Receiving the following parameters by a receiver: a) kinetosis parameters representing the degree of kinetosis of a vehicle occupant; and b) vehicle parameters and / or environmental parameters. 2.

Description

The invention relates to a method for creating or adapting a kinetic profile of a vehicle occupant and a system for creating or adapting a kinetic profile of a vehicle occupant.

Methods are already known from the prior art, which are used to avoid kinetosis during a car ride. From the DE 101 56 219 C1 a method is known in which the passenger images are shown as a function of driving-specific movement data while driving and thus the visual impression of the observed images is correlated with the currently subjectively perceived position and movement values.

From the DE 10 2015 011 708 A1 A method is known in which manual inputs of an occupant (health parameter) are correlated with vehicle parameters and route parameters to determine a discomfort threshold with respect to kinetic disturbances. To counteract the occurrence of kinetosis-related disorders, the vehicle is then air-conditioned, scented and / or a seat massage function is activated.

In the DE 10 2010 045 307 A1 describes a method for detecting the kinetosis risk in shipping passengers. In addition to location data, physical parameters such as wind speed, air pressure etc. and ship parameters such as ship length, ship width, etc., are offset against each other.

The methods known from the prior art detect the risk of kinetosebedingter interference in a passenger and recommend or initiate countermeasures to prevent the occurrence of kinetosis in the passenger. However, these procedures do not take account of the fact that once a specific risk can change and accordingly, other countermeasures are necessary. Furthermore, the known methods are used only for the vehicle or ship itself and are not used as qualification possibilities for the vehicle or the route traveled.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a method for creating or adapting a kinetic profile of a vehicle occupant and a system for creating or adapting a kinetic profile of a vehicle occupant which at least partially overcomes the disadvantages of the method known in the prior art.

The object is solved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims. It should be noted that additional features of a claim dependent on an independent claim without the features of the independent claim or only in combination with a subset of the features of the independent claim may form an independent invention independent of the combination of all features of the independent claim, the subject of an independent claim, a divisional application or a subsequent application. This applies equally to technical teachings described in the specification, which may form an independent invention of the features of the independent claims.

The term "kinetosis" is understood to mean the so-called motion sickness, that is to say a disease which arises due to the influence of movements on the human body. Usually, the motion sickness is also referred to as motion sickness and usually referred to after the emergence of the movement as seasickness, airborne disease or space sickness. The kinetosis is caused by movement and in particular by repeated acceleration processes with changing acceleration values and directions of acceleration.

The control device or one or more of the individual components of the control device, namely the receiver, the diagnostic unit and / or the output unit, may be a device in the vehicle, e.g. around the on-board computer of the vehicle, act. Additionally or alternatively, it may be an external device, e.g. a stationary device (PC) and / or a mobile terminal act.

The term "terminal" for which the kinetosis profile is provided, is understood in the present document to mean a device which is connected to a network connection of a public or private data or telecommunication network. The grid connection can be made via an electrical and / or optical connection or via a radio link. Examples of such a terminal include a workstation, a notebook / laptop and a mobile terminal. Providing the kinetic profile for such a terminal could be accomplished, for example, by using the kinetic profile in an online CarSharing or online Auotmiet platform. For example, the online CarSharing or online Auotmiet platform could make recommendations for specific vehicles based on their personal kinetic profile.

A mobile terminal is a device capable of operating in a mobile network via Local Area Networks (LANs), such as Local Area Networks (LANs). Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), or over Wide Area Networks (WANs) such as Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), High Speed Downlink / Uplink Packet Access (HSDPA, HSUPA), Long- Term Evolution (LTE), or World Wide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX) to communicate wirelessly. Communication via other common or future communication technologies is possible. The term mobile terminal includes in particular smart phones, but also other mobile phones or mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet PCs and all current and future electronic devices that are equipped with a technology for loading and running apps. The mobile terminal may be connected via a suitable communication interface, e.g. a Bluetooth interface to be paired with the vehicle. Alternatively, the app can be linked to the mobile terminal by means of a suitable authentication method via a server to the vehicle. All current and future authentication methods such as knowledge (eg user name and password, PIN, security question, etc.), possession (eg SIM card, certificate, smart card), biometrics (eg fingerprint, face recognition) as well as any combination of the individual authentication methods are used as authentication into consideration.

A kinetosis profile is understood as meaning a personal profile of a vehicle occupant which links the occurrence of kinetosis-related disturbances to certain external influences, such as the inclination or lateral acceleration of the vehicle, the route profile or the chassis behavior of the vehicle.

According to the method according to the invention for creating or adapting a kinetic profile of a vehicle occupant, a kinetic profile is created or adapted to the respective vehicle occupant in an iterative process by quantitatively and / or qualitatively assessing the susceptibility of the vehicle occupant with regard to the occurrence of kinetosis on the basis of specific situations and their effects , The personalized kinetic profile of the vehicle occupant thus created or adapted is then available for various functions inside and outside the vehicle.

A diagnostic unit links various parameters relating to specific situations and their effects with regard to the susceptibility of the vehicle occupant with regard to the occurrence of kinetosis in an iterative process.

Kinetic parameters representing the degree of kinetosis of a vehicle occupant may include health parameters such as level of attention, heart rate, pulse rate, skin resistance, respiratory rate and / or skin coloration, particularly paleness. A health parameter can be determined, for example, by evaluating image data acquired by means of an image acquisition unit (for example, interior monitoring, for example by means of a camera and / or eye tracking). The acquired image data may also be used to determine operating activity and an operating time of an infotainment system and / or gaze deflections, viewing frequencies and viewing durations relative to a roadway To determine conclusions on the degree of attention of the vehicle occupant. Alternatively, a health parameter may be determined via a sensor unit attached to the vehicle occupant. Such a sensor unit may include, for example, a fitness bracelet, a breast heart rate sensor, a fitness wristwatch, or a fitness app on a smartphone connected to corresponding measurement devices. Furthermore, a kinetosis parameter can take place via a manual input of the vehicle occupant, wherein the input determines the susceptibility to kinetosis. Another possibility for detecting a health parameter is the evaluation of acceleration and rotational angular velocity data of the vehicle occupant's head in order to draw conclusions about the well-being of the vehicle occupant. However, since these measurements on a vehicle occupant head are very cumbersome to determine, existing sensor data of the vehicle is used to calculate the vehicle occupant head resulting forces. The sensor data include the following vehicle parameters: longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, stroke acceleration, angular velocities. Furthermore, model parameters are included in the calculation. Such model parameters include, for example, inertial quantities of the body model, ie the behavior as a pendulum about the roll and pitch axes.

The term vehicle parameters covers all parameters which relate to the individual components and functions of the vehicle. These include, for example, the vehicle speed or the vehicle speed course, the suspension setting, the sitting position of the vehicle occupant, the interior conditioning (eg temperature, interior ventilation, etc.), the vehicle tilt, the vehicle longitudinal acceleration, the vehicle lateral acceleration, the vehicle yaw rate, the vehicle Damping, Vehicle Hub Acceleration, Vehicle Angular Velocity, and Vehicle Chassis Properties. A vehicle parameter comprises one or more of the aforementioned properties. The vehicle characteristics may be controlled by control devices and / or sensors, e.g. the engine control unit or the chassis control can be determined.

The term environmental parameter includes route-related parameters, such as the occurrence of curves, peaks and / or traffic lights, the Fahrbenheitbenheit or road bumps and / or weather parameters. These parameters can be determined, for example, from navigation or map data of a navigation system.

An iterative linking of the parameters means a repeating process in which parameters and / or their linking are updated again and again according to a specific time pattern.

For example, such an iterative linking may be a learning process in which the kinetic profile is adjusted and thereby improved by conscious training. Such a learning process may, for example, proceed as follows: The vehicle is driven on a kinetose-uncritical stretch of road, for example a straight stretch without curves, while maintaining certain kinetose-inducing vehicle parameters that result in low comfort for the vehicle occupant. These vehicle parameters may include, for example, a high longitudinal and lateral acceleration and low suspension damping. By observing these parameters, kinetosis symptoms can be caused to the vehicle occupant. The kinetic symptoms are detected, for example, by monitoring the interior using a camera, eye-tracking, etc. The recorded kinetic symptoms as well as the recorded vehicle parameters are stored and processed in a control unit. Subsequently, the same kinetose-uncritical route section is driven in compliance with certain kinetosis-avoiding vehicle parameters, which result in a high level of comfort for the vehicle occupant. The kinetosis-avoiding vehicle parameters may include, for example, a low longitudinal and lateral acceleration, higher suspension damping and increased ventilation. By adhering to these parameters, the vehicle occupant can experience a decline in the kinetic symptoms that have occurred, which can be detected, for example, by an interior monitor. The recorded vehicle parameters, which led to the decay of the kinetosis symptoms, are also stored and processed in the control unit together with the weaker or decayed kinetosis symptoms. In this case, data regarding the decay, for example, how long the decay has lasted and on which kinetosehemmenden measures was used, stored in the control unit and processed. The section of the route will be used alternately, observing the kinetosis-inducing vehicle parameters as well as the kinetosis-avoiding vehicle parameters. This process is repeated as a loop several times, with all data or parameters stored and processed in the controller. The controller may be located in a vehicle, in a mobile terminal (e.g., smartphone) or other device (e.g., server-accessible computer).

By evaluating the recorded kinetic symptoms and the recorded vehicle parameters, a comprehensive, personalized kinetic profile for the respective vehicle occupants to be created. The kinetic profile can be stored in a database (eg server, "back-end", etc.) that can be accessed or locally (eg in the vehicle, on a storage medium, on a mobile device, etc.). By creating or adjusting the kinetosis profile, not only the person-specific causes of kinetosis are known, but also which countermeasures are the most effective and efficient in the affected person.

The kinetic profile thus created or adapted is subsequently made available for a terminal and / or a method which is carried out, for example, on the terminal.

1. a) Das Endgerät ist ein Fahrzeug, wobei das Kinetoseprofil durch ein Steuergerät des Fahrzeugs verwendet wird. Wenn das Kinetoseprofil durch das Steuergerät des Fahrzeugs verwendet wird, können die Fahrzeugparameter (wie beispielsweise die Beschleunigung, die Klimatisierung, die Darstellung/Projizierung von Bildern/Videos, die Endgeschwindigkeit, die Beduftung, die Sitzneigung, etc.) und/oder die Navigationsdaten (zum Beispiel Routenwahl) individuell auf den jeweiligen Fahrzeuginsassen, insbesondere auf den Fahrer, eingestellt werden und dadurch das Risiko kinetosebedingter Störungen des Fahrzeuginsassen gesenkt werden. Von Vorteil ist die Anwendung des Kinetoseprofils in einem Mietfahrzeug, Leasing-Fahrzeug, Carsharing-Fahrzeug, Taxi-Fahrzeug etc. Ein Anwendungsbeispiel hierfür könnte folgendermaßen aussehen: Bei der Bestellung eines Miet-/Leasing-/Carsharing-/Taxi-Fahrzeugs gibt der Fahrzeuginsassen, insbesondere der Fahrer, sein Fahrtziel an. Durch einen Abgleich des individuellen Kinetoseprofils des Fahrzeuginsassen mit dem geplanten Streckenverlauf sowie die fahrzeugspezifischen Eigenschaften des Miet-/Leasing-/Carsharing-/Taxi-Fahrzeugs sollen dem Fahrzeuginsassen verschiedene Fahrzeugtypen auf Basis ihrer Tauglichkeit für die geplante Fahrt vorgeschlagen werden. Wurde das entsprechende Fahrzeug durch den Fahrzeuginsassen ausgewählt, kann das gewählte Fahrzeug bereits während der Fahrt zum Abholort, dem Kinetoseprofil des Fahrzeuginsassen entsprechend, im Hinblick auf bestimmte Fahrzeugparameter, wie beispielsweise Innenraumtemperatur, Innenraumgeruch, Fahrwerkseinstellungen, Sitzposition etc., vorkonditioniert werden. Die aus dem personalisierten Kinetoseprofil bekannten Daten lassen sich beispielsweise auch beim Fahrzeugkauf einbeziehen. Möchte sich ein Kunde mit einem bereits erstellten Kinetoseprofil ein eigenes Fahrzeug anschaffen, so können dem Kunden Vorschläge unterbreitet werden, welches Fahrzeug aus fahrdynamischer Sicht oder aufgrund anderer Eigenschaften und/oder Ausstattungen am besten zu ihm passt. Ein weiteres Anwendungsbeispiel könnte die Verwendung der Kinetoseprofile aller Fahrzeuginsassen für die Entscheidung des Fahrers, wie er das Fahrzeug lenkt, sein. Dadurch erhält der Fahrer ein messbares Ergebnis bezüglich des Kinetosezustandes der anderen Insassen, durch welches er seinen Fahrstil und seine Routenwahl beeinflussen kann.
2. b) Das Endgerät ist ein Navigationsgerät, wobei das Kinetoseprofil für die Routenauswahl in dem Navigationsgerät verwendet wird. Durch die dem Kinetoseprofil des Fahrzeuginsassen entsprechende Routenauswahl kann dem Fahrzeuginsassen eine beschwerdefreie Fahrt bzw. eine Fahrt mit verminderten Kinetoserisiko ermöglicht werden. Ein Anwendungsbeispiel könnte folgendermaßen aussehen: Bei der Routenplanung werden die üblicherweise angebotenen Routenoptionen bezüglich der Länge, Effizienz oder Kürze der Strecke um eine kinetose-unkritische und/oder eine kinetosekritische Routenoption erweitert. Alternativ können die üblicherweise angebotenen Routenoptionen um eine weitere Kategorie, nämlich der „Kinetosewahrscheinlichkeit“, erweitert werden. Jede mögliche Route wird dabei entsprechend ihrer Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Auftreten von Kinetose, beispielsweise durch einen Kinetoseindex, bewertet. Durch Abgleich dieses Kinetoseindexes mit dem individuellen Kinetoseprofil des Fahrzeuginsassen können die Routenvorschläge individuell für den jeweiligen Fahrzeuginsassen gestaltet werden. Die finale Entscheidung, welche Route gefahren werden soll, liegt dann beim Fahrzeuginsassen selbst. Jede Entscheidung wird im Kinetoseprofil des Fahrzeuginsassen hinterlegt, sodass zukünftige Vorschläge auf den jeweiligen Fahrzeuginsassen optimiert werden können. Darüber hinaus können dem Fahrzeuginsassen (insbesondere dem Fahrer) Vorschläge für Tank-/Ladestopps aufgrund seines persönlichen Kinetoseprofils unterbreitet werden. Weiterhin kann während der Fahrt, z.B. immer dann wenn sich Streckenabschnitte ändern (von kinetose-kritisch nach kinetoseunkritisch oder umgekehrt), ein Feedback vom Fahrzeuginsassen erfragt werden, wie er den vorherigen Abschnitt empfunden hat. Dieses Feedback fließt dann wiederum in die Kinetosebeurteilung der Route mit ein und das Kinetoseprofil des Fahrzeuginsassen wird entsprechend geändert.
3. c) Das Endgerät ist ein mobiles Endgerät, wobei das Kinetoseprofil für eine Anwendung auf dem mobilen Endgerät verwendet wird. Die Anwendung könnte beispielsweise eine Mitfahrgelegenheit-/Taxi-App sein, die eine Plattform für Fahrer und andere Insassen (Mitfahrende) darstellt. Wenn Mitfahrende durch ihr Feedback, ob bei einem bestimmten Fahrer während der Fahrt aufgrund des Fahrstils bzw. der Routenwahl des Fahrers Kinetose aufgetreten ist, den Fahrer beurteilen, kann diese Information für zukünftige Mitfahrer genutzt werden. Weiterhin können Fahrer und Mitfahrende das Fahrzeug (z.B. Mietfahrzeug bzw. Carsharing) hinsichtlich der Kinetoseneigung des Fahrzeugs und/oder der eingestellten Fahrzeugparameter bewerten und diese Information in der App speichern. Zukünftige Mitfahrer können dann bereits im Buchungsprozess Hinweise bekommen, ob ihr Reisevorhaben bei dem entsprechenden Fahrer und/oder Fahrzeug zu Kinetose führen könnte. Alternativ könnte der Fahrer oder auch ein Fahrzeug im automatisierten Fahrmodus den Fahrstil, die Streckenwahl und/oder die Einstellung der Fahrzeugparameter an das individuelle Kinetoseprofil des Fahrzeuginsassen/der Fahrzeuginsassen anpassen. Eine weitere Anwendungsmöglichkeit für die Zurverfügungstellung des Kinetoseprofils für ein Endgerät ist Zurverfügungstellung des Kinetoseprofils für Karten- bzw. Navigationssystem. Durch die Auswertung einer Mehrzahl an Kinetoseprofilen von verschiedenen Fahrzeuginsassen lassen sich intelligente, lernende Karten erstellen. So können Streckenabschnitte gekennzeichnet werden, die für die Mehrheit der Fahrzeuginsassen zu Kinetose geführt bzw. das Kinetoserisiko gesteigert haben.

According to one embodiment, the terminal is at least one of the following:

1. a) The terminal is a vehicle, wherein the kinetic profile is used by a control unit of the vehicle. When the kinetic profile is used by the vehicle's control unit, the vehicle parameters (such as acceleration, air conditioning, image / video presentation / projection, end speed, scenting, seat tilt, etc.) and / or navigation data (eg. for example, route selection) individually to the respective vehicle occupants, in particular to the driver, and thereby the risk of kinetosebedingter disturbances of the vehicle occupant can be lowered. An advantage is the application of Kinetoseprofils in a rental vehicle, leasing vehicle, car sharing vehicle, taxi vehicle, etc. An example of this could look like this: When ordering a rental / lease / car sharing / taxi vehicle gives the vehicle occupants , especially the driver, his destination. By matching the individual Kinetoseprofils of the vehicle occupant with the planned route and the vehicle-specific characteristics of the rental / lease / car sharing / taxi vehicle to the vehicle occupants different vehicle types are proposed based on their suitability for the planned trip. If the corresponding vehicle has been selected by the vehicle occupant, the selected vehicle can already be preconditioned while driving to the pickup location, corresponding to the vehicle occupant's kinetic profile, with regard to certain vehicle parameters, such as interior temperature, interior odor, suspension settings, seating position, etc. The data known from the personalized Kinetoseprofil can be included, for example, when buying a vehicle. If a customer wants to purchase his own vehicle with an already created kinetic profile, the customer can be given suggestions as to which vehicle suits him best from a driving dynamics point of view or due to other characteristics and / or features. Another application example could be the use of the kinetic profiles of all vehicle occupants for the driver's decision as to how to steer the vehicle. This gives the driver a measurable result regarding the kinetic condition of the other occupants, through which he can influence his driving style and route choice.
2. b) The terminal is a navigation device, wherein the Kinetoseprofil is used for route selection in the navigation device. The route selection corresponding to the kinetic profile of the vehicle occupant allows the vehicle occupant to have a complaint-free ride or a trip with a reduced risk of kinetosis. An application example could be as follows: In route planning, the route options usually offered with regard to the length, efficiency or shortness of the route are extended by a kinetose-uncritical and / or a kinetosis-critical route option. Alternatively, the commonly offered route options can be extended by another category, namely the "kinetosis probability". Each possible route is evaluated according to its probability for the occurrence of kinetosis, for example by a kinetosis index. By matching this kinetosis index with the individual kinetosis profile of the vehicle occupant, the route suggestions can be designed individually for the respective vehicle occupant. The final decision as to which route should be taken lies then with the vehicle occupant himself. Each decision is stored in the kinetic profile of the vehicle occupant so that future suggestions can be optimized for the respective vehicle occupant. In addition, the vehicle occupants (in particular the driver) suggestions for refueling / charging stops can be submitted based on his personal Kinetoseprofils. Furthermore, during the journey, for example, whenever sections change (from kinetose-critical to kinetoseunkritisch or vice versa), feedback from the vehicle occupant can be asked as he has felt the previous section. This feedback then in turn flows into the kinetosis assessment of the route and the kinetic profile of the vehicle occupant is changed accordingly.
3. c) The terminal is a mobile terminal, wherein the kinetic profile is used for an application on the mobile terminal. The application could be, for example, a ride / taxi app that provides a platform for drivers and other occupants (passengers). If riders assess the rider's feedback on whether or not a particular rider has encountered the driver while driving due to driver's driving style or driver's choice of route, this information can be used by future riders. Furthermore, drivers and passengers can evaluate the vehicle (eg rental car or car sharing) with regard to the kinetics slope of the vehicle and / or the set vehicle parameters and store this information in the app. Future passengers can then get hints in the booking process as to whether their travel plans could lead to kinetosis for the corresponding driver and / or vehicle. Alternatively, the driver or else a vehicle in the automated driving mode could adapt the driving style, the route selection and / or the setting of the vehicle parameters to the individual kinetic profile of the vehicle occupant (s). Another application for the provision of the Kinetoseprofils for a terminal is to provide the Kinetoseprofils for map or navigation system. By evaluating a large number of kinetic profiles of different vehicle occupants, intelligent, learning maps can be created. For example, it is possible to mark sections of the route that have led to kinetosis or increased the risk of kinetics for the majority of vehicle occupants.

According to another embodiment, the kinetic profile is provided during an automated driving mode. This reduces the risk that the vehicle occupants of a vehicle may have to suffer from kinetic disorders during an automated driving mode.

The term "automated driving mode" in the context of the document can be understood as driving with automated longitudinal or transverse guidance or autonomous driving with automated longitudinal and transverse guidance. The term "automated driving mode" or "automated driving" includes automated driving with any degree of automation. Exemplary levels of automation are assisted, semi-automated, highly automated or fully automated driving. These degrees of automation were defined by the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) (see BASt publication "Forschung kompakt", issue 11/2012). In assisted driving, the driver performs the longitudinal or transverse guidance permanently, while the system assumes the other function within certain limits. In Partial Automated Driving (TAF), the system performs longitudinal and lateral guidance for a period of time and / or in specific situations, with the driver having to permanently monitor the system as in assisted driving. In highly automated driving (HAF), the system takes over the longitudinal and transverse guidance for a certain period of time, without the driver having to permanently monitor the system; However, the driver must be able to take over the vehicle guidance in a certain time. In fully automated driving (VAF), the system can automatically handle driving in all situations for a specific application; no driver is required for this application. The above four degrees of automation according to the definition of BASt correspond to SAE levels 1 to 4 of the Norm SAE J3016 (SAE - Society of Automotive Engineering). For example, the highly automated driving (HAF) according to the BASt corresponds to the level 3 of Norm SAE J3016 , Furthermore, the SAE level 5 is provided in SAE J3016 as the highest degree of automation, which is not included in the definition of BASt. SAE level 5 is driverless driving, which allows the system to automatically handle all situations like a human driver throughout the journey; a driver is generally no longer required.

According to a further embodiment, the method is carried out on a mobile terminal. The method is executed, for example, in an application (app) of the mobile terminal. For the definition of a mobile terminal, reference is made to the above statements.

The above statements on the method according to the invention according to the first aspect of the invention also apply correspondingly to the system according to the invention according to the second aspect of the invention; advantageous embodiments of the system according to the invention corresponding described advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention. At this point, not explicitly described advantageous embodiments of the system according to the invention correspond to the described advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention.

According to one embodiment, a vehicle is equipped with a system described above for creating or adapting a kinetic profile of a vehicle occupant.

This in 1 illustrated system 1 is described by way of example as part of a vehicle. According to the invention, the system is not necessarily part of a vehicle. However, the system may be associated with or in communication with a vehicle.

The system 1 for the creation or adaptation of a kinetic profile of a vehicle occupant comprises a control unit 2 , The control unit 2 has a receiving unit 3 on. The receiving unit 3 receives parameters P and forwards these to a diagnostic unit 4 further. One of these parameters P is a kinetic parameter. The kinetosis parameter is determined via a sensor unit and provides information about the degree of severity of the vehicle occupant's kinetosis. For this purpose, the sensor unit has an interior camera system which evaluates the state of health of the vehicle occupant by analyzing facial features or facial features and / or changes in the face of the vehicle occupant. Another parameter P is a vehicle parameter that describes the current speed and acceleration (in both the lateral and longitudinal directions) of the vehicle, as well as the seat tilt and climate and scent settings. In the diagnostic unit 4 The kinetic parameters and the vehicle parameters are linked together to form a kinetic profile KP to create the vehicle occupant, which includes the state of health with regard to kinetosebedingter disturbances of the vehicle occupant depending on the vehicle characteristics or vehicle settings. In an iterative process, the kinetosis profile becomes KP continuously adapted to changes that affect the health of the vehicle occupant or the vehicle characteristics / vehicle settings of the vehicle. The system 1 For the creation or adaptation of a kinetic profile of a vehicle occupant thus represents a learning system, which is further developed by changing situations and thus increases the comfort of the vehicle occupants. An output unit 5 finally provides the kinetic profile KP for a terminal. On this device, the kinetosis profile KP used. This can be, for example, a mobile terminal (smartphone) on which the kinetic profile KP used within an app.
