US 12,728,771 B2 · Seat control apparatus and method

Abstract

A seat control apparatus includes an input device, a driving device, a memory that stores one or more instructions, and a controller operatively connected to the input device, the driving device, and the memory. The controller is configured to execute the one or more instructions to receive a specified input regarding a location control of a seat through the input device. The controller is also configured to identify an output current required for controlling the seat from a current state to a target state corresponding to the specified input by using the driving device. The controller is also configured to determine an operation sequence of one or more motors included in the driving device, based on the output current. The controller is also configured to control the seat to the target state by using the driving device, based on the determined operation sequence.
