Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle computing systems face challenges in dynamically generating and presenting media content, particularly sporting event data, due to limited display space and safety considerations while in motion, without causing driver distraction.

Innovation Solution

A computing device in the vehicle analyzes navigational attributes and user emotional states to determine relevancy scores for sporting event data, adjusting the level of detail and presentation based on driving conditions and user attention, using sensors and geolocation to select and present relevant data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If detailed sporting event data is presented to the user, then user experience and information completeness are improved, but driver distraction and safety risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesporting event data completenessVSAvoiddriver distraction
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the level of sporting event data detail based on real-time driving conditions. When driving conditions are safe (e.g., highway cruising), more detailed data is presented. When conditions become hazardous (e.g., heavy traffic, sharp turns), the system automatically reduces data detail or pauses presentation, creating a dynamic balance between information completeness and driver safety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of data presentation density based on navigational attributes. By monitoring parameters such as speed, curvature, and traffic conditions, the system adjusts the amount of sporting event data displayed, transforming a static presentation approach into an adaptive one that responds to changing driving conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If more sporting event data is displayed, then user engagement is improved, but display space limitations and information overload worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesporting event data coverageVSAvoiddisplay space
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments sporting event data into hierarchical levels of detail (e.g., summary level, detailed level, play-by-play level). Based on available display space and driving conditions, the system selectively presents appropriate segments of data, allowing comprehensive coverage without overwhelming the limited display area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements partial action by selectively presenting only the most relevant sporting event data based on current driving conditions and user preferences. Rather than displaying all available data, it curates a subset that provides sufficient engagement while respecting display space constraints

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Duration of action of moving object

If continuous sporting event data is presented, then user engagement is improved, but driver safety and attention requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent presentation durationVSAvoiddriving safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuous data presentation, the system uses periodic action by pausing and resuming data display based on driving condition monitoring. When safe conditions are detected, data presentation resumes; when hazards are detected, presentation pauses. This periodic approach maintains user engagement over the duration of the drive while prioritizing safety at critical moments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors driving conditions (speed, navigation events, traffic) and uses this feedback to adjust data presentation in real-time. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that content delivery duration is dynamically optimized to maintain safety while preserving user engagement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic content delivery based on vehicle navigational attributes. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the machine readable instructions to at least obtain navigational attributes from an electronic device of a vehicle via a network, determine a relevancy score for respective ones of first sporting event data items based on the navigational attributes, based on a determination that the navigational attributes correspond to a driving condition, identify a second sporting event data item of the first sporting event data items based on a relevancy score of the second sporting event data item corresponding to the driving condition, and transmit the second sporting event data item to the electronic device of the vehicle to cause the second sporting event data item to be presented.
