Abstract
A seat device for a vehicle and a control method thereof are provided. The seat device for the vehicle includes: an electric device for moving a seat of the vehicle; a pinch detection unit that detects a pinched obstacle by detecting a load change of the electric device when the seat moves; and a control unit that causes the electric device to perform a reverse operation when the pinch detection unit detects that the obstacle is pinched, so as to cause the seat to reversely move. A reverse movement amount by which the seat is reversely moved is determined based on a time from when the load change starts to when the pinch detection unit detects that the obstacle is pinched.
Claims12
A seat device for a vehicle, comprising:
- one or more motors, configured to move a seat of the vehicle;
- and
- a hardware processor configured to:
- detect a pinched obstacle by detecting a load change of the one or more motors when the seat moves;
- and
- cause the one or more motors to perform a reverse operation when detecting that the obstacle is pinched, so as to cause the seat to reversely move,
- wherein a reverse movement amount by which the seat is reversely moved is determined based on a time from when the load change starts to when detecting that the obstacle is pinched, wherein
- the reverse movement amount is equal to a movement amount of the seat during a time from when the load change starts to when detecting that the obstacle is pinched.
A control method for a seat device for a vehicle, wherein the seat device has one or more motors configured to move a seat of the vehicle, and the control method comprises:
- detecting a pinched obstacle by detecting a load change of the one or more motors when the seat moves;
- and
- causing the one or more motors to perform a reverse operation when it is detected that the obstacle is pinched, so as to cause the seat to reversely move,
- wherein a reverse movement amount by which the seat is reversely moved is determined based on a time from when the load change starts to when the pinch detection unit detects that the obstacle is pinched, wherein
- the reverse movement amount is equal to a movement amount of the seat during a time from when the load change starts to when the obstacle is detected to be pinched.
