In addition, the communication unit (400) may perform wired communication.

[0054] The navigation system (500) can obtain road information and traffic information from an external device through the communication unit (400). The road information is specific information about the road on which the vehicle (1) is traveling, and may include information regarding the location of the entrance, the location of the traffic light, the status of the traffic light, the time of change of the traffic light, and the location of the speed camera. The traffic information may include information on traffic congestion on the road being traveled.

[0055] The navigation system (500) is controlled by the control unit (600) and can generate a driving path for the vehicle (1) based on road information and traffic information. When a user inputs a destination using the user interface device (200), the navigation system (500) can generate a driving path to the destination and generate route guidance information.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 3, the navigation system (500) may include a traffic information providing unit (510), a Global Positioning System (GPS) (520), a precision map database (530), a speed camera database (540), and a traffic light database (550).

[0058] Meanwhile, the control unit (600) of the vehicle (1) can determine the driving situation based on road information and traffic information obtained by the navigation system (500). For example, the driving situation may be a traffic jam on an entrance road, a traffic light change situation, or a situation of approaching a speed camera. A traffic light change situation may mean a situation where there is a short time remaining until the traffic light changes from green to red while the vehicle (1) is approaching the traffic light.

[0059] The control unit (600) may include at least one processor (610) that executes a program related to the operation of the vehicle (1) and at least one memory (620) in which the program is stored.

[0060] The control unit (600) includes an electronic control unit (ECU) that controls the operation of a power generation device, a power transmission device, a driving device, a steering device, a braking device, a suspension device, a transmission device, a fuel device, a safety device, and various sensors (300).

[0061] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle control method according to one embodiment.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 4, the control unit (600) of the vehicle (1) can obtain first user tendency information from a server through the communication unit (400) (710). The first user tendency information refers to the user's usual tendency information. The first user tendency information may be data collected and analyzed by a user terminal other than the vehicle and stored in a server. For example, the first user tendency information may be data collected and analyzed by the user's smartphone, wearable device, etc. The first user tendency information may be generated based on the user's smartphone usage pattern, schedule stored in the smartphone, tone of voice during calls via the smartphone, pulse rate measured by a wearable device, etc.

[0063] Additionally, the first user tendency information may be information collected regarding the user's driving style corresponding to a specific driving situation. The first user tendency information may refer to the average tendency information of the user exhibited in a specific driving situation. The first user tendency information may be Patient Style, Normal Style, or Hasty Style.

[0064] The control unit (600) can obtain behavioral data of the vehicle (1) from the sensor (300) (720). The control unit (600) can determine second user tendency information based on the vehicle's behavioral data (730). The second user tendency information refers to the user's current tendency information. The control unit (600) can determine the user's second user tendency information based on the vehicle's (1) speed change data and steering angle change data. For example, the control unit (600) can determine the second user tendency information as Patient Style, Normal Style, or Hasty Style.

[0065] The first or second user style information indicates the user's degree of impatience; Patient Style represents the lowest level of impatience, Normal Style represents average impatience, and Hasty Style represents the highest level of impatience.

[0066] The control unit (600) can compare the first user preference information and the second user preference information (740), and control the user interface device (200) to provide route guidance information based on the result of the comparison (750). If the first user preference information and the second user preference information are the same, the control unit (600) can provide route guidance information based on the first user preference information.

[0067] The control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to display a list of playable content corresponding to the first user preference information when the first user preference information and the second user preference information are not identical. The control unit (600) can display a list of playable content corresponding to the first user preference information through the user interface device (200) and display content selected by the user. That is, the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to change the user's current state to the first user preference information representing the usual preference (state).

[0068] Additionally, if the first user tendency information and the second user tendency information are not identical, the control unit (600) may control the operation of the air conditioning unit or the opening and closing of the window based on at least one of the first temperature and the first humidity corresponding to the first user tendency information. The control unit (600) may control the air conditioning unit or the window, which is a functional device of the vehicle (1), in order to change the user's current state to the first user tendency information representing the usual tendency (state). That is, the control unit (600) may control the air conditioning unit or the window to adjust the current temperature and current humidity inside the vehicle (1) to the first temperature and the first humidity, respectively.

[0069] The user interface device (200) can output a dynamic character image corresponding to the first user preference information or the second user preference information. Direction information can be provided by the dynamic character image. Meanwhile, the dynamic character image can have various characteristics.

[0070] The user interface device (200) can output at least one of an image and a voice message containing route guidance information. The control unit (600) can adjust the brightness and color of the image and adjust the tone, speech rate, and volume of the voice message based on the first user preference information or the second user preference information. FIG. 5 illustrates a method of providing route guidance information when the driving situation is an on-road congestion situation.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 5, the control unit (600) can determine the driving situation as an entryway congestion situation based on road information and traffic information obtained by the navigation system (500) (810). The control unit (600) can obtain first user tendency information corresponding to the entryway congestion situation from the server (820). The control unit (600) can determine second user tendency information based on the behavior data of the vehicle (1) obtained from the sensor (300) (830). For example, the control unit (600) can determine the second user tendency information regarding the entryway congestion situation as Patient Style, Normal Style, or Hasty Style. The control unit (600) can compare the first user tendency information and the second user tendency information (840), and control the user interface device (200) to provide route guidance information based on the result of the comparison. The control unit (600) can provide route guidance information based on the first user preference information when the first user preference information and the second user preference information are the same.

[0072] For example, if the second user preference information is determined to be Patient Style (841), the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide a lane change to the entrance road at a location further than a predetermined distance from the entrance point (851). The predetermined distance may be a point 600m away from the entrance point. That is, if the user's second user preference information is Patient Style, a lane change guidance may be provided from a point 1km away from the entrance point.

[0073] When the second user preference information is determined to be Normal Style (842), the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide a lane change to the entrance road at a predetermined distance from the entrance point (852). That is, a lane change can be guided at a point 600m away from the entrance point.

[0074] Additionally, if the second user tendency information is determined to be Hasty Style (843), the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide a lane change to the entrance road at a location closer than a predetermined distance from the entrance point (853). That is, if the user's driving style is Hasty Style, a lane change guidance can be provided from a point 200m away from the entrance point.

[0075] The control unit (600) can control the function device of the user interface device (200) or the vehicle (1) when the first user preference information and the second user preference information are not the same (860).

[0076] For example, if the first user preference information and the second user preference information are not identical, the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to display a list of playable content corresponding to the first user preference information. The control unit (600) can display a list of playable content corresponding to the first user preference information through the user interface device (200) and display content selected by the user. That is, the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to change the user's current state to the first user preference information representing the usual preference (state).

[0077] Additionally, if the first user tendency information and the second user tendency information are not identical, the control unit (600) can control the operation of the air conditioning unit or the opening and closing of the window based on at least one of the first temperature and the first humidity corresponding to the first user tendency information. That is, the control unit (600) can control the air conditioning unit or the window, which is a functional device of the vehicle (1), in order to change the user's current state to the first user tendency information representing the usual tendency (state).

[0078] In this way, the disclosed vehicle (1) can improve user satisfaction with the route guidance by providing route guidance information by adjusting the point or time for guiding lane changes to the entrance road according to user preference information.

[0079] Figure 6 illustrates a method for providing navigation information when the driving situation is a traffic light change situation.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 6, the control unit (600) can determine the driving situation as a traffic light change situation based on road information and traffic information obtained by the navigation system (500) (910). The traffic light change situation may mean a situation where there is a short time remaining until the traffic light changes from green to red while the vehicle (1) is approaching the traffic light. The control unit (600) can obtain first user tendency information corresponding to the traffic light change situation from the server (920).

[0081] The control unit (600) can determine second user tendency information based on the behavior data of the vehicle (1) obtained from the sensor (300) (930). For example, the control unit (600) can determine the second user tendency information regarding the traffic light change situation as Patient Style, Normal Style, or Hasty Style.

[0082] The control unit (600) can compare the first user preference information and the second user preference information (940) and control the user interface device (200) to provide route guidance information based on the result of the comparison. If the first user preference information and the second user preference information are the same, the control unit (600) can provide route guidance information based on the first user preference information.

[0083] For example, if the second user preference information is determined to be Patient Style (941), the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide deceleration if the time remaining until the traffic light turns red at a point located at a predetermined distance from the traffic light location is less than or equal to the first time (951). The predetermined distance from the traffic light location may be 100m, and the first time may be 10 seconds. That is, deceleration can be guided even when a relatively long time remains until the traffic light turns red.

[0084] When the user's second user preference information is determined to be Normal Style (942), the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide deceleration if the time remaining until the traffic light turns red at a point located at a predetermined distance from the traffic light location is less than or equal to the second time (952). Conversely, the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide acceleration if the time remaining until the traffic light turns red exceeds the second time. Here, the predetermined distance is 100m and the second time may be 7 seconds.

[0085] Additionally, if the second user tendency information is determined to be Hasty Style (943), the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide deceleration if the time remaining until the traffic light turns red at a point located at a predetermined distance from the traffic light location is less than or equal to the third time (953). Conversely, the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide acceleration if the time remaining until the traffic light turns red exceeds the third time. Here, the predetermined distance may be 100m and the third time may be 4 seconds. That is, deceleration can be guided when there is a relatively short time remaining until the traffic light turns red.

[0086] The predetermined distance, first time, second time, and third time are not limited to the numerical values ​​described above. Within a range of numerical values, the first time may be set longer than the second time, and the second time may be set longer than the third time. In this way, the disclosed vehicle (1) can improve user satisfaction with the route guidance by determining whether to decelerate or accelerate when approaching a traffic light according to user preference information and providing route guidance information.

[0087] Figure 7 illustrates a method for providing navigation information when the driving situation is approaching a speed camera.

[0088] Referring to FIG. 7, the control unit (600) can determine the driving situation as a situation of approaching a speed camera based on road information and traffic information obtained by the navigation system (500) (1010). The control unit (600) can obtain first user tendency information corresponding to the situation of approaching a speed camera from the server (1020). The control unit (600) can determine second user tendency information based on the behavior data of the vehicle (1) obtained from the sensor (300) (1030). For example, the control unit (600) can determine the second user tendency information regarding the situation of approaching a speed camera as Patient Style, Normal Style, or Hasty Style.

[0089] The control unit (600) can compare the first user preference information and the second user preference information (1040) and control the user interface device (200) to provide route guidance information based on the result of the comparison. If the first user preference information and the second user preference information are the same, the control unit (600) can provide route guidance information based on the first user preference information.

[0090] For example, if the second user preference information is determined to be Patient Style (1041), the control unit (600) can control the user interface device (200) to guide deceleration at a location further than a predetermined distance from the location of the speed camera (1051). The predetermined distance may be a point 600m away from the entrance point of the entrance road. That is, if the user's driving style is Patient Style, deceleration may be guided from a point 1km away from the location of the speed camera.
