Solution Overview

Problem

Infants watching infant-related content often lack engagement due to one-sided content playback, making it difficult for them to concentrate, and requesting changes while in a vehicle can divert the driver's attention, increasing the risk of accidents.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle system that captures passenger images and bio-signals to determine emotions and circumstances, adapting content such as playback speed, music, character movements, and voice to enhance engagement, and updating content associations based on passenger feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If one-sided content playback is provided to infants, then content delivery is simple, but infant engagement and concentration are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery simplicityVSAvoidinfant engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts content playback parameters (speed, music, intervals, character movements) based on real-time detection of infant emotion and circumstance information, transforming static one-sided playback into adaptive interactive content delivery that maintains infant engagement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system captures infant images and bio-signals to obtain emotion and circumstance information, then uses this feedback to automatically modify content playback characteristics, creating a closed-loop system that responds to infant reactions without requiring driver intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If driver assists infant with content changes, then infant needs are met, but driver attention is diverted and accident risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent adaptabilityVSAvoiddriving safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service content adaptation by automatically detecting infant emotion and circumstance information and modifying content playback without requiring driver action, allowing the driver to maintain full attention on the road while the system independently responds to infant needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary automated content control mechanism that mediates between infant content needs and driver safety requirements, translating infant reactions into content modifications without requiring direct driver-infant interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A vehicle includes: a user interface including a display and a speaker; a capturer configured to capture a passenger's image; and a controller configured to obtain emotion information representing the passenger's emotion based on the image, to determine content corresponding to the emotion information, to control the user interface to output the determined content, to obtain circumstance information representing the passenger's circumstances based on the image after the determined content is output, to modify the determined content based on the circumstance information, and to control the user interface to output the modified content.
