A seat cushion for a vehicle, which includes one seat cushion portion and another seat cushion portion, such that one or both of those one and another seat cushion portions may be displaced via side rails. A storage space is defined in a forwardly-facing region of one of those two seat cushion portions. An opening region is provided to that storage space and constitutes an ingress/egress opening of the storage space for allowing an article(s) to be entered thereinto and taken out therefrom. This opening region is defined in a lateral surface of a selected one of the two seat cushion portions. Thus, when the selected one of the two seat cushion portions is displaced in a forward direction to protrude from the other of the two seat cushion portions, the lateral surface is exposed outwardly on a side facing a center of the vehicle.

A video display system for a passenger seat of a vehicle. The video display system is configured to be mounted to a seatback of each passenger seat or to other structure such that the system may be utilized by the passenger. The display system includes a video display assembly having a display housing configured to be mounted to structure in the vehicle. A video monitor is housed within the display housing. The video display assembly includes a depending tab portion disposed below the area of the video monitor. The depending tab portion includes a tab display capable of displaying a computer generated graphic and/or information. The display system may also have one or more indicator lights provided adjacent the external edge of the display housing.

The invention relates to a retaining device for a still or video camera in the interior of a motor vehicle with a fastening apparatus (5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e) for attaching the retaining device to a vehicle seat part, such as a backrest (2), headrest (3), or headrest holder (4, 4a, 4b) of a vehicle seat (1), and a carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) which is oriented approximately horizontally and parallel with respect to the broad side of the backrest (2) and at one end of which a holder (7) is arranged for receiving a camera (8), wherein the carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) protrudes beyond the vehicle seat part (2, 3, 4, 4a, 4b) to such an extent that the lens (8a) of the camera (8) has an uninterrupted view towards the front in the driving direction and/or towards the rear in the direction counter to the driving direction, and wherein the carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) at its other end is connected via a first rotary joint (6a) with an approximately vertically-oriented rotational axis Z2 to the fastening device (5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e) and can be pivoted in an approximately horizontal plane.

An automatic vehicle driving device (1) including a transmission actuator unit (131) and pedal actuators (41) is supported as a whole by a frame (11) and legs (12). The frame (11) extends obliquely downward from a seat back abutting part (22) located at an upper end of the frame (11) toward a vehicle front side. The frame (11) is provided with the pair of legs (12) at a top end of the frame (11). The legs (12) extend downward along a front end of a seat cushion (3) and abut against the vehicle body floor (6). By tightening a belt (25) between the frame (11) and a seat support (27), the frame (11) is pulled obliquely downward and is firmly fixed. Since a flexible seat cushion (3) does not bear a load of the device (1), vibrations of the device (1) during a running test do not easily occur.

A mounting device for providing a platform in a motor vehicle between a first seat and a console or a second seat or a in seat-back pocket, wherein the mounting devices includes a plate sized to be received between, and form a frictional or compression engagement with, the first seat and the console or the second seat or within a seat-back pocket of the motor vehicle to facilitate maintenance of the plate in position during normal operation of the motor vehicle; and a mount attached to, and extending away from, the plate and providing a mounting surface to the plate and a fixation arrangement for attachment of an object to the mounting surface. Optionally, a fabric enclosure substantially encloses the plate therein, and the fabric enclosure is optionally a flexible foam fabric enclosure. Optionally, an inflatable bladder is received into the fabric enclosure with the plate.

A vehicle accessory has an arm extending from a pocket. The arm preferably has sides which can flex and then push outwardly to assist in mechanical retention between seats of a vehicle to locate the pocket in front of a seat. The pocket may have at least three sides extending upwardly relative to a bottom, if not more, and accessory may be manufactured from a single planar sheet bent to shape.

A speaker system includes a cushion body with which a person comes into contact when sitting therein, and a speaker, a front of which is covered by the cushion body. The cushion body includes: a three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part that is formed by a three-dimensionally entangled fiber and bears a load of the person; and a cover member that covers surroundings of the three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part. The cover member includes a first cover member that covers the part of the surroundings of the three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part located at the front of the speaker, and a second cover member that is a remainder of the cover member excluding the first cover member. The first cover member has a higher acoustic transmissivity than the second cover member.

A vehicle seating system includes a seatback pivotally coupled to a seat base. The seatback is operable between an upright position and a reclined position. A lift assembly is operably coupled to the seat base. The lift assembly is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A position sensor is coupled to the lift assembly via a ball joint, wherein the ball joint and the position sensor adjust with movement of the lift assembly. A seat controller communicatively is coupled to the position sensor, wherein the seat controller determines if the lift assembly is in the disengaged position or has moved to the engaged position based on position data received from the position sensor.

A seat assembly of a vehicle may include a support having a lower end portion connected to a floor of the vehicle; a seat frame having a connection portion provided above the support and having an entire slope which is changed by a curvature of the connection portion when the connection portion is slid, the connection portion being formed in a curved line or a curved surface; and a seat mounted on the seat frame and configured for implementing reclining by having a slope which is changed together with the seat frame when the seat frame is slid on the support.

Provided are a method and an apparatus for a music recommendation streaming service using user situation and sentiment analysis based on artificial intelligence capable of recommending a content suitable for a user getting on a moving means using sensor information.
