Vehicle Light Pattern Capture for Personalized Choreography
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle lighting choreographic patterns are immutable and cannot be modified or augmented with user-specific effects, limiting customization and compatibility across different vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle system equipped with image and acoustic sensors, pattern recognition code, and a wireless network interface allows drivers to scan, record, and customize lighting patterns from other vehicles, enabling purchase or lease of compatible choreographic effects through a central server or database.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If lighting patterns are hardwired and encoded into the vehicle during manufacture, then the lighting patterns are reliable and consistent, but they cannot be modified or augmented with user-specific choreographic effects
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting pattern system transitions from static, hardwired patterns to dynamic, modifiable patterns. The processing system can load, execute, and modify choreographic patterns during vehicle operation, allowing users to customize lighting effects without changing the physical hardware configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting pattern functionality is segmented into separate modular components: the core lighting hardware remains fixed, while the choreographic patterns are divided into independent executable code segments that can be individually loaded, modified, and updated through software without affecting the underlying hardware architecture.
2Adaptability or versatility
If lighting patterns are sourced from available hardware and executable code during manufacture, then the patterns are consistent with vehicle specifications, but they cannot be reproduced on vehicles that lack these features
Solution Approach 1:
The processing system is designed with universal capabilities to execute multiple different choreographic patterns on various vehicle configurations. The system can adapt the same hardware resources to produce different lighting effects suitable for different vehicle types, making the pattern reproduction capability universally applicable across the vehicle fleet.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adjusts operational parameters of the lighting hardware to reproduce choreographic patterns across different vehicle configurations. By modifying parameters such as intensity, timing, and sequence of light emissions, the system can replicate desired patterns even when hardware specifications vary between vehicles.
3Measurement precision
If the vehicle system scans and records light patterns using image and acoustic sensors, then the pattern recognition accuracy is improved, but the time required to acquire and process the patterns increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary scanning and data collection operations to capture lighting patterns before full processing begins. Image and acoustic sensors continuously monitor and pre-record potential pattern data in the background, so when pattern acquisition is initiated, the system already has preliminary data ready for rapid processing and matching.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from initial sensor readings to dynamically adjust the scanning and processing parameters. As the image and acoustic sensors detect pattern characteristics in real-time, the system refines its search criteria and processing focus, improving recognition accuracy while minimizing the time spent on exhaustive analysis of non-matching patterns.
Data Source
AI summary
Vehicles, systems and methods for acquiring a choreographic light pattern not previously available to the vehicles are presented. In some aspects, a target vehicle includes a processing system therein, an input interface coupled to the processing system and accessible to a user, and one or more image or other sensors positioned for capturing data from a source vehicle emitting a light pattern of interest. The processing system may scan and record a light pattern emitted by a portion of another vehicle in a line of sight of the vehicle. The scan uses data from the sensors and pattern recognition code. The identified light pattern is converted into metadata and transmitted to a central database. If the transmitted pattern is available and compatible with the target vehicle, the database may send a prompt to the target vehicle to download or purchase the pattern.
