Vehicle Notification Priority Adjustment for Manual and Autonomous Driving
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information processing systems for vehicles fail to adjust notification priorities appropriately based on driving conditions, leading to inappropriate prioritization of information during manual or autonomous driving, which can distract drivers or fail to provide relevant entertainment during autonomous driving.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with an adjusting unit and a driving-situation detecting unit that switches notification priorities based on whether the vehicle is in manual or autonomous driving mode, ensuring that critical driving information is prioritized during manual driving and entertainment information is provided during autonomous driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If notification priorities are adjusted based on driving conditions (manual vs. autonomous driving), then the appropriateness of information prioritization is improved, but the system complexity increases due to the need for driving-situation detection and dynamic priority adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The notification priority adjustment is made dynamic by detecting the driving situation (manual vs. autonomous driving) and automatically switching between different priority schemes. The adjusting unit changes the priority of notification information based on the detected driving mode, making the system adaptive to different operational contexts without requiring complex manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-adjustment by automatically detecting the driving situation and modifying notification priorities without external intervention. The driving-situation detecting unit and adjusting unit work together to autonomously determine the appropriate priority scheme, eliminating the need for manual system configuration or complex user settings.
2Ease of operation
If entertainment information is prioritized during autonomous driving, then occupant satisfaction is improved, but driver safety may be compromised if driving-related notifications are not sufficiently prominent
Solution Approach 1:
Different notification types are assigned different priority levels based on the driving situation. During autonomous driving, entertainment information receives higher priority while driving operation information maintains sufficient visibility. The system applies quality differentiation to specific notification categories rather than treating all notifications uniformly, ensuring both entertainment and safety needs are met.
Solution Approach 2:
The priority parameters of notification information are dynamically changed based on the detected driving mode. When autonomous driving is detected, the system adjusts the priority parameters to favor entertainment information while maintaining adequate prominence for driving-related notifications, thereby balancing occupant satisfaction with driver safety.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If driving operation information is prioritized during manual driving, then driver safety is improved, but entertainment information may be excessively suppressed reducing occupant comfort
Solution Approach 1:
The notification priority scheme dynamically adapts to the driving mode. During manual driving, the system automatically adjusts priorities to emphasize driving operation information while still providing entertainment notifications at appropriate intervals. This dynamic adjustment ensures driver safety is prioritized without completely suppressing entertainment content, maintaining occupant comfort.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an adjusting unit and a driving-situation detecting unit. The adjusting unit executes an adjustment on pieces of notification information in accordance with priorities. The driving-situation detecting unit acquires drive controlling information. The drive controlling information is information for identifying whether driving control of a moving body is manual driving or autonomous driving. The adjusting unit executes the adjustment in accordance with the priorities that are different depending on the drive controlling information acquired by the driving-situation detecting unit.
