Abstract
A cover material, in particular a seat cover material, having an upper side and a lower side and at least one seam that runs over at least a part of the cover material and that is visible on the upper side.

Claims11
A vehicle seat assembly, comprising:
- a vehicle seat, with a backrest (3), a seat part (2), and a seat cover (6);
- an electrically conductive element (7) set at an electric potential that differs from the ground potential and thereby generates an electric field;
- and
- a control unit (8), which is coupled with the electrically conductive element (7) such that the electric field is modified when a user's finger approaches or touches an upper side of the seat cover (6) in the vicinity of a seam (4, 4′, 4″, 4′″, 4″″), and wherein the control unit (8) receives an electric signal generated by a modification of the electric field.
