Application: In-vehicle communication support device and in-vehicle communication support method (Patent ID: US20240059229A1)
The patent filed by Alps Alpine Co Ltd describes an in-vehicle communication support device that utilizes speech recognition technology to identify a target occupant within the vehicle and notify them when another occupant is speaking directly to them. This system aims to enhance communication efficiency within the vehicle by ensuring that only the intended recipient of a message is notified, preventing unnecessary interruptions for other occupants. The device uses imaging and sound collection means to recognize speech, identify the sitting position of the target occupant, and provide notifications through tactile or visual stimuli. Additionally, the system can analyze speech content, volume, pitch, and speed, as well as the biological responses of occupants during communication to tailor the notification method accordingly.
Furthermore, the device includes features such as sitting status management, speaker position identification, and response decision units to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of communication notifications. By incorporating these advanced technologies and methods, the in-vehicle communication support device offers a sophisticated solution for optimizing communication interactions between occupants in a vehicle. The patent also outlines a method for implementing this communication support system, involving steps for speech recognition, target occupant identification, and notification delivery to streamline and personalize in-vehicle communication processes.
