  • Patent number: 9438948
    Abstract: An AVN system of a vehicle includes a processor including a receiving unit that receives driving information of the vehicle, and receives mirroring data from an external wireless terminal through a wireless communication, a determining unit that determines whether or not the vehicle is moving, based on the driving information, and determines a type of the mirroring data, whether the mirroring data are movie data or non-movie data, a control unit that, upon the determining unit determining that the vehicle is not moving, outputs the mirroring data as they are regardless of the type of the mirroring data, and upon the determining unit determining that the vehicle is moving, outputs the mirroring data as they are only when the mirroring data are the non-movie data, and an output unit that outputs the mirroring data to a display device.

  • Patent number: 9340093
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an HVAC device for a vehicle includes a sensor unit mounted on the vehicle and configured to sense a bodily response of the user, an HVAC device control unit configured to control temperature and humidity inside the vehicle, and a control unit configured to control the HVAC device control unit based on the bodily response sensed by the sensor unit and to control temperature, direction, air volume, and speed of wind supplied inside the vehicle. The bodily response includes any one selected from the group consisting of body temperature, respiration volume, carbon dioxide amount in breath, voice, used words, facial expression of the user, and combinations thereof. The control unit is configured to calculate the discomfort index of the user based on the bodily response and to dynamically control the HVAC device control unit based on the discomfort index.

  • Patent number: 9302622
    Abstract: A control device for changing screen and audio of an AVN system includes a surrounding-state-information acquisition unit that acquires surrounding state information of a vehicle, an output unit that outputs the surrounding state information acquired by the surrounding-state-information acquisition unit, a gear-shifting-state sensing unit that senses a shifting state of a gear of the vehicle, a booting execution unit that performs an initial booting process for booting the AVN system when a system power is applied with a start of an engine of the vehicle, and a control unit that outputs the surrounding state information acquired by the surrounding-state-information acquisition unit from the output unit with priority over the initial booting screen and audio outputted by the booting execution unit when a reverse gear state is sensed by the gear-shifting-state sensing unit while the initial booting process is being performed by the booting execution unit.

  • Patent number: 9037908
    Abstract: A mirroring dongle includes an interface unit that makes a wired connection to an AVN system of a vehicle and a processor including a receiving unit that receives driving information of the vehicle from the AVN system through the interface unit, and receives mirroring data from an external wireless terminal through a wireless communication, a determining unit that determines whether or not the vehicle is moving, based on the driving information, and determines a type of the mirroring data, a control unit that, when the vehicle is not moving, outputs the mirroring data as they are regardless of the type of the mirroring data, and when the vehicle is moving, outputs the mirroring data as they are only when the mirroring data are the non-movie data, and an output unit that outputs the mirroring data to the AVN system through the interface unit.
