Solution Overview

Problem

Existing in-vehicle display systems face challenges in providing immersive experiences by effectively coordinating visual outputs to account for the driver's emotional state and surrounding environment, leading to inconsistent and potentially distracting visual cues.

Innovation Solution

A system that determines a color tone, texture style, and driver emotion profile using exterior-facing cameras and sensors, applying color and style transfer algorithms to generate synchronized visual and light outputs across multiple displays and ambient lighting, enhancing the immersive experience by aligning with the driver's emotional state and environmental context.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple color display devices and ambient lighting sources are combined to enhance user experience, then visual output consistency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual output consistencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters of light generating devices (color temperature, brightness, hue) based on captured images to achieve visual consistency. The controller analyzes image data and adjusts device parameters dynamically to match the desired visual output characteristics across multiple displays and ambient lighting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses captured images as feedback to continuously adjust and coordinate the visual output of multiple light generating devices. The controller monitors the visual environment and modifies device settings in real-time to maintain consistency, creating a closed-loop control system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If color display devices and ambient lighting are coordinated to provide immersive experience, then driver engagement is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmersive experienceVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the operation of light generating devices based on real-time image analysis and driver state monitoring. Instead of continuous full-power operation, devices are activated and adjusted only when and where needed to create immersive effects, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies immersive visual effects selectively to specific regions or devices rather than uniformly across all light generating devices. By targeting specific displays or lighting zones based on driver engagement needs, the system achieves immersive experience where necessary while conserving energy in other areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If visual output is adjusted based on driver emotion and environmental context, then driving performance is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving performanceVSAvoidemotion detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a multi-functional approach where the same image capture and analysis infrastructure serves multiple purposes: environmental scene capture, driver face detection, and emotion inference. This universal system handles diverse tasks (scene analysis, driver monitoring, visual output coordination) without requiring separate specialized measurement devices, thereby managing precision requirements through integrated multi-purpose processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
