  • Patent number: 9283964
    Abstract: A driving mode recommendation method stores driving mode information in a database for each customer and recommends a driving mode based on customer characteristic and environment analysis information. The method includes receiving a starting point and a destination from a terminal of a corresponding customer vehicle by a server. A route from the starting point to the destination is divided into sections according to a road type and a road form. It is determined whether the driving mode information is stored in the database for the divided sections. The stored driving mode information is generated as recommendation mode information for a section where the driving mode information is stored in the database by the server. Average value information of a general customer is generated as the recommendation mode information for a section where the driving mode information is not stored in the database.

  • Publication number: 20150170253
    Abstract: A server receives customer information and driving information about a vehicle and accumulates and stores the received customer information and driving information in a database when driving of the vehicle ends. The server calculates a statistical average value of the driving information about the customer stored in the database based on the customer information and the vehicle information, compares the statistical average value of the driving information about the customer and a statistical average value of driving information about a plurality of general customers, and calculates a customer driving index for each item as a normal distribution based probability value. A customer tendency index is generated by multiplying a weight and the customer driving index of each item and adding the values.

  • Patent number: 8909388
    Abstract: A driving device and method based on a front image and a navigation system are provided. The driving method includes receiving, by a controller, an image measured by a gyro sensor and an imaging device and calculating the condition of the road ahead. The controller determines the road condition from a navigation map which corresponds to the location received from a GPS and determines whether the road condition calculated by the gyro sensor and the imaging device and the road condition read out from the navigation map are the same. The method further includes operating, by the controller, a vehicle in a first driving mode corresponding to the condition of the road ahead based on the GPS and the navigation map, when the road condition calculated by the gyro sensor and the imaging device and the road condition read out from the navigation map are substantially the same.
