  • Patent number: 10486590
    Abstract: A method for vehicle control includes receiving data associated with one or more wearable computing devices. Each of the one or more wearable computing devices are associated with one or more vehicle occupants in the vehicle. The method includes determining a health state of each of the one or more vehicle occupants based on the data and determining a location relative to the vehicle of each of the one or more vehicle occupants based on the data. The method includes controlling one or more vehicle systems based on the health state of each of the one or more vehicle occupants and the location relative to the vehicle of each of the one or more vehicle occupants.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10046618
    Abstract: A method for vehicle control integrating environmental conditions including receiving a current physiological parameter from a wearable device associated with a vehicle occupant, and upon receiving the current physiological parameter, determining a current position of the vehicle from a position determination device, wherein the current the current physiological parameter correlates with the current position of the vehicle. The method including determining a physiological overload level including querying a geodatabase with the current physiological parameter and the current position of the vehicle and controlling one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle based on the physiological overload level.

  • Patent number: 9944228
    Abstract: A method for vehicle control includes receiving physiological data from one or more wearable computing devices, where each of the one or more wearable computing devices is associated with one or more vehicle occupants in the vehicle, and determining a health state of the one or more vehicle occupants based on the physiological data. The health state describing a current condition of each of the one or more vehicle occupants. The method includes determining a priority level for the health state of each of the one or more vehicle occupants. Further, the method includes controlling one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle based on the health state of each of the one or more vehicle occupants and according to the priority level of the health state of each of the one or more vehicle occupants.

  • Patent number: 9463805
    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.

  • Patent number: 9399430
    Abstract: A method for vehicle control includes connecting one or more wearable computing devices, each associated with one or more vehicle occupants, to a vehicle and receiving physiological data associated with the one or more vehicle occupants. The method includes detecting a trigger event based on at least one of the physiological data and vehicle data and determining a health state of each of the one or more vehicle occupants based on the physiological data, the health state describing a current condition of each of the one or more vehicle occupants. The method includes determining a priority level for the health state of each of the one or more vehicle occupants, and controlling one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle to provide an indication of the health state according to the priority level and a location of each of the one or more vehicle occupants.
