Vehicle Display Region Control Using Occupant Gaze and Gestures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle display systems do not effectively control the display area based on user needs, failing to accommodate multiple occupants' preferences and gaze directions, leading to inefficiencies and potential distractions.
Innovation Solution
A system that utilizes occupant gaze recognition and gesture input to determine content movement and adjust display regions dynamically, considering the preferences and gaze directions of multiple occupants, and adjusts seat positions to enhance viewing comfort and minimize distractions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display area is allocated to each occupant individually, then each occupant can view their own content, but the system cannot accommodate content movement requests from multiple occupants efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The display area allocation is made dynamic rather than static. The system continuously monitors gaze directions of multiple occupants and automatically adjusts display region boundaries in real-time, allowing the display configuration to adapt dynamically to changing viewer positions and preferences without requiring manual reconfiguration
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by detecting gaze directions using cameras or sensors, processing this visual information to determine optimal display region boundaries, and continuously monitoring for movement requests from occupants. This closed-loop feedback enables the system to respond automatically to occupant needs and adjust display configurations accordingly
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system monitors gaze direction of multiple occupants, then it can personalize display content, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gaze recognition system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it detects occupant positions, determines gaze directions, identifies which occupant is viewing which area, and provides input for display region boundary adjustment. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically processes gaze detection data and adjusts display configurations without requiring manual intervention. The gaze recognition subsystem feeds directly into the display control logic, which automatically recalculates and reconfigures display regions based on detected gaze patterns, enabling self-service operation
3Ease of operation
If display regions are adjusted dynamically based on user requests, then user convenience is improved, but the control system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple control functions into a unified display control unit that handles gaze detection processing, boundary calculation, and display region adjustment simultaneously. By combining these functions into a single integrated controller rather than separate independent systems, the overall complexity is managed more efficiently
