First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- wireless sensors included within zones of a physical space;
memory storing feature description data; and
a processor, in communication with the memory and the wireless sensors, programmed tosend, to a mobile device connected to one of the wireless sensors, a subset of the feature description data applicable to one of the zones in which the mobile device is located, wherein the feature description data includes types of features and affected zones for the features, and the affected zones for the features are specified as a (i) base location tuple specifying distances for each dimension away from a fixed origin zone, and (ii) an extent for each dimension away from the fixed origin zone,receive a request to update a feature of the one of the zones based on the feature description data, andapply the update to the feature when the mobile device has permission to update the features.

Abstract
Wireless sensors are included within zones of a physical space. A memory stores feature description data. A processor, in communication with the memory and the wireless sensors, is programmed to send, to a mobile device connected to one of the wireless sensors, a subset of the feature description data applicable to one of the zones in which the mobile device is located. The processor also is programmed to receive a request to update a feature of the one of the zones based on the feature description data, and apply the setting update when the mobile device has permission. The zones of a physical space may be seating zones of a vehicle, and the wireless sensors may be included within doors to the seating zones of the vehicle. The mobile device may determine a seating zone of the vehicle in which the mobile device is located using the wireless sensors.

7. A system comprising:
a mobile device including a wireless transceiver; and a processor programmed to determine a seating zone of a vehicle in which a user of the mobile device is located using the wireless transceiver and wireless sensors of the vehicle, receive, from a vehicle computing platform, feature description data including types of features and affected zones for the features, where the affected zones for the features are specified as a (i) base location tuple specifying distances for each dimension away from a fixed origin zone, and (ii) an extent for each dimension away from the fixed origin zone, and request the platform to adjust the features applicable to the determined seating zone per user settings. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving, from a vehicle, feature description data enumerating types of vehicle features and affected zones for the features, the affected zones for a feature being specified as a multi-dimensional tuple of distances from a fixed origin seating zone and an extent in each distance tuple dimension away from the fixed origin seating zone; and controlling by the vehicle the features per user settings stored to a mobile device specifying feature preferences. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
