System and method for controlling a vehicle using secondary access methods
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a microprocessor; and
a computer readable medium, coupled with the microprocessor and comprising microprocessor readable and executable instructions that program the microprocessor to;
receive a message that a mobile device is in proximity to a vehicle;
in response to receiving the message, access information from one or more sensors on the vehicle in response to the mobile device being in proximity to the vehicle;
process the received information from the one or more sensors on the vehicle to identify one or more actions to implement on the vehicle, comprising;
determining that a specific gesture is made by a person approaching the vehicle;
determining a type of clothing worn by the person;
determining a weather condition around the vehicle; and
determining the one or more actions that correspond to at least one of the specific gesture made by the person, the type of clothing worn by the person, and the weather condition around the vehicle, wherein the one or more actions comprise at least one of unlocking a specific door of the vehicle, adjusting a seat and steering wheel of the vehicle, and adjusting a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) setting of the vehicle; and
send one or more commands to implement the one or more actions on the vehicle.

Abstract
A message is received that a mobile device is in proximity to a vehicle. For example, a cloud system may receive a message that the mobile device is in proximity to the car of a specific person. Based on the mobile device being in proximity to the vehicle, sensor information is received from one or more sensors on the vehicle. For example, an array of cameras on the vehicle may be used to detect a gesture. The received information from the one or more sensors on the vehicle is processed to identify one or more actions to implement on the vehicle. One or more commands are then sent to implement one or more actions on the vehicle. For example, the one or more commands may be to open a specific door on the vehicle and to turn on a specific heating system in the vehicle.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a microprocessor, a message that a mobile device is in proximity to a vehicle; in response to receiving the message, receiving, by the microprocessor, information from one or more sensors on the vehicle in response to the mobile device being in proximity to the vehicle; processing, by the microprocessor, the received information from the one or more sensors on the vehicle to identify one or more actions to implement on the vehicle, comprising; determining that a specific gesture is made by a person approaching the vehicle; determining a type of clothing worn by the person, determining a weather condition around the vehicle; and determining the one or more actions that correspond to at least one of the specific gesture made by the person, they type of clothing worn by the person, and the weather condition around the vehicle, wherein the one or more actions comprise at least one of unlocking a specific door of the vehicle, adjusting a seat and steering wheel of the vehicle, and adjusting a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) setting of the vehicle; and sending, by the microprocessor, one or more commands to implement the one or more actions on the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
