Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a position of a seat for a vehicle includes: an input unit for receiving a relaxation mode operation command for a vehicle seat from a user; a determination unit for determining a current position state of the vehicle by using a G-sensing value for the vehicle seat and a reference position value for the vehicle based on the relaxation mode operation command; and a control unit for controlling an operation module of the vehicle seat to compensate a position of the vehicle seat when the vehicle is located on an inclined road.
Claims8
An apparatus for controlling a position of a vehicle seat in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from a user, a command to operate relaxation mode of the vehicle seat,
- compare a position sensing value for the vehicle seat with a preset reference position value for the vehicle while the relaxation mode is being maintained,
- wherein the position sensing value is obtained based on a sensor reading of a first G-sensor disposed on the vehicle seat,
- wherein the preset reference position value is prepared based on a sensor reading of a second G-sensor disposed under the vehicle seat and mounted on a track on which the vehicle seat is mounted;
- determine that position compensation of the vehicle seat is required when a difference between the position sensing value and the preset reference position value is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference threshold;
- and
- control an operation module of the vehicle seat to compensate a position of the vehicle seat to maintain the relaxation mode when the difference between the position sensing value and the preset reference position value is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference threshold such that the difference between the position sensing value and the preset reference position value is less than the predetermined reference threshold while the relaxation mode is being maintained.
A method of controlling a position of a vehicle seat in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one processor, a command to operate a relaxation mode for the vehicle seat from a user;
- comparing, by the at least one processor, a position sensing value for the vehicle seat and a preset reference position value for the vehicle while the relaxation mode is being maintained,
- wherein the position sensing value is obtained based on a sensor reading of a first G-sensor disposed on the vehicle seat,
- wherein the preset reference position value is prepared based on a sensor reading of a second G-sensor disposed under the vehicle seat and mounted on a track on which the vehicle seat is mounted;
- determining that position compensation of the vehicle seat is required when a difference between the position sensing value and the preset reference position value is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference threshold;
- and
- controlling, by the at least one processor, an operation module of the vehicle seat to compensate a position of the vehicle seat to maintain the relaxation mode when the difference between the position sensing value and the preset reference position value is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference threshold such that the difference between the position sensing value and the preset reference position value is less than the predetermined reference threshold while the relaxation mode is being maintained.
