Physiological State-Based In-Car Exercise Selection for Passenger Comfort
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles face challenges in enhancing passenger comfort and entertainment, as existing systems fail to effectively utilize free time by not providing personalized and adaptive remedial exercises based on real-time physiological and emotional states.
Innovation Solution
An interactive system equipped with sensors and an on-board processing unit that interprets physiological and emotional states to select and download remedial exercises from a library, adjusting parameters and sequences to improve user states, and integrates multi-sensory stimuli for enhanced experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing systems use basic physiological measurements to evaluate user state, then the system can identify basic emotional states, but the system cannot provide personalized and adaptive remedial exercises
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the remedial exercise library into multiple categories (breathing exercises, meditation, music, videos) and organizes them by emotional state targets. This segmentation allows the system to provide personalized recommendations without requiring a single monolithic complex structure, making the personalization capability more manageable and scalable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts the remedial exercise recommendations based on real-time physiological measurements. The processing unit continuously monitors physiological parameters and adjusts the selected remedial exercises accordingly, enabling personalization that evolves with the user's changing emotional state rather than being static.
2Productivity
If the system continuously monitors physiological parameters to detect real-time emotional states, then the system can provide timely remedial exercises, but the energy consumption and processing load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the vehicle's existing infotainment and computing resources to process physiological data and deliver remedial exercises through already-available channels (speakers, display screens). This self-service approach leverages existing infrastructure, reducing the need for additional dedicated energy-consuming components while maintaining real-time responsiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the intensity and frequency of physiological monitoring based on contextual cues and detected emotional states. Rather than continuous high-intensity monitoring, the system adjusts measurement parameters dynamically, reducing energy consumption during stable states while maintaining responsiveness when changes are detected.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system offers a comprehensive library of remedial exercises for various emotional states, then the system can effectively address diverse user needs, but the data storage and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The remedial exercises in the library are designed with multi-functionality, where a single exercise can address multiple emotional states or serve different purposes. For example, certain breathing exercises can address both anxiety and stress, reducing the total number of unique exercises needed while maintaining comprehensive coverage of diverse emotional states.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a standardized data structure and template-based approach to store remedial exercise information. Rather than storing completely unique data for each exercise, the system uses reusable templates and parameters that can be instantiated for different exercises, reducing storage requirements while maintaining the ability to address diverse emotional states.
Data Source
AI summary
An interactive system (1) for interacting with a user is disclosed. The interactive system (1) includes at least one interface (3), a measuring device (5), and a processing unit (7) comprising an interpretation module for receiving a physiological parameter obtained by the measuring device (5) and for defining, based on the physiological parameter, a datum representative of the physiological state of the user (U). The processing unit (7) comprises a data communication module for communicating data with a server (11) storing a library of applications, a data processing module for selecting an application on the basis of the datum representative of the physiological state, an information module for notifying the user (U) of the selected application, and detecting a validation action from the user (U) validating the notified application, and a download module for downloading the validated application.
