Solution Overview

Problem

Existing driving assistance systems fail to reliably prevent risks as they do not effectively account for the user's obedience to risk avoidance proposals, leading to potential accidents.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that includes a presentation control unit for generating risk avoidance proposals, an evaluating unit to assess user obedience, and a risk predicting unit that adjusts parameters based on obedience levels, incorporating a driving behavior detecting unit and insurance fee calculating unit to enhance risk prediction and prevention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If driving assistance is performed based on detected driver state, then risk avoidance capability is improved, but reliability of risk avoidance is insufficient when user does not behave as intended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk avoidance reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by detecting user response to risk avoidance proposals and evaluating obedience levels. The risk prediction parameter is dynamically adjusted based on this feedback, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to user behavior patterns over time, thereby improving reliability without requiring fundamentally new system components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes the user's own responses and behavior patterns as the data source for evaluation. By analyzing how users respond to proposals and adjusting predictions based on their obedience levels, the system serves itself by converting user interactions into predictive insights, avoiding the need for additional external monitoring systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If risk prediction parameter is adjusted based on obedience evaluation, then prediction accuracy is improved, but measurement complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk prediction accuracyVSAvoidobedience measurement difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary evaluation mechanism that translates complex user behavior into a simplified obedience level metric. This intermediary layer processes raw response data through predefined evaluation criteria, converting difficult-to-measure behavioral nuances into actionable prediction parameters that can be systematically applied to risk assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If user obedience is evaluated based on response to risk avoidance proposal, then risk prediction reliability is improved, but information processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk prediction reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary evaluation by assessing user responses to risk avoidance proposals as they occur during normal operation. By continuously gathering and evaluating response data in advance, the system builds a repository of obedience patterns that can be quickly referenced for future risk predictions, avoiding the need for time-consuming analysis when risks are actually detected

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
