Vehicle IoT Information Sharing System for Driver Emotion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle communication systems, relying on basic structures like car lights and horns, struggle to convey emotion-related information, leading to misunderstandings and potential dangers, especially when a front vehicle obstructs the sight of a rear driver.
Innovation Solution
An information sharing system utilizing IoT devices to gather and share traffic-related and emotion-related information between vehicles, pedestrians, and smart city infrastructure through various interaction modes, including display panels, voice control, and network connectivity, enhancing communication beyond conventional means.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If basic vehicle structures (car lights, car horns) are used for communication, then the system is simple and easy to manufacture, but the ability to convey emotion-related information and driver understanding is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information sharing system as an intermediary between drivers, vehicles, and infrastructure. This mediator collects, processes, and transmits emotion-related information and traffic status data, enabling better communication without requiring complex modifications to basic vehicle structures. The intermediary handles the complexity of information processing while keeping individual vehicle components simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The information sharing system is designed to serve multiple functions: conveying emotion-related information, transmitting traffic status data, improving driver understanding, and enhancing overall communication. By creating a multi-functional system, the patent addresses information loss across various communication scenarios without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.
2Loss of information
If a front vehicle obscures the sight of a rear driver, then the basic vehicle structure remains unchanged, but the rear driver cannot understand what happens ahead and becomes anxious
Solution Approach 1:
The information sharing system acts as a mediator that captures traffic status information from the front vehicle's perspective and transmits it to the rear driver. This intermediary solution allows the rear driver to understand ahead conditions without requiring direct line of sight, eliminating anxiety while maintaining simple vehicle structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical line-of-sight requirement with an electronic information transmission system. Instead of relying on the rear driver's physical ability to see ahead, the system uses sensors, processors, and communication devices to transmit visual and status information electronically, substituting mechanical sight with technological information sharing.
3Reliability
If IoT devices are deployed to gather and share information, then driver understanding and safety improve, but the device complexity and infrastructure requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The IoT devices in the information sharing system are designed with multi-functionality, serving as sensors, processors, communicators, and actuators simultaneously. This universal design reduces the need for separate specialized devices, managing complexity while enhancing driver safety through comprehensive information gathering and sharing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple functions into integrated IoT devices and combines various information sources (sensors, cameras, vehicle data) into a unified information sharing system. By merging components and functions, the system achieves high reliability for driver safety while managing device complexity through integration rather than proliferation of separate systems.
