Vehicle Terminal Automatic Message Reply System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies either prohibit the use of certain applications while driving, which is inconvenient, or allow them, posing safety risks when the driver responds to messages, as they cannot automatically manage application usage during vehicle operation.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device with a first execution unit for navigation and a second execution unit for message transmission and reception, which automatically replies to messages while driving, in cooperation with a first information processing device controlling the first execution unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the driver is prohibited from using applications while driving, then safety is improved, but convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic reply functionality where the terminal device autonomously responds to messages without requiring driver intervention. The second execution unit automatically generates and sends replies based on received messages, allowing the system to serve itself during driving conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary classification of messages into replyable and non-replyable types before the driver needs to respond. By pre-configuring automatic reply rules and message classification criteria, the system prepares response mechanisms in advance, enabling quick automatic responses when messages are received during driving.
2Ease of operation
If the driver is allowed to use applications while driving, then convenience is improved, but safety deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary automatic reply mechanism that mediates between the driver and message communication. Instead of direct driver interaction with messages, the automatic reply function acts as a mediator that handles routine communications, reducing the need for driver intervention while maintaining communication effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments message handling into different types: replyable messages handled automatically by the second execution unit and non-replyable messages requiring manual driver attention. This segmentation allows the system to automate appropriate communications while preserving driver control for important messages.
3Loss of information
If the driver manually replies to messages while driving, then message communication is maintained, but safety deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs self-service by automatically generating and sending replies to messages without requiring driver participation. The second execution unit autonomously handles the complete reply process including message reception, reply generation, and transmission, eliminating the need for driver intervention in message communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the automatic reply function monitors incoming messages, determines appropriate responses based on pre-set rules, and executes replies automatically. This closed-loop feedback system ensures continuous message communication while maintaining safety by eliminating manual driver input requirements.

AI summary
A terminal device that includes a first execution unit that executes a first application having a navigation function for a user in a vehicle, and a second execution unit that executes a second application having a transmission function and a reception function of a message, and the second execution unit automatically replies to the message in cooperation with the first application in a case where the second execution unit receives the message to the second application while the vehicle is being driven.
