Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for addressing road congestion primarily focus on navigation and do not consider the emotional impact on vehicle occupants, leading to potential discomfort and safety risks due to negative emotions caused by prolonged congestion.

Innovation Solution

A method that detects when a vehicle is in a congestion state and estimates the duration, using navigation data and scene information to push multimedia content, such as music or videos, tailored to the emotional state of occupants to alleviate stress and improve travel comfort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If navigation data is used to detect congestion and provide route alternatives, then routing functionality is improved, but emotional well-being of occupants is not addressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverouting functionalityVSAvoidnegative emotions
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful effect of congestion-induced negative emotions into a beneficial outcome by detecting emotional states through scene information (camera images, audio) and responding with appropriate multimedia content. The system transforms the stressor (congestion) into an opportunity for emotional support and entertainment, thereby converting harm into benefit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces multimedia content (music, videos, games) as an intermediary element between the congestion situation and the occupants. This intermediary serves to mediate the negative emotional impact by providing distraction and comfort, thus resolving the contradiction between routing functionality and emotional well-being.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If multimedia information is pushed during congestion, then emotional well-being is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenegative emotionsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the navigation system multi-functional by adding emotional detection and multimedia push capabilities to the existing navigation functionality. The same device that provides routing information now also monitors emotional states through scene information and delivers appropriate content, thereby reducing the need for separate systems and minimizing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting congestion states through navigation data, analyzing emotional states through scene information, and selecting appropriate multimedia content without requiring manual user input. This automation reduces operational complexity while maintaining the benefit of emotional support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If scene information is collected and analyzed, then emotional state detection accuracy is improved, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotional state detection accuracyVSAvoiddata processing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively collecting scene information only when congestion is detected, rather than continuously processing all possible data. The system focuses on relevant emotional indicators (facial expressions, voice tone) during congestion events, thereby achieving sufficient detection accuracy without the excessive energy cost of continuous comprehensive analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A method for pushing multimedia information, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes the following. Upon detecting that a vehicle is in a traveling state and the vehicle is traveling at a speed lower than a preset speed threshold within a preset time period, navigation data of the vehicle is provided. Duration that the vehicle is in a congestion state is estimated according to the navigation data. Collect scene information in the vehicle. Push multimedia information according to the duration that the vehicle is in the congestion state and the scene information in the vehicle.
