Abstract
A device for controlling shift in a vehicle may include a data detector configured to detect data for a shift control and a controller configured to determine a short-term driving tendency of a driver using the data, determine a long-term driving tendency of the driver using the short-term driving tendency of the driver, and control shift in the vehicle in consideration of a running mode of the vehicle and the long-term driving tendency which are determined from the data.
Claims8
A device for controlling shift in a vehicle comprising:
- a data detector configured to detect data for shift control;
- and
- a controller configured to determine a short-term driving tendency of a driver using the data, determine a long-term driving tendency of the driver using the short-term driving tendency of the driver, and control shift in the vehicle in consideration of a running mode of the vehicle and the long-term driving tendency which are determined from the data,
- wherein the controller determines whether the running mode is a first mode,
- wherein when it is determined that the running mode is the first mode, the controller determines whether a long-term driving tendency index of the driver is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value,
- wherein when it is determined that the long-term driving tendency index of the driver is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference value, the controller changes the running mode to a second mode, and
- wherein when it is determined that the long-term driving tendency index of the driver is less than the predetermined reference value, the controller maintains the running mode as the first mode.

A method for controlling shift in a vehicle comprising:
- detecting data for shift control;
- determining a short-term driving tendency of a driver using the data;
- determining a long-term driving tendency of the driver using the short-term driving tendency of the driver;
- determining a running mode of the vehicle from the data;
- and
- controlling shift in the vehicle in consideration of the long-term driving tendency and the running mode of the vehicle,
- wherein the controlling of the shift in the vehicle includes determining whether the running mode is a first mode;
- wherein the controlling of the shift in the vehicle further includes determining whether a long-term driving tendency index of the driver is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value when it is determined that the running mode is the first mode,
- wherein the controlling of the shift in the vehicle further includes changing the running mode to a second mode when it is determined that the long-term driving tendency index of the driver is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference value, and
- wherein the controlling of the shift in the vehicle further includes maintaining the running mode as the first mode when it is determined that the long-term driving tendency index of the driver is less than the predetermined reference value.
