Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional autonomous driving systems do not effectively reflect a user's preferred driving path or habits, leading to suboptimal driving experiences.

Innovation Solution

An autonomous driving apparatus and method that utilize AI algorithms to determine driving routes based on user history, traffic information, and user preferences, allowing for real-time adjustments and habit-based driving, ensuring the vehicle follows a route preferred by the user.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional autonomous driving algorithms determine optimal routes based on traffic information and road conditions, then driving efficiency and travel time are improved, but user preference and driving habit compatibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving efficiencyVSAvoiduser preference adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the route determination process into two distinct models: a first model that calculates optimal routes based on traffic information and road conditions for efficiency, and a second model that determines preferred routes based on user driving history and habits for adaptability. This segmentation allows both objectives to be pursued independently and then integrated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the outputs of the first model (optimal route) and the second model (preferred route) to determine the final driving route. By combining both models' results, the system achieves both driving efficiency and user preference adaptation simultaneously, resolving the technical contradiction between productivity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Device complexity

If autonomous driving systems use rule-based smart systems, then system complexity is reduced, but recognition accuracy and user preference understanding deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser preference recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through automated collection and analysis of user driving history data. The system automatically tracks user driving behaviors, preferences, and patterns over time, using this data to train the second model without requiring manual input from users. This self-service approach improves recognition accuracy while keeping the interface simple for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training both the first model and second model before actual route determination. The models are trained in advance using historical data and user driving patterns, so that when route determination is needed, the system can quickly and accurately provide optimized routes without complex real-time calculations, thus managing complexity while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for controlling an autonomous driving apparatus of a vehicle includes receiving a destination for setting a route, obtaining driving history of a user and traffic information, determining a driving route to the destination based on information on the destination, information on the driving history, and the traffic information provided to a model trained through an artificial intelligence algorithm as input data, and performing autonomous driving along the determined driving route.
