Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems struggle to accurately estimate accident risk in drivers due to the complexity of biological factors beyond drowsiness, such as reduced concentration, excitement, and excessive nervousness, making it difficult to discern causal relationships between these factors and accidents.

Innovation Solution

An operation management aid system that utilizes a processor to access and analyze biological measurement data in conjunction with task state data to generate an estimation model for each specific task state, enabling accurate estimation of accident risk through a first acquisition process and generation of an estimation model.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single estimation model is used for all task states, then the system complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision of accident risk estimation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidaccident risk estimation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the estimation system into multiple task-state-specific models (driving model, non-driving model, transition model) instead of using a single unified model. Each model is trained on data specific to its task state, enabling precise accident risk estimation tailored to the characteristics of each state while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple task-state-specific estimation models are generated, then the measurement precision of accident risk estimation is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident risk estimation precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects and switches between different estimation models based on the current task state detected by the task state determination unit. The model selection is not static but adapts in real-time to changing driving conditions, allowing the system to maintain high precision across varied scenarios without requiring all models to be actively managed simultaneously, thus controlling complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If biological measurement data is analyzed without considering task states, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of accident risk estimation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis simplicityVSAvoidaccident risk estimation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The task state determination unit acts as an intermediary between raw biological measurement data and the accident risk estimation process. It first classifies the current task state (driving, non-driving, transition) and then routes the data to the appropriate task-state-specific model, thereby automatically incorporating task state context without requiring manual intervention, thus maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving estimation reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
