Abstract

An embodiment vehicle includes a user interface configured to guide a route to a destination and receive a user input and a controller configured to determine whether a highlight mark for a point of interest corresponding to the destination is set, control the user interface to display a pop-up message according to the determination result, receive the user input in response to the pop-up message, and set the highlight mark for the point of interest based on the user input.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle comprising:
a user interface display configured to guide a route to a destination and receive a user input; and
a controller configured to:
determine whether a highlight mark for a point of interest corresponding to the destination is set,
control the user interface to display a first pop-up message for receiving the user input when the highlight mark is not set,
receive the user input in response to the first pop-up message, and
set the highlight mark for the point of interest in response to the receiving of the user input;

wherein, when the vehicle arrives at the destination and after the highlight mark is set, the controller is configured to control the user interface to display a second pop-up message for performing an evaluation of an accuracy of the highlight mark of the point of interest corresponding to the destination,
wherein the controller is configured to control the user interface to display a plurality of icons together, at least one of the icons of the plurality of icons is for setting the highlight mark for the point of interest to a parking lot of the destination, and at least another one of the icons of the plurality of icons is for setting the highlight mark for the point of interest to a pedestrian entrance of the destination, and
wherein the controller is configured to control the user interface to display a contour line for the point of interest corresponding to the destination in order for a user to directly set a size of the highlight mark for the point of interest.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first pop-up message is a message for determining whether to set the point of interest corresponding to the destination from a user.

3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein, when the highlight mark for the point of interest is set, the first pop-up message is a message for determining whether to change the highlight mark for the point of interest.

4. A vehicle comprising:
a user interface display configured to guide a route to a destination and receive a user input, wherein the user input is an input for setting a highlight mark and setting a size of the highlight mark; and
a controller configured to:
determine whether the highlight mark is set for a point of interest corresponding to the destination,
control the user interface to display a first pop-up message for receiving the user input when the highlight mark is not set,
receive the user input in response to the first pop-up message, and
set the highlight mark for the point of interest in response to the receiving of the user input;

wherein, when the vehicle arrives at the destination and after the highlight mark is set, the controller is configured to control the user interface to display a second pop-up message for performing an evaluation of an accuracy of the highlight mark of the point of interest corresponding to the destination,
wherein the controller is configured to control the user interface to display a plurality of icons together, at least one of the icons of the plurality of icons is for setting the highlight mark for the point of interest to a parking lot of the destination, and at least another one of the icons of the plurality of icons is for setting the highlight mark for the point of interest to a pedestrian entrance of the destination, and
wherein the controller is configured to control the user interface to display a contour line for the point of interest corresponding to the destination in order for a user to directly set the size of the highlight mark for the point of interest.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine whether to change the highlight mark for the point of interest based on the evaluation of the accuracy performed.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the user input comprises at least one input of a touch or a drag and drop.

7. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to set the highlight mark to the parking lot of the destination when a user touches the highlight mark for the point of interest corresponding to the destination, drags the highlight mark while maintaining the touch, and drops the highlight mark to a position corresponding to a first icon indicating the parking lot.

8. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to set the highlight mark to the pedestrian entrance of the destination when a user touches the highlight mark for the point of interest corresponding to the destination, drags the highlight mark while maintaining the touch, and drops the highlight mark to a position corresponding to a second icon indicating the pedestrian entrance.

9. A control method of a vehicle, the control method comprising:
determining whether a highlight mark for a point of interest corresponding to a destination is set;
displaying a first pop-up message on a user interface according to a result of the determination;
receiving a user input in response to the first pop-up message;
setting the highlight mark for the point of interest based on the user input;
after a user arrives at the destination, displaying a second pop-up message on the user interface for performing an evaluation of an accuracy of the highlight mark of the point of interest corresponding to the destination;
displaying a plurality of icons together, wherein at least one of the icons of the plurality of icons is for setting the highlight mark for the point of interest to a parking lot of the destination, and at least another one of the icons of the plurality of icons is for setting the highlight mark for the point of interest to a pedestrian entrance of the destination; and
displaying a contour line for the point of interest corresponding to the destination in order for the user to directly set a size of the highlight mark for the point of interest.

10. The control method of claim 9 , wherein:
the determining comprises determining that the highlight mark for the point of interest corresponding to the destination is not set; and
the first pop-up message is a message for determining whether to set the point of interest corresponding to the destination from a user.

11. The control method of claim 9 , wherein:
the determining comprises determining that the highlight mark for the point of interest is not set; and
the first pop-up message on the user interface is a message for determining whether to set the highlight mark for the point of interest.

12. The control method of claim 9 , wherein:
the determining comprises determining that the highlight mark for the point of interest is set; and
the first pop-up message on the user interface is a message for determining whether to change the highlight mark for the point of interest.

13. The control method of claim 9 , wherein the user input is an input for setting the size of the highlight mark.

14. The control method of claim 9 , further comprising determining whether to change the highlight mark for the point of interest based on the evaluation of the accuracy performed.

15. The control method of claim 9 , wherein the user input comprises a touch.

16. The control method of claim 9 , wherein setting the highlight mark for the point of interest comprises setting the highlight mark to the parking lot of the destination in response to a user touching the highlight mark for the point of interest corresponding to the destination, dragging the highlight mark while maintaining the touch, and dropping the highlight mark to a position corresponding to a first icon indicating the parking lot.

17. The control method of claim 9 , wh
