Solution Overview

Problem

Existing driving information systems provide excessive information in indoor environments, making it difficult for drivers to quickly identify necessary guidance due to the complexity of indoor spaces like underground parking lots.

Innovation Solution

A driving information display apparatus that classifies and outputs guidance information based on the vehicle's usage scenario, distinguishing between entry and exit states within indoor sections, using a processor to determine the vehicle's location and adjust guidance screens accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If driving guidance information is provided in indoor sections, then driving guidance becomes available in indoor sections such as underground parking lots, but various types of information are presented in a space narrower than outdoor roads, making it difficult for drivers to obtain necessary information within a short time period

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving guidance availabilityVSAvoidinformation acquisition time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The guidance information is segmented into different types (entry guidance, exit guidance, common guidance) and selectively displayed based on the vehicle's usage scenario. The processor determines whether the vehicle is in an entry state or exit state and displays only the relevant guidance information, avoiding the presentation of all possible information types simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display system dynamically adjusts the type of guidance information presented based on the vehicle's current state. The processor continuously monitors location information and driving state to determine entry or exit scenarios, and accordingly switches between displaying entry guidance, exit guidance, or common guidance, making the information presentation adaptive rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If various types of driving information are presented in indoor sections, then comprehensive guidance is provided, but the information becomes excessive and cluttered in the narrower space, reducing driver ability to quickly identify necessary guidance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveguidance information comprehensivenessVSAvoidinformation identification ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and displays only the necessary guidance information based on the determined usage scenario. When the vehicle is in an entry state, only entry guidance information is displayed; when in an exit state, only exit guidance information is displayed. This extraction of relevant information from the complete set eliminates clutter while maintaining comprehensiveness for the current scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Different types of guidance information are presented according to the specific local condition (usage scenario) of the vehicle. The display content is customized for the current situation - entry guidance for entering scenarios, exit guidance for exiting scenarios - rather than presenting uniform information for all scenarios, thereby improving identification ease while maintaining local comprehensiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If the system provides all driving guidance information, then complete guidance is available, but unnecessary information is excessively provided, causing information overload in indoor sections

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveguidance information completenessVSAvoidinformation relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The processor performs preliminary determination of the usage scenario (entry state or exit state) before displaying guidance information. By pre-classifying the current situation based on location information and driving state, the system prepares and displays only the relevant type of guidance information, preventing information overload while ensuring completeness for the determined scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

In an apparatus and method for displaying indoor driving information based on the classification of usage scenarios, a driving information display apparatus includes: a processor configured to receive driving guidance information and information related to the location of a vehicle, and to perform control to output a guidance screen corresponding to the driving guidance information; and a storage unit electrically and communicatively connected to the processor and configured to store road information and an algorithm executed by the processor. The processor is further configured to: determine whether the vehicle has entered an indoor section; in response that the vehicle has entered the indoor section, determine whether the vehicle is in an entry state or in an exit state; and perform control to output different guidance screens in response that the vehicle is in the entry state and in response that the vehicle is in the exit state, respectively.
