Solution Overview

Problem

Existing driver assistance systems lack a systematic approach to determine the appropriate degree and type of feedback to provide to drivers based on their historical reactions to similar situations.

Innovation Solution

An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that utilizes historical driver reaction data to analyze and adapt the intensity and type of feedback, such as audio, visual, or haptic warnings, by combining inputs from forward-looking cameras, a ranging module, and a rear-looking driver state monitoring camera, and using a processor to retrieve and analyze historical feedback data to inform real-time decisions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If driver assistance systems provide warnings to drivers, then driver safety is improved, but the system cannot determine the appropriate intensity and type of warning without historical data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing driver reaction data during normal operation. Historical data about driver responses to various warning types is accumulated before actual hazard situations occur, enabling the system to make informed decisions about warning intensity when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring driver reactions to warnings and using this information to adjust future warning strategies. The processor analyzes historical feedback data to determine optimal warning approaches for different driver types and situations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If the system provides standardized warnings to all drivers, then system complexity is reduced, but driver alertness and effectiveness are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoiddriver alertness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by tailoring warning characteristics to individual driver needs and specific situation contexts. Different drivers receive different types and intensities of warnings based on their historical reaction patterns, rather than applying a uniform approach to all users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamics by making warning strategies adaptable and changeable based on accumulated data. The warning approach evolves over time as the system learns from driver reactions, transitioning from static standardized warnings to dynamic personalized warnings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of information

If the system collects and analyzes historical driver reaction data, then feedback effectiveness is improved, but data processing requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback effectivenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential and relevant features from historical driver reaction data, rather than processing complete raw datasets. The processor identifies and utilizes key patterns in driver responses to warnings, separating critical information from unnecessary data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Measurement precision

If the system uses multiple sensors and cameras to monitor driver state, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver state detection accuracyVSAvoidsensor system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple sensing functions into an integrated driver monitoring system. The rear-looking camera combines facial expression analysis with driver state monitoring, consolidating multiple detection capabilities into a unified system that reduces overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention provides a method and system of historical emotion based driver advanced assistance. In this method, a combination of external environment to a vehicle on which the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is mounted fetched by forward looking cameras is combined with rear looking camera for internal environment or driver state, is generated. The generated combination is utilized to analyze is there is any critical situation that is upcoming. For providing feedback for such situation, the ADAS fetches a historical combination situation similar to the current situation combination. The intensity of the feedback is varied as per the driver reaction to the feedback provided to the driver at such historical combination situation.
