OPERATOR-CUSTOMIZED VEHICLE CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18177840 titled 'OPERATOR-CUSTOMIZED VEHICLE CONTROL
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a computer system that can receive input from an operator through a questionnaire, determine the operator's preferences, and then control vehicle components based on those preferences.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Memory stores instructions for receiving operator input and identifying preference groupings.
- Processor executes instructions to assess operator input and actuate vehicle components.
- Operator input is used to determine a preference grouping for the operator.
- Vehicle components are controlled based on the identified preference grouping.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and robotics to personalize user experiences and improve overall satisfaction.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for personalized control systems that can adapt to individual preferences and enhance user interaction with vehicles.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience through personalized control of vehicle components.
- Increased user satisfaction and comfort.
- Enhanced safety by tailoring vehicle settings to individual preferences.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include automotive manufacturers, transportation companies, and robotics companies looking to offer personalized control systems to their customers.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the computer system determine the preference grouping for the operator? 2. What types of vehicle components can be actuated based on the identified preference grouping?
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the fields of human-computer interaction, user experience design, and artificial intelligence that could impact the development and implementation of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive operator input from an operator in response to an operator assessment questionnaire, identify a preference grouping for the operator based on the operator input, and actuate at least one vehicle component based on the preference grouping.
