Abstract
A method for assigning a driver of a vehicle to a driver class stored in the vehicle and representing a specific driving behavior of the driver after a driving pause includes identifying the driver based on an acquisition of data indicating an occupancy of only one seat of the vehicle before and after the driving pause, and/or based on an acquisition, before and after the driving pause, of a recognition code of a technological device assigned to the driver, and, based on the identification, using the driver class assigned to the identified driver.

11. A method for using, after a driving pause, a driver class that is stored in a vehicle in association with a driver of the vehicle and that represents a specific driving behavior of the driver, the method comprising:
-
obtaining, by processing circuitry, data including at least one of (i) information indicating an occupancy of only one seat of the vehicle, the obtaining of the information occurring both before and after the driving pause and (ii) a recognition code of a technological device assigned to the driver, the obtaining of the recognition code occurring both before and after the driving pause; based on the obtained data, determining, by the processing circuitry, that a driver change has not occurred during the driving pause; based on the determination, identifying, by the processing circuitry, that the driver, in association with whom the driver class is stored, is driving the vehicle after the driving pause; based on the identification, selecting, by the processing circuitry, the driver class; and generating, by the processing circuitry, a driver customized output based on the selected driver class. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

21. A device of a vehicle, the device comprising:
-
a data store in which a driver class is stored in association with a driver of the vehicle, the driver class representing a specific driving behavior of the driver; and processing circuitry with access to the data store, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to; obtain data including at least one of (i) information indicating an occupancy of only one seat of the vehicle, the information being obtained both before and after a driving pause and (ii) a recognition code of a technological device assigned to the driver, the recognition code being obtained both before and after the driving pause; based on the obtained data, determine that a driver change has not occurred during the driving pause; based on the determination, identify that the driver, in association with whom the driver class is stored, is driving the vehicle after the driving pause; based on the identification, select the driver class; and generate a driver customized output based on the selected driver class.

22. A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions that are executable by a processor and that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method for using, after a driving pause, a driver class that is stored in a vehicle in association with a driver of the vehicle and that represents a specific driving behavior of the driver, the method comprising:
-
obtaining data including at least one of (i) information indicating an occupancy of only one seat of the vehicle, the obtaining of the information occurring both before and after the driving pause and (ii) a recognition code of a technological device assigned to the driver, the obtaining of the recognition code occurring both before and after the driving pause; based on the obtained data, determining that a driver change has not occurred during the driving pause; based on the determination, identifying that the driver, in association with whom the driver class is stored, is driving the vehicle after the driving pause; based on the identification, selecting the driver class; and generating a driver customized output based on the selected driver class.
