Abstract
The disclosure relates to adjusting a vehicle setting to a user. A corresponding method can comprise receiving, by a system comprising a processor, first data comprising a representation of the user, receiving, by the system, second data indicative of a location of a key element for a vehicle relative to the vehicle, identifying, by the system, the representation of the user in the first data by mapping the second data on the first data, and triggering, by the system, adjustment of the vehicle setting based on the representation of the user.
Claims20
A method for adjusting a vehicle setting to a user, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a system comprising a processor, first data comprising a representation of the user in an environment outside of a vehicle;
- receiving, by the system, second data indicative of a location of a key element for a vehicle relative to the vehicle;
- identifying, by the system, the representation of the user in the first data by mapping the second data on the first data, wherein identifying the representation of the user in the first data comprises estimating at least one detection angle associated with the representation of the user based on the second data and a relative position between a first sensor associated with the first data and a second sensor associated with the second data;
- and
- triggering, by the system, adjustment of the vehicle setting based on the representation of the user.
A vehicle setting adjustment system, comprising:
- at least one first sensor configured for providing first data comprising a representation of a user in an environment outside of a vehicle;
- at least one second sensor configured for providing second data indicative of a location of a key element for the vehicle;
- an actuator unit configured for adjusting a vehicle setting;
- and
- a data processing apparatus,
- wherein the data processing apparatus is communicatively connected to the at least one first sensor, the at least one second sensor, and the actuator unit,
- wherein the data processing apparatus receives the first data comprising the representation of the user,
- wherein the data processing apparatus receives the second data indicative of the location of the key element for the vehicle relative to the vehicle,
- wherein the data processing apparatus identifies the representation of the user in the first data by mapping the second data on the first data, wherein identifying the representation of the user in the first data comprises estimating at least one detection angle associated with the representation of the user based on the second data and a relative position between a first sensor of the at least one first sensor associated with the first data and a second sensor of the at least one second sensor associated with the second data, and
- wherein the data processing apparatus triggers adjustment of the vehicle setting based on the representation of the user.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving first data comprising a representation of a user in an environment outside of a vehicle;
- receiving second data indicative of a location of a key element for the vehicle relative to the vehicle;
- identifying the representation of the user in the first data by mapping the second data on the first data, wherein identifying the representation of the user in the first data comprises estimating at least one detection angle associated with the representation of the user based on the second data and a relative position between a first sensor associated with the first data and a second sensor associated with the second data;
- and
- triggering adjustment of a vehicle setting based on the representation of the user.
