DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY ADJUSTMENT BASED ON DRIVING STYLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835012 titled 'DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY ADJUSTMENT BASED ON DRIVING STYLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system and method for a vehicle control assist system that can customize driver assistance settings based on the operating behavior of the vehicle's operator. Here are the key points:
- The system retrieves stored driver assistance settings for a specific operator of the vehicle.
- It collects operating behavior data of the identified operator during vehicle operation.
- A machine learning program is used to analyze the operating behavior data of the identified operator.
- The machine learning program has been trained with operating behavior data from multiple operators of different vehicles.
- The program selects a driver assistance setting for the vehicle control assist system based on the inputted operating behavior data.
- The selected driver assistance setting is determined by comparing the metadata (characteristics or attributes) of the identified operator with the metadata of other operators.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Personalized driver assistance: The system can adapt the vehicle's control assist system to the specific preferences and behavior of each individual driver.
- Enhanced safety: By analyzing the operating behavior data, the system can identify potential risks or patterns that may require adjustments to the driver assistance settings, improving overall safety.
- Improved user experience: Customized driver assistance settings can enhance the driving experience by providing a more personalized and comfortable environment for the operator.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of customization: Traditional vehicle control assist systems often have fixed settings that may not suit the preferences or behavior of individual drivers. This technology solves this problem by adapting the settings based on the operator's behavior.
- Safety concerns: By analyzing operating behavior data, the system can identify potential risks or patterns that may require adjustments to the driver assistance settings, improving overall safety.
Benefits of this technology:
- Personalization: The system allows for personalized driver assistance settings, providing a more tailored experience for each operator.
- Improved safety: By adapting the driver assistance settings based on the operator's behavior, the system can enhance safety by addressing specific risks or patterns.
- Enhanced user experience: Customized settings can improve the overall driving experience, making it more comfortable and intuitive for the operator.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and method to a vehicle control assist system of a vehicle to an operator of the vehicle includes: retrieving stored driver assistance settings of an identified operator for the vehicle control assist system of the vehicle; collecting operating behavior data about the identified operator during vehicle operation; and selecting a driver assistance setting of a vehicle control assist system based on inputting the operating behavior data of the identified operator to a machine learning program that has been trained with operating behavior data of a plurality of other operators collected during operation of a plurality of respective vehicles, wherein metadata about the other operators have values in common with the metadata of the identified operator.
