Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies fail to provide personalized and immersive sensory experiences for vehicle passengers, limiting the ability to tailor content consumption during travel based on individual preferences and real-time biometric data.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle system that includes sensory output devices communicatively coupled to a server, utilizing biometric indicators and predictive analytics to deliver personalized content, such as audio, video, and interactive experiences, based on passenger profiles and geographic location, allowing for dynamic content selection and adaptation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual content selection is used by passengers, then content consumption is possible, but personalization capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidmanual effort required
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service personalization by automatically detecting passenger identity through biometric sensors (facial recognition, iris scanning, fingerprint detection) and autonomously selecting and delivering personalized content based on stored passenger profiles, eliminating the need for manual content selection while achieving high personalization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing passenger profiles with content preferences, biometric data, and personalization parameters in a database before the passenger arrives, enabling instant personalization upon passenger detection without real-time manual input

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If personalized content delivery system is implemented, then passenger experience is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent personalizationVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses an intermediary server as a mediator between biometric sensors, passenger profiles database, and content delivery devices. The server receives biometric data, queries the database for matching profiles, determines personalized content parameters, and controls content delivery, thereby managing system complexity through centralized coordination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments personalization functionality into independent modules: biometric detection module, profile database module, content selection module, and delivery control module. Each module performs a specific function, allowing the complex personalization system to be built from manageable, interchangeable components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Methods and apparatus for personalizing a vehicle with a sensory output device include receiving, by one or more processors, a signal indicating an identity or passenger profile of a detected passenger in or boarding the vehicle, accessing preference data and geographic location data for the passenger, and selecting sensory content for delivery to the passenger in the vehicle based on the preference data and geographic location data. Methods and apparatus for producing video customized for a preference profile of a person or cohort include associating each of the stored video clips with a set of characteristic parameters relating to user-perceivable characteristics, receiving user profile data relating to the person or cohort, selecting video clips from the data structure based at least partly on the user profile data, and automatically producing a video including the preferred video clips.
