Vehicle Display Device with Automatic Language Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle display devices for foreign countries may incorrectly interpret road signs due to driver-entered mother tongue data errors, leading to incomprehensible information for drivers.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle display device that acquires personal information from identification tags, converts environment information, including road signs and traffic data, into comprehensible text or image formats based on the driver's nationality, ensuring accurate and culturally sensitive information display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the driver manually enters their mother tongue, then the system can adapt to the driver's language preferences, but errors in data entry may occur leading to incorrect road sign interpretation
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically acquires the driver's personal information including mother tongue from identification tags without requiring manual entry. This self-service approach eliminates human error in data entry while maintaining language adaptation capabilities, directly resolving the contradiction between adaptability and reliability.
2Loss of information
If road signs are displayed in foreign languages, then drivers can access information about foreign road signs, but drivers cannot understand the meaning if the language does not match their mother tongue
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the language quality of displayed information based on the driver's personal information. Road signs and traffic information are converted into the driver's mother tongue, ensuring that the information is both accessible and comprehensible to the driver.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the language parameter of displayed information based on the driver's profile stored in identification tags. By automatically detecting and converting text to the appropriate language, the system maintains both information accessibility and driver comprehensibility.
3Reliability
If the system stores personal information in advance, then accurate driver information can be acquired, but additional storage devices and data management are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses multi-functional identification tags that serve both as storage media for personal information and as authentication credentials. This universal approach maintains data reliability while minimizing additional device complexity, as the same tag handles multiple functions.

AI summary
A display device for a vehicle is provided, the device including personal information acquisition section, environment information acquisition section, information conversion section and display section. The personal information acquisition section acquires personal information about a driver of the vehicle from an identification tag in which the personal information of the driver is recorded. The environment information acquisition section acquires environment information about a vicinity of the vehicle. The information conversion section converts the environment information in accordance with the personal information of the driver. The display section displays the converted information to the interior of a passenger compartment of the vehicle.
