System and method of utilizing driving profiles via a mobile device
A method of configuring operating parameters with a vehicle is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a signal identifying one or more vehicle operating parameters and associating the signal with a mobile device. The method comprises identifying a profile package based on the identification of the one or more vehicle operating parameters, wherein the profile package comprises at least the one or more vehicle operating parameters. The method comprises receiving a signal associating the mobile device with a head unit and transmitting the profile package to one or more controllers, wherein the profile package configures one or more controllers to one or more vehicle operating parameters, wherein the controllers govern the behavior of one or more vehicle components. The method further comprises activating the specific set of one or more vehicle operating parameters of the profile package in response to detecting that the mobile device is disposed at a predetermined position.

6. A method of configuring operating parameters with a vehicle, comprising:
detecting, by a head unit, one or more environmental parameters; receiving a signal, by a server, from the head unit, identifying the one or more environmental parameters and the time the head unit detected the one or more environmental parameters;
associating, by the server, the one or more environmental parameters with a mobile device by identifying that the mobile device was in a predetermined position at the time the head unit detected the one or more environmental parameters;
identifying a profile package based on the identification of the one or more environmental parameters, wherein the profile package comprises one or more vehicle operating parameters comprising the one or more environmental parameters;
receiving a signal, by the server, associating the mobile device with the head unit;
displaying the identified profile package based on the identification of the one or more environmental parameters;
transmitting the profile package associated with the mobile device via the head unit to one or more controllers based on a selection from displaying of the profile package, wherein the profile package configures one or more controllers to a specific set of one or more vehicle operating parameters, and wherein the one or more controllers govern the behavior of one or more vehicle components; and
activating the specific set of one or more vehicle operating parameters of the profile package in response to detecting that the mobile device is disposed at the predetermined position.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined position is within a predetermined distance from the head unit.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined position is one or more specific locations relative to the head unit.
9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising deactivating the specific set of one or more vehicle operating parameters of the profile package in response to detecting that the mobile device is no longer located at the predetermined position.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more environment parameters comprise parameters associated with specific internal components of the vehicle, parameters reflecting how the vehicle is operated, settings within the vehicle, setting within the vehicle cabin, and external conditions surrounding the vehicle.
11. The method of claim 6 , further comprising associating, by the server, the one or more parameters with a mobile device and a particular geographic location by identifying that the mobile device was in a predetermined position at the time the head unit detected the one or more parameters and by detecting that the head unit was in a particular geographic location at the time the head unit detected the one or more parameters.
12. A method of implementing vehicle operating parameters, comprising:
associating, by a server, a head unit with a mobile device;
identifying one or more vehicle operating parameters in response to associating the head unit with the mobile device, wherein the one or more vehicle operating parameters are identified by a server;
identifying a profile package based on the identification of the one or more vehicle operating parameters, wherein the profile package comprises the one or more vehicle operating parameters;
transmitting the profile package associated with the mobile device via the head unit to one or more controllers, wherein the profile package configures one or more controllers to a specific set of one or more vehicle operating parameters, and wherein the one or more controllers govern the behavior of one or more vehicle components;
activating the specific set of one or more vehicle operating parameters of the profile package in response to detecting that the mobile device is disposed at one or more predetermined position; and
deactivating the specific set of one or more vehicle operating parameters of the profile package in response to detecting that the mobile device is no longer located at the one or more predetermined position.
