Abstract

A vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle includes a display, a communication module, a memory, and one or more processors, and the one or more processors generate driving guide information of the vehicle based on traffic information, received from an external device by the communication module, and driving data of the vehicle corresponding to a preset period, which is stored in the memory, and control the generated driving guide information to be displayed on the display.

Claims (63)

1. A vehicle comprising:

a display;

a communication module;

a memory; and

one or more processors configured to:

receive, through the communication module, traffic information from an external device,

generate driving guide information of the vehicle based on driving data of the vehicle corresponding to a preset period, which is stored in the memory and the traffic information, and

display, through the display, the generated driving guide information guiding to pass traffic lights or to wait at an intersection.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the preset period includes a first period and a second period different from the first period, and

wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

generate first driving guide information based on first driving data corresponding to the first period and the traffic information; and

generate second driving guide information different from the first driving guide information based on second driving data corresponding to the second period and the traffic information.

3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein, if the driving data is speed variation information of the vehicle, the one or more processors are configured to:

generate and display the first driving guide information based on first speed variation information corresponding to the first period; and

generate and display the second driving guide information based on second speed variation information corresponding to the second period.

4. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

control at least one of a character, an icon, or a color included in the second driving guide information to be displayed differently from the first driving guide information.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

generate first driving guide information or second driving guide information, which is different from the first driving guide information, based on a variation in a value included in at least one of items included in the driving data corresponding to the preset period.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein if at least one of items included in the driving data corresponding to the preset period is posture information of the vehicle, the one or more processors are configured to:

generate and display a first driving guide information if the vehicle is inclined in a first direction; and

generate and display a second driving guide information if the vehicle is inclined in a second direction different from the first direction.

7. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

update the driving data of the vehicle, which is stored in the memory, at a specific cycle if the vehicle moves.

8. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the traffic information further includes:

at least one of speed limit information for a road, traffic flow information, surrounding car information, obstacle information, urgent car information, or accident information.

9. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the driving data of the vehicle includes:

at least one of car power information, car state information, gear state and shift information, speed information, a revolution per minute of an engine, acceleration and deceleration operation information, turn indicator information, navigation information, mileage information, tire pressure information, or driving mode information.

10. The vehicle of claim 1 ,

wherein the traffic information indicates state of traffic lights corresponding to a moving direction of the vehicle, and

wherein the one or more processors is configured to generate the driving guide information based on the state of traffic lights and speed variation information included in the driving data.

11. A controlling method of a vehicle, the controlling method comprising:

receiving traffic information from an external device;

determining driving data, which corresponds to a preset period, of driving data of the vehicle;

generating and displaying driving guide information of the vehicle based on the traffic information and the driving data which corresponds to the preset period; and

displaying an instruction to pass traffic lights or to wait at an intersection.

12. The controlling method of claim 11 , wherein the preset period includes a first period and a second period different from the first period, and

wherein the controlling method includes:

generating first driving guide information based on first driving data corresponding to the first period and the traffic information; and

generating second driving guide information different from the first driving guide information based on second driving data corresponding to the second period and the traffic information.

13. The controlling method of claim 12 , wherein, if the driving data is speed information of the vehicle, the controlling method includes:

generating and displaying the first driving guide information if the speed information of the vehicle exceeds a speed limit for the first period; and

generating and displaying the second driving guide information, if the speed information of the vehicle exceeds the speed limit for the second period.

14. The controlling method of claim 12 , wherein, if the driving data is speed variation information of the vehicle, the controlling method includes:

generating and displaying the first driving guide information based on first speed variation information corresponding to the first period; and

generating and displaying the second driving guide information based on second speed variation information corresponding to the second period.

15. The controlling method of claim 12 , wherein the controlling method includes:

displaying at least one of a character, an icon, or a color included in the second driving guide information differently from the first driving guide information.

16. The controlling method of claim 11 , wherein the generating and displaying of the driving guide information of the vehicle based on the traffic information and the driving data corresponding to the preset period includes:

generating first driving guide information or second driving guide information different from the first driving guide information based on a variation in a value included in at least one of items included in the driving data corresponding to the preset period.

17. The controlling method of claim 16 , wherein, if at least one of items included in the driving data corresponding to the preset period is posture information of the vehicle,

the controlling method includes:

generating and displaying the first driving guide information if the vehicle is inclined in a first direction; and

generating and displaying the second driving guide information if the vehicle is inclined in a second direction different from the first direction.

18. The controlling method of claim 16 , wherein the controlling method includes:

displaying at least one of a character, an icon, or a color included in the second driving guide information is displayed differently from the first driving guide information.

19. The controlling method of claim 11 , wherein the controlling method includes:

updating the driving data of the vehicle, which is previously stored in memory, at a specific cycle if the vehicle moves.

20. A non-transitory storage medium for storing instructions for executing a controlling method of a vehicle, wherein the storage medium is configured to store instructions that, when executed, perform operations comprising:

receiving traffic information from an external device;

determining driving data, which corresponds to a preset period, of driving data of the vehicle;

generating and displaying driving guide information of the vehicle based on traffic information, which is received from the external device, and the driving data which corresponds to the preset periods; and

displaying an instruction to pass traffic lights or to wait at an intersection.
