BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for automatically adjusting a broadcast frequency to be received in response to a position of a vehicle,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for automatically adjusting a broadcast frequency to be received in response to a position of a vehicle, and more particularly, to a system and method for automatically adjusting a broadcast frequency to be viewed or heard by a driver or a passenger And a method for automatically changing the apparatus.

The vehicle includes a device capable of receiving radio broadcasts. Unlike video, TV, etc., radio broadcasts may not interfere with the visual attention of the driver, so drivers can listen to the radio while driving while considering driving safety. The car's built-in radio or audio device is designed to store the frequency of the radio channel that the driver often listens to, and it is easy to select the radio channel of choice for the driver with simple button operation.

The driver can see a sign that guides the frequency of the radio channel as it passes through the boundary of the area while driving. The frequencies of channels of radio broadcast or TV broadcast are set differently for each region. For example, the radio channel of a particular station may be 89.1 MHz in Region A, or 98.5 MHz in Region B. The reason why the frequencies of the channels are different in each region is that the advertisements broadcast through the channels are different from each other. Of course, if the channel is different in each area, the broadcasting station may be easier to transmit the local information.

Due to the operation of the frequency channel for such radio broadcasting, the driver of the vehicle may not be able to receive the radio broadcast received during operation when moving from region A to region B. In order to receive the same broadcast, the driver must have information on the frequency channel of the radio broadcast and be able to select the frequency channel by operating the radio device while driving. Operation of such a radio device may deteriorate driving safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an apparatus and various methods to which embodiments of the present invention are applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The suffix "module" and " part "for the components used in the following description are given or mixed in consideration of ease of specification, and do not have their own meaning or role.

In the description of the embodiments, when it is described as being formed on the "upper" or "lower" of each element, the upper or lower (lower) And that at least one further component is formed and arranged between the two components. Also, the expression "upward" or "downward" may include not only an upward direction but also a downward direction on the basis of one component.

In order to reduce user inconvenience in an environment where the broadcasting frequency such as radio / DMB varies in each region, a control device mounted on the vehicle changes the broadcasting frequency based on the location information (e.g., GPS information) of the vehicle or searches for a new broadcasting channel There may be a device to do this. However, it may be difficult to satisfactorily satisfy the user or the driver by simply changing the broadcast frequency automatically at a specific region or boundary and listening to a broadcast such as radio / DMB continuously while driving without the need for the user or the driver to operate. The user or the driver automatically detects and switches the radio frequency of a broadcast receiver (e.g., car audio, radio device, etc.) mounted on the vehicle regardless of whether the vehicle is moving in each region and continuously broadcasts the radio / DMB It may be necessary to provide a method and apparatus for automatically detecting a broadcast frequency.

For example, if the user moves to a boundary region of a state / state while listening to a radio broadcast while driving, frequencies of the regions are different, so that the user or the driver can listen to the radio of the corresponding city / state through manual channel search. The navigation device mounted on the vehicle may include the corresponding frequency information of the trial boundary region of the map information in the map information in order to solve the issue of the name of the broadcasting station being erroneously displayed, and display the corresponding frequency name through periodical updating. However, the driver or user may wish to continue listening to the particular radio broadcast he / she was listening to while moving to the state / province boundary.

1 illustrates a method of automatically changing a broadcast frequency in a running vehicle.

As shown, the vehicle 36 may cross the 'I' area to the 'I' area in the course of driving the road 32. Here, the 'a' area and the 'b' area are described for explanatory purposes, and may mean an area where the frequency of broadcasting such as an administrative area or a radio / DMB can be changed. When the vehicle 36 moves past the boundaries of the two areas where the frequency of the broadcast is changed, the broadcast receiver (e.g., multimedia device 38) mounted on the vehicle informs the user or the driver "Quot; and a broadcast frequency received by the broadcast receiver 38 may be changed so that the user or the driver can continue to listen to the same broadcast while moving in the area. In order to realize the above-mentioned object, the vehicle 36 can be connected to the network server 34 via a wireless data communication network.

For example, when the vehicle 36 is able to access the network server 34, it can automatically switch the broadcast channel when moving in the boundary of the city / province during driving. The network server 34 can receive frequency information corresponding to the area to automatically switch broadcasting channels and frequencies such as radio / DMB.

It is assumed that the user or the driver is receiving the traffic broadcast. For example, in Seoul / Gyeonggi area, traffic broadcasting can be transmitted at FM 95.1 MHz, in the case of Daejeon area, FM 102.9 MHz, and in Gangwon area, at 105.9 MHz. When the driver or the user moves to the city / province boundary area while listening to the traffic broadcast, the position of the vehicle can be recognized through the GPS terminal or the navigation device. At this time, the telematics terminal or the communication modem installed in the vehicle 36 can receive from the network server 34 how the frequency of the traffic broadcast is changed in the moving area. The broadcast receiver 38 mounted on the vehicle 36 may automatically change the reception frequency by using the new broadcast frequency information received through the network server 34 or may change the reception frequency Menu can be provided.

2 illustrates a control device in a vehicle capable of receiving a broadcast channel such as a radio / DMB.

As shown, the vehicle 36 includes a broadcast receiving apparatus 22 for providing a broadcast according to a radio / DMB channel, a navigation device 28 for confirming whether the vehicle 36 moves to a predetermined two-region boundary, And a telematics terminal 24 for requesting confirmation from the network server of the change of the radio / DMB channel in the two preset areas and receiving the changed frequency of the radio / DMB channel from the network server, a frequency of the received radio / And a broadcast controller 26 for re-tuning the radio / DMB channel according to a user setting.

Here, the broadcast controller 26 may be included in the broadcast receiving apparatus 22, or may be implemented as a processor or a processing system including a separate control device, a separate program, and the like. According to an embodiment, the broadcast controller 26 may be included in the telematics terminal 240 to control the broadcast receiving device 22.

According to the embodiment, the broadcast receiving apparatus 22 may be a part constituting a vehicle multimedia system. The broadcast receiving apparatus 22 can receive a radio broadcast, a DMB broadcast, or an IPTV broadcast. Also, the vehicle 36 may include at least one broadcast receiving apparatus 22, or may provide broadcasts of different channels corresponding to seats.

The telematics terminal 24 can transmit the location information of the vehicle 36 and information on the radio / DMB channel to the network server every predetermined period. For example, the predetermined period may be one second. The vehicle 36 can be connected to the network server via the wireless data communication network in order to receive the driving condition or the traveling environment including the traffic information of the road on which the vehicle 36 is running, Or the radio / DMB channel the driver is listening to.

According to the embodiment, the information on the radio / DMB channel may not have a high priority among data that the vehicle 36 and the network server can exchange for driving guidance, driving safety, and the like. In this case, the vehicle 36 may provide information on the radio / DMB channel and the like once every several times of the cycle of connecting to the network server.

Although not shown, the vehicle 36 may further include a storage for storing user settings and an interface for receiving user settings. Here, the user setting may be determined corresponding to at least one of the user's listening history and the vehicle driving conditions.

For example, the user listening history may include a priority of a radio / DMB channel determined based on the number of times of reception of a radio / DMB channel stored for each region where the vehicle travels. The user listening history may be closely related to the user's preference. The user or the driver during the predetermined period may collect the broadcast program or the broadcast channel that the user has listened to while driving the vehicle, and classify the broadcast program or the broadcast channel by time or region. The user listening history classified in this way can be presented to the driver or the user or automatically converted and adjusted when the driving situation corresponding to the classification comes.

In addition, the vehicle running condition may include at least one of a time when the vehicle travels, a speed at which the vehicle travels, and a type of road on which the vehicle travels. For example, the time at which the vehicle travels may include day / night information that can be determined using an illuminance sensor mounted on the vehicle. If the running time is a week, a guide message or a pop-up message for the radio / DMB channel may be output to receive a user or driver's selection and provide a corresponding broadcast. On the other hand, if the driving time is at night, the radio / DMB channel can be readjusted in response to the user's listening history without outputting a guidance message or a pop-up message for the radio / DMB channel for safety of driving.

Depending on the embodiment, the speed at which the vehicle travels may comprise a predetermined threshold speed. If the vehicle being driven is slower than the critical speed, a guidance message or a pop-up message for the radio / DMB channel may be output to receive the selection of the user or the driver. On the other hand, if the vehicle is faster than the critical speed, the radio / DMB channel can be automatically re-adjusted in response to the user's listening history without outputting a message or pop-up message for the radio / DMB channel for driving safety.

On the other hand, the type of road on which the vehicle travels may include a lane on the road. The lane on the road can be a standard for estimating driving safety. If the lane of the road on which the vehicle is traveling is more than two lanes (one way), a driver or a user's selection can be input by outputting a guidance message or pop-up message for the radio / DMB channel. On the other hand, when the lane of the road on which the vehicle is traveling is a lane, the radio / DMB channel can be automatically re-adjusted in response to the user's listening history without outputting a message or pop-up message for the radio / DMB channel .

The guidance message or the pop-up message determined by the control device of the vehicle broadcast receiver 22 and presented through the interface of the broadcast receiver 22 may be in the form of text or voice. The guide message or the pop-up message may indicate at least one of a broadcast program name and a broadcast station name matched with the frequency of the radio / DMB channel. Also, depending on the embodiment, the message may be represented by symbols, ramps, sounds, markings, etc., and replaced.

FIG. 3 illustrates a control method of a vehicle receiver capable of receiving a broadcast channel such as a radio / DMB.

As shown, the method of controlling a vehicle receiver includes providing a broadcast according to a radio / DMB channel (step 50), confirming whether the vehicle moves to a boundary between two predetermined areas (step 52) A step 56 of confirming the change of the radio / DMB channel to the network server, a step 56 of receiving the changed frequency of the radio / DMB channel from the network server, (Step 58), and re-tuning the radio / DMB channel according to user settings.

Here, the step 54 of confirming with the network server may include transmitting the location information of the vehicle and the information on the radio / DMB channel to the network server every predetermined period. For example, the predetermined period may be one second.

The vehicle is connected to the network server while the vehicle is running, and the information about the broadcast currently being heard by the user or the driver is transmitted. In response to the information, the network server transmits information about the broadcast frequency that may vary depending on the vehicle traveling position . By automatically adjusting the frequency through the received information, the vehicle has the advantage that the same broadcast can be continuously and continuously provided to the driver or the user regardless of the position in which the vehicle is traveling.

Further, the vehicle receiver may be controlled according to the setting of the user or the preference of the user. For example, the user setting can be determined corresponding to at least one of the user's listening history and the vehicle driving conditions.

Here, the user listening history may include a priority order of a radio / DMB channel determined based on the number of times of reception of the radio / DMB channel stored for each region where the vehicle travels. By providing the driver or user with information on the broadcast channel along with the priority, the driver or the user can reduce the time and effort required for selection, change, and adjustment of the broadcast channel while driving. This has the effect of enabling the driver or the user to maintain safety while driving.

On the other hand, the vehicle driving condition may include at least one of the time when the vehicle travels, the speed at which the vehicle travels, and the type of road the vehicle travels. For example, the time at which the vehicle travels may include day / night information that can be determined using an illuminance sensor mounted on the vehicle. According to the daytime or nighttime information, the driver or the user may be provided with a menu for broadcasting selection so that driving safety can be achieved, or the broadcasting reception frequency may be automatically readjusted or reset without a notification or a menu.

In addition, the speed at which the vehicle travels may include a predetermined threshold speed, and the vehicle receiver may be controlled in different ways depending on the current speed of the vehicle while driving. If the running speed of the vehicle is faster than the critical speed, the broadcasting reception frequency can be automatically re-adjusted or reset in response to the user's listening history without providing a menu for broadcasting selection for the safety of the driver or the user.

On the other hand, the control of the vehicle receiver may be different depending on the type of the road on which the vehicle is currently traveling. For example, if the vehicle is traveling on a highway, the broadcast reception frequency may be automatically re-adjusted or reset rather than providing a menu of choices for the driver or user for driving safety. In addition, in the case of a one-lane road, the radio / DMB channel can be readjusted in response to a user's listening history without outputting a guidance message or a pop-up message to the radio / DMB channel.

A menu, a guidance message, or a pop-up message provided to the user may display at least one of a broadcasting program name and a broadcasting station name matched with the frequency of the radio / DMB channel.

4 illustrates an example of a broadcast channel change of a radio / DMB or the like.

As shown, the vehicle may include a telematics terminal, a navigation device, a multimedia device, and the like.

The multimedia device included in the vehicle may include a broadcast receiver capable of receiving a broadcast such as a radio / DMB. For example, the multimedia device may provide a broadcast channel or a broadcast program selected by the driver or the user during driving.

For the sake of explanation, it is assumed that the current vehicle is traveling in the Seoul / Gyeonggi area and the user or driver is listening to the radio traffic broadcast. For example, in the Seoul / Gyeonggi area, the radio frequency of the traffic broadcast channel may be FM 95.1MHz. Also, the vehicle may be traveling from Seoul / Gyeonggi area to Gangwon province area.

The navigation device mounted on the vehicle can continuously check whether the vehicle is entering the boundary between the Seoul / Gyeonggi area and the Gangwon province area. If the vehicle enters the boundary between the Seoul / Gyeonggi area and the Gangwon province area, the navigation device can notify the telematics terminal of the fact. At this time, the telematics terminal can request and receive information about a broadcast channel or a broadcast program provided by the multimedia device.

The vehicle can transmit the broadcast station information about the broadcast currently being listened and the current location based on the GPS to the cloud server. The vehicle can provide the broadcasting station information and the current position according to a predetermined period. For example, the predetermined period may be one second or a few seconds.

The cloud center can confirm the frequency of the broadcast channel in the area where the vehicle is moving based on the information transmitted from the vehicle. For example, in the Gangwon Province area, the radio frequency of the traffic broadcast channel may be FM 105.9 MHz.

The cloud center can find frequencies for each of the broadcast channels in a particular area through a database search. According to an embodiment, the cloud center may inquire information on a broadcast channel to a broadcast information providing server (CP) to receive accurate information.

The cloud center can deliver information about the broadcast channel of the area requested by the vehicle to the vehicle. The telematics terminal mounted on the vehicle can confirm the frequency information received from the cloud center and transmit it to change the reception frequency of the multimedia device.

On the other hand, the telematics terminal may provide user setting information (e.g., a customer setting menu) to automatically determine according to the user operation condition / setting value to determine the change of the receiving frequency of the multimedia device.

For example, the user setting information may include a listening history setting, a vehicle driving condition setting, and the like. The listening history setting can be useful when the user saves broadcasting information mainly heard in the terminal DB when the user moves in the area, and then transmits a plurality of broadcasting information about the area from the cloud server. When the listening history setting is applied ("ON"), the corresponding broadcasting can be selected and provided based on the priority of the database storing the listening history information. Here, the priority setting may be a method of automatically storing broadcasting station information when a vehicle moves to a corresponding area, and setting a priority order when receiving the largest number of broadcasts based on the stored number of times.

In addition, the vehicle traveling condition setting can be set by the user as follows, and the vehicle terminal can select and reproduce the corresponding broadcasting station reproducing method according to the set value. For example, the conditions for setting the driving conditions of the vehicle may be different from each other by selecting the conditions such as speed, day / night, and driving road conditions.

More specifically, with respect to the running speed, all of the broadcast stations can be displayed as pop-ups in a running condition where the running speed is 20 km or less so that the selector can be selected. Also, regarding the main / night, it is possible to automatically select and provide the pop-up in the night mode using the illuminance sensor of the vehicle as the setting reference of the listening history. In addition, it is possible to automatically select and provide the road conditions under the driving condition of the vehicle from the navigation device and set the reference of the listening history when the road condition is not a two-lane highway / highway. On the other hand, in the case of a two-lane highway / highway, it is possible to display a pop-up message or the like so that the user can select the broadcasting station information by displaying all broadcasting station information.

It is possible to display all broadcasting station information to the driver or the user. For example, if you do not use the setting for the listening history (OFF), judge that the condition is less than 20 Km, the two-lane highway / highway (except night mode) All the broadcasting station information can be displayed in accordance with the request of the driver.

Meanwhile, when the vehicle moves in the area, the cloud server can determine the location of the vehicle, and can transmit the broadcast station information of the corresponding area to the driver or the user together with the broadcast channel frequency and the broadcast name. For example, it may be in a format such as " 000 frequency + broadcast name 1 ". If the setting for the listening history is not used (OFF), it is possible to display information about the broadcast station or the broadcasting station most frequently listened to by the in-vehicle telematics terminal other than the cloud server.

Based on the above-described embodiment, a vehicle transmits user broadcasting information to a vehicle on the basis of a vehicle location by interlocking a terminal having a modem function and a cloud server, and transmits a user- Automatic switching service can be provided.

The method according to the above-described embodiments may be implemented as a program to be executed by a computer and stored in a computer-readable recording medium. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD- , A floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like, and may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet).

The computer readable recording medium may be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. And, functional program, code, and code segments for implementing the above-described method can be easily inferred by programmers in the technical field to which the embodiment belongs.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by rational interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the scope of equivalents of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
