System and method for privacy protection of seating biometrics
First Claim
1. A system for providing privacy protection of biometric related information for an occupant in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a memory device; and
at least one controller including the memory device and being configured to;
receive first biometric information for a vehicle occupant from a plurality of biometric sensors positioned within a seat of the vehicle;
receive a first signal indicative of a first privacy setting from a plurality of privacy settings to share the first biometric information; and
transmit the first biometric information internally within the vehicle in response to the first signal,wherein the first privacy setting enables the vehicle to deploy an airbag in the vehicle in response to a vehicle collision and the first privacy setting corresponds to preventing the first biometric information from being transmitted externally from the vehicle in response to the first signal.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a system for providing privacy protection of biometric related information for an occupant in a vehicle is provided. The system includes a memory device and at least one controller. The at least one controller including the memory device and is configured to receive first biometric information for a vehicle occupant from a plurality of biometric sensors positioned within a seat of the vehicle and to receive a first signal indicative of a first privacy setting from a plurality of privacy settings to share the first biometric information. The at least one controller is further configured to transmit the first biometric information internally within the vehicle in response to the first signal and to prevent the first biometric information from being transmitted externally from the vehicle in response to the first signal.
