1. A method for controlling a vehicle terminal including computer processors providing a vehicle interface, the method comprising:

  • providing a first function related with the vehicle interface;

    delaying an execution time of a second function under a predetermined condition, if an execution of the second function which is different from the first function of the terminal is requested during a time period corresponding to a predetermined event which occurs during the providing of the first function;

    executing a predetermined additional function to compensate for the execution time delay of the second function when the execution of the second function has been delayed; and

    resuming the second function based on operation results of the additional function when the execution time delay of the second function is ended,wherein the delaying comprises;

    previously storing in a memory of the terminal, a mapping table including state information, the predetermined event corresponding to the state information, and a delay time period corresponding to the predetermined event,wherein the state information is determined by at least one of attribute values of processes executed by a control unit of the terminal, vehicle interface control information processed by the control unit, and sensing information of a sensing unit of the terminal; and

    determining a delay condition and a delay time for the second function using the mapping table so that the execution time delay of the second function is determined by the predetermined event.
