Vehicle AI Occupant Profiling for Stress-Adaptive Driving
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicles lack the ability to dynamically adjust their settings based on the physical and emotional state of an occupant before and during a journey, leading to potential stress and discomfort that can impair driving performance.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle AI system that utilizes sensor data from external devices to create a profile of the occupant's physical state, adjusts vehicle settings, and provides personalized in-car experiences to enhance comfort and reduce stress through route optimization and destination preparation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle system collects and processes sensor data from external devices to create occupant profiles and determine actions, then the ability to improve occupant comfort and safety is enhanced, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates occupant profiles and determines appropriate actions in advance by processing sensor data before the occupant enters the vehicle or before critical situations arise. This preliminary processing allows the system to be ready to act quickly when needed, improving reliability without requiring complex real-time processing during critical moments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that receives sensor data from multiple external devices, processes it through AI models to create simplified occupant profiles, and then uses these profiles to determine actions. This intermediary layer manages the complexity by organizing data flow and processing it in manageable stages rather than requiring all systems to operate simultaneously at full complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle executes actions based on AI model processing of occupant profiles, then the adaptability to individual occupant needs is improved, but the processing time and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates and stores occupant profiles in advance by processing sensor data before the occupant needs service. This preliminary profile creation allows the vehicle to quickly retrieve and act on stored information when the occupant enters, providing high adaptability without requiring extensive processing time during the actual interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the level of processing based on the situation. For routine interactions, it uses pre-created profiles for quick responses. For new or unusual situations, it performs more comprehensive AI model processing. This dynamic approach balances adaptability with processing time requirements.
3Ease of operation
If the vehicle system monitors and responds to occupant physical state in real-time, then the responsiveness to occupant needs is improved, but the energy consumption and system load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses periodic monitoring of sensor data rather than continuous real-time processing. It collects sensor data at intervals, processes it to update occupant profiles periodically, and triggers actions based on these updates. This periodic approach maintains responsiveness to occupant needs while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring and processing.
Data Source
AI summary
An example operation includes one or more of receiving, via a vehicle, sensor data of an individual from one or more devices that are located outside of the vehicle, determining a physical state of the individual based on the sensor data and creating a profile of the individual with the physical state of the individual, detecting that the individual has entered the vehicle, determining an action to perform by the vehicle while the individual is in the vehicle and as the vehicle is maneuvering to a destination based on execution of an artificial intelligence (AI) model on the profile of the individual, and executing the action by the vehicle prior to the vehicle arriving at the destination.
