[0046] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. For convenience of description, the sizes of the components shown in the drawings may be enlarged or reduced, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 FIG. is a diagram for explaining a vehicle driving guidance system based on driving route traffic information according to various embodiments.

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 , the vehicle driving guidance system may include a plurality of vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N, a plurality of electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N, and a server 3000. Each of the plurality of vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N may include an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 100 of FIG. 3, or the electronic device 100-1 of FIG. 4) for guiding a lane change or a driving route according to driving route traffic information.

[0049] The electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 100 of FIG. 3 or the electronic device 100-1 of FIG. 4) provided in the plurality of vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N may display information on a lane or driving route change. Herein, the electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 100 of FIG. 3 or the electronic device 100-1 of FIG. 4) may display lane change information and / or driving route change information in a two-dimensional augmented reality (AR) head-up display (HUD) manner, a three-dimensional AR HUD manner, a virtual reality (VR) manner, a hologram manner, or a flat display (e.g., a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED)) manner.

[0050] Each of the plurality of electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N may include a wired / wireless communication function and transmit driving route traffic information including traffic information (e.g., social data) to the server 3000. Herein, the social data including traffic information may be defined as "driving route traffic information".

[0051] Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) traffic information may include traffic data transmitted and received between vehicles. The driving route traffic information may represent information obtained by extracting traffic-related information from various social data transmitted and received between multiple users in addition to the V2V traffic information. As an embodiment, if a first user sends a message to a second user saying "I am on the way from Gangnam Station to Seolleung Station, but there is a traffic jam due to road damage", the electronic device (e.g., Figure 4a the electronic device 100) and / or the server 3000 may extract traffic-related data (e.g., Gangnam Station, Seolleung Station, road, damage, and traffic jam) from the message sent by the first user. The electronic device (e.g., Figure 4a the electronic device 100) and / or the server 3000 may send the driving route traffic information to the vehicles traveling on the same driving route.

[0052] Each of the multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N can be a communication device, smartphone, tablet PC, personal computer, smart TV, mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), notebook computer, laptop computer, media player, micro server, global positioning system (GPS) device, e-book terminal, digital broadcast terminal, navigation device, and other computing devices. Additionally, each of the multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N can be a wearable device (e.g., watch, glasses, headband, and ring) including a display function and a data processing function. Furthermore, each of the multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N can be a traffic signal device (e.g., traffic light, traffic control device, traffic information display device).

[0053] Herein, the driving route traffic information can include data of traffic information such as vehicle driving status, driving information, road information, traffic conditions, accident occurrences, driving delays, etc. sent in the form of voice, message, or video by the user using the multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N and a social network service (SNS). Moreover, the driving route traffic information can include vehicle information, route information, lane information, and driving information from the multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N. In addition, the driving route traffic information can include data from traffic signal devices (e.g., traffic lights, traffic control devices, traffic information display devices). That is, the driving route traffic information can represent a wide range of traffic information related to the driving of vehicles.

[0054] The multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N can send and receive driving information including traffic conditions by using vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), V2V, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) based on a fourth-generation (4G) communication system or a fifth-generation (5G) communication system.

[0055] In addition, the multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N can send the driving route traffic information including traffic conditions to the server 3000 by using V2P, V2X, and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications.

[0056] In addition, each of the multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N can receive the driving route traffic information including the traffic conditions of the multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N by using V2P, V2X, and V2I communications.

[0057] In addition, multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N can each use V2X and V2I communications to send their driving route traffic information including traffic conditions to the server 3000.

[0058] In addition, multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N can use V2X and V2I communications to receive driving route traffic information including traffic conditions, driving information of other vehicles, and road condition information from the server 3000.

[0059] Figure 2 is a description Figure 1 of the server 3000 shown in

[0060] Referring to Figure 2 , the server 3000 may include a communication unit 3100, a processor 3200, and a memory 3300.

[0061] The communication unit 3100 may include a receiver 3110 for receiving radio signals and a transmitter 3120 for outputting radio signals. The server 3000 may send driving route traffic information to / receive driving route traffic information from multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N and multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N through the communication unit 3100.

[0062] The processor 3200 may include a data analyzer 3210 and a data arranger 3220. The data analyzer 3210 may analyze whether the data received from multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N and multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N includes traffic information. The data analyzer 3210 may classify each traffic information in the driving route traffic information and provide the classification result of the driving route traffic information to the data arranger 3220.

[0063] The data sorter 3220 may sort the classification results of the received traffic information of the driving routes according to a preset criterion. As an example, the data sorter 3220 may sort the traffic information of the driving routes according to the driving information of each vehicle (e.g., location, speed, starting point, destination point, driving direction, driving route, driving lane, etc.). In addition, the data sorter 3220 may sort the traffic information of the driving routes according to roads and road conditions (e.g., soil runoff, oil spill, flood, icing, pothole, road kill, falling object, road construction, and tunnel collapse, etc.). Additionally, the data sorter 3220 may sort the traffic information of the driving routes according to traffic signal devices (e.g., traffic lights, traffic control devices, traffic information display devices).

[0064] The data sorter 3220 may send the classified traffic information of the driving routes to the multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N through the transmitter 3120. As an example, the data sorter 3220 may commonly send each traffic information of the driving routes to the multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N through the transmitter 3120. As an example, the data sorter 3220 may distinguish the vehicles with the same or similar driving routes among the multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N. The specific traffic information of the driving routes in the entire traffic information of the driving routes may be sent to the vehicles with the same or similar driving routes. That is, the vehicles in motion may receive the traffic information of the driving routes corresponding to their driving roads, lanes, and driving routes from the server 3000.

[0065] The memory 3300 may store the data (e.g., traffic information of the driving routes) received from the multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-N and the multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N. The memory 3300 may store various data used by the processor 3200 of the server 3000. The data may include, for example, software (e.g., programs), and input data or output data of related instructions. The memory 3300 may include volatile memory and non-volatile memory.

[0066] Figure 3a It is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of applying an electronic device to a vehicle according to various embodiments.

[0067] Refer to Figure 3a, the vehicle 1000 may include an electronic device 100 for displaying traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) based on driving route traffic information. The electronic device 100 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) on the window 200 of the vehicle 1000 in an AR HUD manner.

[0068] The HUD manner may display the traffic guidance information 300 by projecting an image onto the front window 200 of the vehicle 1000. By displaying information on the front window 200 of the vehicle 1000, the driver can recognize the traffic guidance information 300 while keeping his / her line of sight on the road. Not limited thereto, the electronic device 100 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) in a mirror display manner.

[0069] As another embodiment, the electronic device 100 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) on the window 200 of the vehicle 1000 in at least one of a two-dimensional, three-dimensional AR HUD manner, a VR manner, and a hologram manner. As another example, the electronic device 100 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) in a flat panel display manner.

[0070] The electronic device 100 may be a mobile or non-mobile electronic device that may be installed on the vehicle 1000. The electronic device 100 may include an image sensor for acquiring an image of the situation outside the vehicle and a GPS for acquiring the position information of the vehicle 1000. The electronic device 100 may be operably connected to the navigation device, driving control device, autonomous driving system, and advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) of the vehicle 1000 to share the driving state, driving lane, driving route, starting point, destination point information, and / or traffic event occurrence point of the vehicle 1000.

[0071] Figure 3b FIG. is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which the electronic device 100-1 according to various embodiments is applied to the vehicle 1000.

[0072] Refer to Figure 3b, the vehicle 1000 may include an electronic device 100-1 configured to display traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) based on driving route traffic information. The electronic device 100-1 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) in the form of a flat panel display (e.g., LCD, OLED).

[0073] Figure 3a The electronic device 100 or Figure 4a The electronic device 100-1 may identify lanes on the road while driving, thereby identifying the number of lanes on the road. The electronic devices 100 and 100-1 may identify the currently driven lane among multiple lanes. The electronic devices 100 and 100-1 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) on the flat panel display 200-1 according to the driven lane.

[0074] The electronic devices 100 and 100-1 may include a sensor module 195 for improving the accuracy of determining the route and lanes. The sensor module 195 may include an image sensor, a radar sensor, and a lidar sensor. The electronic devices 100 and 100-1 may identify the route and lanes by using sensing information from the image sensor, the radar sensor, and the lidar sensor. Not limited thereto, it may be assumed that information related to the number of lanes and routes of each road on which the vehicle 1000 travels is already included in the navigation map data or may be included in a separate database. The electronic device 100 may use the information related to the number of lanes and routes of each driven road included in the navigation map data or in a separate database.

[0075] The electronic devices 100 and 100-1 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., route change information, lane change information, traffic signs, and / or traffic event information) in a 2D AR HUD manner, a 3D AR HUD manner, a VR manner, a hologram manner, or a flat panel display manner. As an embodiment, AR is a technology that superimposes and displays three-dimensional virtual objects on the real world observed by the driver with his eyes, which may be referred to as mixed reality (MR), and it displays an image by merging virtual objects with additional information and the real world in real time.

[0076] If vehicle 1000 needs to change its driving lane, electronic devices 100 and 100-1 can determine this as a traffic event (e.g., an accident between vehicles, vehicle breakdown, road control, ambulance movement, fire truck movement, exit warning, entrance warning, road conditions (soil runoff, oil spill, flood, icing, pothole, road fatality, falling object, road construction, tunnel collapse)), and display traffic event information on the flat panel display 200-1.

[0077] The traffic guidance information 300 displayed by electronic devices 100 and 100-1 can include not only traffic event information, but also the driving speed of vehicle 1000, the speed limit of the driving road, and road control information according to weather conditions.

[0078] Although in Figure 3a and Figure 3b electronic devices 100 and 100-1 are illustrated as devices separate from vehicle 1000, it is not limited thereto. Electronic devices 100 and 100-1 can be integrated into vehicle 1000 and implemented as some configurations included in vehicle 1000. For example, electronic devices 100 and 100-1 can include a processor (e.g., Figure 4a the processor 105) included in vehicle 1000. For example, the processor (e.g., Figure 4a the processor 105) can include a microcontroller unit (MCU) included in vehicle 1000. Moreover, vehicle 1000 can include a memory (e.g., Figure 4a the memory 185) for storing data required for the operation of the processor and traffic information of the driving route. In addition, vehicle 1000 can include a communication module (e.g., Figure 4a the communication module 110) for communicating with external electronic devices and other vehicles.

[0083] The communication module 110 may establish a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the electronic device 100 and an external electronic device, another vehicle, and a server (e.g., Figure 1 the server 3000), and support communication through the established communication channel. The communication module 110 may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication.

[0084] The communication module 110 may communicate with other external electronic devices, other vehicles, and a server ( Figure 1 the server 3000) through a first network (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a cellular network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN))), or a second network (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, or Infrared Data Association (IrDA)). Various types of wireless communication modules 112 and wired communication modules 114 may be integrated into one component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips).

[0085] The wireless communication module 112 may identify and authenticate the electronic device 100 in a communication network (such as the first network or the second network) using communication user information (e.g., an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)).

According to an embodiment, the antenna module may include an antenna, which includes a conductor formed on a substrate (e.g., a printed circuit board (PCB)) or a radiator formed in a conductive pattern. According to an embodiment, the antenna module 116 may include multiple antennas. In this case, at least one antenna suitable for a communication method used in a communication network (such as the first network or the second network) may be selected from the multiple antennas by, for example, the communication module 110. Signals or power may be transmitted or received between the communication module 110 and an external electronic device, other vehicles, and a server ( Figure 1 the server 3000) via the selected at least one antenna. According to some embodiments, other components (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) in addition to the radiator may be additionally formed as part of the antenna module 116.

[0087] At least some components can be communicatively interconnected between peripheral devices (e.g., a bus, general-purpose input and output (GPIO), serial peripheral interface (SPI), or mobile industry processor interface (MIPI)) and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data). According to an embodiment, commands or data can be sent or received via a server ( Figure 1 server 3000) connected to the first network or the second network between the electronic device 100 and external electronic devices, as well as other vehicles.

[0088] The connection end 118 can include a connector through which the electronic device 100 can be electrically connected to an external electronic device. According to an embodiment, the connection end 118 can include, for example, a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) connector, a universal serial bus (USB) connector, a secure digital (SD) card connector, or an audio connector (e.g., a headphone connector).

[0089] Returning to Figure 4a , the traffic information collector 120 of the processor 105 can receive real-time driving route traffic information from a server (e.g., Figure 1 server 3000) through the communication module 110. Not limited thereto, the traffic information collector 120 can receive data from external electronic devices (e.g., Figure 1 multiple electronic devices 2000-1, 2000-2, and 2000-N) and other vehicles (e.g., Figure 1 multiple vehicles 1000-1, 1000-2, and 1000-M). The traffic information collector 120 can provide the real-time received driving route traffic information and data to the traffic information classifier 130. The traffic information collector 120 can store the received driving route traffic information in the memory 185.

[0090] The traffic information classifier 130 of the processor 105 can analyze the real-time received driving route traffic information and classify the specific driving route traffic information corresponding to the driving route and driving lane of the vehicle 1000. The traffic information classifier 130 can provide the specific driving route traffic information corresponding to the driving route and driving lane of the vehicle 1000 to the event occurrence determiner 140.

[0091] The event occurrence determiner 140 of the processor 105 may analyze the received driving route traffic information to determine whether it is necessary to change the driving route of the vehicle 1000 or the driving lane of the vehicle 1000. That is, the event generation determiner 140 may determine whether a traffic event has occurred to change the driving route of the vehicle 1000 or to change the driving lane of the vehicle 1000. Here, traffic events may include accidents between vehicles, vehicle failures, road control, ambulance driving, fire truck driving, exit warnings, entrance warnings, and road conditions (soil runoff, oil spill, flood, icing, pothole, road death, falling objects, road construction, and tunnel collapse). If a traffic event has occurred, the event occurrence determiner 140 may generate traffic event information and provide the generated traffic event information to the controller 150.

[0092] The controller 160 of the processor 105 may include an event part detector 152, a lane change information generator 154, a traffic sign generator 156, and a severity determiner 158.

[0093] The event part detector 152 may identify the point where the traffic event occurs by analyzing the received traffic event information and calculate the distance from the current position of the vehicle 1000 to the traffic event occurrence point. In addition, the event part detector 152 may analyze the received traffic event information to determine the traffic event type (for example, accidents between vehicles, vehicle failures, road control, ambulance driving, fire truck driving, exit warnings, entrance warnings, and road conditions (soil runoff, oil spill, flood, icing, pothole, road death, falling objects, road construction, and tunnel collapse)).

[0094] The event part detector 152 may generate event part information, including how many meters (M) ahead (for example, 500 meters ahead) a traffic event that requires the vehicle 1000 to change the modeled route or change lanes is based on the traffic event point, the distance to the traffic event occurrence point, and the traffic event type (for example, identifying the distance difference between the driver's own vehicle (for example, the vehicle connected to the electronic device) and the traffic event occurrence point). The event part detector 152 may provide the generated event part information to the severity determiner 158. In addition, the event part detector 152 may provide the event part information to the lane change information generator 154 and the traffic sign generator 156.

[0095] The severity determiner 158 may determine the severity of the generated event based on the received event part information.

[0096] The severity determiner 158 can determine the severity level of a traffic event by taking into account the increase in travel time due to the occurrence of the traffic event. Specifically, if the expected arrival time at the destination increases when traveling along the previously guided travel route due to the occurrence of the traffic event, the severity determiner 158 can determine the severity level of the traffic event based on the increase in the expected arrival time. Moreover, the severity determiner 158 can determine the severity level of the traffic event by considering the accident risk based on the occurrence of the traffic event. Specifically, if there is an expected accident risk when traveling along the previously guided travel route, the severity determiner 158 can consider the accident risk to determine the severity level of the traffic event.

[0097] As an example, the severity determiner 158 can classify an occurred traffic event with a low severity level as low severity (e.g., the first severity level). Specifically, if the increase in the expected arrival time at the destination when traveling along the previously guided travel route due to the occurrence of the traffic event is less than the first increment (e.g., 20%), the severity determiner 158 can classify it as low severity (e.g., the first severity level). Not limited thereto, if the increase in the expected arrival time at the destination is less than the second increment (e.g., 30 - 50%), the severity determiner 158 can classify it as low severity (e.g., the first severity level).

[0098] As an example, if the severity determiner 158 does not expect an accident risk to occur due to the occurrence of the traffic event when traveling along the previously guided travel route, the severity determiner 158 can classify it as low severity (e.g., the first severity level).

[0099] As an example, if it is necessary to change the current travel route or the current travel lane, but a traffic event that allows travel occurs, the severity determiner 158 can classify it as low severity (e.g., the first severity level).

[0100] As an example, the severity determiner 158 can classify the high severity level of the occurred event as high severity (e.g., the second severity level). Specifically, if the increase in the expected arrival time at the destination when traveling along the previously guided travel route due to the occurrence of the traffic event exceeds the first increment (e.g., 20%), the severity determiner 158 can classify it as high severity (e.g., the second severity level). Not limited thereto, if the increase in the expected arrival time at the destination exceeds the second increment (e.g., less than 30 - 50%), the severity determiner 158 can classify it as low severity (e.g., the first severity level).

[0101] As an example, if the severity determiner 158 anticipates a risk of an accident when traveling along the previously guided driving route due to the occurrence of a traffic event, the severity determiner 158 may classify it as a high severity (e.g., the second severity level).

[0102] As an example, if a traffic event occurs that does not allow travel on the current driving route or the current driving lane, the severity determiner 158 may classify it as a high severity (e.g., the second severity level).

[0103] The severity determiner 158 can classify the severity of the event and generate severity information. The severity determiner 158 can provide the severity information to the lane change information generator 154 and the traffic sign generator 156.

[0104] The lane change information generator 154 can generate traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., Figure 3a , Figure 3b the traffic guidance information 300 shown) for guiding a route change or a lane change based on the received partial event information and severity information. The lane change information generator 154 can send the generated traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., Figure 3a , Figure 3b the traffic guidance information 300 shown in

[0105] The traffic sign generator 156 can generate a traffic sign including information about the occurred event and traffic condition information (e.g., Figure 5 the traffic sign 400) based on the received partial event information and severity information. The traffic sign generator 156 can send the generated traffic sign (e.g., Figure 5 the traffic sign 400) to the display device 160.

[0106] Therefore, the processor 105 can control at least one of the route change information, lane change information, and traffic signs corresponding to the severity level to be displayed on the display device.

[0107] Figure 4c is a diagram Figure 4a illustrating the display device 160 of the electronic device 100 shown in

[0108] Referring to Figure 4c , the display device 160 may include a display unit 10 for outputting an image and a display driver IC (DDI) 30 for controlling it.

[0109] The display device 160 can display the received traffic guidance information 300 (e.g.,Figure 3a , Figure 3b the traffic guidance information 300) shown, and traffic signs (e.g., Figure 5 the traffic sign 400).

[0110] As an example, the display unit 10 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., Figure 3a , Figure 3b the traffic guidance information 300) shown in, and traffic signs (e.g., Figure 5 the traffic sign 400). As an example, the display unit 10 may display the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., Figure 3a , Figure 3b the traffic guidance information 300) shown in, and traffic signs (e.g., Figure 5 the traffic sign 400) in a planar display (e.g., LCD, OLED) manner.

[0111] The DDI 30 may include an interface module 31, a memory 33 (e.g., a buffer memory), an image processing module 35, or a mapping module 37. The DDI 30 may receive, through the interface module 31, image information including, for example, image data, or an image control signal corresponding to a command for controlling the image data, from other components of the electronic device 100. According to an embodiment, the image information may be received from a processor. The DDI 30 may communicate with the touch circuit 50 or the sensor module 76 through the interface module 31. Additionally, the DDI 30 may store at least a part of the received image information, for example, in units of frames, in the memory 33. For example, the image processing module 35 may perform pre - processing or post - processing (e.g., adjusting the resolution, brightness, or size) on at least a part of the image data, at least based on the characteristics of the image data or the characteristics of the display unit 10. The mapping module 37 may generate a voltage value or a current value corresponding to the image data pre - processed or post - processed by the image processing module 35.

[0112] According to an embodiment, the generation of the voltage value or the current value may be performed based on, for example, the characteristics of the pixels of the image displayed through the display unit 10. The pixels of the image may be driven based on at least a part of the voltage value or the current value, so as to display visual information (e.g., text, image, or icon) corresponding to the image data through the display unit 10.

[0113] According to an embodiment, the display device 160 may further include a touch circuit 50. The touch circuit 50 may include a touch sensor 51 and a touch sensor IC 53 for controlling it. The touch sensor IC 53 may control the touch sensor 51 to detect a touch input or a hover input to a specific position of the display unit 10, for example. According to an embodiment, at least a part of the touch circuit 50 (e.g., the touch sensor IC 53) may be included as part of the display driver IC 30 or the display unit, or as part of other components arranged outside the display device 160.

[0114] According to an embodiment, the display device 160 may further include at least one sensor of the sensor module 76 (e.g., a fingerprint sensor, an iris sensor, a pressure sensor, or an illuminance sensor), or its control circuit. In this case, at least one sensor or its control circuit may be embedded in a part of the display device 160 (e.g., the display unit 10 or the DDI 30) or a part of the touch circuit 50.

[0115] Returning to Figure 4a , the sound output device 170 may output a sound signal to the outside of the electronic device 100. The sound output device 170 may output information on a new recommended route 320 (e.g., the first lane) and Figure 5 the traffic sign 400 shown. The sound output device 170 may include, for example, a speaker or a receiver. The speaker may be used for general purposes such as playing multimedia or playing a record, and the receiver may be used for receiving an incoming call. According to an embodiment, the receiver may be implemented separately from the speaker or as part of the speaker.

[0116] The battery 180 may supply power to at least one component of the electronic device 100. According to an embodiment, the battery 180 may include, for example, a primary non-rechargeable battery, a rechargeable secondary battery, or a fuel cell.

[0117] The power module 190 may manage the power supply to the electronic device 100. According to an embodiment, the power module 190 may include a power connector for receiving alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). According to an embodiment, the power module 190 may be implemented as at least part of a power management integrated circuit (PMIC).

[0118] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating a method of using an electronic device to display an existing route and a new recommended route according to various embodiments. Figure 6a is a diagram illustrating a sign box displayed by an electronic device according to the occurrence of a traffic event according to various embodiments.

[0119] Referring to Figure 3a , Figure 4a , Figure 5 andFigure 6a , the electronic device 100 can separately display the newly recommended driving route 320 (e.g., the second driving route) and the existing driving route 310 (e.g., the first driving route) according to the traffic guidance information 300 (e.g., Figure 3a , Figure 3b the traffic guidance information 300 shown in

[0120] If the vehicle 1000 traveling in the second lane as the existing driving route 310 faces a driving risk due to an event or is expected to reduce its driving speed, the electronic device 100 can display the newly recommended driving route 320 (e.g., the first lane).

[0121] The electronic device 100 can display the newly recommended driving route 320 (e.g., the first lane) to overlap with the existing driving route 310. The newly recommended driving route 320 (e.g., the first lane) can include images and characters.

[0122] The electronic device 100 can display the traffic sign 400 on the part corresponding to the outside of the road. The traffic sign 400 can display the distance from the current vehicle position to the event occurrence point (e.g., 300 meters) and event details (e.g., accidents between vehicles, vehicle breakdowns, road controls, ambulance driving, fire truck driving, exit warnings, entrance warnings, and road conditions (soil runoff, oil spill, flood, icing, potholes, road deaths, falling objects, road construction, and tunnel collapses)).

[0123] The traffic sign 400 can include an event information display unit 410 and a severity display unit 420. The event information display unit 410 can display event information for displaying the traffic conditions of the driving route. The severity display unit 420 can display the severity of the traffic event in color (e.g., low severity (first severity level) or high severity (second severity level)). Without being limited thereto, the severity display unit 420 can use images or characters to display the event severity. Such a traffic sign 400 can be displayed in the form of a circular sign board, a hexagonal sign box, or a polyhedral sign box. The traffic sign 400 can include images and characters.

[0124] Figure 6bIt is a diagram showing that the color of the sign box changes according to the severity of traffic incidents.

[0125] Refer to Figure 6b , if no traffic incident occurs and normal traffic conditions are guided, the severity display unit 420 of the traffic sign 400 can be displayed in green. If the severity of the incident is low, the severity display unit 420 of the traffic sign 400 can be displayed in yellow. If the severity of the incident is high, the severity display unit 420 of the traffic sign 400 can be displayed in red.

[0126] Figure 6c It is a diagram showing the position where the sign box is generated.

[0127] Refer to Figure 3a , Figure 4a and Figure 6c , if the incident point is at a specific distance (e.g., 1 kilometer) or more from the current position of the vehicle 1000, the incident information can be displayed outside the road. If the incident point is less than the preset distance (e.g., 1 kilometer) from the current position of the vehicle 1000, it can be displayed by floating the traffic sign 400 on the road. As an example, as the vehicle 1000 approaches the incident point, the size of the traffic sign 400 can gradually increase. As an example, the traffic sign 400 can blink at a constant speed to visually identify the occurrence of the incident.

[0128] Figure 7 It is a diagram showing the method of guiding lane changes using an electronic device according to various embodiments.

[0129] Refer to Figure 3a , Figure 4a and Figure 7 , if the vehicle 1000 may not be able to travel in the existing driving lane (e.g., the second lane) due to a vehicle accident or vehicle breakdown ahead, the electronic device 100 can display a new vehicle driving route 320 (e.g., the first lane) and guide a forced lane change. That is, it can display on the display device that it is not feasible to travel in the existing driving lane (e.g., the second lane), and information on forced travel along the newly recommended driving route 320 (e.g., the first lane).

[0130] In addition, the electronic device 100 can display the traffic sign 400 in a part corresponding to the outside of the road. The traffic sign 400 can display the distance from the incident point and the information of the incident. If the vehicle 1000 passes the incident point, the electronic device 100 can guide a lane change to drive the vehicle 1000 along the existing lane (e.g., the second lane).

[0131] Figure 8FIG. is a diagram illustrating a method for guiding a lane change when the severity of an event that has occurred is determined to be low (e.g., first severity level).

[0132] Referring to Figure 3a 、 Figure 4a and Figure 8 If the event information is analyzed and it is expected that the vehicle 1000 that may travel along the existing travel route 310 will be at risk or decelerate during travel, the electronic device 100 may determine the event severity to be low. Specifically, if the increase in the expected time to reach the destination is less than the first increment (e.g., 20%) when traveling along the previously guided existing travel route due to the occurrence of a traffic event, the electronic device 100 may classify it as low severity (e.g., first severity level).

[0133] For low severity, the electronic device 100 may display a newly recommended travel route 320 together with the existing travel route 310. In this case, the electronic device 100 may display the existing travel route 310 and the newly recommended travel route 320 in different colors.

[0134] The electronic device 100 may display a traffic sign 400 indicating low severity on a portion corresponding to the outside of the road. The traffic sign 400 may display information on low severity (color, characters, or images) and event details (e.g., accidents between vehicles, vehicle breakdowns, road closures, ambulance travel, fire truck travel, exit warnings, entrance warnings, and road conditions (soil runoff, oil spill, flood, icing, pothole, road fatality, falling object, road construction, and tunnel collapse)).

[0135] Figure 9 FIG. is a diagram illustrating a method for guiding a lane change when the severity of an event that has occurred is determined to be high (e.g., second severity level).

[0136] Referring to Figure 3a 、 Figure 4a and Figure 9 By analyzing the event information, the electronic device 100 may classify the high severity of the event that has occurred (e.g., second severity level). Specifically, if the increase in the expected time to reach the destination exceeds the first increment (e.g., 20%) when traveling along the previously guided existing travel route due to the occurrence of a traffic event, the electronic device 100 may classify it as high severity (e.g., second severity level).

[0137] By analyzing the event information, if the vehicle 1000 may not travel on the existing travel route 310, the electronic device 100 may determine the severity of the event to be high.

[0138] For a high severity level, the electronic device 100 may display a new basic driving route 330 together with the existing driving route 310. In this case, the electronic device 100 may display the existing driving route 310 and the new basic driving route 330 in different colors.

[0139] The electronic device 100 may display a traffic sign 400 indicating a high severity level on a portion corresponding to the outside of the road. The traffic sign 400 may display information (color, character, or image) on the high severity level and event details (e.g., accidents between vehicles, vehicle breakdowns, road control, ambulance driving, fire truck driving, exit warnings, entrance warnings, and road conditions (soil runoff, oil spill, flood, icing, pothole, road fatality, falling object, road construction, and tunnel collapse)).

[0140] Figure 10 It is a diagram illustrating a method of guiding a road exit based on the occurrence of events such as an unknown road exit and a sudden lane change by another vehicle.

[0141] Refer to Figure 3a 、 Figure 4a and Figure 10 , if sudden braking and sudden lane changes of other vehicles occur near the road exit, or other vehicles miss the exit and often deviate from their driving routes, the electronic device 100 may display an exit guide 340 in advance. Moreover, if a specific distance (e.g., 1 kilometer) from the exit is approached, the electronic device 100 may display the exit guide 340. In addition, the electronic device 100 may display a traffic sign 400 including exit information.

[0142] Figure 11 It is a diagram illustrating a method of guiding a lane / route change based on the lane / route deviation of a vehicle traveling together.

[0143] Refer to Figure 3a 、 Figure 4a and Figure 11 , multiple vehicles traveling together with the same destination may set the same driving route, and the vehicles traveling together may drive together. A specific vehicle among the vehicles traveling together may also change its lane or driving route or enter a rest area without considering the driving route to the destination.

[0144] If a specific vehicle among the vehicles traveling in the same lane changes lanes or its driving route, or enters a rest area route, regardless of the driving route to the destination, the electronic device 100 may display the driving route information 360 of the vehicles traveling in the same lane together with the existing driving route 350. Here, if there are not only vehicles traveling in the same lane in front of the driver's own vehicle (e.g., the vehicle connected to the electronic device), but also vehicles traveling in the same lane behind the driver's own vehicle, the electronic device 100 may display the driving route information 360 of the vehicles traveling in the same lane together with the existing driving route 350 on the display device. The driving route information 360 of the vehicles traveling in the same lane may be equally displayed among all the vehicles traveling in the same lane. Accordingly, the vehicles traveling in the same lane may quickly and accurately identify the information that a specific vehicle among the vehicles traveling in the same lane has deviated from the driving route.

[0145] The electronic device 100 according to various embodiments of the present invention may include a communication module 110, a processor 105 operably connected to the communication module 110, and a memory 185 operably connected to the processor 105.

[0146] When traveling on the first driving route, if the increase in driving time is lower than the first increment or there is no risk of an accident, the processor 105 of the electronic device 100 according to various embodiments of the present invention may determine the severity as the first level, and when traveling on the first driving route, if the increase in driving time exceeds the first increment or there is an expected risk of an accident, the severity may be determined as the second level.
