Besides, the common information matching part 130 may upgrade the matched common information whenever a time interval elapses or an event including connection with a new navigation application is generated.
By referring to FIG. 6, it could be assumed that the new navigation application is connected with the vehicle head unit 100 at a step of S610 and in such case, an update interval for the matched common information could be checked at a step of S615.
Continuously, by referring to FIG. 6, after checking the number of navigation applications connected with the vehicle head unit 100 at steps of S620 and S625, if there are less than two connected navigation applications, the matching course is ended and is returned to the step of S615 to check the update interval again and if there are two or more connected navigation applications, the matching course may continue to proceed.
Continuously, by referring to FIG. 6, after checking the number of pieces of common information in the same type entered from the two or more navigation applications at steps of S630, S635, and S640, if there is less than one piece of common information, the matching course is ended at a step of S670; if there is one piece of common information, the value of the common information is immediately transmitted to the template 115 of the vehicle head unit 100 as matched common information at a step of S665; and if there are two or more pieces of common information, the matching course may continue to proceed at a step of S645.
Continuously, by referring to FIG. 6, after checking common information on whether common information having an outlier value that makes variance exceed a prefixed threshold exists among two or more pieces of common information (i.e., whether common information with the outlier value beyond the scope of not exceeding the prefixed variance) at steps of S645 and S650, if there exists common information with the outlier value, the matching course continues to proceed while the common information (i.e., common information with the farthest value from the average value) is ignored at a step of S655 and if there does not exist common information with the outlier value, the average value of two or more pieces of common information may be decided as the value of matched common information at a step of S660.
