Vehicle driving guiding device and method

Abstract

The present invention provides a vehicle driving guiding device and a method. The vehicle driving guiding device includes a plural of light emitting sections each that is provided, respectively, inside plural grills of air-vents which are arranged in front side of interior space of the vehicle and emits light to the interior space of the vehicle through the grills of the air-vents, and a controller for controlling a left-light emitting section provided on a left side of the light emitting section to emit light in case of a left direction indication signal and for controlling a right-light emitting section provided on a right side of the light emitting section to emit light in case of a right direction indication signal when road guiding direction indication signal is produced.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0059595 filed on June 4, 2012, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle driving guidance device and method, by which, when a road guidance direction indication signal for guiding a road is generated, light emitting parts in corresponding directions emit light, thereby improving the visibility effect and ensuring For convenient and safe driving. Background technique [0004] Generally speaking, the vehicle driving guidance device can provide the driver with real-time location information received from GPS satellites, and can establish traffic information and map information, and can display and guide the route to the desired destination for the driver. A representative example of a driving guidance device for a vehicle is a navigator ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, when the driver is listening to the radio and music, in the case where a direction indication signal is displayed and a voice guidance message is provided in the vehicle driving guidance device, the broadcast and music are interrupted or volume down

At this time, because the voice guidance message makes the driver interrupt listening to the radio and music, if the voice in the vehicle driving guidance device is eliminated and the vehicle is driven, the driver cannot follow the direction indication signal and may leave the route

[0007] In order to solve the above disadvantages, even if the driving guidance information including the driving speed of the vehicle and various information is provided on the dashboard, the visibility cannot be sufficiently ensured and the driver's concentration on driving will be distracted.

[0008] In addition, even if driving guidance information is provided through a head-up display (HUD) system, the cost of the HUD system is high, and furthermore, the size of the icons indicating the direction indicators is limited

[0009] In addition, displaying direction indication signals on the interior mirror of a vehicle, however, does not sufficiently ensure visibility, and further, the driver's recognition is reduced due to short-range and long-range focus changes

[0010] The driving guidance system as described above is unsafe because it has limitations to ensure visibility and further distracts driving concentration, thus causing negligent driving when the driver observes the driving guidance information, leading to accidents
