User Position Detection via Display Perspective in Vehicle Software
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle systems lack the ability to customize functionalities based on the relative position of users to display devices, leading to inconsistent user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A method that captures image data from a display device, determines perspective and position data using image processing, and adjusts software functionality accordingly to provide tailored user experiences based on predefined positions relative to the display device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single set of vehicle functions is provided for all users, then device complexity is reduced, but user experience customization is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines user position and activates corresponding functions without manual configuration. The user equipment captures images, processes position data, and the system autonomously selects and activates appropriate vehicle functions, eliminating the need for users to manually customize settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes software functionality parameters based on detected user position. Different position parameters (front seat, back seat, driver side, passenger side) trigger different function sets, allowing dynamic adaptation of vehicle controls without physical reconfiguration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual function selection is required for each user, then functionality customization is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic function assignment based on user position detection. The user equipment captures images, determines position relative to display devices, and the system automatically activates appropriate functions without requiring user interaction or selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures function sets for different user positions in advance. When a user is detected in a specific position, the corresponding pre-prepared function set is immediately activated, eliminating the need for real-time user selection or configuration.
3Ease of operation
If position determination methods are simplified, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses display devices as intermediary objects to establish reference frames for position determination. By capturing images of known display device structures and comparing them against stored reference images, the system achieves accurate position measurement through an indirect visual reference method.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex mechanical or sensor-based position detection with image processing and computer vision techniques. The user equipment uses camera-based image capture and analysis to determine user position, substituting optical methods for traditional mechanical positioning systems.

AI summary
Embodiments relate to a method to be executed by user equipment. The method comprises capturing image data indicating an image of a structure displayed on a display device and determining, based on the image data, perspective data indicating a perspective of the structure. Further, the method comprises determining, based on the perspective data, position data indicating a position of a user of the user equipment relative to the display device and adjusting, based on the position data, a functionality of a software running on the user equipment.
