Infotainment device for vehicle and method for operating same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a base unit comprising: a video link hub electrically connected to a user interface device so as to transmit a signal; a first system of chip (SoC) for providing a first infotainment function; and a processor for determining whether an abnormality has occurred in the first SoC. The first SoC authenticates a second SoC when a power source of the second SoC is turned on, and if it is determined by the processor that an abnormality has occurred in the first SoC, confirms whether there is an alternative infotainment function to replace the first infotainment function from among second infotainment functions provided by the second SoC. When the first SoC confirms that there is an alternative infotainment function from among the second infotainment functions, the processor controls the video link hub so as to execute the alternative infotainment function. One or more from among an autonomous driving vehicle, a user terminal, and a server of the present invention may be associated with an artificial intelligence module, a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, devices related to 5G services, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle infotainment device and an operation method thereof, and more specifically, relates to an invention of an electronic device that detects whether an operation abnormality of a basic SoC in a system of multiple SoCs (System on Chip: System on Chip) occurs, by The additional SoC ensures the backup (Redundancy: Redundancy) of the basic SoC. Background technique [0002] A vehicle is a device used to move a riding user in a desired direction. Representative examples include automobiles. Autonomous vehicles are vehicles that can drive themselves without a human driver. [0003] Recently, with the development of vehicle technology, vehicle infotainment systems are widely used. A vehicle infotainment system may be called an entertainment integration system, which refers to information representing information required for driving and navigation routes, various entertainment items, and humanized functions.

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The prior art defines the interface between each unit by separating the functions of the basic unit and the box, but does not take countermeasures for the abnormal operation of the current system, so there are obstacles during abnormal operation and restart. Driver's Safe Driving Issues
