Abstract
A vehicle seat has at least one occupant comfort actuator suited for acting on a part of the body of an occupant of the seat. The actuator is driven based on at least one measurement of one sensor of sweat from the occupant of the seat.
Claims14
A seat for a vehicle, comprising at least a climate controller and a massager suited for acting on a part of a body of an occupant of the seat,
- wherein at least the climate controller and the massager are operated based on at least one measurement of at least one biomarker contained in sweat from the occupant by at least one sensor of sweat,
- wherein the at least one sensor of sweat is configured for independently measuring at least one first biomarker among said at least one biomarker and at least one second biomarker among said at least one biomarker, said at least one first biomarker and said at least one second biomarker being contained in the sweat from the occupant, wherein the at least one first biomarker is characteristic of an excess of body heat from the occupant, and the at least one second biomarker is characteristic of a stress of the occupant, and
- wherein the climate controller is operated when said at least one first biomarker is detected and wherein the massager is operated when said at least one second biomarker is detected.
A method for managing comfort of an occupant of a vehicle seat, said vehicle seat comprising at least a climate controller and a massager suited for acting on a part of the body of the occupant of the seat, said method comprising the steps of:
- getting at least one measurement of at least one biomarker contained in sweat from the occupant of the seat, from at least one sensor of sweat, wherein at least one first biomarker among said at least one biomarker and at least one second biomarker among said at least one biomarker are measured independently by the at least one sensor of sweat, and wherein the at least one first biomarker is characteristic of an excess of body heat from the occupant, and the at least one second biomarker is characteristic of a stress of the occupant;
- and
- operating the climate controller and the massager based on the at least one measurement of the at least one biomarker contained in sweat from the occupant of the seat, wherein the climate controller is operated when said at least one first biomarker is detected and wherein the massager is operated when said at least one second biomarker is detected.
