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.

20. A vehicle control system, comprising:
a facial recognition module contained in a memory and executed by a processor of the vehicle control system, the facial recognition module configured to determine, in response to detecting a user of a vehicle, at least one contact having a social network connection with the user of the vehicle, retrieve, based on the determined at least one contact, image information associated with the at least one contact from an image data source, wherein the image information includes at least one identifying characteristic of the at least one contact, store the retrieved image information in a memory associated with the vehicle, detect a person other than the user via at least one image sensor associated with the vehicle, identify facial features associated with the person detected via the at least one sensor, determine whether the identified facial features associated with the person match the at least one identifying characteristic of the at least one contact in the image information, and when the identified facial features are determined to match the at least one identifying characteristic of the at least one contact, provide, an output to the user of the vehicle based on the determined match, wherein the output is configured to present an identification of the person to the user.
