Abstract
Methods and systems are presented for accepting inputs into a vehicle or other conveyance to control functions of the conveyance. A vehicle control system can receive gestures and other inputs. The vehicle control system can also obtain information about the user of the vehicle control system and information about the environment in which the conveyance is operating. Based on the input and the other information, the vehicle control system can modify or improve the performance or execution of user interface and functions of the conveyance. The changes make the user interfaces and/or functions user-friendly and intuitive.

21. A method for controlling functions of a conveyance based on gesture focus, comprising:
-
a vehicle control system, including a processor, that receives and processes a gesture initiation made by a user of a vehicle within the conveyance; the vehicle control system identifying a focus of the gesture; a plurality of sensors to detect the user within the vehicle; a focus module of said processor to determine a place upon which the user desires interaction prior to the interaction by receiving data from said sensors that sense a focus derived from a focus of an eye focus and a movement of the user; the vehicle control system determining user characteristics for the user making the gesture; the vehicle control system, based on the focus and the user characteristics, configuring a setting for the conveyance; and wherein an appearance of the user interface changes based on the focus and before the gesture is completed. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A conveyance comprising:
-
a processor configured to execute one or more modules, the modules comprising; a gesture recognition module configured to receive a gesture initiation from a user within the conveyance; a focus module configured to; identify a focus of the gesture; determine user characteristics for the user making the gesture; and a function control module configured to, based on the focus and the user characteristics, configure a setting for the conveyance; a plurality of sensors to detect the user within the vehicle; and wherein the focus module determines a place upon which the user desires interaction prior to the interaction by receiving data from said sensors that sense a focus derived from a focus of an eye and a movement of the user. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32)

33. A non-transitory computer readable medium stored on a storage medium and having instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions to receive a gesture initiation within the conveyance; instructions to identify a focus of the gesture; instructions to determine user characteristics for a user making the gesture; and based on the focus and the user characteristics, instructions to configure a setting for the conveyance; instructions to receive data from a plurality of sensors to detect the user within the vehicle; instructions for a focus module of the processor to determine the focus prior to the interaction by receiving data from said sensors that sense a focus of an eye and a movement of the user, wherein the focus is a place upon which the user desires interaction; and wherein the vehicle control system determines which user interface has the focus, and wherein an appearance of the user interface changes based on the focus and before the gesture is completed. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35)
