Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and a method for controlling a display of an AVN of a vehicle which sense vibrations occurring while a vehicle is driven to expand touchable UI elements, such as buttons, etc., within an AVN screen, thereby enabling a user to facilitate a touch operation. The present invention is to provide a system and a method for controlling a display of an AVN of a vehicle capable of enabling a driver to easily touch menus of a display screen without wrongly operating the touch menus by performing a control to temporarily expand touchable UI elements, such as a home button most frequently used, on the display screen of the AVN system when top and bottom and left and right vibrations of the vehicle is sensed.

Claims

1. A system for controlling a display of an AVN of a vehicle, comprising:

a vibration sensing unit configured to sense top and bottom and left and right vibrations of the vehicle; and

a display control unit configured to expand touch buttons within an AVN display screen when a vibration sensing value of the vibration sensing unit is a reference value or more.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the vibration sensing unit is adopted as an acceleration sensor which measures front and back, left and right, and top and bottom slope information of the vehicle.

3. A method for controlling a display of an AVN of a vehicle, comprising:

sensing a vibration of a vehicle with a slope value of a vehicle body; and

controlling a display to temporarily and automatically expand touch buttons within an AVN display screen when the sensed slope value is a reference value or more.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein in the controlling of the display, the touch buttons are expanded in an opposite direction to a sensed slope direction.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein in the controlling of the display, the touch buttons are expanded while undergoing a change in shape, form, and color.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein in the controlling of the display, the touch buttons are expanded in proportion to a sensed slope value.
