Abstract:
This paper introduces a prototype of a highly adaptive in-car-infotainment system. The prototype processes historical user interactions in order to discover regular sequences of interaction events within similar environments. The discovered environments in form of road segments and the activities will be used to adapt the human-machine interface (HMI) in case the car approaches an environment that is likely to contain a known activity. Temporal event patterns as well as grouping criteria need to be prespecified to control the detection of characteristical activities and to define the way two road segments are declared to be similar. Furthermore, a brief technical introduction of the automotive specific process of location information preprocessing is given, which is used by the prototype to interpret its environment or to group road segments. The use cases of a button that changes its size depending on the probability of being pressed at a certain road as well as a HMI that automatically switches to a certain radio station based on historical user initiated radio station changes at similar road segments will be discussed in detail.
