Solution Overview

Problem

Current vehicles lack an integrated ecosystem that seamlessly combines physical and mental comforts with intuitive electronic device communication, failing to create a vehicle environment that mirrors the comfort of a home, thus not fully addressing user needs for an immersive experience.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle control system that utilizes gesture recognition, user profiling, and customizable interfaces to control functions based on user inputs, characteristics, and location, providing an intuitive and immersive experience by integrating gesture recognition, user profiling, and customizable interfaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If gesture recognition and user profiling systems are integrated into vehicles, then user experience and comfort are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The vehicle control system is designed to perform multiple functions including gesture recognition, user profiling, and control of various vehicle features through a single integrated system, allowing one system to serve multiple purposes and reduce overall complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

A processor acts as an intermediary component that receives gestures, identifies users through profiling, and translates these inputs into control signals for vehicle features, mediating between user input and system response

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If customizable interfaces based on user profiles are implemented, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecustomizabilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides customized interfaces and control options tailored to each user's profile, allowing different users to experience the system according to their specific preferences and needs rather than a uniform interface for all

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

User profiles are created and stored in advance, containing preferences and characteristics that enable the system to automatically customize interfaces and control options before users even interact with the vehicle, eliminating the need for real-time customization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The vehicle control system/method for adapting a control function based on a user profile may comprise: a gesture recognition module; a user profile module; a function control module; a processor; a non-transitory storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to: identify a user; retrieve a user profile for the identified user; receive at a gesture recognition module, an input indicating a gesture from the user; identify a control function request corresponding to the gesture input; send a verification of the control function request; and receive at a function control module characteristics parsed from the user profile that effect the control function request by the user profile module to adapt a control function command for an adapted control function output by the function control module.
