Vehicle Driving Assistance Trial Settings With Auto Cancellation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users hesitate to introduce settings to their vehicles due to uncertainty about suitability and potential ongoing usage, leading to reluctance in applying settings for normal usage without conditions.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle information processing device that allows users to select an introduction mode for trial usage, applying settings to the vehicle under predetermined conditions, such as time, distance, or specific usage scenarios, enabling users to test settings easily and cancel them automatically when predetermined conditions are met.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If settings are applied to the vehicle for normal usage without conditions, then the setting becomes permanently active, but the user hesitates due to uncertainty about suitability and potential ongoing usage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic setting application where settings can switch between conditional and unconditional modes. The setting application state is not fixed but can change based on user feedback and trial results, allowing the system to adapt from a hesitant initial state to a confirmed usage state.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary trial usage before full setting application. Users can first activate settings under predetermined conditions (trial mode) to evaluate suitability before committing to permanent activation, reducing initial hesitation through risk-free testing.
2Ease of operation
If settings are applied under predetermined conditions for trial usage, then the user can easily test the setting, but the setting needs to be automatically canceled when conditions are met
Solution Approach 1:
The setting management system automatically monitors predetermined conditions and cancels trial settings when conditions are met, without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by detecting condition satisfaction and executing cancellation autonomously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors usage conditions and provides automatic responses. When predetermined conditions are satisfied, the system receives feedback and automatically adjusts the setting state, creating a closed-loop control system.
3Ease of operation
If the setting is automatically canceled when predetermined conditions are satisfied, then the user does not need to perform complicated operations, but the system must continuously monitor conditions
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous monitoring, the system employs periodic checking of predetermined conditions at natural intervals (e.g., at the end of each usage period or when specific events occur). This reduces energy consumption while still enabling automatic cancellation when conditions are met.

AI summary
A vehicle information processing device includes: a reception unit that receives a selection of a user of an introduction mode of a setting related to driving assistance of a vehicle; and a setting change unit that applies the setting to the vehicle under a predetermined condition in accordance with the selection by the user, the selection being a selection that has been received by the reception unit, when the user selects an introduction mode for trial usage in which the setting is applied to the vehicle under the predetermined condition.
