Immersive Vehicle Multimedia System Using Sensor Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Occupants of moving vehicles often become distracted by traditional video games and entertainment devices, leading to a disconnection from their current environment, as existing technologies fail to provide an immersive experience that integrates with actual external surroundings.
Innovation Solution
An immersive vehicle multimedia system that utilizes vehicle sensors to collect environmental and driving data, which is then used to dynamically adjust media content, such as video and audio, to create a more immersive experience by incorporating real-time conditions like weather, obstacles, and vehicle speed into the multimedia presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional video games and entertainment devices are used in vehicles, then occupants can be diverted from driving attention, but they become disconnected from their current environment and experience distraction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines traditional entertainment media with real-time environmental sensor data from the vehicle surroundings. The system merges video content with overlaid environmental information (weather conditions, geographic location, traffic data) to create an integrated entertainment experience that maintains connection to the actual environment while providing diversion.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that captures sensor data from the vehicle environment and translates it into visual overlays on the entertainment display. This intermediary layer bridges the gap between the entertainment content and the real-world environment, allowing both to coexist and interact meaningfully.
2Adaptability or versatility
If immersive digital environments use realistic environmental effects, then user immersion is enhanced, but device complexity and system requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a single display device that serves multiple functions: displaying entertainment content, overlaying environmental data, and providing navigation information. By making the display universal rather than requiring separate dedicated devices for each function, the system achieves immersive environmental integration without proportionally increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The environmental overlays are dynamically adjusted based on current sensor data, vehicle speed, and user preferences. The system transitions between different levels of environmental information display, reducing complexity when full immersion is not needed while enabling enhanced immersion when conditions permit.
3Adaptability or versatility
If media content is dynamically adjusted based on sensor data, then environmental integration and immersion are improved, but processing requirements and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial dynamic adjustment by selectively applying environmental overlays to only certain portions of the display or certain types of content. Rather than processing and adjusting every element of media content, the system applies environmental data integration selectively, reducing processing requirements and energy consumption while maintaining immersive benefits.

AI summary
The invention relates to an immersive vehicle multimedia system that that is affected by vehicle sensors and collected data concerning environmental. The immersive vehicle multimedia system includes a vehicle, at least one sensor or other vehicle component gathering input as data from an external and internal vehicle environment, an immersive multimedia device connected to each sensor, and media content run through the multimedia device. The media content includes a primary script and a secondary script, the secondary script depending on the gathered input.
