Vehicle Control System for Providing User-Customized Functions Based on Gesture Recognition

A system for providing user-customized functions based on gesture recognition for a conveyance, said system comprising:

• at least one motion sensor;
• a gesture recognition module;
• a memory element;
• a vehicle control system, including a processor, configured to:
• receive a gesture input from a user in a zone of the conveyance by the at least one motion sensor associated with the zone;
• provide the gesture input to the gesture recognition module to retrieve a saved user profile associated with the identified user in the identified zone based on the gesture input by the at least one motion sensor associated with the zone;
• provide at least one of the gesture input or at least a second gesture input to the gesture recognition module, wherein the inputted gesture maps to specific gestures associated with specific functions for the identified user stored in memory;
• retrieve user characteristics in the user profile by the vehicle control system that relate to the gesture-inputted function request of the user, wherein the function is at least one of a user interface configuration including one or more displays for the user, ride comfort feature, or drive safety feature;
• and
• send a control signal to any system or subsystem by the vehicle control system, changing an output of the at least one function, if the characteristics impacts the at least one function of the conveyance.
