Music selection system and method in a vehicle

A music selection method in a vehicle, comprising:

• collecting, by a processor, a vehicle traveling information, a vehicle exterior environment information, a vehicle interior environment information, and a driver state information as a value of at least one vehicle parameter provided by an information collection unit when a song is selected by a driver;
• analyzing and correlating, by the processor, all of the vehicle traveling information, the vehicle exterior environment information, the vehicle interior environment information, and the driver state information to identify a classification category;
• classifying, the processor, the selected song in the classification category;
• storing, by a storage unit, the classified song in a storage unit;
• playing, by the processor, the selected song and consecutively playing the other songs in the classification category, including the selected song;
• determining whether or not a second song is included in a same classification category as a first song when the second song is selected manually and forcibly while the first song is playing;
• continuing to play songs in the same classification category as the first song upon determining that the second song is included in the same classification category as the first song;
• playing the second song and stopping playing the first song when a determination is made that the second song is included in a different classification category than the first song;
• performing iteratively the collecting a value of at least one vehicle parameter provided by an information collection unit;
• storing the selected song;
• playing consecutively songs included in a classification category of the selected second song when the second, manually and forcibly selected, song is not stored in the same classification category as the first song,
• wherein the driver state information includes the driver's body temperature information and information about whether or not the driver is drowsy;
• and
• assigning, by the processor, a high reliability score to the analysis of the classification category of a song when the driver repeatedly selects the song under conditions when the value of the at least one vehicle parameter is the same, or similar.

A computer readable medium containing executable program instructions executed by a processor, comprising:

• program instructions that collect a vehicle traveling information, a vehicle exterior environment information, a vehicle interior environment information, and a driver state information as a value of at least one vehicle parameter provided by an information collection unit when a song is selected by a driver;
• program instructions that identify the selected song;
• program instructions that analyze and correlate all of the vehicle traveling information, the vehicle exterior environment information, the vehicle interior environment information, and the driver state information collected from at least one information collection unit and received by a processor at the time when the selected song is selected;
• program instructions that identify a classification category for the selected song;
• program instructions that store the selected song in the classification category in a storage unit;
• program instructions that determine whether or not a second song is included in a same classification category as a first song when the second song is selected manually and forcibly while the first song is playing;
• program instructions that continue to play songs in the same classification category as the first song when a determination is made that the second song is included in the same classification category as the first song;
• program instructions that play the second song and stopping playing the first song when a determination is made that the second song is included in a different classification category than the first song;
• program instructions that perform iteratively the collecting a value of at least one vehicle parameter provided by an information collection unit;
• program instructions that store the selected second song;
• program instructions that play consecutively songs included in a classification category of the selected second song when the second, manually and forcibly selected, song is not stored in the same classification category as the first song,
• wherein the driver state information includes the driver's body temperature information and information about whether or not the driver is drowsy;
• and
• program instructions that assign a high reliability score to the analysis of the classification category of a song when the driver repeatedly selects the song under conditions when the value of the at least one vehicle parameter is the same, or similar.
