The patent filed by Subaru Corp describes a vehicle system that includes an estimator and a control processor. The estimator is responsible for estimating the emotion of an occupant before boarding the vehicle, while the control processor evaluates the estimation results to determine the emotion and control the operation mode of an in-vehicle device accordingly. The system can also communicate with portable or wearable devices to gather information for emotion estimation, including social media content posted by the occupant and outside-vehicle information.
Additionally, the vehicle system includes a learning processor that analyzes the results of the control processor's evaluations, the content of the control actions taken, and the emotional changes of the occupant in response to those actions. This information is then fed back to the control processor for further refinement of the emotion-based control of the in-vehicle device. The system aims to enhance the overall driving experience by adapting the vehicle environment based on the occupant's emotions before and during the journey, ultimately improving comfort and safety.
