Device and method for controlling user interface

A method performed by a device of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• detecting, via at least one sensor of the vehicle, information associated with a passenger of the vehicle, wherein the information comprises an image of the passenger;
• identifying, by a processor of the device and based on the image comprised in the information associated with the passenger, a type of an abnormality associated with an appearance the passenger;
• determining, by the processor and based on the type of the abnormality associated with the appearance of the passenger, a passenger type for the passenger;
• providing, based on the passenger type for the passenger and via a user interface device, a user interface associated with the passenger type, wherein the user interface associated with the passenger type is configured to reduce a task completion time for the passenger type;
• determining, by the processor and based on the image of the passenger, an estimated age of the passenger;
• and
• activating, based on the estimated age of the passenger being equal to or higher than a first critical age or being equal to or lower than a second critical age, a voice recognition device associated with the user interface such that the task completion time for controlling the user interface is shortened.

A device comprising:

• a sensor configured to acquire information associated with a passenger of a vehicle;
• a user interface device configured to receive at least one user input of the passenger;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• monitor, based on the information associated with the passenger, the passenger;
• determine, based on a type of an abnormality associated with an appearance of the passenger in a plurality of images captured by the sensor, a passenger type for the passenger;
• provide, based on the passenger type for the passenger and via the user interface device, a user interface associated with the passenger type, wherein the user interface associated with the passenger type is configured to reduce a task completion time for the passenger type;
• and
• activate, based on an estimated age of the passenger being equal to or higher than a first critical age or being equal to or lower than a second critical age, a voice recognition device associated with the user interface such that the task completion time for controlling the user interface is shortened.
