A vehicle may include: a feedback device; a bio-signal sensor configured to measure a bio-signal of a user; and a controller operatively coupled to the feedback device and the bio-signal sensor, the controller including a memory configured to store at least one program instruction and processor configured to execute the at least one program instruction. The controller may be configured to: determine information characterizing a current emotional state of the user based on the bio-signal; calculate, based on a difference value between the current emotional state and a target emotional state, an operation ratio between a first mode for controlling operation of the feedback device to decrease a degree of excitability of the user and a second mode for controlling the operation of the feedback device to increase a degree of positivity of the user; and control the operation of the feedback device for a predetermined time based on the operation ratio.

Vehicle and method for controlling the same

A vehicle is provided that includes a bio-signal sensor configured to measure a bio-signal of a user and a feedback device configured to interact with the bio-signal of the user. A controller determines a current emotional state of the user based on the bio-signal and adjusts an output signal of the feedback device based on the current emotional state. The output signal leads to a target emotional state in which the degree of excitability is a reduced emotional state.

A vehicle is provided to include a bio-signal sensor that detects a bio-signal of a user, a display device that displays an image and a controller that determines at least one of a positivity of the user or change amount of the positivity of the user based on the detected bio-signal. The controller accumulates a positivity index when at least one of the positivity or change amount of the positivity is equal to or greater than a predetermined positivity or a predetermined change amount of the positivity and transmit a control signal to the display device to display the accumulated positivity index.

Vehicle and control method for the same

A method for controlling a vehicle relates to a voice masking technology for allowing only a specific passenger among passengers in the vehicle to listen to a voice communication signal such as a dial tone, and the technology inhibits the remaining passengers other than the specific passenger from listening to the voice communication signal. The vehicle includes a voice signal receiver to receive a voice signal, a speaker provided in the vehicle to output the voice signal, and a controller to perform frequency conversion of the received voice signal. In particular, the controller generates a masking sound for inhibiting transmission of information contained in the voice signal on the basis of a frequency band of the converted voice signal, and generates a control signal in a manner that the generated masking sound is output to a predetermined region of an indoor space of the vehicle.
