Mobile ergonomic profile
According to various embodiments, a specific user may be determined to be located within a particular distance of a specific vehicle, and a vehicle model of the specific vehicle may be identified. Further, user ergonomic profile information associated with the specific user and the vehicle model may be accessed. The user ergonomic profile information may indicate the specific user's preference for an adjustable ergonomic parameter associated with the vehicle model. Further, the user ergonomic profile information associated with the vehicle model may be transmitted to the specific vehicle.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a selection by a specific user of a user preference for a first adjustable ergonomic parameter for a position of a type of vehicle instrument available in a first vehicle;
updating first user ergonomic profile information associated with a first vehicle model of the first vehicle and the specific user to include the first adjustable ergonomic parameter;
determining the specific user is located within a particular distance from a second vehicle;
identifying a second vehicle model of the second vehicle;
accessing vehicle ergonomic translation information that identifies the first vehicle model and the second vehicle model;
accessing in the vehicle ergonomic translation information a translation rule for the type of vehicle instrument, from a plurality of translation rules, having a pre-defined adjustment value that corresponds with the type of vehicle instrument, wherein each respective translation rule corresponds to a given pre-defined adjustment value for a different type of vehicle instrument;
based on applying the translation rule to the first adjustable ergonomic parameter, generating a predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter comprising an estimated user preference for a position for the type of vehicle instrument in the second vehicle;
generating second user profile information associated with the second vehicle model and the specific user, the second user profile information including the predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter; and
transmitting, to the second vehicle, the second user ergonomic profile information to cause adjustment of a physical instance of the type of vehicle instrument in the second vehicle according to the predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting, to the second vehicle, the second user ergonomic profile information comprises:
transmitting a command signal based on the predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter to an ergonomic control module of the second vehicle.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second vehicle model of the vehicle is determined by comparing an identification signal transmitted by the second vehicle with a database of listings of a plurality of candidate vehicle identification signals and a corresponding plurality of candidate vehicle models.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a respective type of vehicle instrument comprises at least one of:
an adjustable power seat, an adjustable power mirror, an adjustable power steering column, or an adjustable power foot pedal.
5. An apparatus comprising:
an ergonomic adjustment module implemented by one or more processors and configured to:
receive a selection by a specific user of a user preference for a first adjustable ergonomic parameter for a position of a type of vehicle instrument available in a first vehicle; and
update a first user ergonomic profile information associated with a first vehicle model of the first vehicle and the specific user to include the first adjustable ergonomic parameter;
a vehicle identification module configured to:
determine the specific user is located within a particular distance from a second vehicle; and
identify a second vehicle model of the second vehicle;
the ergonomic adjustment module further configured to:
accessing vehicle ergonomic translation information that identifies the first vehicle model and the second vehicle model;
accessing in the vehicle ergonomic translation information a translation rule for the type of vehicle instrument, from a plurality of translation rules, having a pre-defined adjustment value that corresponds with the type of vehicle instrument, wherein each respective translation rule corresponds to a given pre-defined adjustment value for a different type of vehicle instrument;
based on applying the translation rule to the first adjustable ergonomic parameter, generating a predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter comprising an estimated user preference for a position for the type of vehicle instrument in the second vehicle;
generating second user profile information associated with the second vehicle model and the specific user, the second user profile information including the predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter;
transmit, to the second vehicle, the second user ergonomic profile information to cause adjustment of a physical instance of the type of vehicle instrument in the second vehicle according to the predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the ergonomic adjustment module is further configured to transmit a command signal based on the predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter to an ergonomic control module of the second vehicle.
7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a respective adjustable type of vehicle instrument comprises at least one of:
an adjustable power seat, an adjustable power mirror, an adjustable power steering column, or an adjustable power foot pedal.
8. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having embodied thereon instructions executable by one or more machines to perform operations comprising:
receiving a selection by a specific user of a user preference for a first adjustable ergonomic parameter for a position of a type of vehicle instrument available in a first vehicle; and
updating a first user ergonomic profile information associated with a first vehicle model of the first vehicle and the specific user to include the first adjustable ergonomic parameter;
determining the specific user is located within a particular distance from a second vehicle; and
identifying a second vehicle model of the second vehicle;
accessing vehicle ergonomic translation information that identifies the first vehicle model and the second vehicle model;
accessing in the vehicle ergonomic translation information a translation rule for the type of vehicle instrument, from a plurality of translation rules, having a pre-defined adjustment value that corresponds with the type of vehicle instrument, wherein each respective translation rule corresponds to a given pre-defined adjustment value for a different type of vehicle instrument;
based on applying the translation rule to the first adjustable ergonomic parameter, generating a predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter comprising an estimated user preference for a position for the type of vehicle instrument in the second vehicle;
generating second user profile information associated with the second vehicle model and the specific user, the second user profile information including the predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter;
transmitting, to the second vehicle, the second user ergonomic profile information to cause adjustment of a physical instance of the type of vehicle instrument in the second vehicle according to the predicted second adjustable ergonomic parameter.
