1. A method, comprising:
- automatically identifying, by one or more processors of a vehicle control system of a vehicle, a person;
determining, by the one or more processors of the vehicle control system of the vehicle, which one of two or more zones within the vehicle is occupied by the identified person;
determining, by the one or more processors of the vehicle control system, if there is a gesture to be stored for the identified person;
receiving a gesture made upon a receiving surface of an input device, wherein the received gesture configures the vehicle;
associating the received gesture with the identified person and with the determined zone occupied by the person, wherein the received gesture, if associated with a first zone of the two or more zones, has a first vehicle response and a same gesture, if associated with a second zone of the two or more zones, has a second vehicle response, and wherein the first and second vehicle responses are different; and
storing, by the one or more processors of the vehicle control system, the received gesture in a user record associated with the identified person.

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 to recognize the drivers and/or passengers within the automobile. Based on the recognition, the vehicle may change a configuration of the automobile to match predetermined preferences for the driver and/or passenger. The configurations may also include the recognition of a unique set of gestures for the person. Further, the configuration can also include the tracking of health data related to the person.

1. A method, comprising:
-
automatically identifying, by one or more processors of a vehicle control system of a vehicle, a person; determining, by the one or more processors of the vehicle control system of the vehicle, which one of two or more zones within the vehicle is occupied by the identified person; determining, by the one or more processors of the vehicle control system, if there is a gesture to be stored for the identified person; receiving a gesture made upon a receiving surface of an input device, wherein the received gesture configures the vehicle; associating the received gesture with the identified person and with the determined zone occupied by the person, wherein the received gesture, if associated with a first zone of the two or more zones, has a first vehicle response and a same gesture, if associated with a second zone of the two or more zones, has a second vehicle response, and wherein the first and second vehicle responses are different; and storing, by the one or more processors of the vehicle control system, the received gesture in a user record associated with the identified person. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 15)

8. A vehicle system of a vehicle, comprising:
-
one or more sensors; a vehicle control system comprising; one or more processors; a memory; wherein the one or more processors are configured to; receive sensor data from the one or more sensors; automatically identify a person; determine which one of two or more zones within the vehicle is occupied by the identified person; determine if the identified person has made a gesture to be stored; receive the gesture, wherein the gesture is made upon a receiving surface of an input device and the gesture automatically configures the vehicle; associate the received gesture with the identified person and with the determined zone occupied by the person, wherein the received gesture, if associated with a first zone of the two or more zones, has a first vehicle response and a same gesture, if associated with a second zone of the two or more zones, has a second vehicle response, and wherein the first and second vehicle responses are different; and store the received gesture in a user record associated with the identified person. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17)

13. A method, comprising:
-
receiving sensor data from one or more sensors; based on the sensor data, automatically identifying a person; based on the sensor data, automatically determining which one of two or more zones within a vehicle is occupied by the identified person; retrieving two or more gestures associated with the determined zone and with the identified person, wherein a retrieved gesture, if associated with a first zone of the two or more zones, has a first vehicle response and a same gesture, if associated with a second zone of the two or more zones, has a second vehicle response, and wherein the first and second vehicle responses are different; receiving a gesture made upon a receiving surface of an input device, wherein the received gesture automatically configures the vehicle; comparing the received gesture to the two or more retrieved gestures associated with the determined zone and with the identified person; and based on the comparison, automatically configuring the vehicle according to the received gesture. - View Dependent Claims (18)
