Problem
Traditional vehicle electronic displays lack the ability to store and retrieve user-specific configurations, offering minimal customization options that do not account for individual user preferences, limiting personalization and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing a processor to store and retrieve personalized information panel configurations based on user biometric information, allowing users to customize graphics, colors, shapes, and text modifications linked to vehicle metrics, and enabling multiple user profiles for different drivers and passengers, using biometric identification and input devices like fingerprint scanners or touch screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional vehicle electronic displays are used with fixed configurations, then device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability and ease of operation deteriorate due to lack of user-specific customization
Solution Approach 1:
The display configuration is segmented into multiple user-specific profiles, each storing independent customized settings for gauges, controllers, and visual parameters. The system divides the single display into multiple configurable instances that can be independently tailored to different users' preferences and needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic display system is designed to serve multiple functions by accommodating different user profiles with customized configurations. A single display device universally supports multiple users with their respective preferred layouts, visual styles, and information prioritizations, making the system adaptable to various user needs without requiring separate hardware for each user.
2Ease of operation
If multiple user profiles with customized configurations are stored and retrieved, then adaptability and ease of operation are improved, but device complexity and loss of information increase
Solution Approach 1:
User-specific configurations are pre-stored in the system memory associated with each user profile before the user needs them. The system proactively captures and saves customized gauge layouts, controller settings, and visual preferences during initial user setup or subsequent customization sessions, so that when a user logs in, their personalized configuration is already ready for immediate retrieval and application.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and maintains digital copies of each user's customized display configuration, storing complete sets of gauge arrangements, controller settings, and visual parameters as replicable data structures. These copied configurations can be instantly retrieved and applied without manual recreation, ensuring that personalized settings are preserved and readily available across different usage sessions.
3Ease of operation
If biometric identification and remote storage are implemented, then ease of operation and adaptability are improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
Biometric sensors and recognition algorithms serve as intermediary components that automatically identify users and trigger the retrieval of their stored configurations. The biometric system acts as a mediator between the user's physical presence and the digital configuration database, seamlessly connecting user identity verification with the appropriate profile activation without requiring manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to automatically retrieve their personalized configurations through self-service biometric authentication. When a user enters the vehicle or approaches the display, the system autonomously captures biometric data, identifies the user, and automatically applies the corresponding customized configuration without requiring the user to manually select or configure settings, making the process convenient and hands-free.

AI summary
Provided are systems and methods for facilitating a user to configure and retrieve personalized settings for a fully designable information panel in a driving apparatus. The information panel system may be configured to store a plurality information panel configurations. Different information panel configurations may correspond to different users of the driving apparatus. Users may be identified when inside the driving apparatus by capturing their biometric information. Following identification, an information panel configuration corresponding to the identified user may be retrieved and configured on a display device. The displayed information panel configuration may include a user customized graphic. The user customized graphic may be modified by the identified user with a color, shape, or text modification. The modification may be dependent on different metrics regarding vehicle operation or performance.
