Abstract

An assistance device in a vehicle is described. The assistance device may be used to create a user profile for a driver and to call up the user profile to perform the settings on the various components. The assistance device may include a computer, which may be connected to means for person recognition. Connected data sources, means for representation, means for data reception, an air conditioning system, and a control system for person-specific variable components of the vehicle may be adjusted according to the user profile of the respective driver. The computer may as an alternative be connected to other components over a bus. The user profile may be altered according to a user's most recent settings.
