Client electronic device, a vehicle, and a method of controlling the same

Abstract

A client electronic device, and a vehicle including the client electronic device and a method of controlling the vehicle, are configured to provide redundancy by determining whether an abnormality occurs in a transport layer or an application layer according to whether a time out occurs. The vehicle includes a plurality of electronic devices each configured to supply at least one service and a client electronic device configured to receive the service from at least one of the plurality of electronic devices. The client electronic device may include a communicator configured to communicate with the plurality of electronic devices and a controller. The controller may be configured to: control the communicator to transmit a service request message for a specific service to any one of the plurality of electronic devices; when receiving data corresponding to the service request message from one of the electronic devices, to determine whether a time out occurs for the reception of data; and, when the time out occurs, to control the communicator to transmit the service request message for the specific service to another electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices based on whether any one of a transport layer and an application layer is abnormal.
