Method and system for monitoring a passenger in a vehicle

Abstract

A method for monitoring a passenger in a vehicle. The method includes: receiving data from an observation device and/or data from a login of the passenger to a local network of the vehicle; identifying the passenger in the vehicle using the received data; assigning the passenger to a seat in the vehicle; tracking the passenger in the event of a possible change of seat to a new seat; updating the assignment of the passenger to a new seat when a change of seat to a new seat is detected; detecting inputs and/or gestures of the passenger and ascertaining whether the passenger wants to trigger or is triggering an alarm; sending relevant information about the passenger and the current seat to an external server when it is detected that the passenger wants to trigger or has triggered an alarm.
