Vehicle Action Notification via User Equipment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of modern vehicles often experience confusion and stress due to unclear warnings and interventions from various vehicle systems, leading to uncertainty about the actions taken by these systems during driving or when parked, which can distract from safe operation.
Innovation Solution
A User Equipment (UE) method that obtains action information from vehicle systems, notifies users after the action has ended, and provides additional information about the performed action, allowing users to understand and manage system settings more effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the vehicle provides warnings and interventions during driving, then the user receives information about system actions, but the user becomes confused and stressed due to unclear information
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides explanations about vehicle system actions after the actions have occurred, allowing users to understand what happened without being distracted during critical driving moments. This retrospective information delivery clarifies system behavior without adding real-time cognitive load.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where users receive information about vehicle system actions and their explanations. This feedback loop helps users understand system behavior, reducing confusion and stress by making the system's actions transparent and comprehensible.
2Loss of information
If the user seeks to understand system actions during driving, then the user gains knowledge, but the user's attention is distracted from the driving task
Solution Approach 1:
The system delivers explanations after vehicle use has ended or when the vehicle is stationary, ensuring that users can understand system actions without being distracted from active driving. This timing separates information delivery from critical driving periods, maintaining safety while improving understanding.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically provides explanations about its actions without requiring the user to actively seek information during driving. Users receive comprehensive information about system behaviors autonomously, eliminating the need for distracting queries or manual reference to manuals during operation.
3Loss of information
If the system provides detailed information during action, then the user understands the system better, but the user experiences increased stress and annoyance
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides detailed explanations after actions have occurred and after vehicle use has ended, allowing users to process information without stress. By delaying information delivery until calm periods, the system avoids adding to user anxiety during or immediately after vehicle operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system delivers information in periodic cycles - during active use for brief notifications, and after use for comprehensive explanations. This periodic delivery pattern allows users to absorb information at appropriate times without being overwhelmed during critical operating periods.

AI summary
The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a UE (105) for handling actions performed by a vehicle (100). The UE obtains, from the vehicle (100), action information indicating that an action has been performed by a system comprised in the vehicle (100). The UE notifies a user (101) after the action has ended that the action has been performed, and provides additional information about the performed action to the user (101).
