  • Patent number: 11330672
    Abstract: A method of controlling a heat wire of a seat includes: a classification operation of determining whether or not a passenger rides on a vehicle; a calculation operation of calculating a difference with a target temperature by measuring a current temperature of the seat; and a heating operation of heating the heat wire of the seat by differently setting a heating rate so that the temperature of the seat reaches the target temperature up to a heating target time set differently depending on whether or not the passenger rides on the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11188077
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling driving of a vehicle includes a communicator that receives autonomous driving data of another vehicle, a sensor that obtains surrounding environment information and manual driving data of a subject vehicle, and a controller that obtains autonomous driving data of the subject vehicle based on the surrounding environment information and determines whether to switch to autonomous driving of the subject vehicle based on the autonomous driving data and manual driving data of the subject vehicle and the autonomous driving data of the another vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10028363
    Abstract: A method for controlling an in-vehicle lamp includes receiving a signal for supplying a power into an in-vehicle lamp, maintaining an amount of current flowing through the in-vehicle lamp below a first threshold level during an initial driving section after the power is supplied, and maintaining the amount of current flowing through the in-vehicle lamp below a second threshold level which is lower than the first threshold level after the initial driving section.

  • Patent number: 9500691
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting a disconnection of lamps are provided. The apparatus includes a power supply that is configured to supply power to a vehicle and a controller. The controller receives operation power for at least one lamp mounted within the vehicle and supplies the operation power to the at least one lamp. In addition, the controller measures an inrush current value generated from the at least one lamp for a plurality of time intervals and detects the disconnection of the at least one lamp based on the inrush current value.
