Abstract

A system includes a processor configured to detect push-to-start (PTS) button engagement. The processor is also configured to scan a finger positioned on a vehicle fingerprint scanner for a fingerprint. The processor is further configured to verify that the fingerprint corresponds to an authorized driver and engage a vehicle ignition when the fingerprint corresponds to an authorized driver.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to methods and apparatus for biometric vehicle activation. Background technique [0002] Many vehicles are equipped with a push-to-start button that enables the ignition of the vehicle with a single press. These vehicles are also often fitted with customizable key fobs, whereby a combination of key fob and ignition will restore the vehicle to the specific settings for the user associated with a given key fob. Of course, for example in a household, key fobs may be easily mixed together, and the number of customizable key fobs is limited by the physical number of fobs, making it difficult for the number of drivers to increase if more Additional user expenses are required for more than the initial number of key fobs. [0003] US Patent Application No. 2013 / 0096733 generally relates to an electronic ignition control system including a key fob having a biometric sensor that senses an identifying biometric char...
