Solution Overview

Problem

Current telematics systems lack the ability to provide personalized and auditory Internet content and advertisements to vehicle drivers, limiting the convenience and relevance of information services during vehicle use.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a request information receiver, a content selector, and a content providing unit that receives and processes user-specific data to select and deliver personalized Internet content and advertisements in an auditory format to vehicle telematics systems, utilizing a content providing server and text-to-speech functionality for real-time output.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If telematics systems provide Internet content to drivers, then information services are enhanced, but the system cannot provide personalized content with minimal user selections

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidcontent selection process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting user profile information, preferences, and behavior patterns in advance. The server stores this data and uses it to automatically select and personalize content before the driver requests it, eliminating the need for complex real-time user selections while providing tailored content delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If telematics systems provide Internet content, then service functionality is improved, but auditory output capability is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput format capabilityVSAvoiddriver interaction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces visual and manual interaction mechanisms with auditory output. Content is converted to speech and delivered through the vehicle's audio system, allowing drivers to consume information without taking their eyes off the road or using complex controls, thus enhancing ease of operation while maintaining versatile output capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Quantity of substance

If telematics systems provide general Internet content, then information availability is improved, but relevance to individual users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent volumeVSAvoidpersonalization information
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by customizing content delivery based on individual user profiles, preferences, and contextual information. While the server has access to vast quantities of general Internet content, it selectively filters and personalizes content for each user based on their specific characteristics, ensuring high relevance without losing the benefit of large content volumes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
