Abstract
A method for controlling the configuration of a vehicle seat, the method comprising: a) acquiring, at a defined frequency, three pressure values by three sensors arranged on three defined zones of the squab; b) calculating attributes from the acquired pressure values, the attributes being selected from a standard deviation, a sum, and a first ratio; c) determining a seat destination configuration from the calculated attributes, by applying a trained classification model, d) transmitting a motion command signal to mobile motorized mechanisms, the motion command signal being suitable for causing the seat to move towards the determined destination configuration.
Claims16
A method for controlling the configuration of a vehicle seat, the seat having a squab and a backrest, the method being implemented by a controller, the method comprising:
- a) acquiring, at a defined frequency, at least three pressure values by at least three sensors arranged on at least three defined zones of the squab;
- b) calculating at least two attributes from at least two of the three acquired pressure values, the calculated attributes being selected from a standard deviation, a sum, and a first ratio;
- c) determining a seat destination configuration from the calculated attributes, by applying a trained classification model;
- d) transmitting at least one motion command signal to mobile and motorized mechanisms, the at least one motion command signal being suitable for driving at least one movement of the seat towards the determined destination configuration.
A method for automatically adjusting the configuration of a vehicle seat implemented by a controller and comprising:
- i. determining a first set of seat occupant-specific indicators as a function of signals from a set of sensors, at least some of the sensors being integrated in the seat;
- ii. determining a first set of target values as a function of the first set of indicators;
- iii. transmitting command signals to mobile mechanisms of the seat so that the mechanisms are actuated and values measured via the sensors approach the determined target values;
- iv. checking that preset conditions have been met to interrupt the method and the actuation of the mechanisms, at least some of the preset conditions involving reaching the target values determined by the measured values.
