System and method for controlling electronic stability control based on driver status
First Claim
1. A system for controlling an operation of stabilizing a movement of a vehicle based on driver status, the system comprising:
- a primary key adapted to be associated to a primary driver;
a secondary key adapted to be associated to a secondary driver;
a key ignition device positioned on each of the primary key and the secondary key, the key ignition device being configured to generate a driver status signal indicative of whether a driver is one of the primary driver and the secondary driver;
a controller operably coupled to the key ignition device and adapted to;
determine whether the driver of the vehicle is the one of primary driver and the secondary driver based on the driver status signal;
stabilize the movement of the vehicle during moments in which the vehicle loses control; and
selectively control the operation of stabilizing the movement of the vehicle based on whether the driver of the vehicle is the one of the primary driver and the secondary driver.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling the operation of stabilizing the movement of a vehicle between primary and secondary drivers is provided. A primary key is adapted to be associated to the primary driver. A secondary key is adapted to be associated to the secondary driver. A key ignition device is positioned on the primary and secondary keys and is configured to generate driver status signals indicative of whether the driver is a primary or secondary driver. The controller is adapted to determine whether the driver of the vehicle is the primary driver or the secondary driver based on the driver status signals. The controller is further adapted to stabilize the movement of the vehicle. The controller is further adapted to selectively control the operation of stabilizing the movement of the vehicle in response to the driver status signals.

11. A method for controlling an operation of stabilizing a movement of a vehicle based on driver status, the method comprising:
-
tagging a primary key to a primary driver; tagging a secondary key to a secondary driver; generating a driver status signal indicative of whether a driver is one of the primary driver and the secondary driver with a key ignition device positioned on one of the primary key and the secondary key; determining whether the driver of the vehicle is the one of the primary driver and the secondary driver based on the driver status signal; stabilizing the movement of the vehicle during moments in which the vehicle loses control; and selectively controlling the operation of stabilizing the movement of the vehicle based on whether the driver of the vehicle is the one of the primary driver and the secondary driver. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for controlling an operation of stabilizing a movement of a vehicle based on driver status, the system comprising:
-
a first controller adapted to associate a primary key having a first key ignition device to a primary driver and to associate a secondary key having a second key ignition device to a secondary driver, wherein the first controller is configured to generate a driver status signal indicative of whether a driver is one of the primary driver and the secondary driver based on information received from one of the first key ignition device and the second key ignition device; a second controller operably coupled to the first controller and adapted to; determine whether the driver of the vehicle is the one of the primary driver and the secondary driver based on the driver status signal; stabilize the movement of the vehicle in moments in which the vehicle loses control; and selectively control the operation of stabilizing the movement of the vehicle based on whether the driver of the vehicle is the one of the primary driver and the secondary driver. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
