APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING MULTIMEDIA DEVICE ACCORDING TO DRIVING CONDITIONS OF VEHICLE

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus for controlling a multimedia device according to driving conditions of a vehicle, which is capable of determining the degree of risk during driving by respectively considering various driving conditions of a driving vehicle and the control frequency of a driver for the multimedia device installed in the vehicle, and warning the driver and restricting the control of the multimedia device, according to the determined degree of risk. To this end, the apparatus of the present invention comprises: at least one sensor for detecting the driving characteristics information occurring during the driving of the vehicle; an electronic control unit for determining driving conditions, based on the driving characteristics information detected from at least one sensor, determining the degree of control of a driver for a multimedia device installed in the vehicle, and calculating the degree of risk for the vehicle according to the resulting value of a comprehensive diagnosis of the determined driving conditions and the degree of control of the driver for the multimedia device, thereby controlling the output of a warning message corresponding to the degree of risk and restricting the control of the multimedia device; and the multimedia device for providing the electronic control unit with a device control event occurring according to the device control of the driver, and restricting the device control of the driver under the control of the electronic control unit, according to the risk diagnosis result obtained through the electronic control unit.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2014; [Reference numerals] (10) Steering Sensor; (102) Key input unit; (104) Remote control; (106) Multimedia control unit; (108) Information port; (110) External signal input unit; (112) Audio output unit; (114) Video output unit; (12) Gyro sensor; (14) Vehicle speed sensor; (16) ABS sensor; (20) Memory; (22) Driving conditions determination unit; (24) Multimedia determination unit; (26) Diagnosis unit; (28) Restriction command execution unit; (32) Display unit
