System and method for adapting a control function based on a user profile
The vehicle control system/method for adapting a control function based on a user profile may comprise: a gesture recognition module; a user profile module; a function control module; a processor; a non-transitory storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to: identify a user; retrieve a user profile for the identified user; receive at a gesture recognition module, an input indicating a gesture from the user; identify a control function request corresponding to the gesture input; send a verification of the control function request; and receive at a function control module characteristics parsed from the user profile that effect the control function request by the user profile module to adapt a control function command for an adapted control function output by the function control module.
1. A system, comprising:
memory including machine-readable instructions; and
one or more processors configured, in response to executing the machine-readable instructions, to perform operations comprising:
determining a gesture of a user located within a cabin of a vehicle;
generating a control signal based on the gesture, the control signal causing a preview of a modification of a function or setting of a vehicle subsystem to the user for a predetermined duration; and
in response to receiving neither a confirmation indication nor a cancelation indication associated with the modification from the user during the predetermined duration, maintaining the modification of the function or setting after expiration of the predetermined duration.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined duration is five seconds or less.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations performed by the one or more processors further comprise generating a notification indicating that the predetermined duration has expired.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the gesture is a movement of a hand of the user performed in three-dimensional space within a gesture capture area located within the cabin, and not performed on a touch sensitive device of the vehicle.
5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising one or more sensors located within the cabin of the vehicle, the one or more sensors configured to capture data associated with the movement of the hand of the user within the gesture capture area, wherein the operations performed by the one or more processors further comprise determining the gesture based on the captured data.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more sensors include at least one of an optical sensor or an infrared sensor.
7. The system of claim 4 , further comprising one or more image sensors located within the cabin of the vehicle, the one or more image sensors configured to capture images of the movement of the hand of the user within the gesture capture area, wherein the operations performed by the one or more processors further comprise determining the gesture based on the captured images.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the operations performed by the one or more processors further comprise:
constructing combined image data based on the captured images;
generating, based on the combined image data, depth data associated with the movement of the hand of the user; and
determining the gesture based on the depth data.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations performed by the one or more processors further comprise:
determining a configuration of a hand of the user;
determining a vector of movement of the hand; and
determining the gesture by comparing the configuration and the vector with gesture characteristics stored in a database.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle subsystem is an infotainment system of the vehicle.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle subsystem is a climate control system of the vehicle.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle subsystem is a lighting control system of the vehicle.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of neither the confirmation indication nor the cancelation indication from the user during the predetermined duration indicates that the user acquiesces to the modification of the function or setting.
14. A method, comprising:
determining, via one or more processors, a gesture of a user located within a cabin of a vehicle;
generating a control signal based on the gesture, the control signal causing a preview of a modification of a function or setting of a vehicle subsystem to the user for a predetermined duration; and
in response to receiving neither a confirmation indication nor a cancelation indication associated with the modification from the user during the predetermined duration, maintaining the modification of the function or setting after expiration of the predetermined duration.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising generating a notification indicating that the predetermined duration has expired.
16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the gesture is a movement of a hand of the user performed in three-dimensional space within a gesture capture area located within the cabin, and not performed on a touch sensitive device of the vehicle.
17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
capturing, via one or more sensors located within the cabin of the vehicle, data associated with the movement of the hand of the user within the gesture capture area; and
determining, via the one or more processors, the gesture based on the captured data.
18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
capturing, via one or more image sensors located within the cabin of the vehicle, images of the movement of the hand of the user within the gesture capture area; and
determining, via the one or more processors, the gesture based on the captured images.
19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the receiving of neither the confirmation indication nor the cancelation indication from the user during the predetermined duration indicates that the user acquiesces to the modification of the function or setting.
20. A system, comprising:
memory including machine-readable instructions; and
one or more processors configured, in response to executing the machine-readable instructions, to perform operations comprising:
determining a gesture of a user located within a cabin of a vehicle;
generating a control signal based on the gesture, the control signal causing a preview of a modification of a function or setting of a vehicle subsystem to the user for a predetermined duration of five seconds or less;
in response to receiving neither a confirmation indication nor a cancelation indication associated with the modification from the user during the predetermined duration, determining that the user acquiesces to the modification of the function or setting; and
in response to determining that the user acquiesces to the modification of the function or setting, maintaining the modification of the function or setting after expiration of the predetermined duration.
