Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing vehicle driving data in an electronic device are provided. The method includes receiving driving data, corresponding to a vehicle, from a driving data acquiring device; transmitting the driving data to a server; and receiving standard driving data, which is obtained by standardizing the driving data, from the server, wherein the standard driving data is compared with second standard driving data, other vehicle driving data, or other vehicle standard driving data.

Claims

receiving driving data, corresponding to a vehicle, from a driving data acquiring device;

transmitting the driving data to a server; and

receiving standard driving data, which is obtained by standardizing the driving data, from the server,

wherein the standard driving data is compared with second standard driving data, other vehicle driving data, or other vehicle standard driving data.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the reception or the transmission is performed by at least one of mobile communication, Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), and Near Field Communication (NFC).

3. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of receiving the driving data from the driving data acquiring device, transmitting the driving data to the server, and receiving the standard driving data from the server comprises an operation performed when a predetermined reference condition in the driving data acquiring device or the electronic device is satisfied,

wherein the predetermined reference condition includes at least one of:

a case in which the driving data acquiring device and the electronic device are connected to each other;

a case in which the time of the electronic device reaches a reference weekday and a reference time;

a case in which the time of the electronic device reaches a reference day and a second reference time;

a case in which the time of the electronic device reaches a reference month, a second reference day, and a third reference time; and

a case in which the time of the electronic device reaches a reference year, a second reference month, a third reference day, and a fourth reference time.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying the standard driving data by the electronic device.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

displaying a parameter of the vehicle, which is to be checked, or a parameter value corresponding to the parameter, by a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) of the standard driving data.

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

displaying a mileage comparison between the standard driving data of the vehicle and the second standard driving data of the vehicle, the other vehicle driving data, or the other vehicle standard driving data.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the mileage comparison includes comparing at least two mileages corresponding to at least two of driving states including high-speed driving, low-speed driving, congested driving, and average driving, and

wherein the mileages are obtained from parameter values corresponding to at least two parameters among intake air temperature, average molecular weight of air, fuel constant, volumetric efficiency, engine exhaust amount, engine Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), fuel injection amount, and fuel injection time included in the standard driving data.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

displaying the ranking of the at least two mileages corresponding to the at least two of the driving states including high-speed driving, low-speed driving, congested driving, and average driving.

9. A method for processing data in an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving driving data, corresponding to a vehicle, from a driving data acquiring device or a second electronic device;

generating standard driving data using the driving data;

constructing a database of the driving data or the standard driving data by the electronic device; and

transmitting the standard driving data to the second electronic device in response to a request by the second electronic device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the standard driving data is compared with second standard driving data or other vehicle driving data.

11. An electronic device comprising:

at least one processor;

at least one communication system configured to communicate with a driving data acquiring device or a server;

at least one memory unit; and

at least one program stored in the at least one memory unit and executed by the at least one processor,

wherein the at least one program comprises at least one instruction for;

receiving driving data, corresponding to a vehicle, from the driving data acquiring device;

transmitting the driving data to the server;

receiving standard driving data, which is obtained by standardizing the driving data, from the server; and

displaying information regarding the standard driving data.

12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the at least one program uses at least one of mobile communication, Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), and Near Field Communication (NFC).

13. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the at least one program performs a method including receiving the driving data from the driving data acquiring device, transmitting the driving data to the server, and/or receiving the standard driving data from the server when a predetermined reference condition in the driving data acquiring device or the electronic device is satisfied, and

wherein the reference condition comprises at least one of:

a case in which the driving data acquiring device and the electronic device are connected to each other;

a case in which the time of the electronic device reaches a reference weekday and a reference time;
