the surrounding videos through a plurality of camera devices, respectively; generating the split screen by arranging the surrounding videos in a preset array; and displaying the split screen through the digital rear mirror. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, wherein the performing of the first mode is executed after switching the digital rear mirror to a display state if the digital rear mirror is in a mirror state. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, wherein the performing of the second mode is executed, if the vehicle starts, if a preset speed is reached after starting the vehicle, or if a preset period of time elapses after starting the vehicle. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, wherein the performing of the second mode comprises driving the digital rear mirror in a mirror state. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, wherein the performing of the second mode comprises displaying at least one surrounding video of the vehicle through the digital rear mirror. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, further comprising: determining stopping of the vehicle and driving of the vehicle using state information of the vehicle, wherein the state information includes at least one of speed information, operation information of a brake pedal, operation information of an accelerator pedal, and location information. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The operating method of claim 1, wherein the performing of the first mode comprises: recognizing a predetermined object in at least one of the surrounding videos; and outputting information on the object while displaying the split screen through the digital rear mirror, the object includes at least one of a person, a thing, a thing approaching the vehicle, and a thing moving away from the vehicle, and information on the object includes at least one of the object's type, size, speed, and distance from the vehicle. ### Claim 11 An electronic device mounted to a vehicle, the electronic device comprising: a memory; and a processor configured to connect to the memory, and configured to execute at least one instruction stored in the memory, wherein the processor is configured to, perform a first mode of displaying surrounding videos of the vehicle in a split screen through a digital rear mirror of the vehicle based on a motion related to stopping of the vehicle, and perform a preset second mode through the digital rear mirror while driving the vehicle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the surrounding videos include at least two of a front view video, a front-rear view video, a left-rear view video, and a right-rear view video of the vehicle. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to perform the first mode, immediately after the vehicle stops, if a preset period of time elapses from a point in time at which the vehicle stops, if the vehicle starts after stopping, if a speed of the vehicle decreases to be less than a predetermined threshold, or if the speed of the vehicle decreases to be less than the threshold and then increases to be greater than or equal to the threshold. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein, in the first mode, the processor is configured to, acquire the surrounding videos through a plurality of camera devices, respectively, generate the split screen by arranging the surrounding videos in a preset array, and display the split screen through the digital rear mirror. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein, if the digital rear mirror is in a mirror state, the processor is configured to perform the first mode after switching the digital rear mirror to a display state. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to perform the second mode, if the vehicle starts, if a preset speed is reached after starting the vehicle, or if a preset period of time elapses after starting the vehicle. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein, in the second mode, the processor is configured to drive the digital rear mirror in a mirror state. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein, in the second mode, the processor is configured to display at least one surrounding video of the vehicle through the digital rear mirror. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to determine stopping of the vehicle and driving of the vehicle using state information of the vehicle, and the state information includes at least one of speed information, operation information of a brake pedal, operation information of an accelerator pedal, and location information. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The electronic device of claim 11, wherein, in the first mode, the processor is configured to, recognize a predetermined object in at least one of the surrounding videos, and output information on the object while displaying the split screen through the digital rear mirror, the object includes at least one of a person, a thing, a thing approaching the vehicle, and a thing moving away from the vehicle, and information on the object includes at least one of the object's type, size, speed, and distance from the vehicle.
