Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a mobility support system that combines AI characters with autonomous or human-driven vehicles, and to a vehicle dispatch, guidance, and notification support system that allows users to select a coexisting mode of transportation according to their needs. In particular, this technology belongs to the technical field of optimizing mobility support, such as interactive guidance, transparent explanation of options, and dynamic vehicle dispatch according to demand conditions. [Background technology]

[0002] In conventional mobility support methods, fully automated systems with self-driving cars and manual transportation methods such as regular human-driven taxis exist separately, and a coexistence configuration that allows integration and selection between these has rarely been seen. In addition, there was insufficient functionality to transparently explain to users the reasons for choosing a car or waiting times, which led to issues with convenience and satisfaction. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 6714077 (paragraphs 0012 to 0015, Figure 3) describes a configuration for route selection and driving control of an autonomous vehicle, but does not include interactive guidance functions or coexistence control with human drivers. [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 6982110 (paragraphs 0010 to 0014, Figure 2) discloses the dispatch process for users' transportation requests, but does not include any interactive functions such as guidance by AI characters or explanations of the same prices. [Patent Document 3] Patent Publication No. 7497705 (paragraphs 0008 to 0013, Figure 4) discloses a system for coordinating schedules between users and delivery personnel, but does not include the concept of dynamic selective control or coexistence between autonomous and human driving. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The aim is to solve the problems of users being unable to choose with confidence due to the disconnect between autonomous and human-driven means of transportation, as well as the lack of satisfaction due to insufficient explanations, and the difficulty of optimizing the UX of the entire system. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention has the following features: an interactive guidance function using an AI character, a vehicle dispatch selection function based on the user's riding conditions, time of day, region, and congestion status, operation control for coexistence with autonomous vehicles and human-driven vehicles, a natural language explanation of the reason for dispatching a vehicle, and a function to present the same fare. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] This invention combines autonomous driving technology with existing human-driven transportation methods, and realizes interactive guidance by AI characters and transparency in vehicle dispatch decisions, thereby enabling coexistence-based transportation support that users can use without worry.In addition, flexible control according to demand conditions and congestion is possible, making it suitable for introduction into local communities and for welfare support applications. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. This system is centered around an AI character mechanism connected to the mobility assistance platform, and is composed of a mobility control server that can jointly control fleets of autonomous and human-driven vehicles, a user terminal, a voice / notification linkage mechanism, and a fare information provider. Users input their travel requests via terminal or voice, and the AI ​​character selects the optimal vehicle type based on the time of day, congestion level, physical condition information, etc., and explains the reasons for this in a dialogue. Furthermore, fares will be standardized under a single fare system, allowing users to receive a ride without worrying about differences in the vehicle. After the ride is dispatched, an AI character will provide guidance during the ride and notify users of the arrival time. This will improve the satisfaction and safety of the travel experience.

Claims

1. A mobility assistance system that includes self-driving vehicles or automated delivery vehicles, and is equipped with an interactive guidance function by an AI character, an automatic vehicle dispatch function based on the user's travel requests, and a coexistence operation control function that allows for use in conjunction with manual operation by a human driver, and is characterized by selectively dispatching either AI-controlled or human-driven vehicles, or both, depending on the user's riding conditions, time of day, region, congestion status, etc.

2. The coexistence type automatic mobility support system according to claim 1, characterized in that the AI ​​character outputs audio or video guidance during travel or delivery, advance notice of arrival at the destination, reassurance guidance, interactive response in emergencies, etc., thereby reducing anxiety of the user or consignee or improving convenience.

3. 3. A coexistence-type automated mobility assistance system according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the AI-based operation decision logic is equipped with a complementary demand adjustment algorithm that prioritizes the dispatch of autonomous vehicles only during times when there is a labor shortage or a high number of reservations, and prioritizes the dispatch of vehicles by human drivers during other times.

4. 4. A coexistence-type automated mobility assistance system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that when charging or paying rewards to users, there is no price difference between services provided by human drivers and services provided by automated driving vehicles, and they are operated under the same price system.

5. A coexistence-type automated mobility support system according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the AI ​​character is capable of explaining to the user in natural language the current operating status, the basis for dispatching, the reasons for pricing, or the policy for coexistence with human drivers, thereby having a function to support transparent social implementation of AI.
