Solution Overview

Problem

Existing drive event systems rely on a representative to narrate vehicle features and record driver feedback, which is inefficient and inconsistent, especially when multiple drivers participate.

Innovation Solution

A system using GPS or RFID technology to provide position-based content to vehicle occupants, allowing for automated narration and feedback recording, minimizing reliance on human representatives and ensuring consistent information delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a representative manually narrates vehicle features to each driver, then personalized interaction and feedback recording are possible, but time consumption increases and consistency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePersonalized interactionVSAvoidTime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated narration and content delivery without requiring a representative to manually present information to each driver. The GPS-triggered content delivery system automatically provides vehicle feature information based on the vehicle's location, allowing the drive event to proceed with minimal human intervention while maintaining consistent information delivery to multiple drivers simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses pre-recorded narration content that can be automatically replayed to multiple drivers. Instead of a representative creating unique narration for each driver, the same high-quality recorded content is delivered to all drivers through the automated system, ensuring consistency while saving time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If a representative manually records driver feedback, then accurate capture of driver responses is possible, but productivity decreases when multiple drivers participate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveFeedback accuracyVSAvoidEvent throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates automated feedback collection mechanisms that capture driver responses without requiring manual intervention. The GPS-triggered system can prompt drivers for feedback at specific locations and automatically record their responses, maintaining accuracy while enabling the representative to handle multiple drivers efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If a representative delivers narration to each driver, then adaptive response to driver questions is possible, but device complexity and operational burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveResponse adaptabilityVSAvoidSystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an automated GPS-triggered content delivery system as an intermediary between the vehicle features and the drivers. This intermediary handles the routine information delivery task, allowing the representative to focus on higher-value activities like answering complex questions and building relationships, thereby reducing operational burden while maintaining adaptability for non-routine interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Automatically presenting content to an occupant of a vehicle as the vehicle traverses a route (e.g., during a test drive or other drive event). Content items are associated with GPS coordinates the route. A GPS device on the vehicle identifies the vehicle location as the vehicle traverses the route, and content item associated with particular locations is presented to the occupant of the vehicle. Audio and/or video of the occupant may be captured and stored on a computing device remote from the vehicle. The captured audio and/or video represents feedback from the occupant during the drive event.
