View Patent ↗One embodiment provides a method, including: obtaining, using a sensor, biometric data of a user; determining, using a processor, that the biometric data of the user does not match biometric data of a known user; and adjusting, based on the biometric data of the user, a vehicle setting. Other aspects are described and claimed.
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining, using a sensor, biometric data of a user, wherein the biometric data is associated with a series of user interactions performed in a predetermined order, wherein each interaction in the series is performed on a unique mechanical component resident in a vehicle cabin;
determining, using a processor, that the series of user interactions does not match the predetermined order; and
adjusting, based on the determining, a vehicle setting.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle setting is selected from the group consisting of a vehicle access setting, a vehicle electronic device access setting, a vehicle electronic device application level access setting, a vehicle power setting, a vehicle compartment setting, a vehicle range setting, and a vehicle speed setting.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting comprises changing the vehicle setting to restrict access.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting comprises changing the vehicle setting to restrict functionality.
5. The method of claim 1 , comprising obtaining registration biometric data of the known user.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the obtaining registration biometric data of the known user comprises receiving the registration biometric data of the known user from a remote device.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the receiving comprises receiving the registration biometric data of the known user over a short range wireless connection.
8. The method of claim 1 , comprising implementing a vehicle owner profile for the known user comprising a plurality of preferred vehicle settings.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting comprises changing one or more of the plurality of preferred vehicle settings.
10. The method of claim 1 , comprising initiating a communication to the known user in response to the determining that the biometric data of the user does not match biometric data of a known user.
11. A device, comprising:
a biometric sensor;
a processor operatively coupled to the biometric sensor; and
a memory that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
obtain, using the biometric sensor, biometric data of a user, wherein the biometric data is associated with a series of user interactions performed in a predetermined order, wherein each interaction in the series is performed on a unique mechanical component resident in a vehicle cabin;
determine that the series of user interactions does not match the predetermined order; and
adjust, based on the determining, a vehicle setting.
12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the vehicle setting is selected from the group consisting of a vehicle access setting, a vehicle electronic device access setting, a vehicle electronic device application level access setting, a vehicle power setting, a vehicle compartment setting, a vehicle range setting, and a vehicle speed setting.
13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor executes instructions to adjust the vehicle setting by changing the vehicle setting to restrict access.
14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor executes instructions to adjust the vehicle setting by changing the vehicle setting to restrict functionality.
15. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor executes instructions to obtain registration biometric data of the known user.
16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the processor executes instructions to obtain registration biometric data of the known user by receiving the registration biometric data of the known user from a remote device.
17. The device of claim 16 , further comprising a short range wireless device, wherein the registration biometric data of the known user is received using the short range wireless device.
18. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor executes instructions to implement a vehicle owner profile for the known user comprising a plurality of preferred vehicle settings.
19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the processor executes instructions to adjust the vehicle setting by changing one or more of the plurality of preferred vehicle settings.
20. A vehicle, comprising:
a plurality of components comprising wheels, a motor, and one or more seats disposed in a vehicle compartment;
a biometric sensor; and
an electronic device, comprising:
a processor operatively coupled to the biometric sensor; and
a memory that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
obtain, using the biometric sensor, biometric data of a user, wherein the biometric data is associated with a series of user interactions performed in a predetermined order, wherein each interaction in the series is performed on a unique mechanical component resident in a vehicle cabin;
determine that the series of user interactions does not match the predetermined order; and
adjust, based on the biometric data of the user, a vehicle setting.
21. The vehicle of claim 20 , wherein the processor adjusts a vehicle setting to disable the motor in response to determining that the biometric data of the user does not match biometric data of the known user.
