First Claim
1. A method for providing route guidance for a fuel supply facility in response to a fuel supply alarm, comprising:
- sending a request, by a first controller, for a search of one or more fuel supply facilities to a vehicle information center in response to a fuel supply alarm lamp signal of a vehicle being generated;
searching, by a second controller, peripheral fuel supply facilities according to engine information and road information of the vehicle;
extracting, by the second controller, one or more fuel supply facilities conforming to a previously input condition by the vehicle information center;
transmitting, by the second controller, the extracted one or more fuel supply facilities conforming the previously input conditions to the vehicle; and
conveying, by a terminal within the vehicle, a result identifying the fuel supply facilities conforming to the previously input conditions to the user.

Abstract
A technique for locating a fuel supply facility in response to a fuel supply alarm is provided. More specifically, the technique sends a request for a search of fuel supply facilities in the vicinity of the vehicle to a vehicle information center in response to a fuel supply alarm lamp signal being generated in the vehicle. Upon receiving the request, the vehicle information center searches peripheral fuel supply facilities according to engine information and road information of the vehicle and extracts one or more fuel supply facilities that conform to a previously input condition, which are then transmitted to the vehicle and conveyed via a terminal to the user Thus, the above system cooperates with a vehicle information center to automatically search peripheral fuel supply facilities to increase efficiency and effectiveness of such systems.
