Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicles lack an integrated ecosystem that seamlessly combines physical and mental comforts with intuitive electronic device communication, failing to create a vehicle environment similar to a user's home, which affects user experience and preference.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows user profiles to govern vehicle functions through biometric verification, gesture recognition, and device integration, enabling personalized settings based on user position within the vehicle, using NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, and IR communications, and allowing profile editing and synchronization across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication protocols (NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, IR) are integrated for device connectivity, then communication versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle system integrates multiple communication protocols (NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, IR) into a single universal communication interface that can automatically select and switch between different protocols based on the connected device type, allowing one system to perform multiple communication functions without requiring separate dedicated hardware for each protocol
Solution Approach 2:
A protocol translation layer or intermediary module is introduced that mediates between different communication protocols, converting signals between NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, and IR formats, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture by providing a unified interface that handles protocol compatibility and conversion
2Adaptability or versatility
If user profiles govern vehicle functions with biometric verification, then user experience personalization is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
User profiles and biometric data are pre-configured and stored in the system before actual use. When a user enters the vehicle, the system automatically performs biometric verification against pre-stored data and applies the corresponding profile settings, eliminating the need for manual configuration during each use
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic biometric verification and profile application without requiring user intervention. The vehicle system independently identifies users through biometric sensors, retrieves their profiles, and configures vehicle functions automatically, reducing the complexity of user interaction while maintaining high personalization
3Object-affected harmful factors
If parental controls limit vehicle functions based on user profiles, then child safety is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts vehicle function availability based on the detected user profile. When a child profile is identified through biometric verification, parental controls are automatically activated to limit access to certain functions. When an adult profile is detected, full functionality is restored, eliminating the need for manual control switching
4Ease of operation
If gesture recognition is implemented for device control, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple sensor types (cameras, accelerometers, gyroscopes, capacitive sensors) are merged into a unified gesture recognition system that combines data from different sources to detect and interpret user gestures, improving robustness and reducing the precision requirements of individual sensors while maintaining high overall detection accuracy
Data Source
AI summary
A system to access one or more user profiles that govern one or more vehicle functions. The system cooperates with a processor and verification module which are adapted to verify, using one or more of biometric information, gesture recognition, facial recognition and device identification information, that a user has authority to access the one or more user profiles, where the one or more profiles are stored in one or more of a vehicle, a cloud and a communications device. An edit module is further provided and adapted to allow the user to make one or more edits to the one or more user profiles.
