Vehicle information update method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle information update method in an in-vehicle device interlocked with a mobile device through a near-field communication (NFC) connection comprising:
- sensing NFC tagging on a display screen of the in-vehicle device;
transmitting first information including at least one item selected from a group consisting of;
location information, travel route setting information, software version information, and map version information, according to a type of the display screen, to the mobile device through the NFC connection; and
receiving latest software or latest map information corresponding to the first information from the mobile device through a first wireless access means in a vehicle, whereinthe latest software is received when the NFC tagging is sensed while the software version information is displayed on the display screen, andthe latest map information is received when the NFC tagging is sensed while the map version information is displayed on the display screen.
