1. A vehicle comprising:
- a seat assembly for supporting an occupant;
a reconfigurable system mounted with respect to the seat assembly and having a plurality of selectively variable parameters; and
a controller beingoperatively connected to said reconfigurable system to control the selectively variable parameters,configured to receive data indicative of personal information of the occupant from at least one data storage medium, wherein the occupant is a specific and identified person having personal information stored within the at least one data storage medium,configured to determine values of said selectively variable parameters according to a predetermined algorithm based on the data indicative of personal information of the specific and identified person,configured to cause said selectively variable parameters of the reconfigurable system to assume the determined values;
wherein the reconfigurable system is one of the seat assembly and a seat belt system; and
wherein said at least one data storage medium contains a plurality of data sets, each of said data sets containing data indicative of the personal information of one specific and identified person.

Abstract
A vehicle includes at least one reconfigurable system having a plurality of selectively variable parameters, and a controller that is operatively connected to the at least one reconfigurable system to control the values of the plurality of selectively variable parameters. The controller is also configured to receive data indicative of physical characteristics of a person from at least one data storage medium, and configured to determine values of the selectively variable parameters according to a predetermined algorithm based on the data indicative of physical characteristics of a person. The controller is also configured to cause the selectively variable parameters to assume the determined values.

10. A method of personalizing a vehicle having a reconfigurable system characterized by selectively variable parameters, the method comprising:
-
receiving data indicating personal information of a specific and identified person from a data storage medium containing a plurality of data sets, each of said data sets containing data indicative of the personal information of one specific and identified person; determining values for said selectively variable parameters based on the data indicating personal information in accordance with a predetermined algorithm; and causing said selectively variable parameters of the reconfigurable system to assume the determined values; wherein the reconfigurable systems include one of a seat assembly and a seat belt system. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
