Solution Overview

Problem

In autonomous vehicle environments, existing technologies lack efficient methods to recognize and associate passenger faces with vehicle terminals, leading to limited user convenience and ineffective communication connections.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus and method that utilize sensors to recognize passenger faces, acquire their positions, and store this information in association with terminal positions within a preset distance, enabling enhanced communication connections and improved user convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If face recognition and terminal association methods are implemented in autonomous vehicles, then user convenience and communication connection effectiveness are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs face recognition and terminal association in advance during vehicle operation. The processor continuously captures passenger faces via sensors, recognizes them, and associates them with terminals based on positional information before communication needs arise, preparing the system proactively rather than reactively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs face recognition, position tracking, and terminal association without requiring manual user input. The processor autonomously compares captured faces with stored data, determines positional relationships, and establishes associations independently, reducing operational burden on users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If continuous face recognition and position tracking are performed, then communication connection accuracy is improved, but energy consumption and processing load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication connection accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs face recognition and position tracking at periodic intervals rather than continuously. The processor captures images and determines positions at scheduled moments, maintaining measurement accuracy while reducing overall processing frequency and energy consumption compared to uninterrupted monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from position difference calculations to adjust processing intensity. When the position difference between passenger and terminal exceeds a threshold, the system intensifies recognition and tracking; when within threshold, it reduces processing frequency, optimizing energy use based on actual connection needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
