SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADJUSTING ONE OR MORE VEHICLE SETTINGS
First Claim
1. A system for adjusting one or more vehicle settings, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
one or more occupant recognition sensors communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to output an occupant recognition signal indicative of an identity of one or more vehicle occupants; and
one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memory modules storing logic that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to;
recognize a first vehicle occupant of the one or more vehicle occupants based on the occupant recognition signal output by the one or more occupant recognition sensors;
determine a first vehicle zone of a vehicle in which the first vehicle occupant is present, wherein the first vehicle zone is one of a driver zone, a front passenger zone, and a rear passenger zone;
determine a priority of the first vehicle occupant; and
automatically adjust the one or more vehicle settings based on one or more occupant preference settings associated with the first vehicle occupant, the first vehicle zone, and the priority of the first vehicle occupant.

Abstract
A system for adjusting one or more vehicle settings includes one or more processors, one or more occupant recognition sensors communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to output an occupant recognition signal indicative of an identity of one or more vehicle occupants, and one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more memory modules store logic that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: recognize a first vehicle occupant of the one or more vehicle occupants, determine a first vehicle zone in which the first vehicle occupant is present, automatically adjust the one or more vehicle settings based on one or more occupant preference settings associated with the first vehicle occupant and the first vehicle zone.

-
one or more processors; one or more occupant recognition sensors communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to output an occupant recognition signal indicative of an identity of one or more vehicle occupants; and one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memory modules storing logic that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to; recognize a first vehicle occupant of the one or more vehicle occupants based on the occupant recognition signal output by the one or more occupant recognition sensors; determine a first vehicle zone of a vehicle in which the first vehicle occupant is present, wherein the first vehicle zone is one of a driver zone and a passenger zone; determine a priority of the first vehicle occupant; and automatically adjust the one or more vehicle settings based on one or more occupant preference settings associated with the first vehicle zone, the first vehicle occupant, and the priority of the first vehicle occupant wherein; when the first vehicle zone is the driver zone, the one or more vehicle settings are adjusted to a first one or more occupant preference settings associated with the first vehicle occupant and the driver zone; and when the first vehicle zone is the passenger zone, the one or more vehicle settings are adjusted to a second one or more occupant preference settings associated with the first vehicle occupant and the passenger zone, wherein the first one or more occupant preference settings are different from the second one or more occupant preference settings. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
