1. An apparatus for generating vibration for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive state information of a driver of the vehicle and to generate analysis information based on the state information;
generate vibration signal modeling information for the vibration of the vehicle based on the generated analysis information; and
generate a vibration signal based on the generated vibration signal modeling information and driving information of the vehicle; and
an actuator built in at least one of a seat of the vehicle or a steering wheel of the vehicle,
wherein the driving information includes speed information of the vehicle,
wherein the vibration signal is generated based on at least one of the vibration signal modeling information or warning vibration signal modeling information, wherein the warning vibration signal modeling information includes only a beat vibration component among the beat vibration component and a harmony vibration component,
wherein the vibration signal is generated based on the vibration signal modeling information and the warning vibration signal modeling information when the driving information indicates that the vehicle is in a driving disturbance state,
wherein the vibration signal is generated based on the vibration signal modeling information when the driving information indicates that the vehicle is not in the driving disturbance state,
wherein the vibration signal modeling information includes one or more vibration components,
wherein the vibration components include at least one of the beat vibration component or the harmony vibration component,
wherein the beat vibration component includes a percussion sound effect,
wherein the harmony vibration component includes a keyboard sound composing harmony,
wherein the vibration signal modeling information is generated after the analysis information is inputted into an artificial intelligence learning model, and
wherein, when the analysis information generated based on the state information of the driver of the vehicle is inputted, the artificial intelligence learning model is learned to output the vibration signal modeling information corresponding to the inputted analysis information.
