Vehicle Digital Dashboard Context-Sensitive Information Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital dashboards in vehicles often fail to dynamically adjust the amount of information displayed based on driving conditions and driver state, leading to potential driver distraction and information overload.
Innovation Solution
A digital dashboard with a context-sensitive touch slider that adjusts the number of visual elements and notifications based on vehicle speed, driver stress level, and automation level, optimizing information density for different driving scenarios such as traffic jams, autonomous driving, or high-speed manual driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the digital dashboard displays comprehensive information including multiple visual elements and notifications, then the information completeness is improved, but driver distraction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dashboard implements dynamic adjustment of information density based on real-time driving conditions. A touch slider control allows the system to adapt the number of displayed visual elements, notifications, and text according to vehicle speed, driver stress level, and automation mode, transforming the static display into a dynamic interface that responds to contextual changes
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of information density by adjusting the number of visual elements, notifications, and text displayed on the dashboard. This is achieved through a touch slider that modifies display parameters based on driving speed, stress level, and automation mode, allowing optimal information presentation under different conditions
2Ease of operation
If the digital dashboard provides detailed information and notifications, then the usability is improved, but the complexity of information processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dashboard applies partial action by selectively displaying only the necessary amount of information based on current driving conditions. Rather than always showing all available data, the system adjusts the level of detail presented, showing comprehensive information when appropriate and simplified information when needed, avoiding excessive information processing complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If the dashboard adjusts information density dynamically, then the adaptability to driving conditions is improved, but the control mechanism complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dashboard implements self-service by automatically adjusting information density based on inputs from sensors that monitor vehicle speed, driver stress level, and automation mode. The system uses a touch slider control that autonomously modifies display parameters without requiring manual intervention, allowing the dashboard to serve itself in adapting to changing driving conditions
