System and method for dynamic vehicle control affecting sleep states of vehicle occupants
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for dynamic vehicle control affecting sleep states of vehicle occupants, comprising:
- connecting a wearable computing device associated with a vehicle occupant to a vehicle;
determining a state of the vehicle occupant based on physiological data received from at least one of the wearable computing device and the vehicle;
determining a target sleep state of the vehicle occupant based on at least one of the state of the vehicle occupant, the physiological data and vehicle system data;
controlling a vehicle system of the vehicle by transmitting a vehicle control command to the vehicle system based on the state of the vehicle occupant in relation to the target sleep state;
monitoring the state of the vehicle occupant including monitoring the physiological data of the vehicle occupant in response to controlling the vehicle system; and
modifying control of the vehicle system by transmitting a second vehicle control command to the vehicle system in response to the monitoring and based on the monitored state of the vehicle occupant in relation to the target sleep state.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for dynamic vehicle control affecting sleep states of vehicle occupants includes connecting a wearable computing device associated with a vehicle occupant to a vehicle, and determining a state of the vehicle occupant based on physiological data received from at least one of the wearable computing device and the vehicle. The method includes determining a target sleep state of the vehicle occupant based on at least one of the state of the vehicle occupant, the physiological data and vehicle system data, and controlling a vehicle system of the vehicle based on the state of the vehicle occupant in relation to the target sleep state. The method includes monitoring the state of the vehicle occupant including monitoring the physiological data of the vehicle occupant in response to controlling the vehicle system and controlling the vehicle system according to the monitoring in relation to the target sleep state.

10. A system for dynamic vehicle control affecting sleep states of vehicle occupants, comprising:
-
a wearable computing device associated with a vehicle occupant; a vehicle including a vehicle system, vehicle sensors and a processor, the processor operably connected for computer communication to the wearable computing device; a state determination module of the processor determines a state of the vehicle occupant based on physiological data received from at least one of the wearable computing device and the vehicle, the state determination module determines a target sleep state of the vehicle occupant based on at least one of the state of the vehicle occupant, the physiological data and vehicle system data; a vehicle control module of the processor controls the vehicle system based on the state of the vehicle occupant in relation to the target sleep state by transmitting a vehicle control command to the vehicle system; and a state monitoring module of the processor monitors the state of the vehicle occupant including monitoring the physiological data of the vehicle occupant after controlling the vehicle system, and the vehicle control module modifies control of the vehicle system by transmitting a second vehicle control command to the vehicle system based on the state of the vehicle occupant monitored after controlling the vehicle system in relation to the target sleep state. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
