DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A display control apparatus of a vehicle for controlling a graphical user interface on a screen of a display apparatus which is mounted to a vehicle, the display control apparatus comprising:
- a time information detector configured to detect time information for determining the height of the sun;
a driving information detector configured to detect driving information for determining a driving direction of a vehicle; and
a controller configured to receive the time information from the time information detector and the driving information detected from the driving information detector to reposition a graphical user interface area where the graphical user interface is displayed on the screen,wherein the graphical user interface area is repositioned to escape from a reflection area where sunlight is reflected on the screen.

Abstract
A display control apparatus of a vehicle for controlling a graphical user interface on a screen of a display apparatus which is mounted to a vehicle is provided. The display control apparatus includes a time information detector configured to detect time information for determining the height of the sun. A driving information detector is configured to detect driving information for determining a driving direction of the vehicle. A controller is configured to receive the time information from the time information detector and the driving information detected from the driving information detector so as to reposition a graphical user interface area where the graphical user interface is displayed on the screen. The graphical user interface area may be repositioned so as to escape from a reflection area where sunlight is reflected by the screen.

5. A display control method for controlling a graphical user interface on a screen of a display apparatus which is mounted to a vehicle, the method comprising steps of:
-
detecting time information for determining the height of the sun; detecting driving information for determining a driving direction of the vehicle; predicting a reflection area where sunlight is reflected by the screen based on the time information and the driving information; determining, by predicting the reflection area, whether the reflection of the sunlight is generated on the screen or not; and repositioning a graphical user interface area such that the graphical user interface is displayed on the screen to escape from the reflection area if the reflection of the sunlight is generated on the screen. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
