First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for activation of a vehicle operational mode comprising the steps of:
- visually monitoring one or more predetermined spatial locations interior to or adjacent to a vehicle;
detecting a predetermined gesture within one of the one or more predetermined spatial locations; and
activating a predetermined vehicle operational mode in response to the predetermined gesture and a current vehicle operational mode.

Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for activation of a vehicle operational mode. The device includes one or more detectors and a controller. The one or more detectors visually monitor one or more predetermined spatial locations, each of the one or more detectors corresponding to one of the one or more predetermined spatial locations. The controller is coupled to the one or more detectors and activates a predetermined vehicle operational mode in response to a current vehicle operational mode and a predetermined gesture detected within one of the one or more predetermined spatial locations.

17. A vehicle comprising:
-
one or more detectors for visually monitoring one or more predetermined spatial locations interior to the vehicle and adjacent to an exterior of the vehicle, each of the one or more detectors corresponding to one of the one or more predetermined spatial locations; one or more operational mode actuators for activating a vehicle operational mode; and a controller coupled to the one or more detectors and the one or more operational mode actuators, wherein the controller generates an activation signal in response to a current operational mode of the vehicle and a predetermined gesture detected by one of the one or more detectors, the controller providing the activation signal to at least one of the one or more operational mode actuators, the at least one of the one or more operational mode actuators selected by the controller in response to the current operational mode, the predetermined gesture, and the one of the one or more predetermined spatial locations in which the predetermined gesture is detected. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
