Vehicle Occupant Notification Control for Driving State Transitions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle notification systems face challenges in ensuring that occupants receive information, such as advertisements, at appropriate times without interruption, especially when the vehicle transitions from a stop state to a driving state.
Innovation Solution
The system includes a vehicle control unit with an information decision unit and an information provision unit that determines and provides notifiable information based on the vehicle's traveling, exterior, and interior situations, allowing for appropriate timing and method of information notification to occupants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle notifies occupants of application information during stopping time, then the information can be provided to occupants, but the notification may be interrupted when the vehicle transitions to driving state
Solution Approach 1:
The system checks whether the vehicle is in a stopping state before initiating information notification. By performing this state check in advance, the system ensures that notifications are only initiated when the vehicle is stationary, preventing interruptions during driving transitions and ensuring complete information delivery to occupants.
2Productivity
If the vehicle notifies occupants while in stopping state, then information can be provided, but the stopping time may be insufficient for complete notification
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the notification process based on the vehicle's stopping time duration. When the stopping time is sufficient, the system proceeds with notification; when insufficient, the system delays notification until an appropriate time, ensuring both timely delivery and complete information transmission without interruption.
3Loss of time
If the vehicle provides information notification during driving state transitions, then real-time information can be delivered, but the notification may be cut off or interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system proactively prevents notification interruptions by checking the vehicle's operational state before initiating any information notification. By anticipating potential interruptions during driving transitions, the system only initiates notifications when the vehicle is in a stable stopping state, thereby preventing notification cutoff before it can occur.

AI summary
An information notification system, a vehicle control device, an information notification method, or a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program determines notifiable information indicating a situation required for notifying an occupant of application information, provides the notifiable information to an application, and notifies the occupant of the application information based on the notifiable information.
