  • MULTI-MODAL KEYLESS MULTI-SEAT IN-CAR PERSONALIZATION
    Publication number: 20210094492
    Abstract: In-car personalization methods/systems for applying personalized settings to car functionality and for allowing multiple passengers in a car to apply personalized settings to their individual location in the care and according to stored preferences. The methods/systems provide multi-user profile selections using one or more of: (1) key-less multi-user profile selection; (2) biometric multi-user profile selection; and/or a combination of multi-modal technologies for {key-less, biometric} multi-user profile selection. The disclosed methods/systems combine multiple available sensors to solve the complementary tasks of: (1) detecting the presence of a person, (2) performing a coarse classification of the occupants (e.g., driver vs passenger; child vs adolescent/adult), (3) seat-based localization of detected occupants, and (4) identification of a specific user.
