Vehicle Assist Customization via Timed Driver Notifications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Drivers find it difficult to customize vehicle driving assist functions due to unfamiliarity with the names, contents, and procedures of these functions, often requiring reference to an instruction manual.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control device that provides information related to specific driving assist functions, including names, contents, and customization procedures, and allows drivers to customize these functions by performing a predetermined operation within a specified period, enabling easy adjustment of sensitivity and intensity settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple driving assist functions are provided with customizable parameters, then the adaptability and functionality of the system is improved, but the complexity of operation and difficulty of customization increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically displays information about the driving assist function that will be executed next, before the customization process begins. This preliminary display of function names, contents, and procedures prepares the driver in advance, reducing the cognitive load during actual customization and eliminating the need to refer to instruction manuals.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification device serves as an intermediary between the vehicle's control system and the driver. It translates complex function parameters and procedures into easily understandable visual information, bridging the gap between the sophisticated customization capabilities and the driver's understanding, thereby simplifying the operation.
2Loss of information
If detailed information about driving assist functions is provided through instruction manuals, then the completeness of information is improved, but the ease of operation and accessibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides its own operational information directly through the notification device, eliminating the need for external instruction manuals. The driving assist function's name, content, and customization procedures are automatically displayed within the vehicle's interface, allowing drivers to access complete information self-servingly without needing separate documentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system proactively displays relevant information about driving assist functions before customization is needed. By showing function names, contents, and procedures in advance through the notification device, the system ensures drivers have access to complete information at the moment of need, making the process as accessible as possible.

AI summary
The vehicle control device performs a process of controlling the notification device so that the information on the specific driving assist is provided to the driver in a predetermined period after the time point at which the control of the own vehicle is started so that the specific driving assist among the plurality of types of driving assist is provided to the driver, and/or a process of changing a value assigned to a parameter as setting information of a function for providing the specific driving assist when the driver performs a predetermined operation within the predetermined period.
