1. A method, comprising:
- determining a location inside a vehicle associated with a user;
determining at least one vehicle control associated with the location inside the vehicle;
determining a presence of the user inside the vehicle, wherein determining the presence of the user comprises detecting a device associated with the user in an area of the vehicle;
referring to a user profile memory associated with the user for vehicle control settings;
determining, based at least partially on the vehicle control settings, to adjust the at least one vehicle control associated with the location inside the vehicle; and
providing an adjustment output to a vehicle control system, wherein the adjustment output is provided based at least partially on determining the user is present in the location inside the vehicle, wherein the vehicle control system is adapted to control the at least one vehicle control associated with the location inside the vehicle.

Abstract
Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system that provides various outputs based on a user profile and determined context. An output provided by the present disclosure can change a configuration of a vehicle, device, building, and/or a system associated with the user profile. The configurations can include comfort and interface settings that can be adjusted based on the user profile information. Further, the user profiles can track health data related to the user and make adjustments to the configuration to assist the health of the user.
