Vehicle Assistance Personalization Using Sensor-Triggered Skill Sets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle systems lack the ability to provide personalized and automated adjustments based on user behavior and environmental conditions, leading to suboptimal user comfort and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An assistance system that utilizes personalized configuration sets, known as 'skills', which are triggered by sensor inputs and algorithms to automatically adjust vehicle functions based on user identification, environmental data, and past usage patterns, allowing for customizable and efficient operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If personalized configuration sets are implemented to enhance user comfort, then user comfort and operational efficiency are improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for sensor devices, electronic computing units, and skill management systems
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically executes personalized configuration sets (skills) when trigger criteria are met, without requiring manual user intervention. The electronic computing unit autonomously monitors sensor data, evaluates trigger conditions, and applies the appropriate configuration set, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user input.
Solution Approach 2:
Personalized configuration sets are pre-configured and stored in the electronic computing unit before being needed. The system prepares multiple predefined configuration sets with their associated trigger criteria in advance, so that when a specific situation arises, the appropriate configuration can be immediately applied without real-time processing delays.
2Productivity
If automated skill execution is implemented to improve productivity, then operational efficiency increases, but loss of time occurs during the learning and configuration phase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses skill templates that can be copied and reused across different situations and users. Instead of creating entirely new configuration sets from scratch, the system replicates proven effective configurations, allowing rapid deployment of personalized settings without extensive configuration time for each new skill.
Solution Approach 2:
Skill templates are designed to be universal and adaptable to multiple scenarios. A single template can serve multiple functions and be customized through parameters to fit different users and situations, reducing the overall number of configuration sets needed and minimizing total configuration time.

AI summary
A method for operating an assistance system for a motor vehicle involves providing a configuration set personalized for a user of the assistance system in an electronic computing device of the assistance system for at least one functional unit of the motor vehicle. The personalized configuration set is set by the electronic computing device depending on a triggering criterion. The user is identified as the trigger criterion by a first sensor device and/or a predetermined piece of information relating to the motor vehicle is detected as the trigger criterion by a second sensor device.
