    摘要: Some embodiments are directed to hierarchical based computer implemented methods and systems for controlling predetermined vehicle operations upon receiving requests from vehicle occupants. The methods and systems include identifying vehicle occupants regardless of their location within the vehicle, and matching an identified vehicle occupant who has entered a request with one profile of a hierarchy of stored profiles. Each profile can correspond to at least one of the occupants who has been identified, and provides authorization to control certain of the predetermined operations. The methods and systems also include accepting the request to control the requested operation if the matched profile provides authorization to control the requested operation, rejecting the request to control the requested operation if the matched profile does not provide authorization to control the requested operation, and enabling implementation of the requested operation if the request has been accepted based on the matched profile providing authorization.
