Abstract: A vehicle may include a display displaying a character input user interface to select at least one character among a selected character type; a touch input sensor detecting a touch; and a controller changing the selected character type based on a distance between two touch positions detected at the same time.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a display for displaying a keypad to receive a command through a touch gesture of a user, and a controller for determining an operable area for the user on the display based on a user's shoulder height and arm length, and for controlling the display to display the keypad in the operable area.

Abstract: An accident information management apparatus for acquiring accident associated information such as images stored in a black box (i.e., black box images) from a peripheral vehicle through direct communication between vehicles when an accident such as a traffic accident occurs, a vehicle including the accident information management apparatus, and a method for managing accident information are disclosed. The vehicle includes an antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements configured to transmit and receive a signal; and a beamformer configured to adjust a phase of the signal transmitted from the antenna elements so as to form a beam pattern focused in a specific direction; and a controller configured to focus the beam pattern onto a peripheral vehicle so as to control a communication unit to transmit a request signal of accident associated information. The antenna array and the beamformer are contained in the communication unit.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an image obtaining unit for obtaining an image of surroundings of the vehicle, a communication unit for receiving an image from at least one of a closed-circuit television (CCTV) and another vehicle in the surroundings of the vehicle, and a display unit for displaying the image obtained by the image obtaining unit and the CCTV image received from the communication unit or the image from the other vehicle received from the communication unit.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a sensor configured to obtain driving information of a driver; a controller configured to confirm a driving pattern of the driver based on the obtained driving information, and generate an output signal which outputs a recommended driving method corresponding to the confirmed driving pattern; and a communicator configured to directly transmit the generated output signal to adjacent vehicles.

Abstract: A vehicle providing an available parking space, includes a communicator configured to receive parking information, which includes at least one of image information collected by at least one external device located within a threshold from the vehicle, and information about a location of the external device from the external device. A display is configured to display information about the available parking space, which is extracted from the parking information received from the communicator.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a wireless communication unit for performing communication with an external device through a first communication link established with a base station, and a controller for controlling, if a shadow area is detected, the wireless communication unit to establish a second communication link with the base station through a multi-hop wireless network established with another vehicle existing around the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an image acquisition unit for acquiring an image about a surrounding of the vehicle, a travelling information acquisition unit for acquiring travelling information about the vehicle, a communication unit for transmitting the information acquired from the travelling information acquisition unit to a server and receiving information about an event related to the travelling of the vehicle from the server, and a control unit for notifying a driver of a possible change in a travelling environment of the vehicle according to the event based on the information about the event received from the communication unit.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a communication unit for forming a local area network with adjacent vehicles, wherein the vehicle is the center and configured to share information with the adjacent vehicles via the vehicle in response to a request of a terminal connected to the vehicle, and a display unit for displaying the shared information.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a communication unit including an antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements for transmitting and receiving a signal and a beamformer for forming a beam pattern focused in a specific direction by adjusting a phase of the signal transmitted from the plurality of antenna elements, and a controller for controlling the communication unit to transmit a request signal of accident associated information by focusing the beam pattern onto a peripheral vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle operating in accordance with a predetermined advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) control logic includes a sensing unit configured to acquire environment information of a given area, and a controller configured to change a setting value of the ADAS control logic based on the acquired environment information in real time and control the vehicle in accordance with the ADAS control logic using the changed setting value.

Abstract: A user interface apparatus includes a first user interface configured to display host information; and a second user interface configured to display guest information, and to transmit the guest information to the first user interface if a linking signal for the guest information is received, wherein the first user interface displays the guest information by changing the host information to the guest information. Therefore, by integrating a cluster which is a first user interface with a center fascia which is a second user interface to implement a large area screen, and linking information between the cluster and the center fascia, it is possible to reduce attention dispersion during driving, to improve a driver's recognition rate, and to improve a driver's convenience.

Abstract: A blind control system for a vehicle includes a touch screen configured to detect an input operation of a user and a position of the input, output a corresponding signal, and display an operated menu item, an accelerator pedal sensor configured to detect an operation of an accelerator pedal and output a corresponding signal, a storage configured to store a non-driving mode including a plurality of set menu items, and a driving mode including a plurality of set menu items; and a controller configured to selectively execute the non-driving mode or the driving mode stored in the storage according to an input signal of the accelerator pedal sensor, execute a corresponding menu item according to an input operation of the touch screen, and a position of the input when a currently executed mode is the non-driving mode or the driving mode.
