AI Driving Avatar Voice Selection for Occupant Responsiveness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicles have limited voice options for communication, often allowing only language, male/female, and accent selections, which may not cater to individual occupant preferences or responsiveness.
Innovation Solution
An avatar system that identifies vehicle occupant scenarios and selects a voice profile from a library, using AI to determine a voice model based on occupant responsiveness, allowing customization through voice sampling and manual selection of characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a limited selection of voice options (language, male/female, accent) is provided, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to individual occupant preferences and responsiveness is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts voice profile selection based on detected driving scenarios and occupant responsiveness levels. Voice profiles are not statically assigned but adapt in real-time to changing conditions, allowing the system to maintain simplicity while improving adaptability through automated dynamic selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically selecting appropriate voice profiles without requiring manual configuration by the occupant. The avatar communication system monitors occupant responsiveness and autonomously adjusts voice characteristics, eliminating the need for complex user setup while achieving personalized communication.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple voice profiles are introduced to cater to individual preferences, then adaptability to occupant responsiveness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring occupant responsiveness to different voice profiles and using this information to automatically select optimal voices. This closed-loop approach allows the system to manage multiple voice profiles effectively, as the feedback-driven selection process automates what would otherwise require complex manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The avatar acts as an intermediary between the vehicle's communication system and the occupant, managing the complexity of voice profile selection. Rather than exposing the full complexity of multiple voice profiles to the user, the avatar mediates by automatically selecting appropriate profiles based on detected scenarios and responsiveness, simplifying the user experience while maintaining adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If voice profiles are manually configured, then adaptability to specific preferences is improved, but ease of operation is worsened due to setup complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system eliminates manual configuration requirements by implementing self-service functionality. The avatar communication system automatically detects occupant preferences and responsiveness through monitoring interactions, then autonomously configures and selects appropriate voice profiles without requiring user setup, thereby maintaining customization while improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring voice profiles based on initial occupant interactions and scenario detection. Rather than requiring manual setup at installation, the system proactively configures appropriate voice profiles through automated monitoring and analysis of occupant responsiveness, preparing the personalized communication experience in advance without user intervention.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying, by a computing device, a scenario of a plurality of scenarios associated with an occupant of a vehicle. A voice profile of an avatar may be determined for the scenario of the plurality of scenarios associated with the occupant of the vehicle. The voice profile of the avatar determined for the scenario of the plurality of scenarios associated with the occupant of the vehicle may be selected, wherein the voice profile of the avatar may be selected from a plurality of voice profiles. Audio may be provided to the occupant of the vehicle using the voice profile of the avatar based upon, at least in part, identifying the scenario of the plurality of scenarios associated with the occupant of the vehicle.
