Abstract

Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system that provides various outputs based on a user profile and determined context. An output provided by the present disclosure can change a configuration of a vehicle, device, building, and/or a system associated with the user profile. The configurations can include comfort and interface settings that can be adjusted based on the user profile information. Further, the user profiles can track health data related to the user and make adjustments to the configuration to assist the health of the user.

         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the at least one user is provided by a sensor worn by the at least one user. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the output configured to address the deviation is provided by the vehicle, and wherein addressing the deviation includes adjusting one or more settings associated with the vehicle. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the one or more settings include at least one of a vehicle interior humidity, temperature, climate control fan speed, climate control air direction setting, oxygen level, sound level, window position, seat position, and lighting level. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 detecting a vehicle incident via one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;   collecting, based at least partially on the detected vehicle incident, the data associated with the at least one user; and   sending the established baseline biometric profile and collected data associated with the at least one user to a third party.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the data associated with the at least one user is received at a first data rate in the absence of a detected vehicle incident and collected at a higher second data rate upon detecting the vehicle incident. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the collected data associated with the at least one user is sent to the third party in real-time. 
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
 separating a vehicle into two or more zones, wherein each zone of the two or more zones corresponds to a physical area inside the vehicle;   detecting a presence of at least one user in a zone of the two or more zones of the vehicle;   determining an identity of the at least one user in the zone of the vehicle;   identifying the zone;   retrieving, in response to determining the identity of the at least one user and the identification of the zone, an established baseline biometric profile associated with the at least one user for the identified zone;   receiving data associated with the at least one user, wherein the data includes biometric information;   detecting a deviation between the received data and an established baseline biometric profile associated with the at least one user for the identified zone; and   providing, based at least partially on the detected deviation, an output configured to address the deviation.   
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein prior to retrieving the established baseline biometric profile associated with the at least one user the method further comprises:
 determining the baseline biometric profile associated with the at least one user for the identified zone; and   storing the determined baseline biometric profile in a user profile memory associated with the at least one user for the identified zone.   
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein determining the presence of the at least one user in the zone of the two or more zones of the vehicle further comprises:
 detecting a person via at least one image sensor associated with the vehicle.   
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein determining the identity of the at least one user in the zone of the vehicle further comprises:
 identifying facial features associated with the person detected via the at least one image sensor; and   determining whether the identified facial features associated with the person match user characteristics stored in a memory.   
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the output configured to address the deviation is provided by the vehicle, and wherein addressing the deviation includes adjusting one or more settings associated with the vehicle.
