Systems And Methods For Enhancing In-Cabin Sleep Experience In Vehicle

View page
US Patent:
20220324458, Oct 13, 2022
Filed:
Apr 13, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/229778
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Pietro Buttolo - Dearborn Heights MI, US
Karthik Krishnamurthy - Farmington Hills MI, US
Thomas Chrapkiewicz - Farmington Hills MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B60W 40/08
G06N 20/00
B60W 50/14
B60Q 3/80
B60K 35/00
B60N 2/90
Abstract:
Systems and methods for enhancing in-cabin sleeping experience within a vehicle are provided. The method includes determining whether a first occupant, e.g., a passenger, within the vehicle is asleep based on data captured of an interior of the vehicle, e.g., via one or more cameras within the vehicle. The method further includes informing a second occupant, e.g., a driver, within the vehicle that the first occupant is asleep, and adjusting an interior cabin parameter to accommodate the first occupant. The method further may include adjusting the interior cabin parameter to wake up the first occupant when the vehicle is a predetermined time or distance from a target destination. Moreover, the method may include classifying the first occupant such that the inter cabin parameter is adjusted to accommodate the first occupant based on the classification of the first occupant.

View page
US Patent:
20140328076, Nov 6, 2014
Filed:
May 3, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/886475
Inventors:
Thomas Chrapkiewicz - Oakland MI, US

B60Q 3/00
B60Q 3/02
US Classification:
362511, 320107, 362546
Abstract:
A power outlet/charger for a portable electronic device, the power outlet/charger comprising an electrically insulating housing having a proximal end having an opening and a distal end having a first electrical connector; an electronic converter circuit fixedly housed in the housing for receiving a first voltage from a vehicle electrical power source through the first connector and for converting the first voltage to a second voltage compatible with the USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard; and a USB connector disposed through the proximal end opening and connected to receive the second voltage; the housing being sized to directly replace a standard vehicle electrical cigar lighter socket/power outlet and fit into an opening in a vehicle panel for the standard vehicle electrical cigar lighter socket/power outlet, the first electrical connector being connectable to an electrical wiring harness of the vehicle having a connector that releasably connects with the first connector. Preferably, the first connector comprises a US-CAR connector.
