Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional movable carrier auxiliary systems cannot adjust operating conditions based on individual drivers, leading to suboptimal performance when multiple drivers share a vehicle, as settings are not tailored to each driver's habits.

Innovation Solution

A movable carrier auxiliary system that includes a driver state detecting device with a biometric feature detecting module, storage module, and operation module, which detects and matches biometric features of drivers to retrieve and apply personalized operating modes, ensuring the vehicle adjusts settings to match each driver's preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the movable carrier uses fixed operating settings, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different drivers deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadaptability to different driversVSAvoiddevice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control device is designed to serve multiple drivers by retrieving different operating modes from the storage module based on biometric identification. The system stores multiple sets of operating parameters (first operating mode, second operating mode, etc.) corresponding to different drivers, allowing the same physical device to adapt to multiple users' preferences and habits without requiring separate control units for each driver.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The storage module pre-stores multiple operating modes and biometric feature parameters before the drivers actually use the vehicle. When a driver approaches, the system quickly retrieves the corresponding pre-stored operating mode based on biometric matching, eliminating the need for real-time adjustments or manual reconfiguration. This preliminary preparation enables rapid adaptation to different drivers.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple drivers share the movable carrier with personalized settings, then the adaptability improves, but the loss of time for settings adjustment increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepersonalized settings for each driverVSAvoidtime for settings adjustment

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical adjustment of settings with automated electronic control. Instead of drivers physically adjusting mirrors, seats, and other parameters, the control device automatically retrieves and applies the appropriate operating mode from the storage module based on biometric identification. This substitution eliminates the time-consuming manual adjustment process while maintaining personalized settings.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically identifying the driver through biometric features and autonomously retrieving and applying the corresponding operating mode. The driver simply needs to approach or enter the vehicle, and the system handles all settings adjustments automatically without requiring the driver to spend time manually configuring preferences.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system stores multiple operating modes for different drivers, then the adaptability improves, but the quantity of substance (data storage requirements) increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemultiple operating modes storageVSAvoiddata storage requirements

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The storage module stores operating modes locally within the movable carrier's control system rather than requiring external or cloud-based storage. Each operating mode is stored as a discrete, localized data set associated with specific biometric feature parameters, allowing efficient retrieval and minimal external dependency. This local storage approach optimizes the balance between adaptability and storage requirements.

AI summary

A movable carrier auxiliary system includes a driver state detecting device and a control device. The driver state detecting device includes a biometric feature detecting module, a storage module, and an operation module. The biometric feature detecting module detects a biometric feature of a driver. The storage module stores a first biometric feature parameter, a second biometric feature parameter, a first operating mode corresponding to the first biometric feature parameter, and a second operating mode corresponding to the second biometric feature parameter. The operation module detects whether the biometric feature of the driver matches with the first biometric feature parameter or the second biometric feature parameter or not via the biometric feature detecting module, and to correspondingly generate a detection signal. The control device retrieve the first operating mode or the second biometric feature parameter from the storage module to control the movable carrier based on the detection signal.
