Abstract

A system establishes a communication link with a vehicle control system to monitor real-time inputs from physical vehicle controls. When a change in a vehicle setting is detected, the system captures adjustment data including the setting identifier, value, and timestamp. The system presents a real-time display of these adjustments with selectable management options through a user interface. Based on user selections, the system generates a settings profile incorporating the captured adjustment data and stores the profile in a database.

Claims (76)

1 . A system for capturing vehicle customization settings, comprising: a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:

establish a communication link with a vehicle control system;

monitor, in real-time, vehicle setting inputs received through physical controls of the vehicle;

detect changes in vehicle settings initiated through the physical controls;

capture, in response to detecting the changes, vehicle setting adjustment data comprising:

an identifier of an adjusted vehicle setting;

a value of the adjusted vehicle setting; and

a timestamp of the adjustment;

generate, via a user interface, a real-time display of the detected changes comprising:

a visual indication of each adjusted vehicle setting;

current values of the adjusted vehicle settings; and

selectable options for managing the adjusted vehicle settings;

receive, via the user interface, a user input selecting a management option for the adjusted vehicle settings;

generate, based on the user input, a settings profile incorporating the captured vehicle setting adjustment data; and

store the settings profile in a profile database.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to: determine a user identity based on at least one of: a key fob identifier; a paired mobile device; a driver profile selection; or a seat position sensor; and associate the captured vehicle setting adjustment data with the determined user identity.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the detected changes comprises:

generating a graphical user interface including: a real-time animation reflecting physical changes in the vehicle; numerical values of adjusted settings;

textual descriptions of adjusted settings; and

interactive controls for fine-tuning the adjusted settings.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

detect a trigger event comprising at least one of: a rapid sequence of multiple setting adjustments; a predefined combination of setting adjustments; a settings adjustment exceeding a threshold value; or a duration of continuous adjustment exceeding a time threshold; and

in response to detecting the trigger event, automatically display the user interface with enhanced setting management options.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

categorize captured setting adjustments into: comfort settings, safety settings, performance settings, or convenience settings;

assign priority levels to each category; and

apply category-specific management rules when storing the settings profile.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

receive an input indicating completion of a settings adjustment session;

generate a session summary comprising:

a list of all adjusted settings;

before and after values for each adjustment;

estimated impact on vehicle performance; and

suggested related settings for adjustment;

display the session summary via the user interface.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

detect and record the physical interface used for each vehicle setting adjustment, including at least one of a button, knob, switch, or touchscreen, and associate the physical interface with the captured adjustment data.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

timestamp each detected vehicle setting adjustment with timing information.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

provide, via the user interface, options for the user to save, discard, or further modify the captured vehicle setting adjustments before generating the settings profile.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

synchronize the generated settings profile with a cloud-based profile database.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

filter sensitive or security-related data from the captured vehicle setting adjustment data prior to storing the settings profile in the profile database.

12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

automatically suggest recommended settings profiles to the user based on analysis of recent adjustment patterns.

13 . A method for capturing vehicle customization settings, comprising:

establishing a communication link between a customization interface and a vehicle control system;

monitoring, in real time, vehicle setting inputs received through physical controls of the vehicle;

detecting changes in vehicle settings initiated through the physical controls;

capturing, in response to detecting the changes, vehicle setting adjustment data comprising an identifier of an adjusted vehicle setting, a value of the adjusted vehicle setting, and a timestamp of the adjustment;

generating, via a user interface, a real-time display of the detected changes, the display comprising a visual indication of each adjusted vehicle setting, current values of the adjusted vehicle settings, and selectable options for managing the adjusted vehicle settings;

receiving, via the user interface, a user input selecting a management option for the adjusted vehicle settings;

generating, based on the user input, a settings profile incorporating the captured vehicle setting adjustment data; and

storing the settings profile in a profile database.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

determining a user identity based on at least one of a key fob identifier, a paired mobile device, a driver profile selection, or a seat position sensor; and

associating the captured vehicle setting adjustment data with the determined user identity.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein generating the real-time display of the detected changes comprises:

generating a graphical user interface including at least one of a real-time animation reflecting physical changes in the vehicle, numerical values of adjusted settings, textual descriptions of adjusted settings, or interactive controls for fine-tuning the adjusted settings.

16 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

detecting a trigger event comprising at least one of a rapid sequence of multiple setting adjustments, a predefined combination of setting adjustments, a settings adjustment exceeding a threshold value, or a duration of continuous adjustment exceeding a time threshold; and

in response to detecting the trigger event, automatically displaying the user interface with enhanced setting management options.

17 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

categorizing captured setting adjustments into at least one of comfort settings, safety settings, performance settings, or convenience settings;

assigning priority levels to each category; and

applying category-specific management rules when storing the settings profile.

18 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving an input indicating completion of a settings adjustment session;

generating a session summary comprising a list of all adjusted settings, before and after values for each adjustment, estimated impact on vehicle performance, and suggested related settings for adjustment; and

displaying the session summary via the user interface.

19 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

detecting and recording a physical interface used for each vehicle setting adjustment, including at least one of a button, knob, switch, or touchscreen, and associating the physical interface with the captured adjustment data.

20 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

timestamping each detected vehicle setting adjustment with timing information.
