  • Patent number: 11908432
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for automatically controlling a screen brightness of an AVN system are provided to automatically change screen brightness in a user customized manner in a response to a change in illumination outside the vehicle. The apparatus include a screen brightness control module that controls such that a screen brightness of a display provided in the AVN system is automatically changed according to a change in the illumination data received from the illumination sensor, based on a default matching relationship between previously stored illumination data and screen brightness and a gain adjustment module that generates a new customized matching relationship by correcting the screen brightness matched to each illumination data based on the default matching relationship in accordance with an input of a user who adjusts to enhance or weaken the screen brightness and provides the screen brightness control module with the new customized matching relationship for screen brightness control.

  • Patent number: 11817026
    Abstract: A screen control apparatus of a vehicle and a method thereof are provided. The screen control apparatus includes: a sensing device that measures illumination; a brightness determining device that determines a brightness degree corresponding to the illumination from one or more illumination measurement data; and a controller that controls a screen brightness of a display depending on the determined brightness degree. The controller controls the screen brightness of the display, whenever the brightness degree is changed.

  • Patent number: 11772551
    Abstract: A screen control apparatus of a moving object, a method thereof, and a system thereof are provided. The screen control apparatus includes: a communication device that receives illumination measurement data measured by at least one information providing moving object from a server; an illumination score calculating device that calculates an illumination score for the received illumination measurement data; an illumination determining device that selects reference illumination measurement data depending on the illumination score and determine illumination; and a controller that controls a screen brightness on the basis of the determined illumination.

  • Patent number: 11393381
    Abstract: An image display method for preventing display colors from being distorted according to a viewing angle of a driver, and an image display method for a vehicle may include: tracking a sight line of a driver; determining an angle formed between a display and the sight line of the driver; loading a gain value corresponding to the determined angle from a prestored gain compensation table; applying the loaded gain value to image data displayed on the display; and displaying the image data to which the gain value has been applied on the display.
