Abstract
An electronic device and method for guiding vehicle users to build a value with vehicle use is provided. The electronic device collects usage data associated with a vehicle and competition information associated with one or more transport options that are different from the vehicle. The electronic device determines saving information associated with a use of the vehicle over a period, based on the usage data and the competition information. The electronic device further determines one or more milestones that are achieved over the period or are yet to be achieved to accumulate a net value which exceeds expenses associated with the vehicle. Such milestones are associated with the use of the vehicle and are determined based on the saving information and the usage data. The electronic device controls a display to render guidance information that includes the net value and information about such milestones.
