Driver identification and identification systems and methods
An identification system in communication with a vehicle control system comprises a communication circuit configured to communicate with a remote server and at least one scanning apparatus configured to capture a biometric data. A controller is in communication with the communication circuit and the scanning apparatus. The controller is configured to receive a request for a security authorization, capture the biometric data with the scanning apparatus, and compare the biometric data to authentication data in an identification profile. Based on the comparison, the controller is further configured to authenticate a vehicle operator and communicate with a mobile device associated with the vehicle operator via the communication circuit. The communication with the mobile device is configured to limit or restrict operations of the mobile device.
1. An identification system in communication with a control system of a vehicle, the identification system comprising:
a communication circuit configured to communicate with a plurality of mobile devices;
a rearview mirror assembly including at least one scanning apparatus configured to capture a biometric data; and
a controller in communication with the communication circuit and the scanning apparatus, wherein the controller is configured to:
control the scanning apparatus to capture the biometric data;
compare the biometric data to authentication data in an identification profile;
authenticate a vehicle operator based on the authentication data;
receive operating condition data corresponding to a vehicle gear selection;
receive occupant parameter data associated with the vehicle operator and the identification profile, wherein the occupant parameter data includes at least one of financial information related to a payment account and security information;
communicate a first control instruction to a first mobile device of the mobile devices associated with the vehicle operator via the communication circuit, wherein the first control instruction is configured to cause a restricted operation of the first mobile device based on the operating condition data and the occupant parameter data; and
communicate a second control instruction to a second mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, the second mobile device associated with a non-operator passenger of the vehicle, wherein the controller is configured to communicate an indication of the operator of the vehicle in the second control instruction, wherein the second control instruction is generated while the first mobile device is in the restricted operation.
2. The identification system according to claim 1 , wherein the first control instruction is configured to cause the first mobile device to enter the restricted operation, and wherein the second control instruction is configured to cause the second device to operate in a different configuration from the restricted operation.
