Abstract

In a method and a system for recommending a vehicle control mode based on a vehicle situation, the method of recommending a vehicle control mode includes receiving satiation information collected from a vehicle for a predetermined time period, based on a data list generated by the vehicle, determining a problem situation of the vehicle, based on the collected situation information, and selecting a control mode that matches the problem situation of the vehicle from among a plurality of pre-stored control modes and transmitting the selected control mode to the vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of recommending a vehicle control mode, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, situation information collected from a vehicle for a predetermined time period, based on a data list generated by the vehicle; determining, by the processor, a problem situation of the vehicle, based on the collected situation information; and selecting, by the processor, the vehicle control mode that matches the problem situation of the vehicle from among a plurality of pre-stored vehicle control modes and transmitting the selected vehicle control mode to the vehicle.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data list includes a driving path of the vehicle, main data of the vehicle, and information on a controller version of the vehicle.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further including, in a situation that it is not possible to determine the problem situation of the vehicle, changing the data list and transmitting the changed data list to the vehicle.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further including, in a situation that there is no vehicle control mode that matches the problem situation of the vehicle in the plurality of pre-stored vehicle control modes, generating a new vehicle control mode.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the new vehicle control mode is generated by receiving a process for a control procedure of the vehicle configured for solving the problem situation of the vehicle from a user.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, in a situation that a request for virtual experience related to the matching vehicle control mode is received from a user, information for the virtual experience is provided in response thereto.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data list is generated based on a region in which the vehicle is running, a type of the vehicle, and current season and weather.

8 . A server for providing information, the server comprising:
a communication unit configured to receive situation information collected from a vehicle for a predetermined time period, based on a data list generated by the vehicle; and a processor operatively connected to the communication unit and configured to:
determine a problem situation of the vehicle, based on the collected situation information, and
select a vehicle control mode that matches the problem situation of the vehicle from among a plurality of pre-stored vehicle control modes.

9 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the data list includes a driving path of the vehicle, main data of the vehicle, and information on a controller version of the vehicle.

10 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to, in a situation that it is not possible to determine the problem situation of the vehicle, change the data list and transmit the changed data list to the vehicle.

11 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to, in a situation that there is no vehicle control mode that matches the problem situation of the vehicle in the plurality of pre-stored vehicle control modes, generate a new vehicle control mode.

12 . The server of claim 11 , wherein the new vehicle control mode is generated by receiving a process for a control procedure of the vehicle configured for solving the problem situation of the vehicle from a user.

13 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to, in a situation that a request for virtual experience related to the matching vehicle control mode is received from a user, provide information for the virtual experience in response thereto.

14 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the data list is generated based on a region in which the vehicle is running, a type of the vehicle, and current season and weather.

15 . A vehicle control mode recommendation system for providing information, the system comprising:
a vehicle control device of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle control device includes:
a communication unit configured to receive situation information; and
a controller including a processor connected to the communication unit and configured to generate a data list;
a server including:
a communication unit operatively connected to the communication unit of the vehicle control device and configured to receive the situation information collected from the processor of the vehicle control device for a predetermined time period, through the communication unit of the vehicle control device, based on the data list received from the processor of the vehicle control device; and
a processor configured to:
determine a problem situation of the vehicle, based on the received situation information, and
select a vehicle control mode that matches the problem situation of the vehicle from among a plurality of pre-stored vehicle control modes, and
transmit the vehicle control mode to the vehicle control device via the communication unit of the server,

wherein the processor of the vehicle control device is configured to control the vehicle according to the the vehicle control mode.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the data list includes a driving path of the vehicle, data of the vehicle, and information on a controller version of the vehicle control device.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor of the server is configured to, in a situation that it is not possible to determine the problem situation of the vehicle control device, change the data list and transmit the changed data list to the vehicle control device.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor of the server is configured to, in a situation that there is no vehicle control mode that matches the problem situation of the vehicle in the plurality of pre-stored vehicle control modes, generate a new vehicle control mode.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the new vehicle control mode is generated by receiving a process for a control procedure of the vehicle configured for solving the problem situation of the vehicle from a user.

20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor of the server is configured to, in a situation that a request for virtual experience related to the matching vehicle control mode is received from a user, provide information for the virtual experience in response thereto.
