Vehicle Display Theme Control Through Driving Behavior Rewards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicle users are unable to access customizable and colorful interface themes for their vehicle display terminals without incurring additional costs, as manufacturers typically charge for these themes, leading to bland default settings that may not effectively showcase the vehicle's features.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize driving data, such as fuel efficiency and traffic regulation violations, to determine a driving behavior score, allowing users to select custom theme images when the score meets a predetermined value, thereby providing a reward for safe and responsible driving without additional fees.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle manufacturers charge for interface themes, then they can provide colorful and customized themes, but vehicle users have to pay additional fees which most users do not prefer
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically evaluates driving behavior data and awards themes without requiring user payment or manual intervention. The vehicle's own driving data serves as the criterion for theme acquisition, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating the need for external payment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the acquisition parameter from monetary payment to driving behavior evaluation. By transforming the theme acquisition mechanism from a commercial transaction to a behavior-based reward system, it resolves the contradiction between providing customized themes and avoiding additional user costs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle manufacturers provide paid themes, then the cluster interface becomes more colorful and customized, but the theme setting interface becomes bland for users who do not pay
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback loop where driving behavior is continuously monitored and evaluated, and theme availability is dynamically adjusted based on the evaluated score. This feedback mechanism ensures that users can access customized themes through their driving performance, making the interface appealing without requiring payment.
Solution Approach 2:
The theme setting interface transitions from a static, bland state to a dynamic state where theme availability changes based on driving behavior evaluation. The system dynamically adjusts theme accessibility, creating an engaging user experience that evolves with the user's driving performance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manufacturers develop multiple interface themes, then the vehicle display terminal becomes more customizable and colorful, but users cannot access these themes without paying fees
Solution Approach 1:
The driving behavior evaluation system serves as an intermediary between the developed themes and the users. Instead of direct payment transactions, the evaluation system mediates theme access by assessing driving behavior and awarding themes based on the evaluated score, making themes accessible without direct payment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the vehicle's own driving data as the criterion for theme acquisition, making the theme distribution self-service oriented. Users automatically receive themes based on their driving performance without needing to contact manufacturers or make payments, improving theme accessibility.

AI summary
In a method and an apparatus for controlling an interface theme of a vehicle display terminal, the vehicle display terminal is configured to provide a theme setting interface, and store a plurality of theme interface images. The method may include: obtaining driving data in a driving process of a vehicle user; determining a driving behavior score of the vehicle user based on the obtained driving data and a preset scoring mechanism; determining whether the determined driving behavior score reaches a predetermined value; and when it is determined that the driving behavior score reaches the predetermined value, allowing the vehicle user to select any one of a plurality of theme interface images through the theme setting interface.
