Vehicle use and performance restrictions based on detected users
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a non-transitory memory; and
one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising;
detecting that a first computing device is within a threshold distance of a vehicle using short range wireless communications with the first computing device;
in response to detecting that the first computing device is within the threshold distance of the vehicle, determining whether one or more vehicle use restrictions are associated with the first computing device;
in response to determining that the one or more vehicle use restrictions are associated with the first computing device, applying the one or more vehicle use restrictions to an onboard computing device of the vehicle;
detecting a use of the onboard computing device of the vehicle during operation of the vehicle;
in response to determining that a second computing device associated with the vehicle is outside of the threshold distance for the short range wireless communications, communicating a notification of the use to the second computing device over a network connection with the second computing device;
receiving a change to the one or more vehicle use restrictions from the second computing device over the network connection during the operation of the vehicle; and
applying, by the system, the change on the one or more vehicle use restrictions with the onboard computing device during the operation of the vehicle.

Abstract
There are provided systems and methods for vehicle use and performance restrictions based on detected users. A user may check-in to a vehicle so that the vehicle identifies the user, such as through providing identification to the vehicle using biometrics, logins, or other information. Using the identification, the vehicle may determine parameters and restrictions on use of the vehicle by the user. Parameters may include information about the user, such as age, health, or other statistic stored with the identification for the user, and may be utilized to determine restrictions on use of the vehicle by the user, such as a speed of the vehicle and passengers allowed in the vehicle. Restrictions may also be set for the user, including speeds of travel, routes of travel, and usage of media players in the vehicle. The usage of the vehicle may be monitored and enforced using the restrictions.

8. A method comprising:
-
detecting that a first computing device is within a threshold distance of a vehicle using short range wireless communications with the first computing device; in response to detecting that the first computing device is within the threshold distance of the vehicle, determining whether one or more vehicle use restrictions are associated with the first computing device; applying the one or more vehicle use restrictions to an onboard computing device of the vehicle; in response to detecting a usage of the onboard computing device during operation of the vehicle, determining one or more characteristics of a user of the first computing device utilizing the vehicle; in response to determining that a second computing device associated with the vehicle is outside of the threshold distance for the short range wireless communications, communicating the one or more characteristics to the second computing device over a network connection with the second computing device; receiving a modification of the one or more vehicle use restrictions over the network connection during the operation of the vehicle; and adjusting the one or more vehicle use restrictions with the onboard computing device based on the modification. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 20)

14. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having store thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
-
detecting that a user is attempting to utilize a vehicle; detecting that a first computing device is within a threshold distance of a vehicle using short range wireless communications with the first computing device in response to detecting that the user is attempting to utilize the vehicle and the first computing device is within the threshold distance, determining whether one or more vehicle use restrictions are associated with an onboard computing device of the vehicle; applying the one or more vehicle use restrictions to the onboard computing device; in response to detecting a use of the onboard computing device, determining that a second computing device associated with an owner of the vehicle is outside of the threshold distance for the short range wireless communications; determining a new authorization or a new restriction on the use of the vehicle based on a communication from the second computing device; and adjusting the one or more vehicle use restrictions with the onboard computing device based on the new authorization or the new restriction. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
