[0002] At present, although most vehicles are equipped with on-board navigation, the usage rate is low due to the limited capabilities of the vehicle itself (for example, in terms of information, system, interaction, etc.). Currently, users tend to use, for example, mobile navigation, which can update maps in a timely manner due to real-time networking. The real-time congestion situation ahead of the road can also be fed back to the user in the first time, allowing the user to re-plan the route, and the user can also freely choose the navigation software.

[0003] In addition, the current in-vehicle navigation does not take into account the driver's state (for example, whether the driver is distracted, etc.), and it is impossible to personalize the settings of the in-vehicle navigation based on the current driver's state.

[0004] Therefore, in order to further increase the usage rate of in-vehicle navigation, it is desired to provide an improved in-vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade solution, so that when the user does not want to continue using the in-vehicle navigation, the functions in the in-vehicle navigation system that cause the user's trust to decrease can be upgraded, thereby increasing user trust and improving user experience.

However, it should be noted that the accompanying drawings only show certain typical aspects of the present disclosure and should not be considered to limit its scope, as the description may allow for other equally effective aspects.

[0028] Figure 5 A schematic architecture diagram of a vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the features of the present disclosure will be further revealed in the following specific description. The term "vehicle" used throughout the specification refers to any type of automobile, including but not limited to cars, vans, trucks, buses, etc.

[0030] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic architecture diagram of an in-vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade system 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the system 100 may include at least an information acquisition module 102 , an information analysis module 104 , an information processing module 106 and a function upgrade module 108 .

[0031] The information acquisition module 102 may be configured to acquire functional information about information quality, system quality, or interaction quality of an in-vehicle navigation system of the vehicle.

[0032] In one embodiment, the information quality may indicate the perceived availability of map information (such as whether deviation recalculation, inability to locate, road tracking errors, etc. occur), the system quality may indicate the perceived network delay (such as 3G, 4G network delay, etc.), and the interaction quality may indicate the perceived convenience of interaction with the in-vehicle navigation system (such as determining whether the user's interaction with the in-vehicle navigation system is convenient by the number of key attempts, success rates, etc.).

[0033] Go to here Figure 2 , Figure 2 The example architecture diagram of a system 200 with vehicle navigation as the core is shown. Vehicle navigation refers to a navigation product used in a vehicle computer, which may be similar to mobile phone navigation in software functions, but may provide a better experience in hardware and interaction with the host.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the system 200 with in-vehicle navigation as the core may include cloud services 202, smart cockpit 204, voice control 206, in-vehicle navigation 208, in-vehicle OS 210, and vehicle hardware 212. Cloud services 202 can provide data storage and cloud computing capabilities for the basic functions of in-vehicle navigation (e.g., route calculation, positioning, voice guidance, etc.) and online services of other hardware modules. Smart cockpit 204 may include modules such as instruments, steering wheels, and center consoles that interact with in-vehicle navigation, mainly providing capabilities such as command input and content output for various services of in-vehicle navigation. Voice control 206 can operate in-vehicle navigation by providing a voice interaction method (e.g., through voice recognition, NLP, etc.). In-vehicle OS 210 mainly provides capabilities such as hardware resource allocation and software framework platform output. Vehicle hardware 212 may include CPU, memory, display screen, positioning chip, gyroscope, etc., which mainly provide basic capabilities such as calculation and positioning.

[0035] Thus, the information acquisition module 102 can acquire functional information about the information quality, system quality or interaction quality of the system 200 for subsequent analysis and corresponding functional upgrade.

[0036] Furthermore, the information acquisition module 102 may also acquire monitored driver status information, wherein the user's trust in the in-vehicle navigation system is analyzed based on the functional information and the driver status information.

[0037] In some aspects, the driver state information may include one or more of a driver emotional state, a driver fatigue state, or a driver distraction state.

[0038] return Figure 1 The information analysis module 104 may be configured to analyze the acquired information to obtain the user's trust in the vehicle navigation system.

[0039] In one embodiment, the information analysis module 104 may rate the information quality, system quality or interaction quality of the vehicle navigation system based on the acquired information (e.g., into low, medium, high, etc.) to obtain the user's trust in the vehicle navigation system (e.g., which may be expressed in the form of a score). For example, when the information quality, system quality and interaction quality are all low, it can be obtained that the user's trust in the vehicle navigation system is low.

[0040] The information processing module 106 may determine whether the user's trust in the in-vehicle navigation system is low in combination with the user's intention to use the in-vehicle navigation system.

[0041] In one embodiment, when the user desires to continue using the in-vehicle navigation system, the information processing module 106 may determine that the user has a high degree of trust in the in-vehicle navigation system, in which case further function upgrade operations are generally not required.

[0042] However, in another embodiment, when the user does not want to continue using the in-vehicle navigation system and switches to other navigation products, the information processing module 106 may determine that the user has low trust in the in-vehicle navigation system, in which case further function upgrade operations are required.

[0043] When the trust level is low, the function upgrade module 108 may determine one or more factors in the acquired information that lead to the low trust level, and activate a functionality upgrade of the in-vehicle navigation system for the determined one or more factors.

[0044] In one embodiment, when factors leading to low trust include information quality (for example, poor map information availability (frequent deviation recalculation, road tracking errors, etc.)), the function upgrade module 108 can upgrade the ordinary vehicle map of the vehicle navigation system to a high-precision map, or can be communicatively coupled with the cloud control platform to obtain centralized routing capabilities.

[0045] In one embodiment, when the factors leading to lower trust include system quality (e.g., high network latency), the function upgrade module 108 may upgrade the 4G vehicle network to a 5G vehicle network.

[0046] In one embodiment, when the factors leading to low trust include interaction quality (eg, poor interaction convenience), the function upgrade module 108 may set voice interaction as a priority.

[0047] In one embodiment, when the factors leading to low trust include the driver's state (for example, detecting driver distraction based on detecting the direction of the driver's gaze), the function upgrade module 108 can personalize the language preference (for example, switching Mandarin to a dialect) or voice preference (for example, switching a male voice announcement to a female voice announcement) of the in-vehicle navigation system.

[0048] In some aspects, the function upgrade module 108 may adjust the language preference or voice preference of the in-vehicle navigation system, for example, based on the personalized settings of the user profile.

[0049] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the system 100 and its modules of the present disclosure may be implemented in hardware or software, and the modules may be merged or combined in any appropriate manner.

[0050] Figure 3 An exemplary flow chart of an in-vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade method 300 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0051] The method 300 begins at step 302 , where the information acquisition module 102 may acquire functional information about information quality, system quality, or interaction quality of an in-vehicle navigation system of a vehicle (eg, from a data recorder of the vehicle).

[0052] In one embodiment, information quality may indicate perceived availability of map information, system quality may indicate perceived network latency, and interaction quality may indicate perceived ease of interaction with the in-vehicle navigation system.

[0053] Furthermore, the information acquisition module 102 may also acquire the monitored driver status information for subsequent analysis and corresponding functional upgrades.

[0054] In some aspects, the driver state information may include one or more of the driver's emotional state, the driver's fatigue state, or the driver's distracted state. In one example, the driver state information may be analyzed based on a driver image (including, for example, facial features, hand features, body features, etc.) obtained from a camera or the like according to a driver state monitoring algorithm.

[0055] In step 304 , the information analysis module 104 may analyze the acquired information to obtain the user's trust in the in-vehicle navigation system.

[0056] In one embodiment, the above analysis may be performed by scoring / grading the acquired information.

[0057] In step 306 , the information processing module 106 may determine whether the user's trust in the in-vehicle navigation system is low based on the user's intention to use the in-vehicle navigation system.

[0058] In one embodiment, the information processing module 106 may determine that the user has a high degree of trust in the in-vehicle navigation system when the user desires to continue using the in-vehicle navigation system, thereby eliminating the need for subsequent upgrade operations.

[0059] In another embodiment, the information processing module 106 may determine that the user's trust in the in-vehicle navigation system is low when the user does not expect to continue using the in-vehicle navigation system, thereby requiring a subsequent upgrade operation.

[0060] In step 308 , the function upgrade module 108 may determine one or more factors in the acquired information that lead to a low degree of trust if the degree of trust is low.

[0061] In step 310 , the functionality upgrade module 108 may activate the functionality upgrade of the in-vehicle navigation system in response to the determined one or more factors.

[0062] In one embodiment, when the determined one or more factors include information quality, the function upgrade module 108 may perform one or more of the following: upgrade the ordinary vehicle map of the vehicle navigation system to a high-precision map; or communicatively couple with the cloud control platform to obtain centralized routing capabilities.

[0063] In one embodiment, when the determined one or more factors include system quality, the function upgrade module 108 may upgrade the 4G Internet of Vehicles to a 5G Internet of Vehicles.

[0064] In one embodiment, when the determined one or more factors include the quality of interaction, the function upgrade module 108 may set the voice interaction as a priority.

[0065] In one embodiment, when the determined one or more factors include the driver's status, the function upgrade module 108 may personalize the language preference or voice preference of the in-vehicle navigation system.

[0066] Of course, it is understandable that the functional upgrade for the factors affecting the user's trust can also be performed by any other methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0067] In one scenario, the current navigation system on the vehicle side uses ordinary on-board maps. By collecting and analyzing information about map availability, it can be identified that the probability of deviation recalculation, inability to locate, road grasping errors, etc. is high. In this case, combined with the user's intention not to continue using the on-board navigation, it can be determined that the user's trust in the on-board navigation is low. Therefore, the function of the on-board navigation can be upgraded in terms of information quality to improve the user's trust. Therefore, the user can be advised to upgrade the ordinary on-board map to a high-precision map. The high-precision map can assist vehicle sensors to narrow the recognition range, improve recognition efficiency, and reduce error rates by providing prior knowledge such as road information, while making up for the perception defects of other sensors in certain environments (such as failure of other sensors in rain, snow, and darkness), and combine with V2X to further break through the limitations of sensor perception. In addition, the high-precision map can also combine navigation planning, real-time road conditions, autonomous driving function levels, and suitable routes for autonomous driving to help vehicles perform lane-level path planning, and assist local path planning by predicting the road conditions and obstacles ahead based on prior knowledge and real-time road conditions, thereby significantly improving the map information quality of the on-board navigation and further improving user trust.

[0068] Therefore, by collecting functional information or driver status information on the vehicle side and combining it with the current user's intention to continue using it, we can analyze whether the current trust in the in-vehicle navigation is low, and if the trust is low, we can upgrade the functionality as needed, thereby increasing the usage rate of the in-vehicle navigation and further improving the user experience.

[0069] Figure 4 An exemplary vehicle 400 supporting in-vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade functionality according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0070] The vehicle 400 may include Figure 1The in-vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade system 100 shown in the figure can obtain functional information about the information quality, system quality or interaction quality of the in-vehicle navigation system of the vehicle; analyze the obtained information to obtain the user's trust in the in-vehicle navigation system; determine whether the user's trust in the in-vehicle navigation system is low in combination with the user's intention to use the in-vehicle navigation system; in the case of low trust, determine one or more factors in the obtained information that lead to low trust; and activate functional upgrades of the in-vehicle navigation system for the determined one or more factors.

[0071] The vehicle 400 may further include a data recorder 402 , which may be used to collect and provide functional information about information quality, system quality, or interaction quality of the vehicle navigation system of the vehicle 400 to the vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade system 100 .

[0072] The vehicle 400 may further include a visual sensor 404, which may be used to collect and provide driver status information to the in-vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade system 100. For example, the visual sensor 404 installed on the vehicle 400 may collect a driver image (including, for example, facial features, hand features, etc.), and detect the driver status based on, for example, gaze direction, yawning, blinking, head movement, etc.

[0073] Figure 5 1 shows a schematic architecture diagram of a vehicle navigation evaluation and upgrade system 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
