Abstract
A sensor is located within a vehicle that is able to determine pressure and location of an occupant or object. The sensor is able to take measurements during static conditions and situations where an object or occupant is moving due to the movement of, for example, a vehicle. The measurements taken during movement and during the static conditions and are used in order to enhance and refine the results of measurements that would be obtained if the measurements were taken alone.
Claims20
A vehicle seat comprising:
- a first sensor located within a portion of the vehicle seat, wherein the first sensor is adapted to take a plurality of measurements, wherein the plurality of measurements are used to determine information regarding an occupant or object contacting the portion of the seat where the first sensor is located;
- and
- wherein the first sensor is operably connected to a processor, wherein the processor is adapted to process the plurality of measurements taken by the first sensor and provide information regarding the occupant or object contacting the portion of the seat where the first sensor is located;
- and
- wherein the plurality of measurements comprises measurements taken during movement of the vehicle seat, wherein the measurements taken during movement of the vehicle seat are used to complement other measurements of the plurality of measurements and to improve the information regarding the occupant or object contacting the portion of the seat where the first sensor is located.

A system comprising:
- a first sensor operably connected to a portion of an item subjected to movement, wherein the first sensor is adapted to take a plurality of measurements, wherein the plurality of measurements are used to determine information regarding an occupant or object contacting the portion of the item subjected to movement where the first sensor is located;
- and
- wherein the first sensor is operably connected to a processor, wherein the processor is adapted to process the plurality of measurements taken by the first sensor and provide information regarding the portion of the item subjected to movement where the first sensor is located;
- and
- wherein the plurality of measurements comprises measurements taken during movement of the item, wherein the measurements taken during movement of the item are used to complement other measurements of the plurality of measurements and to improve the information regarding the occupant or object contacting the portion of the where the first sensor is located.
