BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM CONNECTED VEHICLE
A biometric identification system connected vehicle, such as a car, truck, van, all-terrain vehicle, plane, helicopter, motorcycle, bus, and so on, is connected to a biometric identification system. A biometric is obtained from a person. For example, a biometric reader, such as a camera, may capture an image of the person's face or a portion thereof. The person is identified based on the obtained biometric and/or one or more digital representations or abstractions thereof. The vehicle is then configured for the person based on the identification. Configuration may include allowing the person to operate the vehicle, adjusting one or more vehicle components for the person, and so on.
1 . A connected vehicle biometric identification system, comprising:
a biometric reader that obtains a biometric;
a vehicle, including a component, that:
receives an identity of a person determined using the biometric; and
configures the component using the identity.
2 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 1 , wherein configuration of the component allows the person to operate the vehicle.
3 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 1 , wherein configuration of the component unlocks the vehicle.
4 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 1 , wherein configuration of the component:
determines permissions for the person; and
allows operation of the vehicle based on the permissions.
5 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 4 , wherein determining the permissions includes determining whether the person has a valid license to operate the vehicle.
6 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 4 , wherein determining the permissions includes determining whether the person has an insurance policy that covers operation of the vehicle.
7 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 4 , wherein determining the permissions includes determining whether the person has a rental agreement relating to the vehicle.
8 . A connected vehicle biometric identification system, comprising:
at least one non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and
at least one processor that executes the instructions to:
determine an identity for a person using a digital representation of a biometric; and
configure a component of a vehicle using the identity.
9 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor monitors facial distress during operation of the vehicle.
10 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor performs an action based on the facial distress.
11 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor determines a sleepiness level of an operator.
12 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor provides an alert based on the sleepiness level.
13 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor:
receives a request for service via the vehicle; and
processes the request using the identity.
14 . The connected vehicle biometric identification system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor:
determines the person is not enrolled for biometric identification; and
enrolls the person.
15 . A biometric identification system connected vehicle, comprising:
a component;
at least one non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and
at least one processor that executes the instructions to:
receive an identity of a person determined using a digital representation of a biometric; and
configures the component using the identity.
16 . The biometric identification system connected vehicle of claim 15 , wherein:
the component comprises a seat of the biometric identification system connected vehicle; and
configuration of the component comprises changing a position of the seat.
17 . The biometric identification system connected vehicle of claim 15 , wherein:
the component comprises a climate control system of the biometric identification system connected vehicle; and
configuration of the component comprises changing a setting of the climate control system.
18 . The biometric identification system connected vehicle of claim 15 , wherein:
the component comprises an entertainment system of the biometric identification system connected vehicle; and
configuration of the component comprises altering a setting of the entertainment system of the biometric identification system connected vehicle.
19 . The biometric identification system connected vehicle of claim 18 , wherein altering the setting of the entertainment system includes programming a set of radio stations.
20 . The biometric identification system connected vehicle of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor configures the component by disabling operation of the biometric identification system connected vehicle if the person is unauthorized to operate the biometric identification system connected vehicle.
