1. A driver assistance apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- an interface that is configured to interact with one or more devices of the vehicle; and
a processor configured to;
set a blind spot detection (BSD) zone,obtain vehicle information,change the BSD zone based on the vehicle information,determine, based on a location of an object sensed by at least one of sensors, whether the object is in the BSD zone, andcontrol, based on a determination that the object is in the BSD zone, an output unit to provide a notification,wherein the processor is further configured to, based on an elapse of a predetermined time after a turn signal of the vehicle is turned on, extend the BSD zone in a direction corresponding to the turn signal of the vehicle, andwherein the processor is further configured to;
obtain, through the interface, travel route information from the one or more devices of the vehicle, andextend the BSD zone in a direction in which the vehicle is expected to travel based on the travel route information.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a driver assistance apparatus for a vehicle, which includes a sensing unit for sensing an object located outside the vehicle, and a processor for changing a blind spot detection (BSD) zone on the basis of vehicle information and providing a signal corresponding to an alarm on the basis of the changed BSD zone, thereby varying the BSD zone for sensing other vehicles according to situation and outputting an alarm indicating a level of danger.

9. A driver assistance apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a communicator that is configured to communicate with a first vehicle other than the vehicle; and a processor configured to; set a blind detection (BSD) zone, obtain, using the communicator, vehicle state information of the first vehicle, the vehicle state information including at least one of model information, position information, speed information, steering information, turn signal information, or travel route information, change the BSD zone based on the vehicle state information of the first vehicle, determine, based on a location of an object sensed by at least one of sensors, whether the object is in the BSD zone, and control, based on a determination that the object is in the BSD zone, an output unit to provide a notification. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

21. A method for operation of a driver assistance apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
-
setting, by a processor, a blind spot detection (BSD) zone; obtaining, by a communicator, vehicle state information of a first vehicle other than the vehicle, the vehicle state information including at least one of model information, position information, speed information, steering information, turn signal information, or travel route information; changing, by the processor, the BSD zone based on the vehicle state information of the first vehicle; determining, by the processor, based on a location of an object sensed by at least one of sensors, whether the object is in the BSD zone; and controlling, by the processor, based on a determination that the object is in the BSD zone, an output unit to provide a notification.
