In-Vehicle Highlight Video Playback Around Driving and Stops
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Driving while watching videos can cause driver distraction and is often prohibited by law, limiting the ability to enjoy video streaming services during vehicle travel.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle system that determines traveling and stopped states to play highlight videos during stops, using a processor to control a display to output audio-only during travel and both audio and video during stops, with highlight videos received and stored based on predicted stop information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If video content is played during driving, then driver entertainment is improved, but driver safety deteriorates due to distraction
Solution Approach 1:
The video content is segmented into two types: full video content that cannot be played during driving, and highlight videos that can be played during driving. This segmentation allows the system to provide entertainment during driving without violating safety regulations by playing complete video content.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of playing the complete video content during driving (which would be excessive and unsafe), the system plays only the highlight portions of the video. This partial action provides sufficient entertainment value while maintaining driver safety.
2Reliability
If video content is stopped during driving, then driver safety is improved, but driver satisfaction deteriorates due to interrupted viewing
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by receiving and storing highlight videos during stopped periods before the driver needs to drive. When driving is detected, the pre-stored highlight videos are immediately playable, eliminating the need to wait for the vehicle to stop again to continue watching.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the video content in the form of highlight videos that capture the essence of the original video. These highlight videos can be played during driving without requiring the original video content to be played, thus maintaining driver satisfaction while ensuring safety.
3Ease of operation
If highlight videos are received and stored during stopped periods, then driver satisfaction is improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple processing states
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on the vehicle's operational state. During stopped periods, the system receives and stores highlight videos. During driving periods, the system plays the stored highlight videos. This dynamic state-based operation manages complexity by having the system perform different functions in different states rather than maintaining all functions simultaneously.

AI summary
A vehicle includes a transceiver configured to perform communication with a first server, a display configured to output at least one of a video signal and an audio signal of video content, and a processor configured to determine whether a vehicle travels, receive one or more highlight videos corresponding to a first period in which the vehicle was in a traveling state from the first server, and control the display to play the highlight video during a second period in which the vehicle is in a stopped state.
