Abstract

Disclosed is a control method for an around view stop mode. A control method for an around view stop mode in an around view stop guide system, including a plurality of cameras provided on an exterior of a vehicle to photograph a situation outside the vehicle, a monitor provided inside the vehicle to output images photographed by the cameras, a door opening sensor provided on one side of a vehicle door to check whether the door is opened or closed, and an around view mode operating switch operating an around view mode while stopping, includes stopping the vehicle; changing a gear to a P state or a parking brake to a brake-on state; and outputting the images from the monitor.

Claims

1. A control method for an around view stop mode in an around view stop guide system, including a plurality of cameras provided on an exterior of a vehicle to photograph a situation outside the vehicle, a monitor provided inside the vehicle to output images photographed by the cameras, a door opening sensor provided on one side of a vehicle door to check whether the door is opened or closed, and an around view mode operating switch operating an around view mode while stopping, the method comprising:

stopping the vehicle;

changing a gear to a P state or a parking brake to a brake-on state; and

outputting the images from the monitor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the around view mode includes a stop mode.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the stop mode is operated when the gear of the vehicle is in the P state or the parking brake is in a brake-on state.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein in the stop mode, a getting-on/off view screen is output onto the monitor when it is sensed that the door of the vehicle is opened by the door opening sensor.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein in the stop mode, a navigation screen is output onto the monitor when it is not sensed that the door of the vehicle is opened by the door opening sensor.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the getting-on/off view screen allows a left view and a rear view to be output onto the monitor when a left door is opened.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the getting-on/off view screen allows a right view and the rear view to be output onto the screen when a right door is opened.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein the getting-on/off view screen allows a top view and the rear view to be output onto the screen when both left and right doors are opened.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the around view mode operating switch is provided on one side of a driver seat in the vehicle.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the monitor is formed to be positioned at the center between the driver seat and a passenger seat.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the cameras are formed to measure front, rear, and lateral sides of the vehicle.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the door opening sensor is formed on one side of the vehicle door so as to check whether the door is opened or closed.
