SEAT FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18206745 titled 'SEAT FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a seat for a vehicle that can be controlled to adjust the reclining, tilting, and sliding functions. The control unit can limit or enforce the angle adjustments of the reclining and tilting units based on the sensed tilting angle of the seat cushion and the position of the seat.

  • Reclining unit, tilting unit, sliding unit, and control unit are included in the seat for a vehicle.
  • The control unit can control the driving of the reclining, tilting, and sliding units.
  • The control unit can limit or enforce angle adjustments of the reclining and tilting units based on sensed data.
  • The sensed data includes the tilting angle of the seat cushion and the position of the seat.
  • The support angle of the seatback is linked to the sensed data for adjustment.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Control unit for adjusting reclining, tilting, and sliding functions of the seat.
  • Limiting or enforcing angle adjustments based on sensed data.

Original Abstract Submitted

A seat for a vehicle includes a reclining unit, a tilting unit, a sliding unit, and a control unit configured to control driving of the reclining unit, the tilting unit and the sliding unit. A method for controlling the seat implemented by the control unit may limit or enforce at least one of an angle adjustment amount of the tilting unit and an angle adjustment amount of the reclining unit by linking at least one of a sensed tilting angle of the seat cushion and a sensed position of the seat with a support angle of a seatback.
