Apparatus for Providing Driving Path and Method Thereof

Abstract

An apparatus for providing a driving path is provided. The apparatus includes an input device configured to receive a return need time to a departure point. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to determine whether the return need time is less than a preset time, to set a virtual destination depending on a result of the determination, to calculate a first driving time from the departure point to the virtual destination and a second driving time from the virtual destination to the departure point, to compare a sum of the first driving time and the second driving time with the return need time, and to determine whether to provide a return path to the departure point based on a result of the comparison.

Problems solved by technology

However, as areas where parking / parking is prohibited have recently become larger, it may be difficult to park / park at certain points until passengers are ready to board again

[0005] Usually, a device that provides a driving route searches and provides a route from a starting point to a destination, but when the starting point and the destination are the same, a conventional device that provides a driving route may not generate a route, so it does not support providing a route

Therefore, the driver may have the inconvenience of arbitrarily driving the nearby roads without receiving the route until the passenger is picked up again at the same place after a certain time
