Abstract
A method for granting access to vehicle functionalities is provided. The method includes receiving a signal from a device that is external to the vehicle, the signal including identification data of an object associated with the device, comparing the identification data with user identifications stored in the memory of the vehicle, and granting, to the object, access to a first set of functionalities of the vehicle in response to determining that the identification data matches a first user identification of the user identifications stored in the memory of the vehicle.
Claims20
A method implemented by a computing device of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting, using a sensor operating in conjunction with the computing device of the vehicle, a gaze of a user relative to one or more input devices positioned in an interior of the vehicle;
- and
- presenting a representation of the one or more input devices on a surface of the vehicle that is adjacent to the user.
A vehicle comprising:
- a sensor and;
- and
- a computing device that is communicatively coupled to the sensor and the computing device is configured to:
- detecting, using the sensor operating in conjunction with the computing device of the vehicle, a gaze of a user relative to one or more input devices positioned in an interior of the vehicle;
- and
- presenting a representation of the one or more input devices on a surface of the vehicle that is adjacent to the user.
A vehicle comprising:
- a sensor and an image capture device positioned on an exterior portion of the vehicle;
- a computing device communicatively coupled to each of the sensor and the image capture device, the computing device is configured to:
- detect, using the sensor, a gaze of a user relative to a location that is external to the vehicle;
- capture, using the image capture device, a real-time video stream of the location that is external to the vehicle;
- generate, responsive to the gaze of the user, a representation of the location that is external to the vehicle from the real-time video stream;
- and
- present, on a surface of the vehicle that is adjacent to the user, the representation of the location that is included in the real-time video stream.
