[0041] The operating principles and embodiments of the disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Figure 1 is a control block diagram of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 , a controller 100 configured to guide a route to a destination with an augmented reality (AR) map, determine whether a user interface 110 for receiving a user input and a highlight mark of a point of interest (POI) corresponding to the destination are set, display a pop-up message on the user interface 110 according to a determination result, receive a user input in response to the pop-up message, and set or change the highlight mark of the point of interest based on the user input can be included.

[0044] Embodiments of the disclosure can provide a user interface 110 linked with at least one of an AR map application and navigation.

[0045] The user interface 110 can provide a user interface to a user. The user interface 110 can receive various control commands from the user and can transmit the received control commands to the controller 100. In addition, the user interface 110 can output at least one of an image and a voice according to the operation of the controller 100.

[0046] The user interface 110 can receive an input for a destination from the user and can receive an input for selecting an option or a menu related to a route search to the destination.

[0047] The user interface 110 can display various information provided based on a route guidance service to the destination on a screen. For example, the user interface 110 can display at least one of an AR map, current position information of the vehicle 1, destination information, and route information.

[0048] Here, the destination information can be a point of interest corresponding to a destination input by the user, and can include a highlight mark of the point of interest.

[0049] The user interface 110 can display a pop-up message for determining whether to receive a user input.

[0050] For example, if a point of interest corresponding to a destination is not set, the user interface 110 can display a pop-up message for determining whether to set a point of interest corresponding to a destination.

[0051] For example, when a highlight mark of a point of interest is not set, the user interface 110 can display a pop-up message for determining whether to set a highlight mark of a point of interest.

[0052] For example, when a highlight mark of a point of interest is set, the user interface 110 can display a pop-up message for determining whether to change a highlight mark of a point of interest.

[0053] When the vehicle 1 arrives at a point of interest corresponding to a destination, the user interface 110 can display a pop-up message for evaluating accuracy of a point of interest or accuracy of a highlight mark of a point of interest. Here, the evaluation of a point of interest can be an evaluation of accuracy between a position of a destination input by a user and a position of an actually existing point of interest, but is not limited thereto.

[0054] The user interface 110 can display a plurality of icons together for setting a highlight mark of a point of interest to any one of a parking lot of a destination or a pedestrian entrance of a destination.

[0055] For example, the plurality of icons can include a first icon and a second icon. Here, the first icon can represent a parking lot of the destination, and the second icon can represent a pedestrian entrance of the destination, but is not limited thereto.

[0056] The user interface 110 can be a touch screen.

[0057] When the user inputs a destination in navigation, the controller 100 can determine whether a point of interest corresponding to the destination is preset.

[0058] If the point of interest corresponding to the destination is not preset, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display a notification message to notify the user that the point of interest is not preset.

[0059] In addition, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display a pop-up message for determining whether the user directly sets the point of interest corresponding to the destination.

[0060] For example, when a user input for setting the point of interest is received in response to the pop-up message, the controller 100 can set the point of interest based on the user input.

[0061] In more detail, the user input for setting the point of interest corresponding to the destination can be touching a point desired by the user on the AR map displayed on the user interface 110, and the controller 100 can set the point touched by the user as the point of interest.

[0062] If the point of interest corresponding to the destination is preset, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display at least one of the point of interest and a highlight mark of the point of interest.

[0063] The controller 100 can determine whether the highlight mark of the point of interest is preset.

[0064] If the highlight mark of the point of interest is preset, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display a pop-up message for determining whether the user directly changes the highlight mark of the point of interest.

[0065] For example, when a user input for changing the highlight mark of the point of interest is received in response to the pop-up message, the controller 100 can change the highlight mark based on the user input.

[0066] In more detail, the user input for changing the highlight mark can be touching a point desired by the user on the AR map displayed on the user interface 110. In addition, by touching the point desired by the user on the AR map and dragging at will while maintaining the touch, the entire inside of the area dragged by the user can be changed to the highlight mark area of the point of interest.

[0067] Also, in an embodiment of the disclosure, it is described that the entire inside of the area dragged by the user is changed to the highlight tagging area. However, the controller 100 can change the contour line itself corresponding to the area dragged by the user to the highlight tagging of the point of interest.

[0068] If the highlight tagging of the point of interest is not preset, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display a notification message for notifying the user that the highlight tagging is not preset.

[0069] Further, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display a pop-up message for determining whether the user directly adds the highlight tagging to the point of interest.

[0070] For example, when a user input for adding the highlight tagging to the point of interest is received in response to the pop-up message, the controller 100 can add the highlight tagging based on the user input.

[0071] In more detail, the user input for adding the highlight tagging can be touching a point desired by the user on the AR map displayed on the user interface 110. Further, by touching the point desired by the user on the AR map, dragging at will while maintaining the touch, the entire inside of the area dragged by the user can be added to the highlight tagging area of the point of interest.

[0072] Also, in an embodiment of the disclosure, it is described that the entire inside of the area dragged by the user is added to the highlight tagging area. However, the controller 100 can add the contour line itself corresponding to the area dragged by the user as the highlight tagging of the point of interest.

[0073] When the vehicle 1 arrives at the point of interest corresponding to the destination, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display a pop-up message for the user to directly evaluate the point of interest or the accuracy of the highlight tagging of the point of interest.

[0074] For example, if a user input is received in response to the pop-up message, the controller 100 can determine an evaluation result of the accuracy of the point of interest or the highlight tagging of the point of interest based on the user input.

[0075] If the evaluation result is lower than a predetermined score, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display a pop-up message for the user to directly reset the point of interest corresponding to the destination desired by the user and directly reset the highlight tagging of the point of interest.

[0076] The controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display an icon related to the point of interest to reset the highlight tagging of the point of interest.

[0077] For example, when the destination of the user input is a building, the controller 100 can control the user interface 110 to display a plurality of icons indicating a parking lot of the building or a pedestrian entrance of the building.

[0078] In more detail, when the user touches the highlight marker of the point of interest corresponding to the destination, drags it while maintaining the touch, and places it at a position corresponding to the first icon indicating the parking lot of the destination, the controller 100 can set the parking lot as the point of interest on the AR map. Also, the controller 100 can set the highlight marker as the parking lot of the destination on the AR map.

[0079] In more detail, when the user touches the highlight marker of the point of interest corresponding to the destination, drags it while maintaining the touch, and places it at a position corresponding to the second icon indicating the pedestrian entrance, the controller 100 can set the pedestrian entrance as the point of interest on the AR map. Also, the controller 100 can set the highlight marker as the pedestrian entrance on the AR map.

[0080] The controller 100 can determine whether the user moves to the vehicle 1 and control the user interface 110 to display the highlight marker of the point of interest as the parking lot of the destination.

[0081] The controller 100 can be implemented as a memory (not shown) for storing data of an algorithm for controlling operations of components in the vehicle 1 or a program regarding reproduction of the algorithm and a processor (not shown) for executing the above-described operations using the data stored in the memory. In this case, the memory and the processor can be implemented as separate chips. Alternatively, the memory and the processor can be implemented as a single chip.

[0082] When a route is guided using a map screen on which position information of the vehicle 1 is mapped, the storage (not shown) can store a program including a command for providing a visual recognition function for a destination so that the user can clearly recognize the destination. For example, a program including a command for providing a highlight marker for a point of interest corresponding to the destination as the visual recognition function can be stored.

[0083] The storage (not shown) can correspond to a memory for storing the above-described information and the following information, and can be implemented as at least one of a nonvolatile memory element such as a cache, a read only memory (ROM), a programmable ROM (PROM), an erasable programmable ROM (EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), and a flash memory or a volatile memory element such as a random access memory (RAM) or a storage medium such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a CD-ROM, but is not limited thereto.

[0084] Figure 2A and Figure 2B A screen for setting a highlight marker of a point of interest of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated.

[0085] Referring to Figure 2A and Figure 2BWhen the user uses navigation, the vehicle 1 can display an AR map.

[0086] Referring to Figure 2A If the user input destination is "Starbucks Samjeon Store", the vehicle 1 can determine whether a highlight mark of a point of interest corresponding to the destination is set.

[0087] If the highlight mark of the point of interest is not set, the vehicle 1 can display a notification message 2a-1 to notify the user that the highlight mark is not set.

[0088] In addition, the vehicle 1 can further display a message 2a-2 for determining whether to continue guiding the destination route in the notification message 2a-1.

[0089] Referring to Figure 2B , the vehicle 1 can display pop-up messages 2b-1, 2b-2 for determining whether the user directly sets a highlight mark of a point of interest.

[0090] Figure 3A and Figure 3B A screen for setting a size of a highlight mark of a point of interest of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated.

[0091] Referring to Figure 3A , in order for the user to directly set a size of a highlight mark of a point of interest, the vehicle 1 can display an outline of a point of interest corresponding to the destination.

[0092] The vehicle 1 can set an entire area inside the outline 3a-1 as a highlight mark area by the user 10 touching two points inside the outline and adjusting the size of the outline to a desired area.

[0093] In addition, the vehicle 1 can set the outline 3a-1 itself as a highlight mark.

[0094] Embodiments of the disclosure display an outline of a point of interest to set a highlight mark, and describe that the user 10 adjusts a size of an area inside the outline. However, by the user 10 touching an arbitrary desired point and dragging a desired area without displaying the outline, the dragged area can be changed to a highlight mark area.

[0095] The vehicle 1 can display a notification message 3a-2 to notify the user that the size of the highlight mark has been set, and can include a message indicating that the highlight mark is reflected in a service.

[0096] Referring to Figure 3B , an image of a point of interest familiar to the user can be provided by using an emoticon 3b-1 of an existing camera application.

[0097] Figure 4is a flowchart illustrating a method of setting a highlight marker of a point of interest of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0098] Referring to Figure 4 , the vehicle 1 can determine whether a highlight marker of a point of interest corresponding to a destination input by a user is preset (210).

[0099] If the highlight marker of the point of interest is preset, the vehicle 1 can display a pop-up message for determining whether the user directly changes the highlight marker.

[0100] For example, when a user input for changing the highlight marker of the point of interest is received in response to the pop-up message, the vehicle 1 can change the highlight marker based on the user input.

[0101] If the highlight marker of the point of interest is not preset, the vehicle 1 can display a pop-up message about whether the user directly adds a highlight marker for a point of interest corresponding to the destination (220).

[0102] The vehicle 1 can determine whether it has received a user input to add a highlight marker (230).

[0103] If the user input for adding the highlight marker is received, the vehicle 1 can add the highlight marker for the point of interest (240).

[0104] In more detail, the user input for adding the highlight marker can be a touch of a point on the AR map displayed on the user interface 110 that the user desires. If the user maintains the touch of the point and drags it at will and then drops it, the vehicle 1 can set the entire inside of the dragged area as a highlight marker area.

[0105] In addition, the outline corresponding to the area dragged by the user itself can be set as the highlight marker.

[0106] Figure 5A and Figure 5B shows a screen for evaluating the accuracy of a highlight marker of a point of interest of a vehicle according to another embodiment of the disclosure.

[0107] Referring to Figure 5A , when route guidance is completed and the user arrives at the destination, the vehicle 1 can evaluate a point of interest corresponding to the destination. In more detail, the vehicle 1 can display a pop-up message 5a-1 for performing the evaluation so that the user can directly participate in the evaluation.

[0108] For example, as shown in Figure 5A and Figure 5B , the vehicle 1 can receive a user input for selecting the number of stars and can evaluate based on the number of stars.

[0109] In more detail, if the number of stars selected by the user is 5, the vehicle 1 can rate it as perfect. If the number of stars selected by the user is 4, the vehicle 1 can rate it as good. If the number of stars selected by the user is 3, the vehicle 1 can rate it as needing improvement. If the number of stars selected by the user is 2, the vehicle 1 can rate it as bad. If the number of stars selected by the user is 1, the vehicle 1 can rate it as poor.

[0110] Figure 6 FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for evaluating the accuracy of a highlight marker of a point of interest of a vehicle according to another embodiment of the disclosure.

[0111] When the route guidance ends and the user arrives at the destination, the vehicle 1 can evaluate the accuracy of the highlight marker of the point of interest (310). Here, the evaluation of the highlight marker of the point of interest can be an evaluation of the accuracy between the destination input by the user and the point of interest actually existing, but is not limited thereto.

[0112] The vehicle 1 can display a pop-up message for performing the evaluation (320).

[0113] The vehicle 1 can receive a user input in response to the pop-up message.

[0114] Based on the user input, it can be determined whether the evaluation score is 3 points or less (330).

[0115] For example, as described above, a user input for selecting the number of stars can be received, and the evaluation can be performed based on the number of stars.

[0116] If the evaluation score is 3 points or less, the vehicle 1 can set the point of interest corresponding to the destination again (340). Also, the vehicle 1 can set the highlight marker of the point of interest again (340).

[0117] Figure 7 FIG. 11 is a screen illustrating a method for setting a highlight marker of a point of interest of a vehicle according to another embodiment of the disclosure.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 11, Figure 7 When the user 2 touches and drags the highlight marker 7-3 of the point of interest 7-4 and places it on the second icon 7-2 representing the pedestrian entrance of the destination, the vehicle 1 can set the pedestrian entrance as the point of interest. Also, the vehicle 1 can set the highlight marker of the pedestrian entrance on the AR map.

[0119] If the user 2 touches and drags the highlight marker 7-3 of the point of interest 7-4 and places it on the first icon 7-1 representing the destination parking lot, the vehicle 1 can set the parking lot as a point of interest. And the vehicle 1 can set a highlight marker of the parking lot on the AR map.

[0120] When the user 2 touches the icon 7-5, the vehicle 1 can display a notification message 7-6 indicating that a highlight marker of a point of interest has been set and stored.

[0121] Figure 8 A system configuration of an augmented reality (AR) map service of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated.

[0122] Information required for the map service can be provided in four layers, and a highlight marker element of a point of interest can be provided on the overlay layer because it is on the second layer.

[0123] A pop-up message and a notification message for correcting and adding a highlight marker of a point of interest can be provided in the pop-up layer of the third layer.

[0124] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a final destination of a POI can be more clearly labeled by user engagement and according to user input, the final destination can be intuitively highlighted, and the map service can be maintained or repaired.

[0125] In addition, there is an effect of reducing the time to search for a final destination, and there is an advantage that detailed information can be provided according to a user input through a service that understands a user's movement intention.

[0126] In addition, through the improvement of user engagement type point of interest (POI) labeling, it is possible to reduce the investment cost of augmented reality (AR) technology development and reduce the maintenance and repair cost of the map service.

[0127] On the other hand, the disclosed embodiments can be implemented in the form of a recording medium storing instructions executable by a computer. The instructions can be stored in the form of a program code, and when executed by a processor, the instructions can generate program modules to perform the operations of the disclosed embodiments.
