A method including
A computer program stored on a computer-readable recording medium in combination with hardware to execute the method of any one of claims 1 to 6.
In an infotainment device installed in a vehicle, At least one processor; and memory that stores instructions Includes, Based on the above instructions being executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, the device, Determining a score for the priority among multiple notifications that can be provided to the vehicle, and Determining the attention level of the driver of the above vehicle, and A device for sequentially providing the plurality of notifications to the vehicle based on the above level of attention and the above score.
In paragraph 8, Based on the above instructions being executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, the device, Based on the type and content of each of the plurality of notifications, the level of importance and level of urgency of each of the plurality of notifications are determined, and A device for determining a score for each of the plurality of notifications based on the importance and urgency mentioned above.
In paragraph 8, Based on the above instructions being executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, the device, The status of the driver is obtained through a sensor installed inside the vehicle, and Based on map data and traffic information, the driving environment of the above vehicle is determined, and A device for determining the level of attention of the driver based on the condition of the driver and the driving environment.
In paragraph 8, Based on the above instructions being executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, the device, In response to the above attention level being higher than a threshold level, at least one of the plurality of notifications whose score exceeds a threshold value is determined as a notification to be provided to the vehicle, and A device for providing at least one determined notification to the vehicle sequentially in order of highest score.
In Paragraph 11, Based on the above instructions being executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, the device, A device that provides the plurality of notifications sequentially in order of highest score in response to the attention level being lower than a threshold level.
In Paragraph 11, Based on the above instructions being executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, the device, A device that stops providing at least one of the plurality of notifications whose score is below the threshold value until the above level of attention becomes below the above threshold level.

Description

Infotainment device and operating method thereof The following disclosure relates to an infotainment device and a method of operating the same. In-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems installed in vehicles can provide assistant functions to enhance driver convenience and safety while driving. Infotainment systems can assist the driver by providing various notifications. For example, infotainment systems can assist the driver by providing various notifications, such as alerts regarding autonomous driving status, message notifications, and service information notifications. Meanwhile, if drivers are continuously provided with low-priority notifications in complex traffic situations, they may feel uncomfortable as they perceive it as distracting from driving. Therefore, it may be necessary to develop technology that provides notifications at appropriate times, taking into account the driver's condition. The background technology described above is possessed or acquired by the inventor in the process of deriving the content of the disclosure of the present application, and cannot necessarily be considered as prior art disclosed to the general public prior to the filing of this application. In relation to the description of the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals may be used for identical or similar components. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an autonomous driving method according to one embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating hardware included in an autonomous driving device according to one embodiment. FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining an infotainment system installed in a vehicle according to one embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the operation of an infotainment device according to one embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the timing of notification provision according to one embodiment. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method according to one embodiment. FIG. 7 is a schematic block diagram of an electronic device according to one embodiment. Specific structural or functional descriptions of the embodiments are disclosed for illustrative purposes only and may be modified and implemented in various forms. Accordingly, actual implementations are not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and the scope of this specification includes modifications, equivalents, or substitutions included in the technical concept described by the embodiments. Terms such as "first" or "second" may be used to describe various components, but these terms should be interpreted solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be named the first component. When it is stated that a component is "connected" to another component, it should be understood that it may be directly connected to or coupled with that other component, or that there may be other components in between. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this document, phrases such as “A or B,” “at least one of A and B,” “at least one of A or B,” “A, B or C,” “at least one of A, B and C,” and “at least one of A, B, or C” may each include any one of the items listed together with the corresponding phrase, or all possible combinations thereof. In this specification, terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to designate the existence of the described feature, number, step, action, component, part, or combination thereof, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this specification. As used herein, the term "module" may include a unit implemented in hardware, software, or firmware, and may be used interchangeably with terms such as logic, logic block, component, or circuit. A module may be a component formed integrally, or a minimum unit of said component or a part thereof that performs one or more functions. For example, according to one embodiment, a module may be implemented in the form of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). As used in this document, the term "part" refers to a software or hardware component, such as an FPGA or ASIC, that performs certain roles. However, "part" is not limited to software or hardware. "Part" may be configured to reside in an addressable storage medium or configured to operate one or more processors. For example, "part" may include com
