Vehicle Cabin Control Synchronized With Video Scenes for Immersion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current intelligent cockpit video play functions are simple, failing to provide an immersive experience for users, leading to poor entertainment quality.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that control vehicle systems such as air-conditioner, a seat heating device, an air suspension system, a seat vibrating device, or a seat vibrating device, or an electronic fragrance diffuser, to match the scene information of a video, enhancing user experience by simulating temperature, wind, vibration, and smell.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If video play function is kept simple, then device complexity is reduced, but user immersion and entertainment quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the video playback system with multiple vehicle control systems (air conditioner, seat heating, air suspension, seat vibration, electronic fragrance diffuser) to create a unified immersive entertainment system. The central control unit coordinates these previously separate systems to work together based on video content, transforming isolated functions into an integrated immersive experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the vehicle's existing systems serve multiple functions - the air conditioner not only regulates temperature but also creates atmospheric effects for video immersion; the seat system not only provides comfort but also delivers vibration feedback synchronized with video content; the electronic fragrance diffuser adds olfactory dimension to enhance scene immersion. This multi-functionality enriches the entertainment capability without requiring entirely new dedicated devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple vehicle systems are controlled to match video scenes, then user sensory experience is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a central control unit as an intermediary that receives video information from the playback system and translates it into control signals for various vehicle systems. This mediator coordinates the complex interactions between video content and multiple actuators, managing the overall synchronization and reducing the complexity burden on individual components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the central control unit continuously monitors video content parameters (such as scene type, intensity, temporal changes) and adjusts the vehicle systems accordingly. This feedback loop ensures synchronized response of multiple systems to video scenes while maintaining coordinated operation, preventing chaotic or conflicting actuations.

AI summary
A method for controlling a vehicle includes: obtaining target scene information of a target video and time range information corresponding to the target scene information; and controlling a target device on the vehicle to run in a running state matching with the target scene information within a time range corresponding to the target scene information during a process of playing the target video; where the target device includes at least one of: an air-conditioner, a seat heating device, an air suspension system, a seat vibrating device, or an electronic fragrance diffuser.
