1. A method for an in-vehicle computing system, the method comprising:
- detecting a request to perform a driver-dependent function;
inferring an identity of the driver based on current driving data/behavior relative to one or more driver profiles, each of the one or more driver profiles generated using driver-specific past driving data/behavior; and
selectively enabling performance of the driver-dependent function of the in-vehicle computing system based on the inferred driver identity.

Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for a method for an in-vehicle computing system including detecting a request to perform a driver-dependent function, and inferring an identity of the driver based on current driving data/behavior relative to one or more driver profiles, each of the one or more driver profiles generated using driver-specific past driving data/behavior. The method may further include selectively enabling performance of the driver-dependent function of the in-vehicle computing system based on the inferred driver identity.

13. An in-vehicle computing system, comprising:
-
a processor; a navigational device; an in-vehicle entertainment system; one or more vehicle sensors for estimating vehicle driving data; a communication interface communicatively coupling the in-vehicle computing system to a cloud-based network; a display device; and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to; receive a notification for presentation to a vehicle driver from the cloud-based network, the notification regarding a vehicle parameter; aggregate the vehicle driving data to determine a current driving behavior; compare the current driving behavior to one or more vehicle driver profiles retrieved from the cloud-based network to identify the vehicle driver, each of the one or more vehicle driver profiles generated using driver-specific past driving data/behavior; and adjust a timing of displaying the notification on the display device based on the identification of the vehicle driver. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. An in-vehicle computing system, comprising:
-
a processor; a communication interface communicatively coupling the in-vehicle computing system to a cloud-based network; one or more vehicle sensors; a display device; and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to; receive current driver and/or vehicle status information; weight the received driver and/or vehicle status information based on relevance to an identity of a current driver of a vehicle; determine a confidence score based on a comparison of the weighted driver and/or vehicle status information to a driver profile; identify the current driver as a driver identified by the driver profile responsive to determining that the confidence score is above a threshold. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
