Global standard template creation, storage, and modification
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- with a computer processor, retrieving a global standard vehicle template from a memory, the global standard vehicle template having information corresponding to at least one of a state and an arrangement of a feature associated with a vehicle;
with a computer processor, adjusting, based at least partially on the information in the global standard vehicle template, the at least one of the state and the arrangement of the feature associated with the vehicle;
with a computer processor, storing at least some of the information of the global standard vehicle template in a user profile memory associated with a user of the vehicle;
with a computer processor, transferring the at least some of the information of the global standard vehicle template from the user profile memory to a different vehicle;
with a computer processor, determining if the global standard vehicle template is compatible with the different vehicle and, if not, determining that conversion will be necessary;
if conversion is determined to be necessary, with a computer processor, converting the at least some of the information of the global standard vehicle template to match characteristics associated with the different vehicle, wherein the conversion includes determining a template conversion factor; and
if conversion is determined to be necessary, with a computer processor, adjusting, based at least partially on the conversion, at least one of a state and an arrangement of a feature associated with the different vehicle;
further, in cases where the template conversion factor does not allow all of the information of the global standard vehicle template to match characteristics associated with the different vehicle, receiving settings made by the user in configuring the second vehicle and storing the settings along with the converted information.

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 create, modify, and maintain profiles associated with users. The user profiles are generated based on selectively collecting data associated with the users. Although each user profile may include settings, preferences, habits, and content associated with an individual user and/or vehicle, some user profiles may represent multiple users. These user profiles can change a configuration of a vehicle to match settings for a user, such as a driver and/or passenger. The configurations may also include the recognition of a unique set of gestures for a user. Further, the user profiles can be transferred from vehicle-to-vehicle and/or user-to-user.
