Biometric Vehicle Control System for Multi-Driver Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Family vehicles often require manual adjustment and personalized settings for different drivers, leading to inconvenience and potential loss of vehicle keys, as each driver has unique preferences and habits.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle-carried system that includes a characteristic information acquisition unit to recognize human body characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial information, to determine identity and control vehicle settings automatically, including seat, music, and exterior color adjustments, with additional features like camera and speech recognition for enhanced security and convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle key is transferred between different drivers, then the vehicle can be operated by multiple drivers, but the key may be lost or not found
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical key-based access system with a biometric recognition system using fingerprint sensors. The fingerprint acquisition unit captures fingerprint information, which is then matched against stored templates to authenticate drivers without physical keys, eliminating key loss risks while maintaining multi-driver accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates digital copies of drivers' fingerprint patterns and stores them in the storage unit. These fingerprint templates serve as digital replicas that can be quickly compared against live scans, enabling rapid authentication without transferring physical keys between drivers
2Ease of operation
If driver's seat is readjusted for each driver, then personalized comfort is achieved, but time is lost on manual adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing each driver's preferred seat position, mirror angles, and display settings in the storage unit during initial setup or previous uses. When a driver is authenticated, the control unit automatically retrieves and applies these pre-configured settings, eliminating the need for manual readjustment each time the driver enters
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service functionality by automatically configuring vehicle settings based on the authenticated driver's profile. The control unit autonomously adjusts seat positions, mirrors, and display parameters without requiring the driver to manually intervene, making the system serve itself in configuring personalized environments
3Adaptability or versatility
If each driver performs controls to get accustomed to vehicle display, then personalized preferences are accommodated, but complexity of operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adapts the display configuration based on the authenticated driver's profile stored in the storage unit. The control unit autonomously configures display parameters such as brightness, contrast, and layout preferences without requiring the driver to manually adjust settings or learn different control patterns for each user
