Abstract
The invention relates to a method for automated device control for use in a vehicle (400) comprising steps (S100 to 180): - Identification and localization of a person by means of at least one sensor (200) for detecting the vehicle's surroundings (400), - Determining parameters for assessing a person's emotional state, - Determining the person's emotional state based on the parameters, - Establishing a response learned by an algorithm from previously recorded emotional states and associated interactions of the person with the vehicle (400) and / or at least one vehicle system, and - automated control of the vehicle (400) and / or the vehicle systems according to the specified response, wherein - the parameters for recording the person's emotional state are determined when the person moves towards the vehicle (400) and an intention to interact is detected by means of a posture and / or at least one gesture, - and data on the person's posture and / or gait pattern and / or movement speed are used as parameters for recording the person's emotional state and - the person's emotional state is determined based on data relating to posture and / or gait and / or speed of movement.
