PERSONALIZING VEHICULAR COMFORT SETTINGS FOR A SPECIFIC USER
First Claim
1. A method for personalizing vehicular comfort settings for a specific user, the method comprising:
- in response to identifying the specific user in a vehicle, autonomously launching an adaptation application in the vehicle;
upon launching the adaptation application, automatically downloading a historical comfort setting profile for the specific user, the historical comfort setting profile including individual comfort setting records;
autonomously updating the historical comfort setting profile with a comfort setting record corresponding to each instance of an automatic climate control setting, a manual climate control setting, or an alternate climate control setting while the specific user is in the vehicle;
dynamically predicting an in-vehicle setting within respective predetermined time increments while the specific user is in the vehicle or in response to a user request, the predicted in-vehicle setting being dependent upon geographic location data points and a set of climate control related settings retrieved from the individual comfort setting records; and
causing a most recently predicted in-vehicle setting to be displayed on a vehicle display while the specific user is in the vehicle.

Abstract
An application is launched in response to identifying a specific user in the vehicle. Upon launching the application, a historical comfort setting profile is automatically downloaded for the user. The historical profile includes individual comfort setting records. The historical profile is updated with comfort setting record(s) corresponding to each instance of an automatic climate control setting, a manual climate control setting, or an alternate climate control setting while the specific user is in the vehicle. An in-vehicle setting is dynamically predicted within respective predetermined time increments while the specific user is in the vehicle or in response to a user request. The predicted in-vehicle setting is dependent upon geographic location data points and a set of climate control related settings retrieved from the individual comfort setting records. A most recently predicted in-vehicle setting is caused to be displayed on a vehicle display while the specific user is in the vehicle.

8. A vehicle comfort setting personalization method, comprising:
-
at a first time, recognizing that a specific user is in a first vehicle containing an adaptation application; monitoring climate control settings every half second while the specific user is in the first vehicle; upon recognizing, by the monitoring, an instance of an automatic climate control setting, a manual climate control setting, or an alternate climate control setting; collecting a first vehicle location data point, a time/date data point, and at least one climate control related setting associated with the first vehicle; and generating a first comfort setting record including the data points and the at least one climate control related setting; at a second time, recognizing that the specific user is in a second vehicle containing the adaptation application, the second vehicle being different from the first vehicle; monitoring climate control settings every second while the specific user is in the second vehicle; upon recognizing, by the monitoring, an other instance of an automatic climate control setting, a manual climate control setting, or an alternate climate control setting; collecting a second vehicle location data point, a time/date data point, and at least one climate control related setting associated with the second vehicle; and generating a second comfort setting record including the data points and the at least one climate control related setting; consolidating the first and second comfort setting records into a historical comfort setting profile for the specific user; and at a third time, using the historical comfort setting profile to dynamically predict an in-vehicle setting within respective predetermined time increments while the specific user is in the first vehicle, the second vehicle, or a third vehicle or in response to a request while the specific user is in the first vehicle, the second vehicle, or the third vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A vehicle comfort setting personalization system, comprising:
-
a server; and a vehicle that is remote from the server, the vehicle including; a recognition system to recognize a specific user; a display; a vehicle communications platform including a microprocessor and a memory; and an adaptation application stored on the memory and executed by the microprocessor to; autonomously launch in response to the recognition system identifying the specific user; automatically download, from the server, a historical comfort setting profile for the specific user, the historical comfort setting profile including individual comfort setting records; autonomously update the historical comfort setting profile with a comfort setting record corresponding to each instance of an automatic climate control setting, a manual climate control setting, or an alternate climate control setting while the specific user is in the vehicle; dynamically predict an in-vehicle setting within respective predetermined time increments while the specific user is in the vehicle or in response to a user request, the predicted in-vehicle setting being dependent upon geographic location data points and a set of climate control related settings retrieved from the individual comfort setting records; and cause a most recently predicted in-vehicle setting to be displayed on the display while the specific user is in the vehicle.
