Abstract

Provided herein is control method of an electronic apparatus, including: identifying a line region from a driving-related image data of a vehicle; generating a line information corresponding to a lane where the vehicle is located from an image data of the identified line region portion; generating a position information of a lane where the vehicle is located, using at least one of the generated line information and the lane information of a road where the vehicle is located; and performing a driving-related guide of the vehicle using the generated lane position information.

Claims (40)

1. A display control method of a navigation device comprising:

obtaining a driving image in front of a vehicle from a camera;

displaying on the obtained driving image an augmented reality guide screen that displays a route guide indicator representing a route of the vehicle, first information representing a paint where a driving direction of the vehicle is to be changed, and second information representing a summary of lanes on a road on which the vehicle is located; and

displaying a map guide screen that displays a current location and the route of the vehicle on a map adjacent to the displayed augmented reality guide screen.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining location information of the vehicle and generating route information to a destination based on the acquired location information; generating the route guide indicator and the first information using the location information and the route information; and

generating the map representing the route to the destination of the vehicle and the current location of the vehicle on the route using the location information and route information.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

obtaining lane information of the road on which the vehicle is located;

obtaining lane position information of a lane on which the vehicle is located on the road; and

generating the second information using the lane information and the lane position information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the route guide indicator is displayed on a changed lane when the lane on which the vehicle is located is changed.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information includes a distance to the point and the driving direction of the vehicle at the point.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information is variably displayed according to a change in distance between the vehicle and the point.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information and the second information are displayed on the route guide indicator.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second information includes a road summary image that classifies and displays the road on which the vehicle is located by lane, wherein the lane where the vehicle has to be located is displayed differently from other lanes.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising; displaying a driving direction change guide indicator representing the driving direction of the vehicle at the point on the augmented reality guide screen, and wherein the driving direction change guide indicator has an arrow shape and the arrow indicates the driving direction of the vehicle at the point.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

calculating a driving speed of the vehicle; and

displaying a speed limit of the road on which the vehicle is located when the calculated driving speed exceeds the speed limit of the road on which the vehicle is located.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a line of the lane on which the vehicle is located; and

wherein the route guide indicator is displayed on the lane on which the vehicle is located based on the detected line.

12. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

detecting a line of the lane on which the vehicle is located; and

generating the route guide indicator based on the route information to the destination of the vehicle when the line is not detected.

13. A navigation device comprising:

a display unit which displays a screen;

a camera that obtains a driving image in front of the vehicle from the camera; and

a controller, including a processor, which controls the display unit to display an augmented reality guide screen that displays a route guide indicator representing a route of the vehicle, first information representing a point where a driving direction of the vehicle is to be changed, and second information representing a summary of lanes on a road on which the vehicle is located on the obtained driving image and to display a map guide screen that displays a current location and the route of the vehicle on a map adjacent to the displayed augmented reality guide screen.

14. The navigation device of claim 13 , wherein the route guide indicator is displayed on a changed lane when the lane on which the vehicle is located is changed.

15. The navigation device of claim 13 , wherein the first information includes a distance to the point and the driving direction of the vehicle at the point.

16. The navigation device of claim 13 , wherein the first information is variably displayed according to a change in distance between the vehicle and the point.

17. The navigation device of claim 13 , wherein the first information and the second information are displayed on the route guide indicator.

18. The navigation device of claim 13 , wherein the second information includes a road summary image that classifies and displays the road on which the vehicle is located by lane, wherein the lane where the vehicle has to be located is displayed differently from other lanes.

19. The navigation device of claim 13 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to display a driving direction change guide indicator representing the driving direction of the vehicle at the point on the augmented reality guide screen, and wherein the driving direction change guide indicator has an arrow shape and the arrow indicates the driving direction of the vehicle at the point.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a display control method of a navigation device, the method comprising:

obtaining a driving image in front of a vehicle from a camera;

displaying an augmented reality guide screen that displays a route guide indicator representing a route of the vehicle, first information representing a point where a driving direction of the vehicle is to be changed, and second information representing a summary of lanes on a road on which the vehicle is located on the obtained driving image; and

displaying a map guide screen that displays a current location and the route of the vehicle on a map adjacent to the displayed augmented reality guide screen.
