Claim:
1. An apparatus for providing safe driving information, the apparatus comprising: an information collecting module including circuitry configured to collect driving environment information and driving situation information of a vehicle, obstacle information, and information on a driver's line of sight from sensors, and process the collected information; a database unit configured to store provision forms and provision timings of previously set safe driving information according to groups formed by grouping driving environment information and driving situation information by attribute and driving environment conditions and driving situation conditions in the groups; a determination module including circuitry configured to determine a provision form and a provision timing of safe driving information during a travel based on the driving environment information, the driving situation information, the obstacle information, and the information on the driver's line of sight obtained from the information collecting module and the provision forms and the provision timings stored in the database unit; and an information providing module including circuitry configured to control a display unit to provide the safe driving information according to the determined provision form and timing of the safe driving information; wherein the database unit stores a provision form and a provision timing of safe driving information determined through a test according to the conditions in the group information based on analysis results of recognition easiness, information understanding, information concentration, and safe driving performance of the driver.
