SEAT SURFACE TEMPERATURE CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240217407 titled 'SEAT SURFACE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The system described in the patent application involves processors coupled with memory in a vehicle to receive temperature information from a sensor and control the airflow for a seat based on the temperature of the seat surface.
- Processors coupled with memory in a vehicle receive temperature information from a sensor.
- The system identifies a parameter of a device that provides airflow for a seat in the vehicle.
- Using a model based on the temperature information and the device parameter, the system determines the temperature of the seat surface.
- The system then controls the temperature of the airflow provided for the seat based on the temperature of the seat surface.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for climate control in vehicles - Comfort enhancement in vehicle seats - Energy efficiency in regulating airflow for seats
Problems Solved: - Ensures optimal temperature control for seat comfort - Improves energy efficiency by regulating airflow based on seat temperature
Benefits: - Enhanced comfort for passengers - Energy savings through efficient airflow control - Customizable temperature settings for individual seats
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Climate Control System for Vehicle Seats" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to offer advanced climate control features in their vehicles, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency. It can also be integrated into luxury vehicle models to provide a premium seating experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the parameter of the device providing airflow for the seat? - The system uses a model based on the temperature information and the device parameter to calculate the temperature of the seat surface. 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in vehicles? - The cost implications would depend on the complexity of the system and the integration process into existing vehicle designs.
