  • Patent number: 11822693
    Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed, including a sensor module configured to recognize boarding and alighting of a passenger from the vehicle, a network interface configured to communicate with a mobile device disposed in the vehicle, a memory, storing a program including one or more instructions, and a processor. The processor implements a method, including: detecting alighting of the passenger using the sensor module, or when a mobile device disconnects from the network interface, determining, by the processor, a deletion level for data related to personal information of a passenger, the deletion level based on a use history information of the passenger, including a latest use time and a use frequency, and deleting the data from the memory according to the determined deletion level.

  • Patent number: 8904902
    Abstract: A unique motor type motor driven column apparatus may include a motor attached to a telescoping tube that slidably receives a column tube therein, wherein the telescoping tube may be pivotally coupled with a vehicle body by a tilt bracket, an actuating rod rotating by the motor, a tilt mechanism including a tilt clutch receiving the actuating rod therethrough and selectively engaged therebetween by a motor controller such that a rotation force of the actuating rod may be converted into a linear movement of the tilt mechanism to make a tilt motion of the column tube, and a telescoping mechanism including a telescoping clutch receiving the actuating rod therethrough and selectively engaged therebetween by the motor controller such that a rotation force of the actuating rod may be converted into a linear movement of the telescoping mechanism so as to make a telescoping motion of the column tube.

  • Patent number: 8376402
    Abstract: A lower type motor-driven column apparatus includes a tilt unit having a column tube and a tilt link forming a plurality of hinge fixed points in order to tilt up/down a steering wheel by vertical motion generated with rotation due to straight motion of a tilt rod through a tilt motor, a telescopic unit implementing telescopic movement pushing or pulling the column tube by means of straight motion of a tele-rod through a tele-motor, and a shock-absorbing member absorbing and attenuating a shock stroke of the column tube, ahead of the tilt unit and the telescopic unit, in which the operation mechanism of the tilt unit and the operation mechanism of the telescopic unit are individually implemented, such that the MDPS can be easily used for middle-sized and large-sized vehicles which are difficult to use the upper type and it is possible to save fuel of the middle-sized and large-sized vehicles.
