Abstract

A method of creating statistical operation data using a mobile terminal in an audio video navigation (AVN) system of a vehicle includes wirelessly connecting the mobile terminal to the AVN system, receiving a signal set from at least one controller of the vehicle, and transmitting the received signal set to the wirelessly connected mobile terminal such that the mobile terminal creates the statistical operation data. In this instance, it is preferable that an application in which a computational logic for creation of the statistical operation data is defined be installed in the mobile terminal.

Claims

1. A method of creating statistical operation data using a mobile terminal in an audio video navigation (AVN) system of a vehicle, the method comprising:

wirelessly connecting the mobile terminal to the AVN system;

receiving a signal set from at least one controller of the vehicle; and

transmitting the received signal set to the wirelessly connected mobile terminal such that the mobile terminal creates the statistical operation data.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the transmitting is performed in real time.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein an application in which a computational logic for creation of the statistical operation data is defined is installed in the mobile terminal.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the application is provided to the mobile terminal from a telematics service (TMS) center.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the application is updated when the TMS center changes the computational logic.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving computed statistical operation data from the mobile terminal; and

visually outputting the received statistical operation data through a display of the AVN system.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the signal set includes a signal set of a controller area network (CAN) communication system.

8. An audio video navigation (AVN) system of a vehicle for creating statistical operation data using a mobile terminal, the AVN system comprising:

a wireless communication unit wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal;

a wired communication unit for receiving a signal set from at least one controller of the vehicle; and

a controller for controlling the wireless communication unit to transmit the received signal set to the mobile terminal such that the wirelessly connected mobile terminal creates the statistical operation data,

wherein an application in which a computational logic for creation of the statistical operation data is defined is installed in the mobile terminal.

9. The AVN system according to claim 8, wherein the controller performs a control operation such that the signal set is transmitted in real time.

10. The AVN system according to claim 8, wherein the application is provided to the mobile terminal from a telematics service (TMS) center.

11. The AVN system according to claim 10, wherein the application is updated when the TMS center changes the computational logic.

12. The AVN system according to claim 8, further comprising a display,

wherein when computed statistical operation data is received from the mobile terminal, the controller performs a control operation such that the received statistical operation data is visually output through the display.

13. The AVN system according to claim 8, wherein the signal set includes a signal set of a CAN communication system.

14. A method of creating statistical operation data of a vehicle, the method comprising:

wirelessly connecting a mobile terminal to an audio video navigation (AVN) system of the vehicle;

receiving, by the AVN system, a signal set from a controller of the vehicle;

transmitting, by the AVN system, the received signal set to the wirelessly connected mobile terminal;

creating, by the mobile terminal, the statistical operation data based on the signal set transmitted from the AVN system; and

transmitting, by the mobile terminal, the created statistical data a telematics service (TMS) center.
