Abstract: An apparatus for diagnosing failure of an inverter includes switches coupled to three phases of A, B, and C, respectively. The apparatus also includes a measurer configured to measure each of the output currents of the three phases. The apparatus also includes a comparison processor configured to receive the output currents measured by the measurer and compare the received output currents with a set value. The apparatus also includes a failure determination processor configured to detect a switch having an output current equal to or smaller than the set value based on the comparison performed by the comparison processor to determine the switch as faulty. The failure determination processor is also configured to, upon detecting faulty switch, identify which phase switch is faulty to change the duty ratio of the switch determined to be faulty and to perform phase shift on switches not determined to be faulty.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus of controlling an operation of a side and rear watching camera monitor system of a vehicle are provided. The method and apparatus provide side and rear information based on a user's convenience and request by receiving a request signal for securing of side and rear visual fields of a user as well as vehicle driving and displaying side and rear visual fields on a display unit according to user's necessity. More particularly, the side and rear watching camera monitor system displays a side and a rear visual field image to a driver even when the driver unlocks a door using a smart key, exits the vehicle that is not turned on, and turns on the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle side and rear monitoring system with a fail-safe function and a method thereof are provided. The system provides a fail-safe function for safe driving of a vehicle when an abnormality occurs in a side monitoring system of the vehicle, and a technique that provides a continuous side field of view of the vehicle when an abnormality occurs in the side monitoring system in the vehicle equipped with an AVM system. In addition, the system and provides a technique that corrects the distortion of an image captured by an AVM camera and performs an image rotation transformation to provide the image captured by the AVM camera at the same angle as that provided by side-view cameras. Therefore, when an abnormality occurs in the side monitoring system, the vehicle side and rear monitoring system with a fail-safe function continuously provides the same image as captured by the side-view cameras.
