Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a terminal, including an output unit; an image sensor configured to capture an image; and a controller functionally connected to the output unit and the image sensor. The controller controls to recognize a signal light on an image captured by the image sensor, and output the signal information of the recognized signal light through the output unit. The signal information includes at least one of a signal state of the signal light, a signal change expected time, an expected time required to pass through a signal light from a current location, and an expected signal change frequency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A terminal configured to be operated in a vehicle, the terminal comprising: an output unit; an image sensor configured to capture an image; a controller functionally connected to the output unit and the image sensor; and a sensing unit functionally connected to the controller and configured to sense a moving state of the vehicle, wherein the controller is configured to: recognize a signal light on the image captured by the image sensor, output si…
