The patent application details a system that enhances vehicle user experience through a smart key capable of measuring and transmitting biometric data. This system involves a vehicle and its associated wireless key, which gathers physiological information from the user, such as heart rate and temperature. The gathered data is then used to assess the user's state and make adjustments to the vehicle environment accordingly.
The wireless key plays a crucial role in collecting biometric data from the user. This data is essential for determining the user's physiological state, which can include stress levels or comfort needs. Once collected, the biometric information is sent to the vehicle to tailor various settings, ensuring an optimal environment for the user upon entry.
Upon receiving the biometric data from the wireless key, the vehicle can adjust several internal settings. This preconditioning process may involve modifying climate control to suit the user's comfort, altering lighting conditions for a pleasant ambiance, and setting audio preferences to match user tastes. These adjustments aim to create a personalized and comfortable driving experience.
In addition to biometric data, the wireless key can also transmit its location data to the vehicle. This information helps in preconditioning by detecting when the key is approaching, allowing the vehicle to prepare itself in anticipation of user arrival. It can also provide insights into the user's current activity, further refining how the vehicle adjusts its settings.
By integrating biometric and location data, this smart key system significantly enhances user interaction with their vehicle. The ability to automatically adjust settings based on real-time data ensures that users are greeted with a tailored environment every time they use their vehicle. This innovation not only improves comfort but also adds a layer of convenience and personalization to the driving experience.
