Problems solved by technology

For example, vision systems such as facial recognition systems are expensive and often require dedicated cameras
A system that determines the user's location from the location of the mobile phone is imprecise and unreliable because the user's location and the device's location can be different, for example, the user can place the user's mobile phone on another seat

[0066] introduction

[0067] refer to figure 1 Data indicative of one or more movements of one or more mobile devices 20 disclosed herein provides data to the vehicle computer 100 that may be used to determine the location of occupants of the vehicle 25 . The vehicle computer 100 typically receives one or more messages including identifying data from one or more mobile devices 20 . The vehicle computer 100 may further intercept messages transmitted from the first mobile device 20 to the second mobile device 20 . Based on received and / or intercepted messages received from the mobile devices 20, the vehicle computer 100 executes a programming program to associate each mobile device 20 with the user and possibly also with the user profile 101 stored in the memory of the computer 100 . The computer 100 of the vehicle 25 may further determine which mobile device 20 , if any, of a set of detected devices 20 is wearable.

[0068]The mobile devices 20 typically each include one or...

Abstract

A method includes receiving one or more messages including a first message from a first mobile device. The first mobile device is wearable. Based at least in part on the first message, the first mobile device is associated with the first user. Steering wheel motion data during a first time period and motion data from the first mobile device during the first time period are also received. According to the steering wheel motion data and the first mobile device motion data, it is determined that the first user occupies the driver's seat of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of motor vehicle technology, and more particularly to a method and computer for determining the location of a vehicle occupant. Background technique [0002] Current systems and methods for determining where a user is located in a vehicle suffer from various deficiencies. For example, vision systems such as facial recognition systems are expensive and often require dedicated cameras. Systems that determine the user's location from the location of the mobile phone are imprecise and unreliable because the user's location and the device's location can be different, for example, the user can place the user's mobile phone on another seat. Contents of the invention [0003] According to the present invention, a method is provided, comprising: [0004] receiving one or more messages including a first message from a first mobile device, the first mobile device being a wearable device; [0005] determini...
