Solution Overview

Problem

Autonomous vehicles lack an efficient method to dynamically select and play content during travel, leading to monotonous journeys for passengers.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine vehicle information, including driving route and type, to select and transmit relevant content from a pre-stored set to the vehicle, ensuring that the content matches the vehicle's route and type, thereby enhancing passenger experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If content is played in autonomous vehicle to enliven atmosphere, then passenger engagement is improved, but device complexity increases due to content selection and management system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepassenger engagementVSAvoidcontent selection system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines vehicle information, selects matching content, and transmits it without manual intervention. The autonomous vehicle's own data (route, type) is used to self-select appropriate content, eliminating the need for complex manual content management interfaces while maintaining high adaptability to different vehicles and routes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Content is selected and prepared in advance based on the autonomous vehicle's route and type information before the vehicle departs. The system pre-determines which content from the pre-stored set matches the vehicle's characteristics and upcoming route, so content is ready for immediate playback without requiring complex real-time selection mechanisms during travel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If content is selected based on vehicle information, then content relevance is improved, but information processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidcontent selection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs content selection in advance by determining vehicle information (type, route) and matching it with pre-stored content categories before the vehicle journey begins. This preliminary content preparation ensures high relevance without requiring time-consuming selection processes during the actual travel period.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The content library is segmented into pre-defined categories (entertainment, education, news, etc.) with associated tags that correspond to vehicle types and route characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to quickly filter and match content based on vehicle information without performing complex real-time analysis, reducing information processing time while maintaining relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and an apparatus for pushing information, a method and an apparatus for controlling presentation of content. The method for pushing information includes: determining vehicle information of a communicatively connected autonomous vehicle, the vehicle information including autonomous vehicle driving route information; selecting to-be-played content matching the vehicle information from a pre-stored set of to-be-played contents according to the vehicle information, and storing the elected to-be-played content to the sub-set of to-be-played contents; and transmitting the sub-set of to-be-played contents to the autonomous vehicle so that the autonomous vehicle plays the to-be-played content in the sub-set of to-be-played contents. According to the embodiment, targeted to-be-played content can be sent to the autonomous vehicle.
