SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING FUEL-EFFICIENT DRIVING INFORMATION FOR VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A system for providing fuel-efficient driving information for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a fuel-efficient driving area calculation unit for calculating a variable fuel-efficient driving area, which is divided into economical, semi-economical, and uneconomical regions, depending on an increase or decrease of speed of the vehicle, calculating a current fuel efficiency of the vehicle, receiving information about the type and condition of a road from a Global Positioning System (GPS), and adjusting the regions in the fuel-efficient driving area to prompt the driver to increase or decrease the vehicle speed in advance; and
a display unit for displaying the fuel-efficient driving area using information calculated by the fuel-efficient driving area calculation unit, and indicating the current fuel efficiency with the regions.

Abstract
A system for providing fuel-efficient driving information for a vehicle includes a fuel-efficient driving area calculation unit and a display unit. The fuel-efficient driving area calculation unit calculates a variable fuel-efficient driving area, which is divided into economical, semi-economical, and uneconomical regions, depending on the increase or decrease of the speed of the vehicle, calculates a current fuel efficiency of the vehicle, receives information about the type and condition of a road from a GPS, and adjusts the regions in the fuel-efficient driving area to prompt the driver to increase or decrease the vehicle speed in advance. The display unit displays the fuel-efficient driving area using information calculated by the fuel-efficient driving area calculation unit, and indicates the current fuel efficiency using the regions.
