Face Recognition Vehicle Control System for Personalized Driver Profiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle systems cannot adequately satisfy the individualized needs of multiple drivers due to limited memory buttons and seat adjustments, failing to provide a comfortable and personalized driving experience.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control system utilizing human face recognition technology, which includes an image acquisition device, storage, processor, and actuator to match current face images with pre-stored data, configuring vehicle settings such as seat positions, mirrors, and entertainment systems to tailor the environment to each driver's preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If seat memory function is set with limited memory buttons, then the arrangement space requirement is satisfied, but the individualized needs of different drivers cannot be satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical button-based memory system with an optical recognition system using cameras and face recognition algorithms. Instead of physically pressing memory buttons, the system captures driver facial images, processes them through image processing and pattern recognition, and automatically retrieves corresponding vehicle settings, thereby eliminating the need for multiple physical memory buttons while providing unlimited personalized profiles
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates optical copies (facial images) of drivers as unique identifiers. Instead of using physical buttons that each driver would press, the system captures and stores facial image data, then uses image matching algorithms to identify the driver and retrieve their personalized settings. This copying approach allows unlimited driver profiles without additional physical controls
2Adaptability or versatility
If more memory buttons are added to satisfy individualized needs, then the individualized needs of different drivers can be satisfied, but the arrangement space requirement cannot be satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a one-dimensional physical button layout to a multi-dimensional facial recognition space. Instead of adding more buttons in the limited physical space, the system uses facial image data captured by cameras and processes it through image processing algorithms, creating a virtual identification space that is not constrained by physical panel area, thereby supporting unlimited driver profiles
Solution Approach 2:
The face recognition system serves multiple functions: it identifies the driver, retrieves personalized settings, and adapts vehicle parameters automatically. This single optical recognition system replaces what would otherwise require multiple separate memory buttons, each serving a single function, thereby providing universal access to unlimited driver profiles without increasing physical space requirements

AI summary
Provided is a vehicle control system based on human face recognition, which relates to vehicles. The vehicle control system includes an image acquisition device, a storage, a processor and an actuator. It acquires current human face image information by the image acquisition device, stores known human face image information and pre-stored vehicle function configuration information corresponding thereto by the storage, computes and determines human face image information matching the current human face image information in the known human face image information by the processor, and configures a vehicle according to corresponding vehicle function configuration information by the actuator. By pre-storing passenger data, the vehicle control system may employ a touch-type manipulation system. Vehicle function configuration information may include driving function configuration information and non-driving function configuration information to satisfy individualized needs of different drivers, enable the user of a vehicle to obtain better user experience, and greatly improve the comfort of the vehicle.
