Dynamic Overlay Systems for Real-Time Infotainment Personalization

Abstract As automotive infotainment systems become increasingly complex, personalization and brand differentiation have emerged as critical aspects of the user experience. Traditional static UI architectures, reliant on predefined themes and fixed UI elements, struggle to accommodate real-time dynamic adaptations based on contextual factors such as brand identity, driver preferences, location, and vehicle mode. To address this challenge, this article explores a Dynamic Overlay System, leveraging Runtime Resource Overlays (RRO) to enable adaptive UI customization at runtime while maintaining system modularity and performance. This approach structures infotainment resources into dedicated brand and display-specific overlay directories, allowing seamless adaptation across diverse screen configurations, including Freeform 32-inch, 11-inch, and 16-inch portrait displays. It enables dynamic UI adjustments without modifying core application logic, improving both maintainability and scalability. By utilizing structured Android.bp, .mk files, and overlay resource handling, the system ensures efficient integration with Android-based automotive platforms, facilitating scalable, theme-driven UI customization. The article also compares alternative industry approaches, such as static theming, dynamic overlays, and cloud-based UI updates, demonstrating how RRO-based systems offer superior flexibility and efficiency. Furthermore, we explore potential future extensions, including AI-driven UI adaptation, Over-the-Air (OTA) customization, and cloud-based theme deployment, ensuring infotainment ecosystems remain adaptable to evolving consumer demands. With a focus on technical implementation, industry best practices, and real-world usability, this article provides architecture diagrams, Android.bp/.mk configuration examples, and in-depth code breakdowns—offering practical insights for developers and engineers aiming to enhance infotainment personalization while maintaining system integrity
