Driver Assist Group Settings for Illuminance-Triggered Functions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing driver assist technologies do not effectively group driver assist functions beyond the traditional three categories, leading to suboptimal user convenience in settings adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A driver assist apparatus and method that allows grouping of driver assist functions based on specific criteria, enabling collective settings instructions for multiple functions, including those activated by illuminance detection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If driver assist functions are grouped into traditional three categories (driving assist, visibility assist, traffic jam assist), then the system maintains clear functional classification, but user convenience in settings adjustments is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments driver assist functions into multiple grouping dimensions beyond the traditional three categories. Functions can be grouped by activation conditions (e.g., illuminance-based grouping for nighttime functions), allowing users to adjust multiple related functions simultaneously through single setting operations, thereby improving ease of operation without oversimplifying the system structure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functional grouping where a single group can contain functions from different traditional categories that share common activation conditions. For example, a nighttime assist group can include headlight functions, illumination detection functions, and other night-time relevant functions, allowing universal adjustment across diverse function types through a unified interface
2Loss of time
If multiple driver assist functions are adjusted individually, then each function can be precisely configured, but the time and complexity required for settings adjustments increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple driver assist functions that share common activation conditions into adjustable groups. Users can adjust multiple functions simultaneously through single group setting operations, significantly reducing the time required for settings adjustments while maintaining the ability to precisely configure individual functions when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary grouping of functions based on their activation conditions and relationships. This preliminary organization allows users to quickly access and adjust related functions together without having to navigate through each function individually, thereby reducing adjustment time and improving operational efficiency

AI summary
A driver assist apparatus includes one or more processors configured to collectively provide instructions of settings with group, the settings being set to a plurality of driver assist functions included in a group, the group being configured so that the driver assist function of a vehicle is allowed to be added to or deleted from the group, and the plurality of driver assist functions including a driver assist function that activates based on a detection result of an illuminance detecting apparatus provided in the vehicle and configured to detect an illuminance ahead of the vehicle.
