Patent Images
1. A device of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a receiver to receive a movement signal generated by a person-side movement sensor system and transmitted to the receiver from the person-side movement sensor system, the movement signal relating to movement of a person located inside or in a vicinity of the motor vehicle;
a movement detection apparatus to identify the movement based on the movement signal received by the receiver and to convert the movement signal into person-specific movement information to determine a person-specific movement information item;
a memory to store entries assigning person-specific movement information items with settings, each entry having a corresponding operating parameter setting for a corresponding vehicle system; and
a controller to make the corresponding operator parameter setting for the person-specific movement information item determined by the movement-detection apparatus by comparing the person-specific movement information item determined by the movement-detection apparatus with the entries stored in the memory,whereinthe device comprising the receiver, movement detection apparatus, memory, and controller is integrally coupled to the motor vehicle,the person-side movement sensor system is externally disposed with respect to the device,when a plurality of people are located inside or in the vicinity of the motor vehicle, the receiver is configured to receive movement signals respectively from the plurality of people,a role relating location with respect to the motor vehicle, is assigned to each person among the plurality of people, andthe settings are assigned to person-specific movement information items taking into account the role assigned to each person among the plurality of people.

Abstract
A device sets at least one operating parameter of at least one vehicle system of a motor vehicle. The device has at least one movement detection apparatus for determining the movement of at least one person located inside or in the vicinity of the motor vehicle, which movement detection apparatus is designed to determine at least one person-specific movement information item using at least one person-specific movement signal which is supplied by a person-side movement sensor system and relates to the movement of the person. The device is designed to set the at least one operating parameter of the at least one vehicle system using the person-specific movement information item. The device also has a memory in which certain settings of an operating parameter of a vehicle system are assigned to certain person-specific movement information items.

18. A method for setting an operating parameter of a vehicle system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving, by a receiver, a movement signal which relates to a movement of a person located inside or in a vicinity of the motor vehicle, the movement signal being received from a person-side movement sensor system which generates the movement signal and transmits the movement signal to the receiver; identifying, by a controller, the movement based on the movement signal received by the receiver and converting the movement signal into person-specific movement information to determine a person-specific movement information item; matching, by the controller, the person-specific movement information item with a corresponding operating parameter setting for a corresponding vehicle system; and making, by the controller, the operator parameter setting corresponding to the person-specific movement information item by comparing the person-specific movement information item with entries assigning person-specific movement information items with settings, wherein the receiver and controller are included in a device integrally coupled to the motor vehicle, the person-side movement sensor system is externally disposed with respect to the device, and when a plurality of people are located inside or in the vicinity of the motor vehicle; receiving movement signals respectively from the plurality of people, assigning a role relating location with respect to the motor vehicle to each person among the plurality of people, and the matching the person-specific movement information item with the corresponding operating parameter setting for the corresponding vehicle system takes into account the role assigned to each person among the plurality of people.
