The present technology relates to a seat for a moving device, a seat control device, and a seat control method capable of improving comfort of a seat with a simple configuration. A seat for a moving device includes a left adjustment portion configured to adjust hardness of a left gluteal contact portion including a portion assumed to be in contact with a left gluteal portion of a user on a seat surface and a right adjustment portion configured to adjust hardness of a right gluteal contact portion including a portion assumed to be in contact with a right gluteal portion of the user on the seat surface. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a system that controls automatic driving.

A chair includes a lower chair and an upper chair. The lower chair includes a tilt-swivel mechanism defining a vertical swivel axis, a yoke, and a column extending between the tilt-swivel mechanism and the yoke. The upper chair is pivotably mounted to the yoke about a horizontal upper chair pivot axis. The upper chair includes a seat adapted to cradle the ischial tuberosities of a user.

An automatically adjusting comfort method includes measuring pressure applied by a user via a pressure-sensor array, determining a pressure profile based on measurements from the pressure-sensor array, comparing the pressure profile to a first limit, determining a cumulative pressure profile over a predetermined duration, comparing the cumulative pressure profile to a second limit, and adjusting one or more of a plurality of adjusting mechanisms configured to alter the pressure profile for increased comfort of the user when the pressure profile exceeds the first limit or the second limit. An automatically adjusting comfort system includes a pressure-sensor array communicatively coupled to a controller for determining a cumulative pressure profile over time, and a plurality of adjusting mechanisms configured to alter the pressure profile to increase a user's comfort, wherein the controller automatically adjusts one or more of the plurality of adjusting mechanisms based on the cumulative pressure profile.

A hardness adjustment unit includes an elastic frame, a barrier, and a field generator. An enclosed space is provided inside the elastic frame and filled with a fluid filling. The barrier is arranged in the enclosed space and divides the enclosed space into an upper space and a lower space. The upper space communicates with the lower space. The field generator is arranged outside the elastic frame and used to apply a field to the fluid filling to adjust a viscosity of the fluid filling, thereby adjusting a flow damping of the fluid filling in the upper space and the lower space to control a deformation of the elastic frame.
