Methods and systems for defining vehicle user profiles and managing user profiles via cloud systems and applying learned settings to user profiles

摘要

Methods and systems are provide access to cloud services over the Internet for managing a user profile of a vehicle on a cloud processing system connected to the Internet. One example method includes receiving requests to access the user profile to define settings for one or more vehicles. The method includes receiving input to user settings at the vehicle at the cloud processing system. The method includes processing the input over time to learn behavior associated with the input to the use settings. The method includes transmitting settings to the vehicle to be automatically implemented based on the learned behavior. The method being executed by a processor. The profile can be transferred to one or more vehicles, can be set for a temporary period of time, can be set with wireless payment systems, and is accessible over the Internet to accept changes or updates.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a server, a request to manage a profile for a user account; identifying, by the server, a vehicle type from the profile; receiving, by the server, a plurality of settings for the profile that identifies a vehicle having the vehicle type, the settings being stored on a profile database of a cloud services system that includes the server; transferring, by the server, the profile to the vehicle identified in the plurality of settings, the transferring being via wireless communication transfer over the Internet, the profile configured to be applied so that the settings are implemented by the vehicle; receiving, by the server, communication from the vehicle to update the profile with setting changes made at the vehicle or learned from user input at the vehicle, receiving, by the server, data from the vehicle to detect a violation of a setting in the profile; and automatically sending, by the server, a notification to a predefined administrator of the profile to identify the violation, wherein for updates to the profile based on changes learned from user input at the vehicle, the method further includes,
accessing, by the server, a plurality of profiles of different users stored in the profile database;detecting, by the server, pattern similarities in changes made to settings in vehicles associated with the profiles of different users;providing a suggested setting for the vehicle to the user account of the profile, the suggested setting being based on the user input at the vehicle and refined using the detected pattern similarities of the different users, wherein the communication from the vehicle to update the profile based on changes learned from user input occurs after acceptance of the suggestion is received from the user account of the profile, the method being executed by a processor.
