Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 10:
11. A controlling method of a vehicle, comprising:
identifying a first distance to the object measured at a first time point by a first sensor and a second distance to the object measured at a second time point by the first sensor;
when the second distance is shorter than the first distance and a value obtained by subtracting the second distance from the first distance is equal to or greater than a preset value, determining, by a controller, that a condition for performing heat detection is satisfied;
when the value obtained by subtracting the second distance from the first distance is less than the preset value, identifying, by the controller, a change in distance to the object measured by the first sensor between the first time point and the second time point;
when the identified change in distance to the object changes from a decreasing state to an increasing state, determining, by the controller, that the condition for performing heat detection is not satisfied;
maintaining, by the controller, a second sensor to be turned off in response to determining that the condition for performing heat detection is not satisfied;
activating, by the controller, the second sensor in response to determining that the condition for performing heat detection is satisfied;
measuring a temperature of the object by the activated second sensor; and
activating, by the controller, a camera when the temperature of the object satisfies a condition for performing facial recognition.
