Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 a vehicle seat comprising a plurality of adjustable aspects;   a display component that visually presents one or more options associated with settings for the vehicle seat;   an input component that receives one or more selections of the one or more options; and   a control component that determines one or more adjustments based at least in part on the one or more selections,   wherein the vehicle seat adjusts a subset of the plurality of aspects based at least in part on the one or more determined adjustments.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a remote device that stores the one or more selections, wherein the input component receives the one or more selections from the remote device. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat comprises one or more speakers that output information associated with the one or more options or the one or more adjustments. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a vehicle information component that monitors one or more vehicle conditions of a vehicle associated with the vehicle seat, wherein the one or more adjustments are based at least in part on the one or more conditions. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the display component provides a recommendation associated with at least one of the one or more options, wherein the recommendation is based at least in part on the one or more vehicle conditions. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the input component receives one or more occupant conditions of an occupant of the seat, wherein the display component provides a recommendation associated with at least one of the one or more options, wherein the recommendation is based at least in part on the one or more occupant conditions. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat comprises an extendable leg support, and the plurality of adjustable aspects comprises an amount of extension of the extendable leg support. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat comprises heating and cooling elements, and the plurality of adjustable aspects comprises activation of at least one of the heating elements or the cooling elements. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the display component visually presents the one or more options via a heads-up display. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more selections are received via one or more physical controls. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more selections are received via voice input. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more selections are received via a touch screen or a touchpad. 
     
     
         13 . A method, comprising:
 visually presenting a plurality of seat adjustment options associated with a seat in a vehicle;   receiving a selection of at least one of the plurality of seat adjustment options;   analyzing the selection in connection with one or more conditions; and   adjusting one or more settings of the seat based at least in part on the selection.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 monitoring the one or more settings in connection with the one or more conditions; and   providing at least one of a notification or a recommendation based at least in part on the monitoring.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising blocking at least a portion of the selection based at least in part on the analyzing the selection in connection with the one or more conditions. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the receiving comprises receiving the selection from a remote device. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more conditions comprises one or more vehicle conditions of the vehicle.
