Shared Space User Profiles for Personalized and Emergency Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shared spaces, such as connected cars, lack personalized customization for diverse user needs and preferences, which hinders optimal user experience and efficiency, especially in emergency situations.
Innovation Solution
A customization service system collects and manages user data to generate profiles that adjust settings like climate, infotainment, and safety configurations based on user categorization as primary, secondary, or exception group members, using a cloud-based platform to apply these profiles to shared spaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If shared spaces use default settings for all users, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to individual user needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments users into different categories (primary users, secondary users, emergency personnel) and applies different profile configurations to each segment. This allows the shared space to provide personalized settings without requiring a completely new system architecture, as each segment receives appropriate customization based on their user type.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters by applying different user profiles that modify various settings (climate control, infotainment, safety configurations) based on user identification. This enables adaptability through parameter adjustment rather than structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If shared spaces implement comprehensive user profiling, then adaptability to user preferences is improved, but device complexity and data processing requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
User profiles are created and stored in advance in a database before the user actually uses the shared space. When a user enters the vehicle, the system simply retrieves the pre-created profile and applies it, rather than creating and processing customization data in real-time. This reduces the complexity of the onboard processing system.
Solution Approach 2:
A cloud-based database serves as an intermediary between the user and the shared space system. The database stores comprehensive user profiles and provides them to the vehicle system, allowing the vehicle to have detailed personalization capability without the onboard system needing to store or process all the profile data.
3Ease of operation
If shared spaces allow full user customization, then user experience is improved, but response time in emergency situations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Different quality levels of customization are applied to different user groups. Emergency personnel receive full customization capabilities when needed, while regular users receive standard personalization. This local differentiation ensures that emergency response requirements are met without compromising the personalization experience for regular users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the level of customization applied based on the identified user type. For emergency personnel, the system can quickly apply emergency profiles that prioritize critical functions, while for regular users, it applies more comprehensive personalization settings. This dynamic adjustment optimizes both user experience and emergency response capability.
Data Source
AI summary
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to applying a user profile to a shared space to customize at least one characteristic of the shared space. The shared space can obtain identification information corresponding to a user associated with the shared space and can determine, based at least on the identification information, if the user is a primary user of the shared space. If the shared space determines that the user is not the primary user of the shared space, the shared space can receive a user profile associated with the user from a customization service system. The shared space can instruct a control unit of the shared space to apply the user profile to the shared space to customize the shared space based on the user profile.
