METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE-INFORMATION DISPLAYING BY MEANS OF ECU AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A method for controlling display of vehicle information of an ECU to display the vehicle information on an instrument cluster, the method comprising:
- initiating a vehicle information screen display operating mode when the ECU senses an input of a setting initiation command;
collecting the vehicle information that is to be displayed on the instrument cluster depending on the initiation of the operating mode;
extracting graphic attribute data of the collected vehicle information for the respective vehicle information;
sequentially arranging the extracted graphic attribute data according to the transmission order of a preset communication protocol dedicated for displaying vehicle information;
streaming the sequentially arranged graphic attribute data to the instrument cluster; and
terminating the vehicle information screen display operating mode by stopping the streaming operation when the ECU senses a setting termination command.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling vehicle-information displaying by means of an ECU and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: causing an ECU to collect the vehicle information displayed by the ECU in an instrument cluster; extracting the data of graphic attributes from the collected vehicle-information according to various pieces of vehicle information; sequentially arranging the extracted data of the graphic attributes according to the predetermined transmission order of a drawing communication protocol dedicated for displaying vehicle information; and streaming the sequentially arranged data of the graphic attributes to the instrument cluster. Thus, the present invention can control displaying in instrument clusters of different display specifications by using the ECU for supporting the drawing communication protocol.
