SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURING AND MONITORING A CHILD PLACED IN A CAR SEAT OF A VEHICLE
A car seat system for automatically displacing the movable components of the car seat. The car seat including sensors and a computing module to detect the measurements of a child placed in the car seat. The car seat system determines the current position of the movable components and displaces the movable components automatically based on the child's measurements or a desired amount. The car seat system automatically learns child's behaviors when the child is placed in the car seat. The car seat system learns schedules utilized by the child, routes taken by the driver of the car, and other data over a period of time. The behavioral, scheduling, routing, and other data obtained is stored by the car seat system and utilized to enhance the safety and comfortability of the child during a car ride. The car seat system also determines thickness of clothing worn by the child while placed in the car seat and adjusts the shoulder belts to accommodate for the clothing while providing a snug fit of the shoulder belts that fall within safety recommendations. The car seat also auto reclines to a desired angle and also rotates about itself to face the door. The car seat system includes an auto-incident detection mode. In this mode, the system detects an incident, such as an accident, hard braking, or another hazard, and automatically displaces the features in the car seat to make the car seat secure during the crash minimizing the effect of the incident on the child. The car seat also includes pretionsioners and motors to release, pull back, and lock the car seat belts.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF A WHEELCHAIR OCCUPANT
A system for adjusting a position of a wheelchair occupant includes a sensor configured to generate sensor data based on the position of the occupant, an adjustment system coupled to a support point on the wheelchair and configured to be coupled to a support point on the occupant's clothing, and a processing circuit. The adjustment system is configured to extend and retract at least one adjustment element to adjust the position of the occupant, and the processing circuit is configured to determine the position of the occupant in the wheelchair based on the sensor data and adjust the adjustment element based on the determined position of the occupant.
Determining an identification of an occupant within a vehicle
A system for determining an identification of an occupant within a vehicle can include a processor, a communications interface, and a memory. The memory can store an information reception module, an identification prediction module, and an actuation module. The information reception module can cause the processor to receive, via the communications interface, from at least one sensor, and at a time when a source of a propulsion force for the vehicle is in an off state, at least one signal having information about at least one detectable characteristic associated with the occupant within the vehicle. The identification prediction module can cause the processor to produce, based on the information, a prediction of the identification of the occupant. The actuation module can cause the processor to cause, in response to a production of the prediction, a setting of a component of the vehicle to have a specific value.
SIMPLIFIED MANUFACTURING SENSOR IMPLEMENTATION
A sensing system determines movement and position of passengers and objects within a vehicle or in another location. The sensing system is able to transmit a plurality of signals during a transmission period and use the sensed signals during a frame in order to create different heat maps that represent movement and position of person or an object during an integration period. The flexibility and capability of the sensing system and its antennas enable the sensing systems to be placed within or adjacent to components in such a manner as to reduce construction costs.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED VEHICLE SEAT CONFIGURATION
An example operation includes one or more of detecting an occupant is present within a seat of a vehicle, downloading previously-captured sensor data of the occupant from a remote platform, wherein the previously-captured sensor data is captured outside of the vehicle, determining an optimal seat configuration based on execution of an artificial intelligence (AI) model on the previously-captured sensor data, and modifying settings of the seat of the vehicle in which the occupant is present based on the optimal seat configuration
Methods and devices for a vehicle
Devices and methods for a vehicle are provided in this disclosure. A device for controlling an active seat of a vehicle may include a processor and a memory. The memory may be configured to store a transfer function. The processor may be configured to predict an acceleration of the active seat of the vehicle based on a first sensor data and the transfer function. The first sensor data may include information indicating an acceleration of a vibration source for the vehicle. The processor may be further configured to generate a control signal to control a movement of the active seat at a first instance of time based on the predicted acceleration. Furthermore, the processor may be configured to adjust the transfer function based on a second sensor data including information indicating a detected acceleration of the active seat at the first instance of time.
CARRIER TRANSPORT VEHICLE PERSONAL SENSOR ZONE
A processing system deployed in a carrier transport vehicle may establish a wireless communication session with a mobile device of a user, assign a zone of the carrier transport vehicle to the user, the zone including a plurality of network-connected devices, obtain a user profile from the mobile device of the user, determine at least one biometric sensor accessible via the mobile device of the user, obtain biometric data of the user from the at least one biometric sensor accessible via the mobile device of the user, determine a condition of the user based upon the biometric data, identify at least one adjustment to at least one of the plurality of network-connected devices in response to the condition of the user that is determined and the user profile, and apply the at least one adjustment to the at least one of the plurality of network-connected devices.
