Abstract
Systems and method are provided for controlling a vehicle. A method of soundscape selection in a vehicle includes receiving a number of biometric parameters from sensors provided within an interior of the vehicle, and determining a state-of-mind of an occupant within the interior of the vehicle based on the biometric parameters. The method further includes selecting, with a soundscape determination module including a processor, a soundscape responsive to the state of mind of the occupant, and providing to the vehicle a set of vehicle parameters based on the selected soundscape.
Claims17
A method of soundscape selection in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of biometric parameters from one or more sensors provided within an interior of the vehicle;
- determining, using an artificial neural network, a state of mind of an occupant within the interior of the vehicle based on the biometric parameters and a plurality of vehicular context parameters;
- determining, using a decision tree and with a soundscape determination module including a processor, a soundscape that changes the state of mind of the occupant;
- and
- providing to the vehicle a set of vehicle parameters based on the selected soundscape.
An autonomous vehicle comprising:
- one or more sensors provided within an interior of the autonomous vehicle, the one or more sensors configured to observe an occupant within the interior of the autonomous vehicle and produce a plurality of biometric parameters associated therewith;
- a state of mind determination module, including a processor, configured to determine a state of mind of an occupant within the interior of the vehicle based on the plurality of biometric parameters and a vehicular context parameters and using an artificial neural network;
- and
- a soundscape determination module, including the processor, configured to determine a soundscape that changes the state of mind of the occupant based on a decision tree and provide to the vehicle a set of vehicle parameters based on the selected soundscape.
