Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for providing a driver interface. The method of providing a driver interface may include, based on a state of a vehicle, determining a main interface configured to display information regarding a vehicle operation service, and generating the determined main interface, wherein the generating of the main interface may include determining a before-starting-work interface as the main interface, in response to the state of the vehicle being switched to a moving-to-workplace state, determining a moving-to-workplace interface as the main interface, and in response to the state of the vehicle being switched to a standby-for-dispatch state, determining a standby-for-dispatch interface as the main interface.

Claims (38)

1. A method of providing a driver interface, the method comprising:

based on a state of a vehicle, determining a main interface configured to display information regarding a vehicle operation service; and

generating the determined main interface,

wherein the determining of the main interface comprises:

determining a before-starting-work interface as the main interface;

in response to the state of the vehicle being switched to a moving-to-workplace state, determining a moving-to-workplace interface as the main interface; and

in response to the state of the vehicle being switched to a standby-for-dispatch state, determining a standby-for-dispatch interface as the main interface,

wherein the state of the vehicle is, when the vehicle is in a before-starting-work state, in response to receiving an attendance authentication signal, switched to the moving-to-workplace state, and when the vehicle is in the moving-to-workplace state, in response to a location of the vehicle entering an autonomous driving route, switched to the standby-for-dispatch state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the before-starting-work interface comprises:

a driving route interface;

an interface including information about a driver and information about the vehicle;

an attendance authentication interface; and

an autonomous driving function state interface.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the moving-to-workplace interface comprises:

a driving route interface;

a route guidance interface including information regarding a destination, a navigation map, and a driving method guidance; and

an autonomous driving function state interface.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to satisfying a predefined condition, activating and displaying a first object capable of interaction;

in response to not satisfying the predefined condition, deactivating and displaying the first object; and

in response to receiving an input for interacting with the activated first object, displaying a driver menu interface.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to a remaining time until a scheduled rest time reaching a first time, the scheduled rest time being included in work setting data included in the information about the driver, displaying a rest guidance interface;

when the state of the vehicle is the standby-for-dispatch state, switching the state of the vehicle to a moving-to-resting-area state;

when the state of the vehicle is an operating state, in response to receiving an operation end signal, switching the state of the vehicle to the moving-to-resting-area state; and

in response to the state of the vehicle being switched to the moving-to-resting-area state, determining a moving-to-resting-area interface as the main interface.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

in response to a remaining time until a scheduled work time after resting reaching a second time, the scheduled work time after resting being included in the work setting data included in the information about the driver, displaying a rest end guidance interface; and

in response to the remaining time until the scheduled work time after resting reaching 0, switching the state of the vehicle to the standby-for-dispatch state.

7. An apparatus for providing a driver interface, the apparatus comprising:

a memory storing at least one program; and

a processor configured to operate by executing the at least one program,

wherein the processor is configured to,

based on a state of a vehicle, determine a main interface configured to display information regarding a vehicle operation service, and

generate the determined main interface,

wherein the determining of the main interface comprises determining a before-starting-work interface as the main interface, in response to the state of the vehicle being switched to a moving-to-workplace state, determining a moving-to-workplace interface as the main interface, and in response to the state of the vehicle being switched to a standby-for-dispatch state, determining a standby-for-dispatch interface as the main interface,

wherein the state of the vehicle is, when the vehicle is in a before-starting-work state, in response to receiving an attendance authentication signal, switched to the moving-to-workplace state, and when the vehicle is in the moving-to-workplace state, in response to a location of the vehicle entering an autonomous driving route, switched to the standby-for-dispatch state.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method of claim 1 , on a computer.
