Abstract

An audio, video and navigation (AVN) for a vehicle and a mobile device are provided that include a processor that searches for a network around the AVN and requests transmission of content pages to a server via the network and receives the content pages that correspond to the request. In addition, a browser that displays the content pages and a display unit configured to display the content pages and provided. Content transmitted from the server is used through the content pages, and the AVN provides information for authentication to the server to receive the content pages from the server. A user may more easily and safely use the content of the server regardless of the operating system of the AVN or the mobile device.

Claims

1. An audio, video and navigation (AVN) for a vehicle installed within the vehicle, the AVN for a vehicle comprising:

a memory configured to store program instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to;

search for a network around the AVN;

request transmission of content pages to a server via the network and receive the content pages in response to the request;

provide a browser for displaying the content pages; and

display the content pages,

wherein content transmitted from the server is used through the content pages, and

the AVN provides information for authentication to the server to receive the content pages from the server.

2. The AVN for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to transmit the request together with information regarding any one of an application used in the AVN, the vehicle, or the AVN at the time of the request of transmission of the content pages to the server.

3. The AVN for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the server communication is via a hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) protocol.

4. The AVN for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to transmit a controlling signal generated via a user interface (UI) provided from the content pages based on manipulation of a user to the server, and receive content pages or content changed based on a request signal from the server.

5. The AVN for a vehicle according to claim 1, further comprising a vehicle controller configured to operate the vehicle based on a received manipulating signal.

6. A mobile device, comprising:

a server configured to provide content pages created by hypertext markup language (HTML5) characteristics;

a memory configured to store content usable through the content pages and to store program instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to;

transmit and receive data to and from an external device;

determine whether the request is generated through a permitted application or device when receiving a request of the content pages from the external device; and

in response to determining that the request is generated by the permitted application or device, transmit the content pages to the external device, and transmit the content stored in the memory to the external device based on a user controlling signal on the content pages.

7. The mobile device according to claim 6, wherein the processor provides the Internet network accessible to the server from the external device.

8. The mobile device according to claim 6, wherein the server is configured to transmit different content pages to the external device based on an authentication result.

9. An audio, video and navigation (AVN) for a vehicle installed within the vehicle, the AVN comprising:

a server configured to provide content pages created by hypertext markup language (HTML5) characteristics;

a memory configured to store content usable through the content pages and store program instructions;

a display controller configured to provide a browser to display the content pages; and

a display unit configured to display the content pages,

wherein content transmitted from the server is used through the content pages.

10. The AVN for a vehicle according to claim 9, further comprising:

a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to;

provide the Internet network accessible to the server from an external device;

transmit and receive various controlling signals and data via the Internet network;

determine whether the request is generated through a permitted application or device when receiving a request of the content pages from the external device; and

in response to determining that the request is generated by the permitted application or device, transmit the content pages to the external device, and transmit the content stored in the memory to the external device based on a user controlling signal on the content pages.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor, the computer readable medium comprising:

program instructions that search for a network around an audio, video and navigation (AVN) for a vehicle;

program instructions that request transmission of content pages to a server via the network and receive the content pages in response to the request;

program instructions that provide a browser for displaying the content pages; and

program instructions that display the content pages,

wherein content transmitted from the server is used through the content pages, and

the AVN provides information for authentication to the server to receive the content pages from the server.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, further comprising:

program instructions that transmit the request together with information regarding any one of an application used in the AVN, the vehicle, or the AVN at the time of the request of transmission of the content pages to the server.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, wherein the server communication is via a hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) protocol.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, further comprising:

program instructions that transmit a controlling signal generated via a user interface (UI) provided from the content pages based on manipulation of a user to the server, and receive content pages or content changed based on a request signal from the server.
