Abstract
A method for monitoring a driver status in a terminal which interworks with a vehicle head unit through local wireless communication includes receiving vehicle proceeding direction information from the vehicle head unit. Whether or not a driver's gaze deviates from a gaze stability area is determined using the vehicle proceeding direction information. A driver's gaze deviation warning message is transmitted to the vehicle head unit, upon determining that the driver's gaze deviates from the gaze stability area.
