Autonomous Driving Parameter Adjustment via Gesture Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing autonomous driving control systems require separate hardware to display the step size of changing autonomous driving control parameters, increasing hardware costs.
Innovation Solution
A device that integrates a display control unit, gesture operation acquisition unit, parameter changing unit, and step size setting unit to display and adjust autonomous driving control parameters using a touch panel, allowing drivers to change parameters through gesture operations while displaying the step size on the same screen.

1Loss of information
If a separate display device is used to show the step size of autonomous driving control parameters, then the driver can grasp the parameter change amount, but the hardware cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the step size display function with the existing touch panel used for parameter adjustment. The change operation screen displays both the autonomous driving control parameter and its step size on the same touch panel, eliminating the need for a separate display device and reducing hardware cost while ensuring the driver can grasp the parameter change amount
Solution Approach 2:
The touch panel is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as both the parameter adjustment interface and the step size display device. By making the touch panel multi-functional, the patent avoids adding separate hardware components while ensuring all necessary information is presented to the driver

AI summary
An object of the present invention is to implement, at a low hardware cost, a device that changes an autonomous driving control parameter whose step size is variably set. An autonomous driving control parameter changing device according to the present invention includes, a gesture operation acquisition unit that acquires information on a gesture operation for moving the operation target icon, a parameter changing unit that changes the autonomous driving control parameter in an increase or decrease direction defined in association with a movement direction in which the operation target icon is moved, and a step size setting unit that variably sets a step size based on a predetermined condition, the step size corresponding to an amount of change in the autonomous driving control parameter made by the parameter changing unit per occurrence of the gesture operation, and the change operation screen includes a display of the step size.
