USER INTERFACE METHOD FOR TERMINAL FOR VEHICLE AND APPARATUS THEREOF
First Claim
1. A user interface method for a terminal for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining by a controller position information to detect a point of a road on which a vehicle having the terminal arranged therein is situated;
obtaining by the controller a road image of a driving direction of said vehicle having the terminal arranged therein, recognizing a type of road represented on the obtained road image, and detecting the point of a road;
generating by the controller a virtual road including lane markings identifying lanes as captured by the road image regarding the recognized road, and adding the generated virtual road including lanes to the road image of the driving direction displayed by a display; and
obtaining by the controller traffic information for each lane of the road, respectively, and surrounding information at the detected point of the road, and outputting the obtained information for each lane of the virtual road by the display.

Abstract
A user interface method for a terminal for a vehicle is provided. The terminal obtains position information to detect a point of a road. A road image of a driving direction is obtained, a lanes of the road represented on the obtained road image is recognized, and a point of a road and lane in which the vehicle having the terminal arranged therein is detected. A virtual road image regarding the recognized lanes is generated, and the generated virtual lanes are added to the road image of the driving direction of the vehicle, and displayed. Traffic information for each lane and surrounding information (i.e. lane closure, construction, accident, etc.,) at the detected point of the relevant road are obtained, and the obtained information is displayed for each virtual lane.

15. An apparatus for a terminal for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
-
an output unit on a front of the terminal comprising at least a display for outputting image data and voice data; a position information receiver for obtaining position information of a particular vehicle in which said terminal is arranged; a rear camera on a back of the terminal for capturing a road image of a driving direction when the terminal is positioned in the vehicle so that the front of the terminal faces a steering control; a traffic information receiver for receiving traffic information for each lane of road via at least one network; a vehicle sensor receiver for communicating with said vehicle in which the terminal is arranged via a wired line or wirelessly, and obtaining surrounding information for each road from the vehicle; a non-transitory storage for storing a predetermined program for controlling an overall operation, and various data input/output when a control operation is performed; and a controller for performing an overall control of the terminal, wherein the controller recognizes a road from the road image of the driving direction, detects a particular lane of the road in which the terminal is positioned, generates a virtual road image for the recognized road and adds generated virtual lanes to the road image of the driving direction and displays the same, detects a point of a road from the position information, and displays traffic information and surrounding information for each lane of the road at the detected point of the road in which said vehicle is situated. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
