Vehicle Event Mode Control for Automatic Capture and Remote Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Participants in events often miss capturing important moments due to focusing on recording experiences for non-participants, and non-participants miss the event experience entirely, necessitating a system to facilitate real-time event sharing and remote participation.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle event mode system that activates vehicle units based on event type and user preferences, capturing and sharing audiovisual recordings, and enabling vehicle-to-vehicle communication for seamless event experience sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If participants use their cameras or mobile phones to capture event recordings, then the event experience can be shared with non-participants, but participants may focus more on capturing moments rather than enjoying the celebration
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle system automatically captures event recordings and transmits them to non-participants without requiring manual operation by participants. The system serves itself by detecting event modes and autonomously managing the recording and sharing process, freeing participants from the burden of operating cameras or phones.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle acts as an intermediary device between the event and non-participants. Instead of participants directly capturing and transmitting recordings, the vehicle system mediates this process by automatically capturing audiovisual data and sharing it with remote users, thus eliminating the need for participants to handle recording devices.
2Loss of information
If participants carry cameras or mobile phones to capture events, then important moments can be recorded, but participants must carry additional devices
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle system serves multiple functions: it captures audiovisual recordings, transmits them to non-participants, and provides entertainment systems. By consolidating these functions into the vehicle rather than requiring separate cameras and phones, the system reduces the quantity of devices participants need to carry.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the functions of camera, audio recorder, and communication device into the vehicle's existing systems. The vehicle's entertainment system and communication infrastructure are combined to create an integrated event capture and sharing solution, eliminating the need for participants to carry separate recording devices.
3Ease of operation
If non-participants are located at remote locations, then they cannot join the celebration, but they miss the event experience
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle system acts as an intermediary that bridges the physical gap between remote non-participants and the event. By capturing audiovisual recordings and transmitting them through communication networks to remote locations, the vehicle enables non-participants to experience the event despite being geographically separated.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions the event experience from a purely physical, location-dependent dimension to a digital, network-enabled dimension. By transmitting audiovisual data through communication networks, the system allows non-participants to access the event experience from remote locations, adding a spatial dimension independence to the celebration.
Data Source
AI summary
A method to manage an event mode of a vehicle. The method includes receiving first input associated with the vehicle event mode. The method further includes determining an event type based on the first input. Further, the method includes obtaining an event type information. The event type information may include user preferences corresponding to the determined event type. In addition, the method includes determining whether the event is inside or outside the vehicle. Based on the determination whether the event is inside or outside the vehicle, the event type, and the event type information, the method includes selecting a vehicle unit configuration, and activating or actuating vehicle units based on the vehicle unit configuration.
