First Embodiment

FIG. 1 is a view exemplarily showing a personalized display system 100 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a detailed view showing components of the personalized display system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown, the personalized display system 100, for integrating and varying car content, includes a profile creation unit 110, a user weight creation unit 120, a display specification decision unit 130, and an integration screen display unit 140.

The profile creation unit 110 collects and stores car driving information transmitted from an electronic control unit (ECU) 101. The ECU 101 controls an accelerator, a battery, a brake, an air conditioner, a cluster 103, an audio device, and electric equipment related to various kinds of driving to create driving information. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The created driving information generically names information related to driving created through operations of the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the air conditioner, and the electric equipment.

In addition, the profile creation unit 110 collects and stores route information through an audio video navigation (AVN) device 102 for providing information related to roads and traffic. The route information includes information related to a road state, a car travel state on the road, a departure state, a stopover state, and a destination state. The collected driving information and route information may be one learned by a driver through fuzzy logic.

In a case in which state content of the cluster 103 and the AVN device 102 is provided to an integration screen, which will hereinafter be described, in the form of a user interface (UI), the profile creation unit 110 creates manipulation information related to manipulation of the state content.

The created manipulation information may be one learned by the driver through fuzzy logic. The manipulation information may be input from a mobile terminal 300 connected through a wireless network, such as a mobile communication network.

In a case in which state content of the cluster 103 and the AVN device 102 is provided to the mobile terminal 300 in the form of a user interface (UI), manipulation information input from the mobile terminal 300 may be transmitted to the profile creation unit 110, which may use the manipulation information.

That the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information are learned by the user through fuzzy logic means that manipulation styles acquired through user's experiences during driving are reflected in the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. For example, manipulation styles, such as acceleration and deceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, and determination of day/night, may be learned and reflected in the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information.

Consequently, the profile creation unit 110 combines the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information learned through fuzzy logic using various kinds of information acquired from the ECU 101. The combination is a result obtained through matching among the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. For example, the driving information and the route information may be matched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed to combine the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. When the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information are combined, the profile creation unit 110 may create manipulation style profile information through combination thereamong. In other words, the manipulation style profile information created as described above is matched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed. Consequently, driver's favorite manipulation information is reflected in the manipulation style profile information.

For example, manipulation information during driving and car driving state information of the driving information may be combined to learn display information manipulation based on a traveling habit on a traveling route. Examples of learning may include acceleration and deceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, and determination of day/night as described above.

The user weight creation unit 120 gives a manipulation specification weight based on the manipulation information acquired through the profile creation unit 110 and driver information input by the driver. The manipulation specification weight is a result obtained by giving a weight to the manipulation information in a case in which the manipulation information is displayed through the user interface of the integration screen.

Consequently, the user weight creation unit 120 may create weight setting information as the manipulation specification weight is given to the manipulation information. The weight setting information may be set through the user interface of the integration screen or through the mobile terminal 300. That is, when the manipulation specification weight is input from the mobile terminal 300 through a customized cluster and an AVN user interface (UI), the manipulation specification weight is transmitted to the user weight creation unit 120 of the personalized display system 100 through a wireless network, such as a mobile communication network. The user weight creation unit 120, receiving the manipulation specification weight, reflects the manipulation specification weight in the manipulation information to create the weight setting information.

The weight setting information may be more effectively manipulated through the mobile terminal 300 than through the integration screen of the personalized display system 100. This is because easy input (manipulation) is possible at any place where the mobile terminal 300 communicates with the personalized display system 100.

Furthermore, the user weight creation unit 120 may receive the manipulation specification weight including sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and volume control of voice guidance related to the manipulation information and the input driver information to create the weight setting information. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Other various kinds of information that can be manipulated by the driver may be included in the manipulation specification weight.

The display specification decision unit 130 maps the weight setting information of the user weight creation unit 120 to the manipulation style profile information created by the profile creation unit 110 to determine a user's favorite display specification. For example, a display specification related to sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and voice guidance may be determined.

The manipulation style profile information used for mapping may be one in which a result of the manipulation style profile information cumulatively integrated by the profile creation unit 110 is reflected. Consequently, the display specification decision unit 130 may map the weight setting information to the cumulatively integrated manipulation style profile information to determine the display specification.

When the display specification is determined as described above, the information may be displayed in consideration of classification of content to be displayed per function, determination of favorite display information suitable for each situation, and the weight setting information.

The integration screen display unit 140 displays the display specification determined by the display specification decision unit 130 on the integration screen in the form of a widget. For example, a display specification per route included in the route information may be displayed on the integration screen.

When the display specification is displayed on the integration screen in the form of a widget, the driver may change and arrange a driver's favorite screen on the integration screen through a telephone conversation screen, reflect a driver's use frequency and a driver's style through learning, arbitrarily rearrange the user interface (UI) (setting through the mobile terminal is also possible), and vary and display the combined information based on a real route state and a traveling condition.

Second Embodiment

FIG. 3 is a flowchart exemplarily showing a car content management method (S100) of a personalized display system 100 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 3, the car content management method (S100) of the personalized display system 100, for integrating and varying car content, includes steps S110 to S160.

First, at step S110, the profile creation unit 110 collects and stores car driving information acquired by the ECU 101. The ECU 101 controls the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the air conditioner, the cluster 103, the audio device, and the electric equipment related to various kinds of driving to create driving information. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The created driving information generically names information related to driving created through operations of the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the air conditioner, and the electric equipment.

In addition, at step S110, the profile creation unit 110 collects and stores route information through the AVN device 102 for providing information related to roads and traffic. The route information includes information related to a road state, a car travel state on the road, a departure state, a stopover state, and a destination state. The collected driving information and route information may be one learned by the driver through fuzzy logic.

Subsequently, in a case in which state content of the cluster 103 and the AVN device 102 is provided to the integration screen in the form of a user interface (UI), at step S120, the profile creation unit 110 creates manipulation information related to manipulation of the state content. The created manipulation information may be one learned by the driver through fuzzy logic. The manipulation information may be input from a mobile terminal 300 connected through a wireless network, such as a mobile communication network. In a case in which state content of the cluster 103 and the AVN device 102 is provided to the mobile terminal 300 in the form of a user interface (UI), manipulation information input from the mobile terminal 300 may be transmitted to the profile creation unit 110, which may use the manipulation information.

That the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information are learned by the user through fuzzy logic means that manipulation styles acquired through user's experiences during driving are reflected in the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. For example, manipulation styles, such as acceleration and deceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, and determination of day/night, may be learned and reflected in the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information.

Subsequently, at step S130, the profile creation unit 110 combines the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information learned through fuzzy logic using various kinds of information acquired from the ECU 101. The combination is a result obtained through matching among the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. For example, the driving information and the route information may be matched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed to combine the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. When the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information are combined, at step S130, the profile creation unit 110 may create manipulation style profile information through combination thereamong. In other words, the manipulation style profile information created as described above is matched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed. Consequently, driver's favorite manipulation information is reflected in the manipulation style profile information. For example, manipulation information during driving and car driving state information of the driving information may be combined to learn display information manipulation based on a traveling habit on a traveling route. Examples of learning may include acceleration and deceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, and determination of day/night as described above.

Subsequently, at step S140, the user weight creation unit 120 gives a manipulation specification weight based on the manipulation information acquired at step S120 and driver information input by the driver. The manipulation specification weight is a result obtained by giving a weight to the manipulation information in a case in which the manipulation information is displayed through the user interface of the integration screen.

Subsequently, at step S140, the user weight creation unit 120 may create weight setting information as the manipulation specification weight is given to the manipulation information. The weight setting information may be set through the user interface of the integration screen or through the mobile terminal 300. For example, when the manipulation specification weight is input from the mobile terminal 300 through a customized cluster and an AVN user interface (UI), the manipulation specification weight is transmitted to the user weight creation unit 120 of the personalized display system 100 through a wireless network, such as a mobile communication network. The user weight creation unit 120, receiving the manipulation specification weight, reflects the manipulation specification weight in the manipulation information to create the weight setting information.

The weight setting information may be more effectively manipulated through the mobile terminal 300 than through the integration screen of the personalized display system 100. This is because easy input (i.e., manipulation) is possible at any place where the mobile terminal 300 communicates with the personalized display system 100.

Furthermore, at step S140, the user weight creation unit 120 may receive the manipulation specification weight including sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and volume control of voice guidance related to the manipulation information and the input driver information to create the weight setting information. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Other various kinds of information that can be manipulated by the driver may be included in the manipulation specification weight.

Subsequently, at step S150, the display specification decision unit 130 maps the weight setting information of the user weight creation unit 120 to the manipulation style profile information created at step S130 to determine a user's favorite display specification. For example, a display specification related to sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and voice guidance may be determined. The manipulation style profile information used for mapping may be one in which a result of the manipulation style profile information cumulatively integrated by the profile creation unit 110 is reflected. Consequently, the display specification decision unit 130 may map the weight setting information to the cumulatively integrated manipulation style profile information to determine the display specification. When the display specification is determined as described above, the information may be displayed in consideration of classification of content to be displayed per function, determination of favorite display information suitable for each situation, and the weight setting information.

Subsequently, at step S160, the integration screen display unit 140 displays the display specification determined at step S150 on the integration screen in the form of a widget. For example, a display specification per route included in the route information may be displayed on the integration screen.

When the display specification is displayed on the integration screen in the form of a widget, the driver may change and arrange a driver's favorite screen on the integration screen through a telephone conversation screen, reflect a driver's use frequency and a driver's style through learning, arbitrarily rearrange the user interface (UI) (setting through the mobile terminal is also possible), and vary and display the combined information based on a real route state and a traveling condition.

Third Embodiment

FIG. 4 is a view exemplarily showing a personalized display system 200 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 5 is a detailed view showing components of the personalized display system 200 according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown, the personalized display system 200, for integrating and varying car content, includes a mobile terminal 210 and a car integration device 220.

In a case in which state content of a cluster 203 and an AVN device 202 is received from the car integration device 220, which will hereinafter be described, the mobile terminal 210 displays the state content in the form of a customized cluster and an AVN user interface (UI). In this case, manipulation information related to manipulation of the state content is created through the cluster and the AVN user interface (UI). The created manipulation information may be one learned by the driver through fuzzy logic.

When the manipulation information is created, the mobile terminal 210 sets a manipulation specification weight for weighting the manipulation information to create weight setting information based on the manipulation information created through the customized cluster and the AVN user interface (UI) and driver information input by the driver. The set manipulation specification weight means that a weight of driver's favorite manipulation information is given by a driving habit and learning of the driver. The manipulation specification weight may include sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and volume control of voice guidance related to the manipulation information and the input driver information as described above.

Of course, the manipulation specification weight may be set through the cluster and the AVN user interface (UI). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Other various kinds of information that can be manipulated by the driver may be included in the manipulation specification weight. The created manipulation information, the driver information, and the weight setting information including the manipulation specification weight are transmitted to the car integration device 220 through a wireless network, such as a mobile communication network.

The car integration device 220 collects and stores car driving information transmitted from an electronic control unit (ECU) 201. The ECU 201 controls an accelerator, a battery, a brake, an air conditioner, the cluster 203, an audio device, and electric equipment related to various kinds of driving to create driving information. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The created driving information generically names information related to driving created through operations of the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the air conditioner, and the electric equipment.

In addition, the car integration device 220 collects and stores route information through the AVN device 202 for providing information related to roads and traffic. The route information includes information related to a road state, a car travel state on the road, a departure state, a stopover state, and a destination state.

The collected driving information and route information may be one learned by the driver through fuzzy logic. That the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information are learned by the user through fuzzy logic means that manipulation styles acquired through user's experiences during driving are reflected in the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. For example, manipulation styles, such as acceleration and deceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, and determination of day/night, may be learned and reflected in the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information.

Consequently, the car integration device 220 combines the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information learned through fuzzy logic. The combination is a result obtained through matching among the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. For example, the driving information and the route information may be matched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed to combine the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. When the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information are combined, the car integration device 220 may create manipulation style profile information through combination thereamong. In other words, the manipulation style profile information created as described above is matched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed. Consequently, driver's favorite manipulation information is reflected in the manipulation style profile information. For example, the manipulation information during driving and car driving state information of the driving information may be combined to learn display information manipulation based on a traveling habit on a traveling route. Examples of learning may include acceleration and deceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, and determination of day/night as described above.

Furthermore, the car integration device 220 maps the weight setting information received from the mobile terminal 210 to the pre-created manipulation style profile information to determine a user's favorite display specification. For example, a display specification related to sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and voice guidance may be determined. The manipulation style profile information used for mapping may be one in which a cumulatively integrated result is reflected. Consequently, the car integration device 220 may map the weight setting information to the cumulatively integrated manipulation style profile information to determine the display specification.

When the display specification is determined as described above, the information may be displayed in consideration of classification of content to be displayed per function, determination of favorite display information suitable for each situation, and the weight setting information.

In addition, the car integration device 220 displays the determined display specification on the integration screen in the form of a widget. For example, a display specification per route included in the route information may be displayed on the integration screen.

When the display specification is displayed on the integration screen in the form of a widget, the driver may change and arrange a driver's favorite screen on the integration screen through a telephone conversation screen, reflect a driver's use frequency and a driver's style through learning, arbitrarily rearrange the user interface, and vary and display the combined information based on a real route state and a traveling condition.

Referring to FIG. 6, the car content management method (S200) of the personalized display system 200, for integrating and varying car content, includes steps S210 to S260.

First, in a case in which state content of the cluster 203 and the AVN device 202 is received from the car integration device 220, at step S210, the mobile terminal 210 displays the state content in the form of a customized cluster and an AVN user interface (UI). In this case, the mobile terminal 210 creates manipulation information related to manipulation of the state content through the cluster and the AVN user interface (UI). The created manipulation information may be one learned by the driver through fuzzy logic.

Subsequently, when the manipulation information is created at step S210, at step S220, the mobile terminal 210 sets a manipulation specification weight for weighting the manipulation information to create weight setting information based on the manipulation information created through the customized cluster and the AVN user interface (UI) and driver information input by the driver.

The set manipulation specification weight means that a weight of driver's favorite manipulation information is given by a driving habit and learning of the driver. The manipulation specification weight may include sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and volume control of voice guidance related to the manipulation information and the input driver information as described above. Of course, they are set through the cluster and an AVN user interface (UI). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Other various kinds of information that can be manipulated by the driver may be included in the manipulation specification weight.

Subsequently, at step S230, the mobile terminal 210 transmits the manipulation information created at steps S210 and S220, the driver information, and the weight setting information including the manipulation specification weight to the car integration device 220. The mobile terminal 210 may transmit the above information to the car integration device 220 through a wireless network, such as a mobile communication network.

Subsequently, at step S240, the car integration device 220 collects and stores car driving information transmitted from the ECU 201. The ECU 201 controls an accelerator, a battery, a brake, an air conditioner, the cluster 203, an audio device, and electric equipment related to various kinds of driving to create driving information. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The created driving information generically names information related to driving created through operations of the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the air conditioner, and the electric equipment.

Subsequently, at step S240, the car integration device 220 collects and stores route information through the AVN device 202 for providing information related to roads and traffic. The route information includes information related to a road state, a car travel state on the road, a departure state, a stopover state, and a destination state. The collected driving information and route information may be one learned by the driver through fuzzy logic. That the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information are learned by the user through fuzzy logic means that manipulation styles acquired through user's experiences during driving are reflected in the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. For example, manipulation styles, such as acceleration and deceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, and determination of day/night, may be learned and reflected in the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information.

Consequently, at step S240, the car integration device 220 combines the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information learned through fuzzy logic. The combination is a result obtained through matching among the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. For example, the driving information and the route information may be matched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed to combine the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information. When the driving information, the route information, and the manipulation information are combined, the car integration device 220 may create manipulation style profile information through combination thereamong. In other words, the manipulation style profile information created as described above is matched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed. Consequently, driver's favorite manipulation information is reflected in the manipulation style profile information. For example, the manipulation information during driving and car driving state information of the driving information may be combined to learn display information manipulation based on a traveling habit on a traveling route. Examples of learning may include acceleration and deceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, and determination of day/night as described above.

Subsequently, at step S250, the car integration device 220 maps the weight setting information received from the mobile terminal 210 to the pre-created manipulation style profile information to determine a user's favorite display specification. For example, a display specification related to sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and voice guidance may be determined. The manipulation style profile information used for mapping may be one in which a cumulatively integrated result is reflected. Consequently, at step S250, the car integration device 220 may map the weight setting information to the cumulatively integrated manipulation style profile information to determine the display specification. When the display specification is determined as described above, the information may be displayed in consideration of classification of content to be displayed per function, determination of favorite display information suitable for each situation, and the weight setting information.

Finally, at step S260, the car integration device 220 displays the display specification determined at step S250 on the integration screen in the form of a widget. For example, a display specification per route included in the route information may be displayed on the integration screen of the car integration device 220. When the display specification is displayed on the integration screen in the form of a widget, the driver may change and arrange a driver's favorite screen on the integration screen through a telephone conversation screen, reflect a driver's use frequency and a driver's style through learning, arbitrarily rearrange the user interface, and vary and display the combined information based on a real route state and a traveling condition.

As is apparent from the above description, the present disclosure has an effect in that it is possible for the driver to change and arrange a driver's favorite screen on the integration screen, reflect a driver's use frequency and a driver's style through learning, and arbitrarily rearrange the user interface (UI) (set by the mobile terminal).

In addition, the present disclosure has an effect in that it is possible to display content related to the cluster and the AVN device through the integration display window in a coupled or combined state, vary and display the combined information based on a real route state and a traveling condition, and store the above information in a database such that the information can be reflected in the next driving operation.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a computer readable medium including program commands for implementing operations implemented through various computers. The computer readable medium can store program commands, data files, data structures or combinations thereof. The program commands recorded in the medium may be specially designed and configured for the present disclosure or be known to those skilled in the field of computer software. Examples of a computer readable recording medium include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tapes, optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, magneto-optical media such as floptical disks, or hardware devices such as ROMs, RAMs, and flash memories, which are specially configured to store and execute program commands. Examples of the program commands include a machine language code created by a compiler and a high-level language code executable by a computer using an interpreter and the like. The hardware device may be configured as one or more software modules in order to perform processing according to the present disclosure, and vice versa.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure covers the modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
