Method and system for augmented alerting based on driver's state in hybrid driving
The present teaching relates to method, system, and medium, for generating an augmented alert in a hybrid vehicle. First information indicating an upcoming switch in an operating mode of the vehicle is received, which specifies a set of tasks, arranged in an order, to be completed by a driver in the vehicle to achieve the upcoming switch, and a task duration for each of the set of tasks by which the task is to be completed. A current state of the driver is obtained and used to determine a set of warnings to alert the driver to perform the set of tasks. Each warning corresponds to a task in the set of tasks and is created based on the current state of the driver. A warning schedule is generated based on the set of warnings in the order of the set of tasks and transmitted so that warnings in the warning schedule are delivered to the driver.
1. A method, implemented on a machine having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform for generating an alert in a vehicle, the method comprising:
obtaining an instruction indicating an upcoming change in an operating mode of the vehicle, the instruction specifying a set of tasks and a task duration associated with each task of the set of tasks by which the each associated task is to be completed;
determining, for the each associated task, a warning to be used to alert a driver of the vehicle to perform the each associated task, wherein the warning is created based on at least one of information related to the vehicle and information related to a surrounding of the vehicle;
generating a warning schedule comprising a set of warnings, each warning corresponding to one task of the set of tasks; and
transmitting the warning schedule so that each warning in the warning schedule is delivered to the driver of the vehicle.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the instruction specifies an order of executing the set of tasks, the order being determined based on a priority score assigned to the each associated task.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the warning includes a warning content and at least one media to be used to deliver the warning content to the driver.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining information corresponding to a current state of the driver; and
generating the warning based on the current state of the driver.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the warning is generated based on a profile of the driver, the profile including characteristic information relevant to the driver.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the warning further includes a starting time and a duration, the duration of the warning being less than the task duration, the duration of the warning being adjustable based on a current state of the driver.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein information related to the vehicle includes at least one of:
a position of the vehicle;
a model of the vehicle;
service information of the vehicle; and
a configuration of the vehicle.
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having information stored thereon for generating an alert in a vehicle, wherein the information, when read by a processor, causes the processor to perform the following:
obtaining an instruction indicating an upcoming change in an operating mode of the vehicle, the instruction specifying a set of tasks and a task duration associated with each task of the set of tasks by which the each associated task is to be completed;
determining, for the each associated task, a warning to be used to alert a driver of the vehicle to perform the each associated task, wherein the warning is created based on at least one of information related to the vehicle and information related to a surrounding of the vehicle;
generating a warning schedule comprising a set of warnings, each warning corresponding to one task of the set of tasks; and
transmitting the warning schedule so that each warning in the warning schedule is delivered to the driver of the vehicle.
9. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the instruction specifies an order of executing the set of tasks, the order being determined based on a priority score assigned to the each associated task.
10. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the warning includes a warning content and at least one media to be used to deliver the warning content to the driver.
11. The medium of claim 8 , further comprising:
obtaining information corresponding to a current state of the driver; and generating the warning based on the current state of the driver.
12. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the warning is generated based on a profile of the driver, the profile including characteristic information relevant to the driver.
13. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the warning further includes a starting time and a duration, the duration of the warning being less than the task duration, the duration of the warning being adjustable based on a current state of the driver.
14. The medium of claim 8 , wherein information related to the vehicle includes at least one of:
a position of the vehicle;
a model of the vehicle;
service information of the vehicle; and
a configuration of the vehicle.
15. A system for generating an alert in a vehicle, the system comprising:
a warning instruction analyzer implemented by a processor and configured to obtain an instruction indicating an upcoming change in an operating mode of the vehicle, the instruction specifying a set of tasks and a task duration associated with each task of the set of tasks by which the each associated task is to be completed;
a warning determiner implemented by the processor and configured to determine, for the each associated task, a warning to be used to alert a driver of the vehicle to perform the each associated task, wherein the warning is created based on at least one of information related to the vehicle and information related to a surrounding of the vehicle; and
a warning instruction generator implemented by the processor and configured to:
generate a warning schedule comprising a set of warnings, each warning corresponding to one task of the set of tasks, and
transmit the warning schedule so that each warning in the warning schedule is delivered to the driver of the vehicle.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instruction specifies an order of executing the set of tasks, the order being determined based on a priority score assigned to the each associated task.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the warning includes a warning content and at least one media to be used to deliver the warning content to the driver.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the warning determiner is further configured to obtain information corresponding to a current state of the driver, and the warning instruction generator is further configured to generate the warning based on the current state of the driver.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the warning is generated based on a profile of the driver, the profile including characteristic information relevant to the driver.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the warning further includes a starting time and a duration, the duration of the warning being less than the task duration, the duration of the warning being adjustable based on a current state of the driver.
