Abstract

Provided is telematics equipment connected to various devices of a vehicle, and configured to receive information from the exterior through a network, the telematics equipment including: a certification module for receiving personal information from a driver of the vehicle to provide use authority; a collecting module for collecting propensity and pattern information when the driver uses the various devices of the vehicle; a database for storing the collected propensity and pattern information; a personalization module for analyzing the collected propensity and pattern information and extracting preference information of the driver; and a processing module for receiving the preference information from the personalization module and generating signals for controlling the various devices, whereby it is possible to extract the preference of the driver through the personalization to set the various devices of the vehicle to the driver in an optimal state.

Claims

1. Telematics equipment connected to various devices of a vehicle, and configured to receive information from the exterior through a network, the telematics equipment comprising:

a collecting module for collecting propensity and pattern information when a driver uses the various devices of the vehicle;

a personalization module for analyzing the collected propensity and pattern information and extracting preference information of the driver; and

a processing module for receiving the preference information from the personalization module and generating signals for controlling the various devices.

2. The telematics equipment according to claim 1, wherein the various devices comprise electronic control devices which are installed in the vehicle and personal handheld terminals.

3. The telematics equipment according to claim 1, wherein the preference information is information for determining a preference action of the driver, and the pattern information is information for analyzing the preference action according to time.

4. The telematics equipment according to claim 1, wherein the personalization module extracts the preference information periodically or non-periodically according to a predetermined rule.

5. The telematics equipment according to claim 4, wherein the rule is an extraction algorithm according to at least one of the number of uses, priority order, and probability.

6. The telematics equipment according to claim 1, wherein the personalization module extracts the preference information when the telematics equipment is initially operated.

7. The telematics equipment according to claim 1, further comprising:

a certification module for receiving personal information from the driver of the vehicle to provide use authority; and

a database for storing the collected propensity and pattern information.

8. The telematics equipment according to claim 7, wherein the personalization module deletes and arranges the information stored in the database periodically and non-periodically to effectively operate the database.
