Template-Based Message Generation for Safe Driving

Solution Overview

Problem

Current message transfer methods, such as text messaging, are inconvenient and dangerous when used in situations like driving, as they require manual input and can lead to mistyping, and voice recognition technologies often fail to accurately convert speech to text.

Innovation Solution

A message transfer system comprising a display device and a mobile device that detects status information and automatically generates messages using pre-defined templates, allowing for convenient message transmission without manual input, including features like location, traffic, and weather updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual text input is used for message transfer, then message accuracy can be maintained, but user safety deteriorates due to distraction and danger in special situations like driving

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage accuracyVSAvoiduser safety

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates messages by detecting status information from sensors and combining it with pre-stored templates, eliminating the need for manual text input. The detector automatically captures status data (location, traffic, weather), and the controller automatically composes the message, allowing the system to serve itself without user intervention while maintaining safety

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Message templates are pre-stored in the memory with various message patterns and structures. When a message needs to be sent, the controller retrieves the appropriate pre-prepared template and fills it with current status information, avoiding the need for real-time manual composition and ensuring accurate, safety-conscious message creation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If voice recognition technology is used for message transfer, then user convenience is improved, but message accuracy deteriorates due to incomplete recognition and conversion errors

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidmessage accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces voice recognition (acoustic field processing) with automated sensor detection and template-based composition (electronic data processing). Instead of converting speech to text, the detector directly captures status information from sensors and the controller combines this data with templates to generate accurate messages, eliminating voice recognition errors while maintaining ease of use

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

Pre-stored message templates serve as an intermediary between the detected status information and the final message output. The templates provide structured, grammatically correct message patterns that automatically combine with status data, ensuring accurate message formation without requiring voice recognition or manual input

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If manual text input is used on portable communication devices, then message accuracy can be maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates due to the relatively small display size requiring concentrated attention

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage accuracyVSAvoiduser convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates messages by detecting status information from sensors and combining it with pre-stored templates, eliminating the need for manual text input.

AI summary

A display device is provided, which includes a memory which stores a plurality of templates which are differently set according to kinds of messages, a detector which detects different pieces of status information, a display which displays a message transfer screen, a controller which automatically generates a message through combination of at least one of the plurality of templates and at least one of the different pieces of status information, which respectively correspond to a selected kind of message, when the kind of message to be transferred is selected on the message transfer screen, and a communicator which transfers the message to an external device. Accordingly, the display device can conveniently transfer the generated message.
