Seat adjustment and sensing system
A seat adjustment system for a vehicle seat is provided. The seat adjustment system includes a seat body; at least one actuating unit, configured to adjust a support of the seat body; a sensing unit, configured to obtain and provide seat information and body shape data of a back of an occupant; and a control unit, configured to control the at least one actuating unit; wherein when one parameter of the seat body changes, the control unit makes a portion of the body shape data of the occupant in a pre-defined range via the at least one actuating unit.

Autonomous vehicle adapted for sleeping or resting in a reclined posture
A vehicle has a seat movable between an upright position and a reclined position and an automatically adjustable headrest connected to the seat, the automatically adjustable headrest being automatically adjusted for a posture of a head of a user when the user is reclined in the reclined position. The automatically adjustable headrest is automatically adjusted in response to a camera detecting that the user is sleeping or resting either on his or her back or on his or her side, the headrest being adjusted for either a side sleeping posture or a back sleeping posture.

Position-variable seat back hinge stiffness for belt-integration seats
The disclosure provides for a system that includes a seat mounted in a vehicle. The seat includes a base, a back support, a hinge, and a seat belt integrated into the seat. The back support is capable of rotating relative to the base and thereby reclining. The hinge is between the base and the back support and is configured to lock the back support in positions in relation to the base. The seat belt has a shoulder portion and a lap portion and is attached to the seat at a shoulder anchor in the back support and a base anchor in the base. When a generated torque, created from a forward force applied by the shoulder portion of the seat belt, exceeds a threshold amount of torque, the hinge is configured to unlock and back support is configured to rotate forward from a reclined position towards an upright position.
Central Electronic Control Unit For A Vehicle
A central electronic control unit (ECU, Ref. 14) is provided for controlling at least one bi-directional direct current (DC) motor (106) attached to a first vehicle seat and at least one electronic device attached to a second vehicle seat. The central ECU includes a micro-controller configured to receive feedback on a positional status of the bi-directional DC motor from a Hall Effect sensor (130). The micro-controller is configured to receive input instructions for the bi-directional DC motor and the electronic device. The micro-controller creates command instructions based in part on the received feedback and received input instructions. The central ECU selectively provides pulse width modulated (PWM) power to the bi-directional DC motor attached to the first vehicle seat and selectively provides power to the electronic device attached to the second vehicle seat in response to the command instructions from the micro-controller.
Vehicle and Method for Adjusting a Position of a Display in the Vehicle
A vehicle and a method are provided for adjusting a position of a display in the vehicle. The vehicle includes a seat, a display, particularly a touch display, a drive and an evaluation unit. The seat is disposed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and has a base and a backrest, which can be inclined relative to the base and can be transferred at least between a first angle of inclination and a second angle of inclination with respect to the base. The drive is designed to transfer the display between a first position and a second position. The display is disposed in the passenger compartment remote from the backrest. The evaluation unit is designed to determine an angle of inclination of the backrest and to control the drive in order to transfer the display to the first position if the angle of inclination of the backrest corresponds to the first angle of inclination and to transfer the display to the second position if the angle of inclination of the backrest corresponds to the second angle of inclination.
