User identification method and apparatus using lever-type door grip pattern recognition
A user identification method and apparatus using recognition of a grip pattern of a lever-type door are provided. The user identification method using recognition of a grip pattern of a lever-type door includes activating a sensing module disposed within a lever of a vehicle door when a smart-key is sensed. A grip pattern is then sensed using the sensing module and a user profile that corresponds to the grip pattern is identified. A user-customization module is activated in response to the identified user profile.
