Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to multimedia technology, and more particularly to methods, apparatuses, devices, and computer-readable storage media for controlling content presentation. Background Art

[0002] Visual content, such as images and videos, can provide drivers with a rich and engaging experience. However, to ensure driving safety, only audio content is typically played in vehicles. Sometimes, drivers use their smartphones to browse visual content while driving. This behavior is not only dangerous but also prohibited by law.

[0003] Currently, to prevent drivers from using their smartphones to browse visual content while driving, mirroring technology is often used to project smartphone content directly onto the vehicle's center console display. This allows drivers to view all content on their smartphones on the center console display. However, this approach still poses safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0035] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to." The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on." The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment." The terms "first," "second," etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0036] As mentioned above, currently, in order to prevent drivers from using smartphones to browse visual content while driving, mirroring technology is usually used to project the content in the smartphone directly onto the presentation screen of the vehicle's center console. In this way, the driver can browse all the content in his smartphone on the presentation screen of the center console. However, visual content may distract the driver's attention. Therefore, directly projecting the visual content in the smartphone onto the presentation screen of the center console still poses a major safety hazard, especially when, for example, the vehicle is moving at a high speed or the surrounding traffic conditions are complex. In some cases, in order to ensure driving safety, when the vehicle is moving at a high speed or the surrounding traffic conditions are complex, all visual content is controlled not to be presented. In such a solution, the visual content that is not presented is missing for the driver, making it impossible for the driver to obtain a complete experience of the multimedia content.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a solution for controlling content presentation is proposed. This solution controls the presentation of different types of content elements within multimedia content based on the vehicle's driving conditions. When a vehicle detects a change from a first driving condition requiring a higher level of user attention to a second driving condition requiring a lower level of user attention, the portion of the multimedia content that was not presented during the first driving condition is controlled and presented in the vehicle. This content presentation solution ensures driving safety while maintaining a complete user experience of the multimedia content.

[0038] Figure 1 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 includes a presentation control device 110, a multimedia presentation system 120 in a vehicle 160, a driving condition 130, a content library 140, and a criteria library 150. In some embodiments, presentation control device 100 can retrieve multimedia content 145 from content library 140 and, based on driving condition 130 detected by vehicle sensors, cause a certain portion of multimedia content 145 to be presented in the vehicle, for example, by multimedia presentation system 120 in the vehicle. Additionally, in some embodiments, presentation control device 100 can also retrieve information such as content presentation criteria 155 from criteria library 150 and, based on information such as the detected driving condition 130 and content presentation criteria 155, cause a certain portion of multimedia content 145 to be presented in the vehicle.

[0039] The multimedia presentation system 120 can present a certain portion of the multimedia content 145 based on the control command received from the presentation control device 110. In some embodiments, the multimedia presentation system 120 includes a visual content presentation device, such as a display screen, for presenting the visual content of the multimedia content. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the multimedia presentation system 120 may also include an audio playback device (not shown) to play the audio content (if any) of the multimedia content. The presentation control device 110 and the multimedia presentation system 120 can communicate with each other via a bus in the vehicle.

[0040] Regarding the driving situation 130, the multimedia content 145 in the content library 140, and the content presentation criteria 155 in the criteria library 150, the following will be described. Figure 2 Detailed description.

[0041] It should be understood that the example environment 100 is described for illustrative purposes only and does not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. For example, embodiments of the present disclosure may also be applied to environments different from the example environment 100. For example, the presentation control device of an embodiment of the present disclosure may also be in a vehicle. It should be understood that the specific number of the above-mentioned devices is given for illustrative purposes only and does not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. Embodiments of the present disclosure may also obtain other information in addition to driving conditions and content presentation criteria. Embodiments of the present disclosure may also be applied to more multimedia presentation systems.

[0042] Figure 2 A flowchart of an example method 200 for controlling content presentation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In some embodiments, the method 200 may be performed by Figure 1 The presenting control device 110 shown is implemented. For ease of understanding, the specific data mentioned in the following description are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0043] At 210, the presentation control device 110 obtains multimedia content 145 to be presented in the vehicle 160, and the multimedia content 145 includes multiple types of content elements. In some embodiments, the presentation control device 110 can obtain aggregated content of different combinations of content elements such as audio, images, text, and video. For example, the presentation control device 110 can obtain audio and video containing audio, text, and video. Additionally or alternatively, the presentation control device 110 can obtain articles containing images and text. Additionally, the multimedia content 145 can also include content that requires user interaction, such as content that is enlarged or reduced by a user click, content that presents details by a user click, content that is selected by a user click, etc.

[0044] In some embodiments, the presentation control device 110 can obtain multimedia content 145 by accessing a pre-configured content library 140. The multimedia content 145 in the content library 140 can have a label to indicate the type of content elements included in the multimedia content 145. For example, an audio and video containing audio, text, and video can have a label of "audio+video+text", and the audio, text, and video parts can further have their own sub-labels; an article containing images and text can have a label of "image+text", and the images and text can further have their own sub-labels. Additionally or alternatively, in other embodiments, the presentation control device 110 can obtain multimedia content outside the content library 140, for example, through a connected user's smartphone.

[0045] At 220, the presentation control device 110 detects the vehicle's driving condition 130. In some embodiments, the vehicle's driving condition 130 may be associated with the vehicle's own operating condition. In some embodiments, the presentation control device 110 may acquire signals from vehicle sensors to detect the vehicle's operating condition. The vehicle's operating condition may include, for example, the vehicle's speed, gear position, braking status, and engine status. For example, the vehicle's speed value, whether the vehicle's gear position is P or D, whether the vehicle is braked, whether the vehicle's engine is on or off, etc.

[0046] Additionally or alternatively, in other embodiments, the vehicle's driving condition 130 may be associated with the vehicle's surrounding traffic conditions. The presentation control device 110 may also acquire signals from vehicle sensors to detect the vehicle's surrounding traffic conditions. The surrounding traffic conditions may include, for example, the conditions of traffic lights surrounding the vehicle, the conditions of other vehicles surrounding the vehicle, and the conditions of pedestrians surrounding the vehicle, such as whether the traffic light is red or green, the number of other vehicles surrounding the vehicle and their respective speeds, whether there are pedestrians around the vehicle, and the number of pedestrians surrounding the vehicle.

[0047] The presentation control device 110 can determine the vehicle's driving condition 130 based on the detected operating conditions and / or surrounding traffic conditions. In some embodiments, the vehicle's driving condition 130 can include multiple predefined driving conditions, each of which is associated with a corresponding operating condition and / or surrounding traffic condition. For example, the vehicle's driving condition 130 can include: a very fast driving condition, a fast driving condition, a medium speed driving condition, a slow driving condition with complex surrounding traffic, a vehicle parked with the engine on, a vehicle parked with the engine off, and the like.

[0048] At 230 , presentation control device 110 detects whether vehicle 160 is in a first driving condition. If so, at 240 , presentation control device 110 causes a first content portion of multimedia content 145 to be presented in the vehicle, the first content portion including at least a portion of content elements of a first type among the plurality of types.

[0049] It is easy to understand that different driving conditions require different levels of user attention. For example, when the vehicle is moving at a faster speed or the traffic conditions around the vehicle are more complex, the driver needs to maintain a higher level of attention to ensure driving safety. At the same time, different types of content elements to be presented also require different levels of user attention. For example, in order of the required level of user attention, they are audio, images, text, video, and content requiring user interaction. In order to ensure driving safety, when the vehicle is moving at a faster speed or the surrounding traffic conditions are more complex, content elements that require a higher level of user attention should not be presented to prevent the driver's attention from being distracted, thereby causing safety problems.

[0050] Therefore, when presentation control device 110 detects that vehicle 160 is in a first driving condition requiring a high level of user attention, content elements in multimedia content 145 requiring a low level of user attention are presented. In other words, a missing version of the complete multimedia content is presented. For example, in some examples, when vehicle 160 is detected to be in a first driving condition requiring a high level of user attention, presentation control device 110 may cause the audio content portion of a complete movie to be presented, while the video portion is not presented. In some examples, when vehicle 160 is detected to be in a first driving condition requiring a high level of user attention, presentation control device 110 may cause the image portion of a complete article to be presented, while the text portion is not presented.

[0051] In some embodiments, upon detecting that the vehicle 160 is in a first driving condition, the presentation control device 110 may determine, based on the level of user attention required by the first driving condition, which content elements of the first type to present in the multimedia content 145. For example, in some examples, if the first driving condition is detected as a medium-speed driving condition, e.g., greater than 10 km / h but less than 40 km / h, the presentation control device 110 may cause at least a portion of the audio, images, and text in the multimedia content 145 to be presented, but may not cause the video and content requiring user interaction in the multimedia content 145 to be presented. In some examples, if the first driving condition is detected as a fast-speed driving condition, e.g., greater than 40 km / h, the presentation control device 110 may cause at least a portion of the audio and images in the multimedia content 145 to be presented, but may not cause other content elements in the multimedia content 145 to be presented, and so on.

[0052] In some embodiments, the presentation control device 110 can obtain content presentation criteria 155, which indicates the correlation between the driving condition of the vehicle and the type of content elements that can be presented. When it is detected that the vehicle 160 is in a first driving condition, the presentation control device 110 can determine that the type of content elements that can be presented is the first type based on the content presentation criteria 150, and then extract at least a portion of the first type of content elements from the multimedia content 145 as the first content portion for presentation. As explained above, the user attention required for the first driving condition is higher, so it is more appropriate to present the first content portion that requires lower user attention. In some examples, the first driving condition can be a medium-speed driving condition, and the first type of content elements can be audio, images, and text. In some examples, the first driving condition can be a fast driving condition, and the first type of content elements can be audio and images, etc.

[0053] In some embodiments, the content presentation criteria 155 may define that when the vehicle is in an ultra-fast state exceeding 80 km / h, all content elements in the multimedia content 145 are prohibited from being presented. In some embodiments, the content presentation criteria 155 may define that when the vehicle is parked and the engine is off, all content elements in the multimedia content 145 are permitted to be presented. In some embodiments, the content presentation criteria 155 may define that when the vehicle is parked but the engine is on, audio, image, text, and video content elements in the multimedia content 145 are permitted to be presented, but content elements requiring user interaction are not permitted to be presented. In some embodiments, the content presentation criteria 155 may define that when the vehicle is in a state where the surrounding traffic light is red and the vehicle is braking, audio, image, text, and video content elements in the multimedia content 145 are permitted to be presented, but content elements requiring user interaction are not permitted to be presented, and so on.

[0054] In some embodiments, content presentation criteria 155 may be preconfigured by the vehicle manufacturer. In some embodiments, the driver may adjust the preconfigured content presentation criteria 155 as needed to obtain customized content presentation criteria. For example, the vehicle manufacturer may preconfigure content presentation criteria 155 to prohibit presentation of all content elements in multimedia content 145 when the vehicle is traveling at a speed exceeding 80 km / h. An experienced driver may adjust content presentation criteria 155 to prohibit presentation of all content elements in multimedia content 145 when the vehicle is traveling at a speed exceeding 90 km / h.

[0055] It should be understood that the various content presentation criteria and the driver's adjustments to the content presentation criteria are shown for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. For example, other content presentation criteria may be pre-configured, and the driver may also make other adjustments to the content presentation criteria. The present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0056] By determining the first content part based on the content presentation criteria and the driving condition of the vehicle, content elements suitable for different driving conditions and different drivers can be flexibly determined for presentation, making it possible to customize the content usage experience suitable for different driving conditions and different drivers.

[0057] At 250 , presentation control device 110 detects whether vehicle 160 has changed from a first driving condition to a second driving condition. If so, at 260 , presentation control device 110 causes a second content portion of multimedia content 145 to be presented in vehicle 160 , the second content portion including at least a portion of the already presented first content portion and at least a portion of content elements of a second type among a plurality of types. That is, when the vehicle is in the second driving condition, presentation control device 110 controls the presentation of more types of content elements in the multimedia content to the user, particularly including portions of content that had been previously presented. In other words, at this point, presentation control device 110 can cause a complete version (i.e., the second content portion) corresponding to the previously presented missing version of multimedia content 145 (i.e., the first content portion) to be presented.

[0058] In some embodiments, upon detecting that vehicle 160 has changed from a first driving condition requiring a higher level of user attention to a second driving condition requiring a lower level of user attention, such as a change to a lower vehicle speed or a lighter traffic situation, presentation control device 110 may cause a second content portion to be presented in vehicle 160. The second content portion includes at least a portion of the presented first content portion and at least a portion of a second type of content element requiring a higher level of user attention. In this manner, presentation control device 110 may present less distracting content elements of the multimedia content during periods when the driver's attention should be focused on driving, thereby ensuring driving safety while enabling the driver to understand the theme and / or outline of the multimedia content. Furthermore, presentation control device 110 may present other content or details during periods when the driver's attention is less required, allowing the driver to fully understand the multimedia content.

[0059] In some embodiments, when it is detected that the vehicle 160 changes from a first driving condition to a second driving condition, the presentation control device 110 can determine the types of content elements that can be presented as a first type and a second type according to the content presentation criteria 150, and then select at least a portion of the first content portion and at least a portion of the second type of content elements from the multimedia content as the second content portion for presentation.

[0060] For example, in an embodiment where the acquired multimedia content is an article including images and text, when it is detected that the vehicle is in a fast-moving condition, such as above 40 km / h, the presentation control device 110 causes some images in the article to be presented, but the text describing these images is not presented; when it is detected that the driving condition of the vehicle changes to a low-speed driving condition, such as below 10 km / h or even parked (for example, when waiting for a red light), the presentation control device 110 can cause these images and the text describing these images to be presented together.

[0061] In an embodiment where the acquired multimedia content is audio and video including audio, text, and video, when it is detected that the vehicle is in a fast-moving condition, for example, above 40 km / h, the presentation control device 110 causes the audio in the audio and video and a certain frame of image in the video to be presented, but the text and video are not presented; when it is detected that the driving condition of the vehicle has changed to a condition where the traffic light is red and the vehicle is braking, the presentation control device 110 causes the text and video that have not been previously presented to be presented together with the audio that has been presented.

[0062] In this way, when the vehicle is in a first driving condition that requires a higher level of user attention, the driver can understand the subject and / or summary of the multimedia content by listening to audio or viewing images; when the vehicle changes from the first driving condition to a second driving condition that requires a lower level of user attention, the presentation control device 110 can present the unpresented content in the multimedia content that is associated with the presented content, so that the driver can obtain the complete multimedia content in the second driving condition without affecting driving safety. How to make the second content part be presented will be described below. Figure 3 To describe in detail.

[0063] It should be understood that the first driving condition, the second driving condition, the first type of content element, and the second type of content element are shown for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the first driving condition and the second driving condition may also be other driving conditions, and the first type and the second type of content elements may also be other types. The present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0064] In the above exemplary embodiments, by presenting different types of content elements in the multimedia content according to different driving conditions of the vehicle, it is possible to ensure driving safety while maintaining a complete user experience of the multimedia content.

[0065] Figure 3 1 is a flowchart illustrating an example method 300 for causing a second content portion to be presented according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the method 300 may be performed at Figure 1 The presenting control device 110 is shown as being implemented. For ease of understanding, the specific data mentioned in the following description are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0066] At 310 , the presentation control device 110 may select at least one portion from the presented first content portion as a first target content portion. As explained above, the first content portion includes, for example, content elements requiring less user attention.

[0067] In some embodiments, presentation control device 110 may select the last presented portion from the presented first content portions as the first target content portion. Alternatively, in other embodiments, presentation control device 110 may select the entire presented first content portion as the first target content portion. For example, in an embodiment where the acquired multimedia content is an article including images and text, and the presented first content portion consists of three images, presentation control device 110 may select the last presented image from these three images as the first target content portion, or may select all three images as the first target content portion.

[0068] At 320 , the presentation control device 110 may select a second target content portion from the multimedia content, the second target content portion including a portion of the second type of content element associated with the first target content portion.

[0069] Taking the example of an embodiment where the first content portion presented is an image, if the first target content portion is the last image presented, presentation control device 110 may select a second-type content element associated with this image from the multimedia content. For example, presentation control device 110 may select text describing the image in more detail from the multimedia content, or select a video presented simultaneously with the image from the multimedia content, or select content requiring user interaction from the same content source as the image from the multimedia content.
