Vehicle operations based on biometric fingerprint analysis
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for enacting various driving profiles based on identifying the age and gender of the user. Initially, identifying information is acquired from a user of a vehicle. An identification program determines whether the driver is known, by comparing the identifying information to a set of stored identifying information. If the driver of the vehicle is known, as the identifying information from the user is similar to stored identifying information, then a specific driver profile associated with the specific driver is activated. If the driver is not known, as the identifying information from the user of the vehicle is not similar to the stored identifying information, then the age and gender of the user of the vehicle is determined. Based on the determined age and gender of the driver of the vehicle, various vehicle setting ranges are enacted.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, identifying information from a user of a vehicle, wherein the identifying information comprises biometric data;
determining, by one or more processors, whether the received identifying information from the user of the vehicle is similar to a set of stored identifying information;
in response to determining the identifying information from the user of the vehicle is not similar to the set of stored identifying information, determining, by one or more processors, an age and a gender of the user of the vehicle, based on the received identifying information; and
activating, by one or more processors, a set of vehicle setting ranges, wherein the set of vehicle setting ranges are based on the determined age and gender of the user of the vehicle and wherein activating the set of vehicle setting ranges, further comprises:
determining, by one or more processors, a type of roadway associated with a current location of the vehicle; and
applying, by one or more processors, a limitation on the set of vehicle setting ranges, wherein the limitation is based in part on the age of the user of the vehicle, the gender of the user of the vehicle, and the determined type of roadway.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining the identifying information from the user of the vehicle is similar to the set of stored identifying information, activating, by one or more processors, a driving profile, wherein the driving profile comprises a set of vehicle settings associated with the set of stored identifying information.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein activating the driving profile further comprises adjusting, at least one of:
a seat of the vehicle; a radio of the vehicle; a set of side mirrors of the vehicle; a predetermined climate control of the vehicle; a steering wheel of the vehicle; a suspension of the vehicle; an engine output of the vehicle; and a transmission of the vehicle.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, by one or more processors, the determined age and gender of the user of the vehicle to a third party; and
responsive to transmitting the determined age and gender of the user of the vehicle to a third party, receiving, from the third party, a third party driving profile.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
adjusting the set of vehicle setting ranges, based on a received speed limit, wherein adjusting the set of vehicle setting ranges limits a maximum speed of the vehicle.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a new driver mode, wherein the new driver mode engages a driving profile, which limits the set of vehicle setting ranges based on a stored new driver profile.
