APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USE IN CONFIGURING AN ENVIRONMENT OF AN AUTOMOBILE

摘要

Some embodiments provide methods of configuring an automobile, comprising: identifying, through a controller of a first automobile, a first user of potential users, wherein the identifying comprises identifying that the first user is proximate the first automobile; accessing a first plurality of pre-sets that correspond to the first user, wherein each of the first plurality of pre-sets comprises a standardized setting configured to be implemented in multiple different types of automobiles that have different available capabilities, wherein the first plurality of pre-sets are configured to achieve substantially the same environmental conditions in each of the different types of automobiles regardless of differences; and automatically applying all of the first plurality of pre-sets without any user interaction such that each of the first plurality of pre-sets is applied at one time establishing the environment of the first automobile consistent with the first plurality of pre-sets.

主权项

1. A method of configuring an automobile in accordance with a user's preferences, the method comprising:
identifying, through a controller of a first automobile configured to establish an environment of the first automobile, a first user of one or more potential users, wherein the identifying the first user comprises identifying that the first user is proximate the first automobile; accessing a first plurality of pre-sets that correspond to the first user, wherein each of the first plurality of pre-sets comprises a standardized setting, wherein the standardized settings of each of the first plurality of pre-sets is configured to be implemented in multiple different types of automobiles including the first automobile and at least one or more automobiles that have different available capabilities corresponding to at least one of automobile performance and user's comfort than the first automobile, wherein the first plurality of pre-sets are configured to achieve, when applied, substantially the same environmental conditions, relative to the pre-sets, in each of the different types of automobiles regardless of differences between the multiple different types of automobiles; and automatically applying all of the first plurality of pre-sets without any user interaction such that each of the first plurality of pre-sets is applied at one time establishing the environment of the first automobile consistent with the first plurality of pre-sets that correspond to the first user.
