APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING DECLINE OF FUEL EFFICIENCY OF VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for detecting a decline of fuel efficiency performance, comprising:
- a memory configured to store program instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to;
set a fuel efficiency measuring reference mode;
measure average fuel efficiency based on data for each item based on the fuel efficiency measuring reference mode;
determine whether the fuel efficiency performance is declined based on the average fuel efficiency measured value;
determine a controlling apparatus causing the decline of fuel efficiency including data regarding the decline of fuel efficiency performance; and
output a notification regarding the controlling apparatus causing the decline of fuel efficiency performance.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for detecting a decline of fuel efficiency performance of a vehicle are provided. The method includes setting, by a controller, a fuel efficiency measuring reference mode and measuring average fuel efficiency based on data for each item based on the fuel efficiency measuring reference mode. Whether the fuel efficiency performance is declined is determined based on the average fuel efficiency measured value. A controlling apparatus that causes the decline of fuel efficiency is determined using data of the decline of fuel efficiency performance. In addition, a notification is output that provides the controlling apparatus causing the decline of fuel efficiency performance.

9. A method for detecting a decline of fuel efficiency performance, comprising:
-
setting, by a controller, a fuel efficiency measuring reference mode in a vehicle or at a remote center to transmit the reference mode to the vehicle; receiving, by the controller, data for each item based on the fuel efficiency measuring reference mode upon driving the vehicle and data of the decline of fuel efficiency performance from a plurality of controlling apparatuses; measuring, by the controller, average fuel efficiency based on the data for each item; determining, by the controller, whether the fuel efficiency performance is declined based on the average fuel efficiency measured value; determining, by the controller, a controlling apparatus including data of the decline of fuel efficiency performance and detecting a factor of the decline of fuel efficiency; and outputting, by the controller, a notification regarding the controlling apparatus causing the decline of fuel efficiency performance. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
