Abstract
Various embodiments are presented for providing customized and adaptive massaging in vehicle seats. A method for providing customized and adaptive massaging in vehicle seats is disclosed. The method includes the steps of receiving profile information associated with an occupant of a seat of a vehicle; receiving a current driving mode of the vehicle, selecting a massage setting for the seat based on the profile information and the current driving mode, and massaging the occupant of the seat based on the massage setting.
Claims20
A method for providing customized and adaptive massaging in vehicle seats of a vehicle comprising:
- receiving, by an infotainment controller of the vehicle, profile information associated with an occupant of a seat of the vehicle;
- receiving, by the infotainment controller, a current driving mode of the vehicle;
- selecting, by the infotainment controller, a massage setting for the seat based on the profile information and the current driving mode;
- and
- outputting, by a massage controller of the vehicle, actuator signals to one or more actuators positioned within the seat to provide a massage to the occupant of the seat based on the massage setting.
A system for providing customized and adaptive massaging in vehicle seats comprising:
- a seat disposed within a vehicle, the seat comprising a seating area having compliant cover, the seat further comprising a plurality of actuators arranged to apply forces to the compliant cover;
- a computing device in the vehicle, the computing device in communication with the plurality of actuators, the computing device comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- a processor in communication with the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the processor configured to execute program code stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:
- receive profile information associated with an occupant of a seat of a vehicle;
- receive a current driving mode of the vehicle;
- select a massage setting for the seat based on the profile information and the current driving mode;
- and
- output actuator signals to one or more actuators positioned within the seat to provide a massage to the occupant of the seat based on the massage setting.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising processor-executable program code for providing customized and adaptive massaging in vehicle seats, the program code configured to cause a processor to:
- receive profile information associated with an occupant of a seat of a vehicle;
- receive a current driving mode of the vehicle;
- select a massage setting for the seat based on the profile information and the current driving mode;
- and
- output actuator signals to one or more actuators positioned within the seat to provide a massage to the occupant of the seat based on the massage setting.
