A seat control apparatus includes an input device, a driving device, a memory configured to store one or more instructions, and a controller. The instructions are configured to, when being executed by the controller, cause the seat control apparatus to: identify a first current state of a target seat and a second current state of an adjacent seat upon receiving a specified input regarding a position of the target seat through the input device; identify a target state of the target seat corresponding to the specified input; predict a collision possibility of the target seat and the adjacent seat while the target seat is controlled from the first current state to the target state, based on the first current state, the second current state, and the target state; and control the target seat to the target state by using the driving device upon identifying that there is no collision possibility.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a camera disposed at an interior cabin of a vehicle equipped with the system and viewing at least a portion of a driver of the vehicle. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) including electronic circuitry and associated software. Frames of image data captured by the camera are transferred to and are processed at the ECU. The system, responsive to processing at the ECU of frames of image data captured by the camera and transferred to the ECU, determines location of the head of the driver. The system determines a configuration for a driver's seat of the vehicle based at least in part on the determined location of the head of the driver. The system adjusts the driver's seat of the vehicle using the determined configuration for the driver's seat.

A seat device for a vehicle and a control method thereof are provided. The seat device for the vehicle includes: an electric device for moving a seat of the vehicle; a pinch detection unit that detects a pinched obstacle by detecting a load change of the electric device when the seat moves; and a control unit that causes the electric device to perform a reverse operation when the pinch detection unit detects that the obstacle is pinched, so as to cause the seat to reversely move. A reverse movement amount by which the seat is reversely moved is determined based on a time from when the load change starts to when the pinch detection unit detects that the obstacle is pinched.

The application provides a seat control method, a seat controller and a product, which are applicable to the technical field of automobiles. In the application, after driving of a seat motor is stabilized and during operation of the seat motor, for each of cycles, present driving current is compared with a temporary current value corresponding to a previous cycle to determine a difference, and current change trend of each of the cycles is determined. In a case where the current change trend of the present cycle is the same as the current change trend of the previous cycle, an increment of a current locking accumulative count value is increased. A locking flag for indicating stopping of the seat motor can be determined more quickly so as to realize an anti-pinch function, and thus an anti-pinch event can be detected quickly and accurately.

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

Disclosed are a system and method for controlling a seat for a vehicle. In particular, the system includes a seat positioned in a vehicle, a motor embedded in the seat and configured to adjust an operation of the seat, a Hall sensor configured to sense an operation of the motor, and a controller configured to measure a pulse width according to the operation of the motor by means of the Hall sensor and determine whether jamming occurs during the operation of the seat based on the measured pulse width.

An adaptive robot for vehicles is provided, including an active centrifugal force counteracting structure and a controller. The active centrifugal force counteracting structure includes a first base plate, a support seat, a swing frame, multiple swing arms and a first screw motor assembly. The upper side of the support seat has a first mounting seat. The outer side of the swing frame has a plurality of pin shafts, one end of each swing arm is rotatably connected to one of the pin shafts of the swing frame, and the other end of each swing arm is rotatably connected to the first mounting seat. The first screw motor assembly is configured to drive the swing frame to perform rolling motion according to a first control signal sent by the controller to compensate for a centrifugal force.

A method to operate a customer-centric portable personal vehicle seat position system includes: generating pressure sensor profiles in response to a user seated on a vehicle seat of a first vehicle having a seat base and a seat back; correlating the pressure sensor profiles to individual user tasks; performing data reduction of the pressure sensor profiles after correlation to the individual user tasks; and encoding. multiple seat comfort preference profiles.

A vehicle includes a body defining a cabin interior, a seat assembly having a seat base, a seat back and a plurality of actuators configured to adjust ergonomic positions of the seat assembly. The vehicle has a first imaging system located in the cabin interior and configured to capture first images of an upper body of an occupant seated on the seat assembly, and a second imaging system configured to capture second images of a lower body of the occupant seated on the seat assembly. A controller processes the first and second images to determine dimension data and position data of the occupant and determines an adjusted ergonomic configuration of the seating assembly, and controls the actuators to adjust the seat assembly to the adjusted ergonomic configuration.
