Abstract:
1. A system for identification, personalization, and monitoring cardiac activity of a driver in a vehicle, based on ECG data, the system comprising: ECG trace probing means for acquiring in real-time one or more electric signals generated by cardiac muscles of the driver, wherein the one or more electric signals are filtered to eliminate noise, and wherein the one or more electrical signals are representative of raw ECG data of the driver; means for extracting ECG features from the raw ECG data and converting each ECG feature into a binary code sequence using a binary sequence code book generation algorithm in a binary code book, wherein the binary code sequence of each ECG feature comprises a minimum value and a maximum value, indicating a variance in the ECG feature of the driver; a memory storage comprising a plurality of binary code books wherein each binary code book is designated to store the binary code sequences for the extracted ECG features of an identified driver as a profile of the identified driver; means for identifying the driver by matching real time extracted ECG features from real time raw ECG data converted to a real time binary code sequence with one of the profiles in the memory storage, wherein the real time binary code sequence of the real time extracted ECG features are matched with the binary code sequence of the raw ECG using a nearest neighbor classifier algorithm; and means for storing preferences of the driver for personalization in the vehicle, wherein the preferences are triggered in the vehicle after the binary code sequence and the enrolled binary code book sequence are matched.
