An apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle may include at least two buttons provided on a steering wheel, a processor electrically connected to the at least two buttons, and storage that stores instructions executed by the processor, wherein the processor may map and set a vehicle function to the at least two buttons, detect a button manipulated among the at least two buttons, and perform a vehicle function mapped to the manipulated button based on the vehicle function mapped to the operated button and a current vehicle state.

Apparatus and method for controlling vehicle

An electronic device connection apparatus and a control method thereof is disclosed. The electronic device connection apparatus may include a connector connected to an electronic device, an input device that generates, in response to a user input, a mode change signal instructing a change of an operation mode for determining a charging and/or a data transmission operation of the electronic device. The apparatus may include a controller that charges the electronic device connected to the connector and/or performs a data communication with the electronic device in response to a preset operation mode, and changes the operation mode in response to the mode change signal.

Connecting apparatus for electronic device and controlling method thereof

An automotive system providing method for detecting a road in an abnormal state based on a measured value of an acceleration sensor mounted on a vehicle includes an acceleration sensor measuring a value of gravity acceleration acting on a vehicle; a position measuring sensor measuring a position of the vehicle; a memory in which the measured value of the gravity acceleration and the position of the vehicle at a time point at which the gravity acceleration is measured are stored; and a controller electrically connected to the acceleration sensor, the position measuring sensor and the memory and configured for determining a road corresponding to the position where the value of the gravity acceleration is measured as being in an abnormal condition when the controller concludes that a difference value between the value of the gravity acceleration measured during operation of the vehicle and a reference acceleration value added to the value of the gravity acceleration to correct the value of the gravity acceleration as a zero reference point is out of a predetermined threshold range.

Road condition detecting method and automotive system providing the same

An apparatus and a method for automatically controlling a screen brightness of an AVN system are provided to automatically change screen brightness in a user customized manner in a response to a change in illumination outside the vehicle. The apparatus include a screen brightness control module that controls such that a screen brightness of a display provided in the AVN system is automatically changed according to a change in the illumination data received from the illumination sensor, based on a default matching relationship between previously stored illumination data and screen brightness and a gain adjustment module that generates a new customized matching relationship by correcting the screen brightness matched to each illumination data based on the default matching relationship in accordance with an input of a user who adjusts to enhance or weaken the screen brightness and provides the screen brightness control module with the new customized matching relationship for screen brightness control.

Apparatus and method for automatically controlling screen brightness of AVN system

An apparatus for controlling a display includes a controller to set a relationship index indicating relationship between selected content, which is selected through an input of a user, of the at least one content, and remaining content of the at least one content, and arrange an output screen of the output device, based on the relationship index, such that content useful to a user as well as content desired by the user is determined and provided, thereby improving the convenience of the user.

Apparatus and method for controlling a display

A screen control apparatus of a vehicle and a method thereof are provided. The screen control apparatus includes: a sensing device that measures illumination; a brightness determining device that determines a brightness degree corresponding to the illumination from one or more illumination measurement data; and a controller that controls a screen brightness of a display depending on the determined brightness degree. The controller controls the screen brightness of the display, whenever the brightness degree is changed.

Screen control apparatus of a vehicle and a method thereof

A screen control apparatus of a moving object, a method thereof, and a system thereof are provided. The screen control apparatus includes: a communication device that receives illumination measurement data measured by at least one information providing moving object from a server; an illumination score calculating device that calculates an illumination score for the received illumination measurement data; an illumination determining device that selects reference illumination measurement data depending on the illumination score and determine illumination; and a controller that controls a screen brightness on the basis of the determined illumination.

Screen control apparatus of a moving object, a method thereof, and a system thereof

A media content playback device for a vehicle and a method therefor are provided. The media content playback device includes: a media information identifying device that requests a user terminal to transmit media information and identifies the media information, when there is a request to play media content, when communicatively connected with the user terminal; a cover art obtaining device that obtains a cover art image based on the media information; and a controller that displays the cover art image on a playback screen of the media content, when playing the media content.

Media content playback device for a vehicle and a method therefor

A vehicle device includes: a communication device configured to transmit or receive a signal to or from a cloud server operating in conjunction with a service device of a parking lot upon entering the parking lot; and a controller configured to output parking lot information received from the cloud server upon entering the parking lot, and to identify charge settlement information of the parking lot from the cloud server to pay a settlement charge, when a predetermined charge settlement event occurs.
