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 computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, by a computing system, information indicating a switch in an operating mode of a vehicle, wherein the information specifies a set of tasks to be completed by a driver of the vehicle to achieve the switch, and wherein the operating mode includes at least one of: a driver assistance mode and a manual mode;
for each of the set of tasks,
determining, by the computing system, a task duration by which the task is to be completed;
determining, by the computing system, warning content to be delivered to the driver;
determining, by the computing system, a warning duration time to deliver the warning content; and
determining, by the computing system, at least one media to be used to deliver the warning content to the driver;
generating, by the computing system, a warning schedule for warning the driver to execute the set of tasks to carry out the switch; and
performing, by the computing system, the switch in the operating mode of the vehicle based on completion of the set of tasks.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the warning content and the at least one media used to deliver the warning content to the driver are determined based on a state of the driver.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one media used to deliver the warning to the driver is determined based on a driver profile, the driver profile including characteristic information of the driver.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one media is determined based on a configuration of the vehicle.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the warning duration is less than the task duration and determined based on a state of the driver.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the warning further includes a warning intensity, the warning intensity determined based on the state of the driver.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one media includes a selectable sound source, a vibration source, a light source, a visual source, and an audio source.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having information stored thereon for presenting a warning schedule to a driver of a hybrid vehicle, when read by the machine, causes the machine to perform operations comprising:
obtaining information indicating a switch in an operating mode of a vehicle, wherein the information specifies a set of tasks to be completed by a driver of the vehicle to achieve the switch, and wherein the operating mode includes at least one of: a driver assistance mode and a manual mode;
for each task of the set of tasks,
determining a task duration by which the task is to be completed;
determining warning content to be delivered to the driver;
determining a warning duration time to deliver the warning content; and
determining at least one media to be used to deliver the warning content to the driver;
generating a warning schedule for warning the driver to execute the set of tasks to carry out the switch; and
performing the switch in the operating mode of the vehicle based on completion of the set of tasks.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the warning content and the at least one media used to deliver the warning content to the driver are determined based on a state of the driver.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the at least one media used to deliver the warning to the driver is determined based on a driver profile, the driver profile including characteristic information of the driver.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the at least one media is determined based on a configuration of the vehicle.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the warning duration is less than the task duration and determined based on a state of the driver.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the warning further includes a warning intensity, the warning intensity determined based on the state of the driver.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the at least one media includes a selectable sound source, a vibration source, a light source, a visual source, and an audio source.
15. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
obtaining information indicating a switch in an operating mode of a vehicle, wherein the information specifies a set of tasks to be completed by a driver of the vehicle to achieve the switch, and wherein the operating mode includes at least one of: a driver assistance mode and a manual mode;
for each of the set of tasks,
determining a task duration by which the task is to be completed;
determining warning content to be delivered to the driver;
determining a warning duration time to deliver the warning content; and
determining at least one media to be used to deliver the warning content to the driver;
generating a warning schedule for warning the driver to execute the set of tasks to carry out the switch; and
performing the switch in the operating mode of the vehicle based on completion of the set of tasks.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the warning content and the at least one media used to deliver the warning content to the driver are determined based on a state of the driver.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the at least one media used to deliver the warning to the driver is determined based on a driver profile, the driver profile including characteristic information of the driver.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the warning duration is less than the task duration and being determined based on a state of the driver.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the warning further includes a warning intensity, the warning intensity being determined based on the state of the driver.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one media includes a selectable sound source, a vibration source, a light source, a visual source, and an audio source.
