Abstract

Disclosed is a method of acquiring vehicle contents, the method including receiving contents from a service provision server, acquiring meta information on the received contents, and acquiring vehicle contents displayable on a web browser on the basis of the received contents and the acquired meta information.

Claims

1. A method of acquiring vehicle contents, the method comprising:

receiving contents from a service provision server;

acquiring meta information on the received contents; and

acquiring vehicle contents displayable on a web browser on the basis of the received contents and the acquired meta information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving of the contents comprises:

receiving a request for contents from an automotive electronic device;

transmitting the request for the contents to the service provision server; and

receiving the requested contents from the service provision server.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving of the contents comprises receiving contents regarding a preset web service at predetermined time intervals.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the acquiring of the meta information comprises receiving meta information regarding the received contents from the service provision server.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the meta information includes at least one of service information regarding a service type of the contents, page information regarding a webpage contained in the contents, or component information regarding components constituting the contents.

6. A method of displaying vehicle contents, the method comprising:

receiving vehicle contents including contents and meta information regarding the contents;

acquiring content restriction information;

determining a displayable portion in the contents on the basis of at least one of the meta information, the content restriction information or vehicle travel information; and

displaying the displayable portion.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the vehicle contents can be displayed on a web browser.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the meta information includes at least one of service information regarding a service type of the contents, page information regarding a webpage contained in the contents, or component information regarding components constituting the contents.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the content restriction information includes at least one of information regarding a service restricted for display, information regarding a webpage restricted for display, and information regarding components restricted for display.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the content restriction information includes information regarding driving restrictions.

11. The method of claim 6, wherein the acquiring of the content restriction information comprises receiving the content restriction information on the basis of positional information of an automotive electronic device.

12. The method of claim 6, wherein the determining of the displayable portion in the contents comprises determining at least a partial portion of the contents as a displayable portion, and determining at least a partial region of the contents as an undisplayable portion.

13. The method of claim 6, wherein the displaying comprises displaying only the region determined as the displayable portion in the contents.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the displaying comprises restricting the display of the region determined as the undisplayable portion in the contents.

15. An automotive electronic device, comprising:

a vehicle content receiving unit receiving vehicle contents including contents and meta information regarding the contents;

a content restriction information acquisition unit acquiring content restriction information;

a controller determining a displayable portion in the contents on the basis of the meta information, the content restriction information and vehicle travel information; and

a display unit displaying contents of the determined displayable portion.

16. The automotive electronic device of claim 15, wherein the display unit includes a plurality of display units, and

at least one of the plurality of display units restricts the display of a region determined as an undisplayable portion in the contents.

17. A system for displaying vehicle contents, the system comprising:

a contents integration server receiving contents from a service provision server, acquiring meta information regarding the received contents, and acquiring vehicle contents which can be displayed on a web browser and include the received contents and the acquired meta information; and

an automotive electronic device receiving the vehicle contents from the contents integration serve, acquiring content restriction information, determining a displayable portion in the contents on the basis of at least one of the meta information, the content restriction information or vehicle travel information, and displaying contents of the determined displayable portion.
