Abstract

The work aims to explore the evolutionary path of intelligent cockpits from single-driver affection-responsive terminals to multi-user cross-contextual partners that co-construct long-term meaning, and propose a paradigm shift from affective computing to contextual co-creation cognition, to address the limitations of the affective computing paradigm in multi-role collaborative responses and the evolution of long-term human-machine relationships. The intelligent cockpit was treated as a holistic contextual network to address the complex contextual demands of multi-occupant, cross-context, and long-term evolution scenarios. The affective design process, simulation testing, and heuristic walkthroughs driven by contextual co-creation cognition were put into practice. This paradigm could effectively enhance contextual cognitive coordination in multi-role interactions, and strengthen dynamic collaboration and deep affective reciprocity among multiple users within the context. The affective design paradigm driven by contextual co-creation cognition provides systematic theoretical support and an actionable methodology for the deep co-creation of human-machine relationships in future intelligent cockpits.
