Solution Overview

Problem

As vehicle functions become more complex, many drivers, especially older drivers, struggle to understand and utilize advanced features effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that provides a user tutorial through virtual driving scenes, reconstructing events based on the driver's experience, using sensor information to create tutorial files that include usage simulations and guidance for driving assistance functions, and allowing for the purchase of missing functions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If vehicle functions become more advanced and complex, then vehicle capabilities and features are improved, but driver understanding and ease of use deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle functionsVSAvoiddriver understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically recording driving situations and pre-processing sensor data during normal operation. When a function is activated, the tutorial content is already prepared and can be immediately displayed, eliminating the need for real-time data collection and processing during the tutorial phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates virtual copies of real driving situations by reconstructing driving scenes using recorded sensor data. These virtual scenarios replicate actual driving conditions without requiring the driver to re-experience the original situation, making complex functions easier to understand through simplified visual representations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of information

If traditional tutorials are provided, then drivers receive basic function information, but engagement and understanding of complex functions remain insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction information deliveryVSAvoiddriver engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by customizing tutorial content based on specific driving situations and the particular functions activated. Each tutorial is tailored to the driver's actual experience rather than providing generic information, with virtual scenes that reflect the specific context in which the function was used.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds a visual dimension to traditional text-based tutorials by displaying virtual driving scenes alongside function information. This multi-dimensional approach combines actual sensor data visualizations with explanatory content, creating a more engaging and comprehensible learning experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive sensor data is collected for tutorials, then tutorial accuracy and relevance are improved, but data processing complexity and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetutorial accuracyVSAvoiddata processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential sensor data relevant to the activated function and specific driving situation. Rather than processing and storing all available sensor data, it selectively extracts and processes only the portions needed for creating accurate but simplified virtual scenarios and tutorials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method for providing a user tutorial of a plurality of driving assistance functions in a vehicle including a sensor module and a controller for identifying a driving situation based on sensor information received from the sensor module, can include the controller identifying whether a preset event occurs during driving of the vehicle, and the controller creating a tutorial file for the event according to occurrence of the event. The tutorial event can be displayed to the driver after the driving is terminated to provide the user tutorial to the driver.
