STORING USER GESTURES IN A USER PROFILE DATA TEMPLATE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- a processor, associated with a conveyance, importing a user profile into memory of the conveyance;
a sensor providing a signal associated with an identification of a user within the conveyance, wherein the user is associated with the user profile;
based on the signal, the processor retrieving the user profile, associated with the user, from the memory, and wherein the user is associated with the vehicle;
the sensor generating a second signal based on a received gesture from the user;
the processor receiving the second signal;
in response to the second signal, the processor referring to the user profile associated with the user for gesture information;
the processor determining that the gesture information includes at least one custom gesture, wherein the at least one custom gesture is associated with a vehicle feature function, wherein the received gesture is a custom gesture;
the processor determining whether a capability of the vehicle associated with the user includes the vehicle feature function;
mapping, in response to determining that the capability of the vehicle includes the vehicle feature function, the custom gesture with the vehicle feature function of the vehicle; and
storing the mapping of the vehicle feature function with the custom gesture as a change to the user profile as associated with the vehicle.

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.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
-
importing a user profile into memory of the conveyance; receiving, from a sensor in the conveyance, a signal associated with an identification of a user within the conveyance, wherein the user is associated with the user profile; based on the signal, retrieving the user profile, associated with the user, from the memory, and wherein the user is associated with the vehicle; receiving, from the sensor, a second signal based on a received gesture from the user; in response to the second signal, referring to the user profile associated with the user for gesture information; determining that the gesture information includes at least one custom gesture, wherein the at least one custom gesture is associated with a vehicle feature function, wherein the received gesture is a custom gesture; determining whether a capability of the vehicle associated with the user includes the vehicle feature function; and mapping, in response to determining that the capability of the vehicle includes the vehicle feature function, the custom gesture with the vehicle feature function of the vehicle; and storing the mapping of the vehicle feature function with the custom gesture as a change to the user profile as associated with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A vehicle control system, associated with a conveyance, comprising:
-
memory that stores a user profile associated with a user, wherein the user profile is imported into the memory; a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor executes; a profile identification module contained in the memory, the profile identification module; receives, from a sensor in the conveyance, a signal associated with an identification of a user within the conveyance, wherein the user is associated with the user profile; based on the signal, retrieves the user profile, associated with the user, from the memory, and wherein the user is associated with the vehicle; receives, from the sensor, a second signal based on a received gesture from the user; in response to the second signal, refers to a the user profile memory associated with a the user for gesture information; determines that the gesture information includes at least one custom gesture, wherein the at least one custom gesture is associated with a vehicle feature function, wherein the received gesture is a custom gesture; determines whether a capability of a the vehicle associated with the user includes the vehicle feature function; and maps, in response to determining that the capability of the vehicle includes the vehicle feature function, the custom gesture with the vehicle feature function of the vehicle; and stores the mapping of the vehicle feature function with the custom gesture as a change to the user profile as associated with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (20)
