Abstract

A terminal device is provided to output information about using a transport device for a travel to a destination, a vehicle communicating with the terminal device, a personal mobility device communicating with the terminal device, a method of controlling the terminal device, and a method of controlling the vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle comprising:
an input member configured to receive an input of destination information and an input of an information output mode;
a communicator configured to communicate with a personal mobility device and a terminal device;
a controller configured to communicate with the personal mobility device and the terminal device through the communicator, receive battery charge level information of the personal mobility device, generate navigation information based on the destination information when a navigation function is performed, acquire available driving distance information of the personal mobility device corresponding to the navigation information and the battery charge level information, when the information output mode input by the input member is a manual mode, acquire remaining distance information to the destination based on the navigation information, determine availability of the personal mobility device based on the acquired available driving distance information and the acquired remaining distance information to the destination and control the communicator to transmit the navigation information and a command to communicate with the personal mobility device to the terminal device when the personal mobility device is selected as a transport device via the input member, when the information output mode input by the input member is an automatic mode, identify schedule information of a user, determine availability of the personal mobility device based on scheduled time of the schedule information and traveling speed information of the personal mobility device, and control output of the determined availability; and
a display configured to output the acquired available driving distance information of the personal mobility device and output the determined availability.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising a speed detector configured to detect a driving speed,
wherein the communicator communicates with a server through the communicator, and
the controller receives traffic information from the server, predicts arrival time at a destination in a case of traveling by the vehicle based on the received traffic information, the navigation information, and the detected driving speed, and controls output of the predicted arrival time.

3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller receives traveling speed information of the personal mobility device, predicts arrival time at a destination in a case of traveling by the personal mobility device based on the received traveling speed information of the personal mobility device and the navigation information, and controls output of the predicted arrival time.

4. The vehicle of claim 3 , wherein when the information output mode is the automatic mode, the controller is configured to determine availability of the personal mobility device based on the acquired available driving distance information and the acquired remaining distance information to the destination.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller acquires parking lot information based on the acquired available driving distance information of the personal mobility device and the navigation information, and controls output of the acquired parking lot information.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller identifies available driving distance information of the vehicle corresponding to fuel level information, acquires gas station information based on the navigation information, acquires parking lot information based on the available driving distance information of the vehicle, available driving distance information of the personal mobility device, the navigation information, and the gas station information, and controls output of the acquired parking lot information.

7. The vehicle of claim 1 , further including an autonomous driving controller to control autonomous driving and an autonomous parking controller to control autonomous parking,
wherein the controller acquires remaining distance information based on current position information and destination information, is configured to determine availability of the personal mobility device based on the available driving distance information and a remaining distance information, and controls output of information about the determined availability, and when the personal mobility device is selected as transport device, transmits an operation command to the autonomous driving controller and the autonomous parking controller.

8. A terminal device comprising:
an input member configured to receive an input of destination information and an input of an information output mode;
a communicator configured to communicate with a personal mobility device and receive current position information;
a controller configured to receive battery charge level information of the personal mobility device, generate navigation information based on the destination information when a navigation function is performed, acquire remaining distance information to the destination based on the navigation information, acquire available driving distance information of the personal mobility device corresponding to the battery charge level information, predict arrival time at a destination based on the navigation information, the current position information, and traveling speed information of the personal mobility device when the personal mobility device is selected as a transport device via the input member, and controls output of the predicted arrival time; and
a display configured to output the acquired available driving distance information of the personal mobility device use information and output the determined availability,
wherein, when the information output mode input by the input member is an automatic mode, the controller is configured to determine availability of the personal mobility device based on the remaining distance information to the destination, the acquired available driving distance information, scheduled time of schedule information of a user, and the predicted arrival time, and
when the information output mode input by the input member is an manual mode, the controller is configured to determine availability of the personal mobility device based on the remaining distance information to the destination, and the acquired available driving distance information.

9. The terminal device of claim 8 , further comprising a speed detector configured to detect a driving speed of a vehicle,
wherein the communicator communicates with a server, and
the controller receives traffic information from the server through the communicator, predicts arrival time at a destination in a case of traveling by the vehicle based on the received traffic information, the navigation information, and the detected driving speed of the vehicle, and controls output of the predicted arrival time.

10. The terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the controller acquires parking lot information based on the acquired available driving distance information of the personal mobility device and the navigation information, and controls output of the acquired parking lot information.

11. A personal mobility device comprising:
a battery configured to supply driving power to a motor;
a battery charge level detector configured to detect a battery charge level;
a storage configured to store available driving distance information and available driving time information corresponding to the battery charge level information and store traveling speed information;
a communicator configured to communicate with at least one device of a vehicle and a terminal device;
a controller configured to communicate with the communicator, control the communicator to trans
