Vehicle Interior Personalization Using Emotion-Sensing Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle systems do not automatically adjust interior settings based on occupant emotional states, relying solely on manual customization, which can lead to decreased comfort and increased risk of accidents.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing vehicle sensors, including cameras, microphones, and biometric sensors, to identify occupant emotional states through machine learning, and adjust ambient lighting, infotainment, HVAC, seat massage, and aroma systems to enhance comfort and improve emotional status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual customization of vehicle interior settings is provided, then occupant control flexibility is improved, but automatic adaptation to emotional states is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables the vehicle interior to automatically adjust its own settings based on sensor data and machine learning algorithms that detect occupant emotional states, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors occupant responses through sensors (cameras, microphones, biometric sensors) and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust interior settings, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to emotional states in real-time
2Device complexity
If no automatic adjustment system is implemented, then device complexity is reduced, but occupant comfort and safety are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the complex functionality into separate modules: sensor modules (cameras, microphones, biometric sensors), processing modules (machine learning algorithms), and actuator modules (lighting, infotainment, HVAC, seat massage, aroma systems), allowing manageable complexity while achieving comprehensive functionality
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple sensors and control systems are integrated into a unified platform that handles various emotional states and adjusts multiple interior systems simultaneously, reducing overall system complexity through consolidation while maintaining comprehensive comfort and safety functions

AI summary
A system for interior personalization for a vehicle includes one or more vehicle sensors. The system further may include one or more vehicle interior environmental control devices. The system further may include a controller in electrical communication with the one or more vehicle sensors and the one or more vehicle interior environmental control devices. The controller is programmed to perform one or more measurements using the one or more vehicle sensors. The controller is further programmed to identify an emotional status of an occupant of the vehicle based at least in part on the one or more measurements. The controller is further programmed to adjust one or more operating parameters of the one or more vehicle interior environmental control devices based at least in part on the emotional status of the occupant.
