Patent number: 11908432Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia CorporationInventors: Hyun Woo Koo, Mun Jun Hur, Tae Ho Lee, Hyeo Jin Kim, Kwang Seung Heo, Kyowoong Choo
