HIERARCHICAL RECOGNITION OF VEHICLE DRIVER AND SELECT ACTIVATION OF VEHICLE SETTINGS BASED ON THE RECOGNITION
First Claim
1. A process, performed by a computer processor executing computer-executable instructions stored at a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, for identifying a vehicle driver according to a pre-determined hierarchy, comprising:
- determining, in a first determination act, whether a first sub-process, of a group of multiple sub-processes, can be used to identify the vehicle driver, wherein the first sub-process is pre-determined to be a most reliable sub-process of the group for identifying the vehicle driver; and
determining, in a second determination act, only if the first determination act has a negative result, whether a second sub-process of the group can be used to identify the vehicle driver, wherein the second sub-process is pre-determined to be a second-most reliable sub-process of the group for identifying the vehicle driver.

Abstract
A process for identifying a vehicle driver according to a pre-determined hierarchy. The process includes determining, in a first determination act, whether a first sub-process, of a group of multiple sub-processes, can be used to identify the vehicle driver. The first sub-process is pre-determined to be a most reliable sub-process of the group for identifying the vehicle driver. The process also includes determining, in a second determination act, only if the first determination act has a negative result, whether a second sub-process of the group can be used to identify the vehicle driver. The second sub-process is pre-determined to be a second-most reliable sub-process of the group for identifying the vehicle driver.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage memory having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform acts, for identifying a vehicle driver, comprising:
-
determining, in a first determination act, whether a first sub-process, of a group of multiple sub-processes, can be used to identify the vehicle driver, wherein the first sub-process is pre-determined to be a most reliable sub-process of the group for identifying the vehicle driver; and determining, in a second determination act, only if the first determination act has a negative result, whether a second sub-process of the group can be used to identify the vehicle driver, wherein the second sub-process is pre-determined to be a second-most reliable sub-process of the group for identifying the vehicle driver. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system, for identifying a vehicle driver, comprising:
-
a tangible processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage memory having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising; determining, in a first determination act, whether a first sub-process, of a group of multiple sub-processes, can be used to identify the vehicle driver, wherein the first sub-process is pre-determined to be a most reliable sub-process of the group for identifying the vehicle driver; and determining, in a second determination act, only if the first determination act has a negative result, whether a second sub-process of the group can be used to identify the vehicle driver, wherein the second sub-process is pre-determined to be a second-most reliable sub-process of the group for identifying the vehicle driver. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
