System and method for adjusting a seat using biometric information
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting an airplane seat that includes one or more adjustable physical features, comprising:
- collecting, by a computer, biometric information relating to one or more physical characteristics of an airline passenger from the airline passenger prior to the airline passenger boarding an airplane comprising the airplane seat;
correlating comfort information to the collected biometric information of the airline passenger;
regression fitting the collected biometric information to determine a preferred setting for each of the one or more physical features of the airplane seat, wherein the preferred setting for each of the one or more physical features relates to the correlated comfort information of the airline passenger; and
adjusting the one or more physical features of the airplane seat to the preferred setting of the airline passenger.
