1. A method, comprising:
- separating, by a processor, a vehicle into one or more zones;
automatically determining, by the processor, a person is within a zone of the one or more zones of the vehicle;
automatically identifying, by the processor, the person within the zone of the vehicle in response to determining that a person is within the zone of the one or more zones of the vehicle;
automatically identifying, by the processor, the zone that the identified person is within;
referring, by the processor, to a data structure associated with the identified person in response to identifying the person, wherein the data structure stores at least one set of gestures for the identified person, wherein each gesture in the at least one set of gestures is associated with a control of a vehicle function, and wherein the control of the vehicle function depends on the identified zone;
determining, by the processor, whether a gesture is provided by the identified person within the identified zone, wherein the gesture is included in the at least one set of gestures; and
controlling, by the processor, when the gesture is provided by the identified person, the vehicle function based on the gesture provided and the identified zone.

8. A vehicle system, comprising:
-
one or more sensors; a vehicle control system associated with a vehicle comprising; a processor; a memory; wherein the processor; separates the vehicle into one or more zones; receives sensor data from the one or more sensors; based on the sensor data, automatically determines a person is within a zone of the one or more zones of the vehicle; based on the sensor data and determining that a person is within the vehicle, automatically identifies the person within the zone of the vehicle; based on the sensor data, automatically determines the zone that the identified person is within; refers to a data structure associated with the identified person in response to identifying the person, wherein the data structure stores at least one set of gestures for the identified person, wherein each gesture in the at least one set of gestures is associated with a control of a vehicle function, and wherein the control of the vehicle function depends on the identified zone; determines whether a gesture is provided by the identified person within the identified zone, wherein the gesture is included in the at least one set of gestures; and controls, when the gesture is provided by the identified person, the vehicle function based on the gesture provided and the identified zone. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions causing a processor to execute a method, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
-
instructions to separate a vehicle into one or more zones; instructions to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors; based on the sensor data, automatically determine a person is within a zone of the one or more zones of the vehicle; based on the sensor data and determining that a person is within the vehicle, automatically identify the person within the zone of the vehicle; based on the sensor data, automatically determine the zone that the identified person is within; instructions to refer to a data structure associated with the identified person in response to identifying the person, wherein the data structure is configured to store at least one set of gestures for the identified person, wherein each gesture in the at least one set of gestures is associated with a control of a vehicle function, and wherein the control of the vehicle function depends on the identified zone; instructions to determine whether a gesture is provided by the identified person within the identified zone, wherein the gesture is included in the at least one set of gestures; and instruction to control, when the gesture is provided by the identified person, the vehicle function based on the gesture provided and the identified zone. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
