ADAPTIVE SEAT MASSAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18079645 titled 'ADAPTIVE SEAT MASSAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an adaptive seat massage system that includes a massage module, a pressure measurement module, and a control module. The system provides a massage function in multiple regions of a seat, detects pressure applied by a user in these regions, and determines whether to operate the massage module based on the pressure measurements received.

  • The massage module provides a massage function in multiple regions of a seat.
  • The pressure measurement module detects pressure applied by a user in these regions and transmits corresponding pressure measurement signals.
  • The control module determines whether to operate the massage module in at least one region based on the pressure measurement signals received.
  • When the massage module is operated in at least one region, the control module determines the operating mode based on the pressure measurements and transmits a control signal to the massage module to control its operation.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various seating systems, such as car seats, office chairs, and home furniture, to provide users with a customized and adaptive massage experience.

Problems Solved

1. Provides targeted massage therapy based on user's pressure points. 2. Offers a personalized and comfortable massage experience for users.

Benefits
