METHOD FOR ADAPTING A TRIGGERING ALGORITHM OF A PERSONAL RESTRAINT DEVICE AND CONTROL DEVICE FOR ADAPTING A TRIGGERING ALGORITHM OF A PERSONAL RESTAINT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17642106 titled 'METHOD FOR ADAPTING A TRIGGERING ALGORITHM OF A PERSONAL RESTRAINT DEVICE AND CONTROL DEVICE FOR ADAPTING A TRIGGERING ALGORITHM OF A PERSONAL RESTAINT DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for adjusting the triggering algorithm of a personal restraint device in a vehicle based on the detected interior state of the vehicle.
- The method involves using an optical sensor device to detect key points of the vehicle occupant, such as body joints or limbs.
- By analyzing the connection of these key points to a skeleton-like representation of the body parts, the posture of the vehicle occupant can be determined.
- The method also includes predicting the future posture of the vehicle occupant by estimating the future position of at least one key point.
- Based on this predicted future posture, the triggering algorithm of the personal restraint device can be modified to provide optimal protection in the event of a collision or accident.
Overall, the patent application introduces a system that uses optical sensors and predictive modeling to adapt the personal restraint device in a vehicle based on the occupant's posture, enhancing safety and protection.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for adapting a triggering algorithm of a personal restraint device of a vehicle on the basis of a detected vehicle interior state of the vehicle. The method comprises detecting of key points of a vehicle occupant by an optical sensor device, ascertaining a vehicle occupant posture of the vehicle occupant based on the connection of the detected key points to a skeleton-like representation of body parts of the vehicle occupant, wherein the skeleton-like representation reflects the relative position and orientation of individual body parts of the vehicle occupant, predicting a future vehicle occupant posture of the vehicle occupant based on a predicted future position of at least one of the key points, and modifying the triggering algorithm of the personal restraint device based on the predicted future posture of the vehicle occupant. A control device for adapting a triggering algorithm of a personal restraint device is also disclosed.
