Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of making payment in a vehicle. Forms of the method may include: determining, with a head unit (H/U), whether a user of the vehicle is either a main user or a sub user; receiving, with the H/U, location information of the vehicle; determining, with the H/U, a category of a point of interest (POI) and payment rights based on the location information of the vehicle and the user of the vehicle, wherein the category of the POI is determined based on the location information of the vehicle and the payment rights is predetermined depending on the category of the POI; and attempting to make payment, with the H/U, through a payment server based on the payment rights.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a driver status in a terminal which interworks with a vehicle head unit through local wireless communication includes receiving vehicle proceeding direction information from the vehicle head unit. Whether or not a driver's gaze deviates from a gaze stability area is determined using the vehicle proceeding direction information. A driver's gaze deviation warning message is transmitted to the vehicle head unit, upon determining that the driver's gaze deviates from the gaze stability area.

Abstract: A control method of a mobile terminal for receiving a geofence service of a vehicle from a vehicle management center includes: receiving location information of the vehicle from the vehicle management center, wherein the location information of the vehicle is transmitted to the vehicle management center from the vehicle when the vehicle is started; checking location information of the mobile terminal; and unsetting a function corresponding to a geofence alert event when the location information of the mobile terminal is calculated to be located within a predetermined distance from the location information of the vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of providing navigation-related information to a driver using a wearable device worn by the driver in a vehicle, and a vehicle capable of carrying out the same. An audio video navigation (AVN) system for providing navigation information using wearable device, may include: a wireless communication unit for wirelessly exchanging data with an external device, and a controller for controlling the wireless communication unit to transmit a signal corresponding to an event occurring in a navigation function to the wearable device such that a notice of the event is output as vibration through the wearable device when the wearable device capable of delivering the vibration to a wearer is connected through the wireless communication unit and a preset destination setting condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficiently outputting information on generation of an event in a vehicle, when multiple smart devices are connected to the vehicle. The method and apparatus implement outputting event information by an AVN system of a vehicle, using multiple smart devices by detecting generation of an event, determining priorities of the smart devices for outputting event information corresponding to the generated event, determining whether the smart devices are connected to the AVN system, and requesting only a smart device having a highest priority among the connected smart devices, to output the event information.

Abstract: A method for limiting linkage between devices may limit linkage between items that do not coincide with each other among items of service identifiers of a first device and a second device by comparing the service identifier of the first device and the service identifier of applications of the second device to each other is provided. The method includes receiving, by a second device, a service identifier transmitted by a first device, comparing, by the second device, the service identifier received from the first device to a service identifier of the second device and requesting, by the second device, to the first device to transmit information determined to be the same item. The method also includes receiving, by the second device, the requested information from the first device, including the item allowing the information provision.
