- a controller communicatively connected to a display screen and at least one of a sensor system and a communication device, and receiving driving information of the vehicle through the at least one of the sensor system and the communication device; and
a processor communicatively connected to the controller and configured to;
collect driving information received through the controller and at least one of the sensor system and the communication device while the vehicle runs and recognize a current driving state of the vehicle based on the collected driving information;
determine a view mode based on a speed of the vehicle and a driving direction of the vehicle;
view-transform images around the vehicle, which are taken by a camera system, based on a position and an angle of a virtual camera corresponding to the determined view mode, and generate a view transformation image for display on the display communicatively connected to the processor through the controller; and
display state information corresponding to the recognized driving state of the vehicle through the view transformation image on the display screen communicatively connected through the controller,wherein the processor is configured to display a degree of driving risk and direction information of the vehicle in the view transformation image based on state information according to an approach state of an obstacle or a nearby vehicle, state information according to, a position of a driving lane of the vehicle, and state information according to a lane change of the vehicle,wherein the processor is configured to display a plurality of bars indicative of the state information and respectively positioned around the vehicle in the view transformation image, and to display a corresponding stage among multiple stages of the degree of driving risk through the bars, andwherein the processor is configured to display the bars separately in directions around the vehicle and differently display one or more of a color, contrast, shape, or number of one or more bars in a direction in which a difference in driving risk occurred in accordance with the degree of the driving risk.

Abstract
A driving information guide apparatus of a vehicle includes a controller and a processor. The controller is communicatively connected to at least one of a sensor system and a communication device of the vehicle, and receives driving information of the vehicle. The processor collects driving information received through the controller while the vehicle runs and recognizes a current driving state of the vehicle based on the driving information. The processor determines a view mode based on a speed of the vehicle and a driving direction of the vehicle, and view-transforms images taken around the vehicle by a camera system based on a position and an angle of a virtual camera corresponding to the determined view mode. The processor thereby generates a view transformation image, and displays state information corresponding to the recognized driving state of the vehicle through the view transformation image on a display screen of the vehicle.
