Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include detecting at least one physical characteristic, the at least one physical characteristic comprising at least one of a physical characteristic of a user of the automobile and a physical characteristic of an item of the user's person. The method may also include determining at least one user-configurable environment setting for each of one or more components of the automobile based on the at least one physical characteristic detected. The method may further include applying the at least one user-configurable environment setting associated with each particular component of the one or more components.
Claims13
An automobile comprising:
- one or more sensors each configured to detect a physical characteristic of at least one of a user of the automobile and an item of the user's person;
- one or more components each having at least one user-configurable environment setting;
- a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors and the one or more components and configured to:
- receive identifying information from each of the one or more sensors indicative of the at least one physical characteristic of the user;
- based on the received identifying information, determining the at least one user-configurable environment setting for each of the one or more components;
- and
- for each particular component of the one or more components, communicate information indicative of the at least one user-configurable environment setting associated with the particular component to the particular component.
A method comprising:
- detecting at least one physical characteristic, the at least one physical characteristic comprising at least one of a physical characteristic of a user of the automobile and a physical characteristic of an item of the user's person;
- based on the at least one physical characteristic detected, determining at least one user-configurable environment setting for each of one or more components of the automobile;
- and
- applying the at least one user-configurable environment setting associated with each particular component of the one or more components.
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- a computer readable medium;
- and
- computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to:
- receive identifying information from each of one or more sensors of an automobile indicative of at least one physical characteristic of a user of the automobile;
- based on the received identifying information, determining the at least one user-configurable environment setting for each of one or more components of the automobile;
- and
- for each particular component of the one or more components, communicate information indicative of the at least one user-configurable environment setting associated with the particular component to the particular component.
