BUILDING PROFILES ASSOCIATED WITH VEHICLE USERS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- at a processor associated with a vehicle, receiving a signal from at least one sensor in the vehicle;
based on the signal, identifying a user;
receiving information from and associated with the user;
determining whether at least some of the received information qualifies as user profile data; and
storing, based at least partially on determining that the at least some of the received information qualifies as user profile data, the user profile data in a profile data memory associated with the vehicle and associated with the user.

Abstract
Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system to create, modify, and maintain profiles associated with users. The user profiles are generated based on selectively collecting data associated with the users. Although each user profile may include settings, preferences, habits, and content associated with an individual user and/or vehicle, some user profiles may represent multiple users. These user profiles can change a configuration of a vehicle to match settings for a user, such as a driver and/or passenger. The configurations may also include the recognition of a unique set of gestures for a user. Further, the user profiles can be transferred from vehicle-to-vehicle and/or user-to-user.

1. A method, comprising:
-
at a processor associated with a vehicle, receiving a signal from at least one sensor in the vehicle; based on the signal, identifying a user; receiving information from and associated with the user; determining whether at least some of the received information qualifies as user profile data; and storing, based at least partially on determining that the at least some of the received information qualifies as user profile data, the user profile data in a profile data memory associated with the vehicle and associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor associated with a vehicle, perform a method comprising:
-
receiving a signal from at least one sensor in the vehicle; based on the signal, identifying a user; receiving information from and associated with the user; determining whether at least some of the received information qualifies as user profile data; and storing, based at least partially on determining that the at least some of the received information qualifies as user profile data, the user profile data in a profile data memory associated with the vehicle and associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A user profile system associated with a vehicle, comprising:
-
a sensor within the vehicle; a profile data memory associated with the vehicle; a processor associated with the vehicle and in communication with the sensor and the memory, the processor executing a profile identification module that; receives a signal from the sensor; identifies a user based on the signal from the sensor; receives information from and associated with a users; determines whether at least some of the received information qualifies as user profile data; and stores, based at least partially on determining that the at least some of the received information qualifies as user profile data, the user profile data in a profile data memory associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
