Claim 9:
10. A vehicle sound service method, comprising:
capturing, by a mobile terminal, an image around a vehicle using a camera embedded in the mobile terminal and transmitting, by the mobile terminal, the image;
receiving, by a processing device of a service server, the image transmitted from the mobile terminal using a communication device of service server;
analyzing, by a processing device, the received image to estimate a driving place;
selecting, by the processing device, a sound that matches the estimated driving place; and
transmitting, by the processing device, the selected sound to the mobile terminal;
wherein the estimating of the driving place includes extracting, by the processing unit, an image feature from the received image, and
wherein the selecting of the sound includes:
storing, by the processing device, a feature of a sound effect for each place by hearing evaluation in a database in advance,
comparing, by the processing device, probability distributions between the extracted image feature with the feature of a-the sound effect stored in the database, and
selecting, by the processing device, a-the sound effect having the feature most similar to the extracted image feature based on the compared result.
