Solution Overview
Problem
On-vehicle information processing apparatuses often provide a constant operation screen that does not match the functions of the connected portable apparatus, leading to user confusion due to mismatched functionalities.
Innovation Solution
An on-vehicle information processing apparatus that includes a communication device to identify the functions available in a connected portable apparatus via Bluetooth communication and generates a customizable operation screen based on the detected functions, ensuring only available functions are displayed and accessible to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a constant operation screen is provided without considering the portable apparatus model, then the on-vehicle information processing apparatus can support a wide variety of portable apparatuses, but user confusion occurs due to mismatched functions
Solution Approach 1:
The operation screen dynamically adapts its content based on the detected functions of the connected portable apparatus. The screen generating device modifies the displayed functions in real-time according to the actual capabilities of the connected device, ensuring that only compatible functions are shown to the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system detects the function information of the connected portable apparatus and uses this feedback to adjust the operation screen content. The screen generating device receives function detection results and accordingly configures which functions to display, creating a closed-loop system that prevents user confusion.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the operation screen displays all possible functions, then comprehensive functionality is offered, but functions that cannot be implemented cause user confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the portable apparatus functions before generating the operation screen. By detecting which functions are actually available in the connected device beforehand, the system pre-configures the operation screen to only display implementable functions, preventing user confusion about unavailable features.
3Ease of operation
If the operation screen is customized based on portable apparatus functions, then user confusion is reduced, but the complexity of the screen generating device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The screen generating device automatically detects portable apparatus functions and self-configures the operation screen content without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by using the detected function information to autonomously determine which functions to display, reducing the need for complex manual configuration mechanisms.
