Subjective Command Control for Vehicle Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Voice-actuated vehicle systems often fail to understand conversational and subjective commands effectively due to their reliance on keywords and lack of context, leading to suboptimal responses.
Innovation Solution
A processor-based system that receives subjective commands, accesses user-specific mappings to determine personalized meanings, and adjusts vehicle systems accordingly, incorporating context and user profiles to provide accurate implementations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If voice-actuated systems operate off keywords without context, then system complexity is reduced, but understanding of conversational and subjective commands deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and storing contextual information, user preferences, and domain knowledge in profiles before command execution. This allows the system to have context ready when subjective commands are received, improving understanding without proportionally increasing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary components including user profiles, contextual information stores, and processing layers that mediate between the voice input and system execution. These intermediaries bridge the gap between simple keyword recognition and complex contextual understanding, enabling subjective command interpretation while managing system complexity
2Reliability
If extensive personal profile information is created and stored for each user, then reliability of determining context is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments user information into distinct profiles containing contextual data, preferences, and domain-specific knowledge. This segmentation allows the complex information to be organized into manageable, modular units that can be selectively accessed without processing the entire data set, reducing the operational complexity while maintaining reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by creating user-specific profiles tailored to individual users' preferences and contexts rather than using a single generic system. Each profile contains localized information relevant to that specific user, allowing the system to achieve high reliability for each user without requiring the entire system to be optimized for all possible users simultaneously
Data Source
AI summary
A system includes a processor in communication with at least one input, and configured to control at least one vehicle system. The processor is further configured to receive a command including a subjective element. The processor is also configured to access a mapping associated with a user from whom the command originated to retrieve a user-specific meaning, the mapping defining user-specific meanings for at least one subjective element. Further, the processor is configured to apply a user-specific meaning to an implementation of the command, such that a vehicle system is adjusted in accordance with both the subjective element and the user-specific meaning associated therewith.
