SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING OCCUPANT-SPECIFIC ACOUSTIC FUNCTIONS IN A VEHICLE OF TRANSPORTATION
First Claim
1. A system, for implementation at a vehicle of transportation, comprising:
- multiple arrangements of occupant-zone-specific acoustic equipment in the vehicle, wherein;
each arrangement is positioned at a respective occupant-specific acoustic zone of the vehicle; and
each arrangement is configured to communicate with a hardware-based processing unit that, when executing code of a hardware-based storage device in operation of the system, interacts, via the arrangement, only with a vehicle occupant occupying a corresponding occupant-specific acoustic zone.

Abstract
A system, for implementation at a vehicle of transportation, having multiple arrangements of occupant-zone-specific acoustic equipment in the vehicle. Each arrangement is positioned at a respective occupant-specific acoustic zone of the vehicle. Each arrangement is configured to communicate with a hardware-based processing unit that, when executing code of a hardware-based storage device in operation of the system, interacts, via the arrangement, primarily only with a vehicle occupant occupying a corresponding occupant-specific acoustic zone. In some implementations, along with or instead of the acoustic equipment, the system includes multiple arrangements of occupant-zone-specific acoustic equipment in the vehicle. In various embodiments, based on identification of occupants at respective vehicle zones in operation of the vehicle, operations are performed, such as provision of media, vehicle-occupant conversation, and customized HVAC delivery.

16. A system, for implementation at a vehicle of transportation, comprising:
-
multiple arrangements of occupant-zone-specific heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) output equipment in the vehicle, wherein; each arrangement is positioned at a respective occupant-specific HVAC zone of the vehicle; and each arrangement is configured to communicate with a hardware-based processing unit that, when executing code of a hardware-based storage device, interacts, via the arrangement, primarily only with a vehicle occupant occupying a corresponding occupant-specific acoustic zone. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A system, for implementation at a vehicle of transportation, comprising:
-
multiple arrangements of occupant-zone-specific acoustic equipment, each arrangement being positioned, for operation of the system, at a respective occupant-specific acoustic zone of the vehicle; a processing unit; and a hardware-based storage device comprising; a database module that, by way of the processing unit in operation of the system; obtains a first occupant setting using a determined first identity of a first occupant at a first occupant-specific acoustic zone of the vehicle; and obtains a second occupant setting using a determined second identity of a second occupant occupying a second occupant-specific acoustic zone of the vehicle; and an activity module that, by way of the processing unit in operation of the system; determines, based on the first identify, a manner by which to interact with the first occupant while the first occupant is positioned in the first occupant-specific acoustic zone; and determines, based on the second identify, a manner by which to interact with the second occupant while the second occupant is positioned in the second occupant-specific acoustic zone. - View Dependent Claims (20)
