Acceleration Input Mediation in Automatic Driving Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User experience is negatively affected during unmanned driving due to a lack of control and participation, leading to an 'out of control' illusion, which hinders the adoption and development of unmanned driving technologies.
Innovation Solution
A driving device control method that determines if the vehicle is in automatic driving mode, receives and processes acceleration controller signals to generate simulated control signals, allowing users to maintain their driving habits and experience by simulating acceleration and deceleration operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If unmanned driving mode is implemented, then automation level is improved, but user sense of control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an acceleration controller as an intermediary device that allows users to input acceleration intentions even in automatic driving mode. The controller does not directly control the vehicle but transmits user intent to the system, which then synthesizes it with autonomous driving decisions. This mediator preserves user engagement and sense of control while maintaining high automation levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the level of user control based on the automatic driving state. When in automatic driving mode, the system accepts acceleration controller inputs and dynamically synthesizes them with autonomous control algorithms. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain automation benefits while responding to user intentions, preventing the static disconnect between automation and user control.
2Productivity
If automatic driving control is used, then productivity is improved, but user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring acceleration controller inputs and adjusting vehicle acceleration accordingly. The acceleration controller provides real-time user intent feedback to the control system, which then modulates the drive apparatus. This feedback loop maintains user engagement and improves experience while preserving the productivity benefits of automatic driving through efficient automated control.
Solution Approach 2:
The acceleration controller serves multiple functions: it acts as a user input device for acceleration intentions, a communication interface between user and system, and a control signal generator. This multi-functionality allows the system to maintain high productivity through automated driving while simultaneously improving user experience by preserving familiar control interactions.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a driving device, a driving device control method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The method includes: determining whether an automatic driving state is currently available; if yes, detecting whether a user operates an acceleration controller; if the user operates the acceleration controller, receiving an output signal of the acceleration controller in real time; and finally, changing a driving speed based on a simulated acceleration control signal. According to the present disclosure, an operation on the acceleration controller can be used as an acceleration/deceleration operation in the automatic driving state, thereby improving user experience and market competitiveness.
