Vehicle operator verification system that prevents vehicle adapting systems from adapting

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the teaching of the present invention, a vehicle operator ID verification system is disclosed that correlates an operator ID code with certain vehicle parameters such as seat position and side mirror position.
In one embodiment, a key fob transmitter transmits a vehicle operator identification signal that is received and deciphered by a receiver within the vehicle.
A personalization command system receives the vehicle operator identification code from the receiver and correlates the code with stored identification codes.
The command system will then initiate various adapting systems that correspond to that operator code.
Likewise, the personalization command system will cause various personalization devices, such as seat and mirror positioning devices, to be actuated to a position corresponding to the received operator identification code.
If one or more of the various personalization devices are adjusted by the vehicle operator a certain percentage beyond the settings that correspond to the received operator ID code, the system will prevent the adapting systems from adapting to the current vehicle operator.
Additional objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
