Vehicle Control Using Medical Data for Automatic Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle control systems only present warnings to drivers based on their medical conditions, which may not be clear or actionable, especially for senior citizens or disabled individuals, and can lead to distractions or accidents when drivers manually adjust vehicle settings.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control apparatus and method that automatically optimizes driving conditions by using a mobile terminal to communicate with a head unit and vehicle control information server to control vehicle settings such as seat, air conditioner, and mirrors based on the driver's private medical information, ensuring safe and convenient driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the driver's medical information is transferred from the mobile terminal to the head unit and a warning phrase is displayed, then the driver's health condition is monitored, but the driver may not clearly understand their health condition and may be distracted while manually adjusting vehicle settings
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores multiple warning phrases corresponding to different medical conditions in the head unit before the driver needs them. When medical information is received, the system immediately matches and displays the appropriate pre-prepared warning phrase, eliminating the need for real-time analysis and reducing distraction time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically processes the driver's medical information and selects the appropriate warning phrase without requiring manual intervention from the driver. The head unit independently completes the entire workflow from receiving medical data to displaying the relevant warning, reducing the driver's cognitive load and distraction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual adjustment of vehicle control nodes is required, then the driver can change driving conditions, but senior citizens or disabled individuals may find it difficult or inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple warning phrases with corresponding vehicle control adjustments. When a medical condition is detected, the appropriate pre-prepared warning and control settings are automatically applied, eliminating the need for the driver to manually adjust complex vehicle settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically adjusts vehicle control nodes based on the driver's medical condition without requiring manual operation. The head unit independently selects and applies the appropriate driving conditions, making the system accessible to senior citizens and disabled individuals who may have difficulty with manual adjustments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the driver manually controls vehicle control nodes while driving, then driving conditions can be adjusted, but the driver may get into an accident due to distraction
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically controls vehicle nodes in response to the driver's medical condition without requiring manual intervention. The head unit independently monitors medical information, determines appropriate driving conditions, and adjusts vehicle settings, completely eliminating the distraction risk associated with manual control during driving.
Solution Approach 2:
The system has pre-configured warning phrases and corresponding vehicle control settings ready before driving begins. When medical information indicates a health issue, the system immediately applies the appropriate pre-prepared controls, eliminating the need for real-time manual adjustment and reducing accident risk.

AI summary
A vehicle control apparatus and method using private medical information, and a mobile terminal are provided. An optimized driving environment is provided by searching controllable vehicle control nodes in a vehicle, upon reception of a driver's private medical information; determining if there is vehicle control information for controlling the searched vehicle control node; and controlling the vehicle control nodes using vehicle control information that corresponds to the received driver's private medical information if there is the vehicle control information for controlling the searched control nodes.
