Go out, since method 400 can capture user data before entering vehicle 10 in user (for example, when user is close to vehicle 10)
(step 410).
Data capture step 410 can perform in several of different ways.For example, when user moves into sensor 44a
Scope when, the view data associated with user can be caught and be transferred to via input/output interface 62 as signal
Processor 64.In response to the signal from sensor 44a, view data that processor 64 can be relatively more captured and with vehicle 10
The stored view data that is associated of former user, to determine whether this user is new user's (step 420).When captured
View data and it is specific before user stored view data it is substantially matching (for example, being matched within critical value amount)
When (step 420：It is no), processor 64 was it may be concluded that this user once operated vehicle 10 in the past.Otherwise, processor 64 can
To draw a conclusion, this user is new user's (step 420：It is).In another example, when user moves into sensor 44b's
During scope, digital signature and/or warrant with user-association can be received from personal device 46 (for example, via network 45)
Book, and as signal processor 64 is transferred to via input/output interface 62.In response to the signal from sensor 44b, processing
Device 64 can be compared digital signature and/or the certificate of authority and the stored data associated with the former user of vehicle 10
Compared with to determine that user is new or former operated vehicle 10.When the signature and/or certificate that retrieve with it is specific before use
(for example, being matched in critical value amount) (step 420 when the stored signature in family and/or certificate generally match：It is no), processor
64 as driver or passenger before this user it may be concluded that once take vehicle 10.Otherwise, processor 64 can draw knot
By this user is new user's (step 420：It is).
When the user close to vehicle 10 is confirmed as operating vehicle 10 in the past, processor 64 can be from storage unit 66
In recall and form (for example, via the corresponding command for being directed to one or more actuators 40) be used for adjustable component in
One or more assemblies one group of adjustment, these adjustment before is made by user or is previously determined by controller 60 to be right
In the appropriate adjustment (step 430) of this user.For example, the former setting based on identified user, can be to one or more
Actuator 40 supplies energy, so that in step 430 that seat 30 is mobile farther away from steering wheel 32 and/or instrument board 54.
This identical time (or time very short after that), (example can be adjusted correspondingly to air bag 50 and/or air bag 52
Such as, the adjustment at seat and/or steering wheel, the known biological characteristic based on identified user are directly based on, and/or is based on
The signal that one or more sensors 56 generate during the adjustment of seat and/or steering wheel is implemented), to increase subsequent exhibition
Opening force (that is, the expansion power that can be produced in collision process when user area 26 is occupied by same user).On the contrary, work as seat
30 be moved to closer to steering wheel 32 and/or instrument board 54 when, can be adjusted correspondingly, with reduce air bag 50 and/or
The 52 following expansion power.In this way it is possible to make seat 30 and/or steering wheel 32 back to specific configuration, these configurations
User is felt convenient and/or comfortable in the past, can set according to the adjustment of seat and/or steering wheel to adjust air bag.
Step 430 can carry out visor 36 and/or display 38 similar adjustment.
But when the user close to vehicle 10 is confirmed as new user (before for example, or within phase critical value time not yet
Operated vehicle 10) when, processor 64 can be determined and implemented (for example, via being directed to one or more actuators 40
The corresponding command) it is used for seat 30 and/or one group of adjustment of steering wheel 32 and the adjustment of corresponding air bag, for adjustable component
The one group of adjustment (step 440) that should be suitable for new user of middle one or more assemblies.(example can be based on by making this decision
Such as) with reference to the biological information and corresponding tune included in the captured view data of stored biological information
It is whole.Especially, from the user images captured, corresponding biological characteristic software can be used to collect specific biological characteristic and believed
Cease (for example, total height, torso length, leg length, arm reach, the bodily form, weight, gender etc.).Then, can be by this information
One or more parts compared with table stored in memory, with determine corresponding adjustment (for example, for seat 30,
The adjustment of steering wheel 32, air bag 50 and air bag 52 etc.).For example, being grown for specific leg, processor 64 can determine seat 30
Header/trailer adjustment, and order accordingly can be directed to associated one or more actuators 40.Similarly, for
Specific trunk height, it may be determined that the height at seat 30 adjusts and sends order., can be with similarly, for specific brachium
Determine the inclination at seat 30 and/or the orientation and angle of steering wheel 32 and send order.It can be done in the same fashion related
Air bag adjustment, and/or carry out the adjustment in relation to air bag in response to the adjustment of seat and/or steering wheel.It can determine other tune
Whole (for example, visor and/or display adjustment), then by it is this it is same in a manner of using the biological information of user send life
Order.
After step 430 or step 440 is completed, controller 60 can monitor input equipment 42, whether to determine user
Any fine setting (step 450) is carried out to adjustment (for example, adjustment to seat 30 and/or steering wheel 32).Especially, in order to increase
The facility of adjustable component and/or comfortable is accessed, user may grasp after the adjusted adjustable component of controller 60
One or more of vertical input equipment 42.In these examples, processor 64 can determine user require fine setting whether be
Acceptable (step 460).Especially, user may require being unsuitable for the adjustment of the biological characteristic of this user, these adjustment can
It can cause the injury in collision process.For example, user the head rest at seat 30 may be adjusted to increase whiplass can
The position of energy property and/or angle.Unsuitable adjustment can be detected, for example, being sensed via comparing from one or more
The signal of device 56 and the biological information of user.
When the manual fine-tuning detected in step 450 is confirmed as acceptable in step 460, processor 64 can be into
The corresponding air bag adjustment of row (if desired), and records the fine setting (step 470) associated with the identity of user so that
The following adjustment carried out to same user can include this fine setting.In addition, controller 60 can utilize the fine setting to this adjustment, with
Optimize the default setting that there is the new user of similar biological attribute data with making the user of fine setting to this adjustment.Method 400
Then step 410 can be back to from step 470, with repetition methods 400.If do not have after the adjustable component of adjust automatically
There is carry out manual fine-tuning (step 450：It is no), then control can proceed to step 410 from step 450.
Back to step 460, when processor 64 determines, when the manual fine-tuning that step 450 detects is unacceptable, to locate
Reason device 64 can generate warning (for example, by activating the apartment warning 61) (step 480) for being directed to operator.This warning can be with
The fine setting that this user of user requires is reminded to cause to increase risk to user.Then, control can return to step from step 480
Rapid 450, so as to allow user reduce the further manual fine-tuning of risk or cover system 58 (for example, not providing further
Fine setting).In some cases, unsuitable fine setting can not be allowed (for example, this fine setting can be ignored, and/or to prevent to implement
This fine setting).
