Vehicle Voice Notification Control by Information Update Time
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information delivery systems for vehicles do not effectively distinguish between information with newer and older update dates, leading to reduced user convenience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that generates and delivers voice notifications based on the update date and time of information, using different voice data formats for newer and older information, with longer sentences for new information and shorter sentences for old information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If voice notifications are provided for all notification information regardless of update date, then information delivery completeness is improved, but user annoyance increases due to redundant old information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the notification approach based on the update date of the information. For newly updated information, full voice notifications are provided, while for older information, notifications are suppressed or modified. This localized differentiation in notification quality based on information freshness resolves the contradiction between complete information delivery and reducing user annoyance from redundant notifications.
2Loss of information
If detailed voice notifications are provided for all information, then information completeness is improved, but driver distraction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by adjusting the notification intensity based on information update recency. For newly updated information that is more likely to be relevant, detailed voice notifications are provided. For older information, notifications are reduced or omitted. This localized adjustment of notification detail level resolves the contradiction between providing complete information and minimizing driver distraction.
3Stability of the object's composition
If voice notifications are provided for older information, then information delivery consistency is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to irrelevant notifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the notification system adaptive rather than static. The notification behavior dynamically changes based on the update date of the information, with newly updated information triggering notifications and older information not triggering notifications. This dynamic adjustment based on information freshness resolves the contradiction between consistent information delivery and user convenience by filtering out irrelevant old information.
Data Source
AI summary
A controller of an information processing apparatus accesses a web page on which a notification information that is an information to be notified to a user of a vehicle is posted, and obtains a latest update and time of the notification information posted on the web page. The controller transmits, in response to the update date and time being after a predetermined date and time, a first command to output a first voice data that is a voice data according to the notification information to the terminal of the vehicle. The controller transmits, in response to determining that the update date and time is earlier than the predetermined date and time, a second command to output a second voice data that is a voice data according to the notification information and that is shorter than the first voice data to the terminal.
