In-Vehicle Content Delivery via Position-Matched Personal Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively share past reminiscences, such as images and videos, among vehicle occupants and related individuals at appropriate times, limiting their use as conversation topics.
Innovation Solution
An information output system that associates image, video, and sound content with personal and geographical information, allowing an in-vehicle device to extract and output relevant content when the vehicle is near a location where the content was recorded, and deliver it to users through a display or speaker, with the option to share with external terminal devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the in-vehicle device transmits reminiscence information to the server and the server delivers it to mobile terminals, then the system can share past reminiscences among occupants, but the reminiscences cannot be shared with people related to the occupants (family members, destination facility employees) at appropriate times
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the sharing dimension from only current vehicle occupants to include related individuals (family members, destination facility employees) by introducing a new delivery dimension through server-mediated communication to external terminal devices, enabling multi-dimensional distribution of reminiscence information
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing reminiscence information in advance with position identification information, and the server is pre-configured to automatically deliver the information when the vehicle approaches the stored position, ensuring timely delivery without real-time intervention
2Adaptability or versatility
If the server stores all reminiscence information from multiple vehicles, then comprehensive sharing is enabled, but the system complexity and data management burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses position identification information (such as GPS coordinates) as a simplified copy or representation of the actual reminiscence content, allowing the server to manage and match information based on position data rather than duplicating and managing all media files, thus reducing data management complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that manages only the essential matching information (position data and delivery rules) rather than all reminiscence content, simplifying its data management role while still enabling comprehensive sharing across multiple vehicles and users

AI summary
An information output system includes a storage device and a processing device. Content information including information of video, sound, and the like is stored in the storage device in association with personal identification information and position identification information indicating a person and a geographical position related to the content information. The processing device includes an input information acquisition unit which generates personal identification information indicating a person who is an occupant of a vehicle and position identification information indicating a current geographical position of the vehicle, an information extraction unit which extracts from the storage device the content information that is associated with personal identification information matching the generated personal identification information and position identification information indicating a position that matches the generated position identification information within a predetermined distance range, and an information output unit which outputs the extracted content information through a display device or the like.
