Embodiment Construction

[0016] This description refers to driver assistance systems and modules that can be used to adjust e.g. Figure 1-2 music output from an in-vehicle infotainment system to reduce dangerous driving associated with bad user mood. The vehicle controller can execute for example Figure 3-4 control routines to infer a user's mood based on user behavior, such as user body movement and body position, monitored while music is being streamed into the vehicle. Specifically, based on the user's body movements relative to an aspect of streaming music, the controller may determine whether the user's behavior is indicative of a bad mood and potentially reckless driving. The controller also recognizes and distinguishes between body movements that indicate control gestures and those that indicate the user's mood, and adjusts vehicle music settings accordingly, such as Figure 5 detailed description here. Furthermore, actuation of vehicle control elements based on recognized control gestures...

Abstract

Methods are provided for adjusting a music output of a vehicle audio system based on driver movements performed while listening to the music. In one embodiment, a music output of a vehicle infotainment system is adjusted responsive to monitored user behavior inside a vehicle, the monitored user behavior manifesting a user mood. In another embodiment, the music output is adjusted based on each of a user mood and a control gesture, wherein both the user mood and the gesture are identified based on user information gathered from vehicle biometric sensors and cameras while music is playing inside the vehicle.
