Abstract

There is provided a method for providing driver's driving information of a user terminal device, including accessing a driving information providing server storing data generated in a driving recording device for a vehicle, receiving driving record data including event record data corresponding to a driving-related event of a driver from the driving information providing server, and displaying a driving-related event occurrence location on a map using the received driving record data. The driving-related event may include at least two or more of a lane departure event, a forward collision possibility event, a rear side collision possibility event, a sudden deceleration event, a sudden acceleration event, a sudden stop event, a sudden start event, and a speeding event.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for providing driver's driving information of a user terminal device, the method comprising:
accessing a driving information providing server storing data generated in a driving recording device for a vehicle;
receiving driving record data including event record data corresponding to a driving-related event of a driver from the driving information providing server;
displaying a driving-related event occurrence location on a map of a driving information user interface using the received driving record data; and
displaying at least one icon visually distinguished and associated with frequency of the driving-related event occurrence according to kind of event types on a driving information display region of a main user interface,
wherein the driving information user interface and the main user interface are separated user interfaces,
wherein the driving information display region is displayed by date, and the driving information display region displays past data as it moves in specific direction according to user input,
wherein the icon is visually distinguished by having a different size according to the frequency of the driving-related event occurrence, and
wherein the driving-related event includes at least two or more of a lane departure event, a forward collision possibility event, a rear side collision possibility event.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the driving-related event further includes at least one of a sudden deceleration event, a sudden acceleration event, a sudden stop event, a sudden start event, and a speeding event.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event record data includes location information corresponding to a location where the driving-related event occurs, time information corresponding to a time at which the driving-related event occurs, and event type information corresponding to a type of the driving-related event.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying includes displaying a driving route of the driver and an event icon indicating the driving-related event occurrence location on the driving route, wherein the icon is displayed to be distinguished from each other according to types of events.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
displaying, when the event icon displayed on the map is selected, event occurrence reason information corresponding to the selected event icon as a pop-up window on the map.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
displaying, when the event icon displayed on the map is selected, the map based on the selected event icon by scaling up the map.

7. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
displaying, when the event icon displayed on the map is selected, an image of an event corresponding to the selected event icon as a pop-up window.

8. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
displaying, when the event icon displayed on the map is selected, a driving-related event list including event detail information corresponding to the selected event icon and event detail information corresponding to an event that occurs before and/or after the selected event icon.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein each of a plurality of event detail information included in the driving-related event list is selectable according to a user input, and when one of the plurality of event detail information is selected according to the user input, an event occurrence location on a driving route corresponding to the selected event detail information is displayed on the map.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a driving record list classified monthly and daily using the received driving record data,
wherein at least one of driving time information or driving distance information corresponding to each item is displayed on each item of the driving record list.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the map and the driving record list are displayed on one screen.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
displaying, when one item on the driving record list is selected, a driving route of the driver and an event occurrence location on the driving route corresponding to the selected item on the map.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying an event driving record of the driver for a predetermined period of time in a region of a main user interface,
wherein the region displays a driving record by adjusting a size of a figure according to the number of each kind of the driving record.

14. A user terminal device for providing driver's driving information, the user terminal device comprising:
a display unit;
a communication unit accessing a driving information providing server storing data generated in a driving recording device for a vehicle and receiving driving record data including event record data corresponding to a driving-related event of a driver from the driving information providing server; and
a controller controlling the display unit to display a driving-related event occurrence location on a map of a driving information user interface using the received driving record data,
wherein the controller displays at least one icon visually distinguished and associated with frequency of the driving-related event occurrence according to kind of event types on a driving information display region of a main user interface,
wherein the driving information user interface and the main user interface are separated user interfaces,
wherein the driving information display region is displayed by date, and the driving information display region displays past data as it moves in specific direction according to user input,
wherein the icon is visually distinguished by having a different size according to the frequency of the driving-related event occurrence, and
wherein the driving-related event includes at least two or more of a lane departure event, a forward collision possibility event, a rear side collision possibility event.

15. The user terminal device of claim 14 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to display a driving route of the driver and an event icon indicating the driving-related event occurrence location on the driving route, wherein the event icon is displayed to be distinguished from each other according to types of events.

16. The user terminal device of claim 15 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to display, when the event icon displayed on the map is selected, event occurrence reason information corresponding to the selected event icon as a pop-up window on the map.

17. The user terminal device of claim 15 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to display, when the event icon displayed on the map is selected, the map based on the selected event icon by scaling up the map.

18. The user terminal device of claim 15 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to display, when the event icon displayed on the map is selected, an image of an event corresponding to the selected event icon as a pop-up window.

19. The user terminal device of claim 14 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to display a driving record list classified monthly and daily using the received driving record data,
wherein at least one of driving time information or driving distance information corresponding to each item are displayed at each item of the driving record list.

20. A non-transitory computer readable recording storage medium containing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or mo
