Abstract
Methods and systems are presented for accepting inputs into a vehicle or other conveyance to control functions of the conveyance. A vehicle control system can receive gestures and other inputs. The vehicle control system can also obtain information about the user of the vehicle control system and information about the environment in which the conveyance is operating. Based on the input and the other information, the vehicle control system can modify or improve the performance or execution of user interface and functions of the conveyance. The changes make the user interfaces and/or functions user-friendly and intuitive.

-
15. The conveyance of claim 12, wherein the location of the user is in a first area, and wherein the location of the gesture is in a second area.
-
12. The conveyance of claim 11, wherein the gesture recognition module is further operable to:
-
16. A non-transitory computer readable medium stored on a storage medium and having instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions to receive a gesture within the conveyance; instructions to determine a location of the gesture; instructions to determine an origin of the gesture based on the location of the gesture and a location of a user providing the gesture; and based on the origin of the gesture, instructions to identify the gesture. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
