Vehicle Occupant Settings Transfer With Conditional Personalization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle settings systems fail to adequately personalize and adapt to individual occupants based on their identity and environmental conditions, leading to suboptimal comfort, safety, and enjoyment.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that identifies vehicle occupants using facial recognition or associated devices, applies personalized vehicle settings based on conditional modifiers such as seated location, environmental conditions, and occupant identity, and allows for conditional application of settings across zones within the vehicle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If vehicle settings are manually transferred between devices, then user customization is maintained, but the process is time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of vehicle settings data and stores it in the cloud. When a user switches devices, the new device automatically retrieves and applies the settings copy, eliminating manual reconfiguration and reducing transfer time to near-zero.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically backing up vehicle settings to the cloud immediately when changes are made. This pre-positioning of settings data ensures that when device switching occurs, the settings are already prepared and ready for instant retrieval and application.
2Adaptability or versatility
If settings are stored locally on each device, then data security is maintained, but settings cannot be accessed across multiple devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud-based server as an intermediary between the user's devices and vehicle settings data. The server securely stores encrypted settings data and provides controlled access to authorized devices, enabling cross-device accessibility while maintaining security through centralized management and authentication protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud-based settings storage system serves multiple functions: it acts as a secure repository, an automatic backup system, a cross-device synchronization service, and a retrieval mechanism. This universal approach allows the same settings to be securely accessed across multiple devices without requiring separate local storage on each device.
3Ease of operation
If complete vehicle settings are transferred, then full customization is achieved, but data transmission time and bandwidth are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and identifies only the essential vehicle settings data that needs to be transferred when a user switches devices. By filtering out redundant or non-critical settings, the system reduces the volume of data transmitted while still maintaining complete functional customization, thereby decreasing transfer time and bandwidth consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the user's settings profile to pre-identify and prioritize critical settings that must be transferred. This preliminary action allows the system to focus transmission resources on essential data, reducing overall transfer time while ensuring that the most important customization parameters are immediately restored on the new device.
