First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for identifying a vehicle occupant, comprising:
- transmitting an optical signal from a plurality of contract sensors located in a vehicle towards a thoracic region of the vehicle occupant;
receiving a reflected signal from the thoracic region of the vehicle occupant as a result of the optical signal reflecting from the vehicle occupant, wherein the reflected signal is an cardiac signal that indicates a measurement of cardiac activity;
determining a biomarker based on biometric features of the cardiac signal;
identifying the vehicle occupant based on the biomarker, wherein identifying the vehicle occupant includes comparing the biomarker to a stored biomarker; and
modifying a vehicle system based on identifying the vehicle occupant.

7. A computer implemented method for identifying a vehicle occupant, comprising:
-
receiving an optical signal from one or more contactless sensors located in a vehicle, the optical signal being a cardiac signal produced from the vehicle occupant, wherein the optical signal is a reflected signal that is reflected from a thoracic region of the vehicle occupant; analyzing a cardiac signal for identifying features; identifying the vehicle occupant identity based on the identifying features, wherein the identifying the vehicle occupant identity includes comparing the identifying features to vehicle occupant identifying features that are stored in a vehicle occupant profile; and transmitting the vehicle occupant identity to a vehicle system, wherein the vehicle system is modified based on the vehicle occupant identity. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
