Vehicle Gesture Control Using User Profiles for Personalized Functions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicles fail to create a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates both physical and mental comforts, leading to a lack of intuitive and immersive user experiences, as they focus on adding comfort features rather than designing the vehicle around user comfort.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control system that utilizes gesture recognition and user profiling to adapt vehicle functions, providing an intuitive interface by receiving and verifying user gestures, modifying settings based on user characteristics, and controlling functions accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If vehicle manufacturers add comfort features to vehicles, then user comfort is improved, but the vehicle design fails to create an immersive and intuitive user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting user gestures and retrieving stored user profiles before executing control functions. The control system proactively identifies user intent through gesture recognition and prepares appropriate responses based on pre-stored profile data, creating a seamless and intuitive interaction experience before the user even completes their command
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves itself by automatically retrieving and applying user profile settings based on detected gestures. The control system independently matches gestures to functions and adapts vehicle settings according to stored user preferences without requiring manual configuration, enabling the vehicle to self-adapt to different users and situations
2Reliability
If a gesture verification system is implemented, then control reliability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system performs multiple functions through a unified gesture recognition framework. The same system detects gestures, verifies them against stored profiles, retrieves appropriate settings, and executes control functions, eliminating the need for separate verification hardware or complex multi-step authentication processes while maintaining high reliability
3Adaptability or versatility
If user profiles are stored and retrieved based on gestures, then adaptability is improved, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by storing and retrieving specific user profile data relevant to particular gestures and functions. Rather than processing entire user profiles indiscriminately, the control system selectively accesses only the portions of stored data needed for the current gesture context, optimizing data processing efficiency while maintaining comprehensive adaptability

AI summary
The vehicle control system/method for adapting a control function based on a user profile may comprise: a gesture recognition module; a user profile module; a function control module; a processor; a non-transitory storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to: identify a user; retrieve a user profile for the identified user; receive at a gesture recognition module, an input indicating a gesture from the user; identify a control function request corresponding to the gesture input; send a verification of the control function request; and receive at a function control module characteristics parsed from the user profile that effect the control function request by the user profile module to adapt a control function command for an adapted control function output by the function control module.
