A thigh angle information obtainer obtains information regarding a thigh angle of the seated person. A back knee angle information obtainer obtains information regarding a back knee angle of the seated person. An estimator estimates the length of the lower limb of the seated person based on the information regarding the thigh angle obtained by the thigh angle information obtainer and information regarding the back knee angle obtained by the back knee angle information obtainer.

The present disclosure provides a device for reclining a seatback for a vehicle, which may allow a separate actuator to be driven by a switching signal of a lever switch when a user operates the lever switch with only a small force such that a cable connected to a latch for locking or unlocking a recliner may be pulled in an unlock direction of the recliner, thereby implementing the reclining operation for adjusting an angle of the seatback in a semiautomatic manner.

The present invention relates to a method for adjusting at least a first movable seat element (2) of a vehicle seat 1, in which a graphic element (10) of the vehicle seat (1) to be adjusted is displayed with at least one graphic element (20) of the first seat element (2) on a display surface (13), in order to adjust the first seat element a first switching element and a second switching element are displayed on the display surface (13), wherein the first switching element comprises a first graphic arrow element (21) and the second switching element comprises a second graphic arrow element (22), which graphic arrow elements distinguish opposite directions for moving the first seat element (2), and on actuating the first switching element (21) a control signal is generated, by means of which the first seat element (2) is moved in a first direction (A) and, at the same time, the graphic element (20) of the first seat element (2) is moved. In addition, the invention relates to a device for carrying out this method.

Disclosed is a lighting control system of a vehicle seat switch. The lighting control system includes a movable object mounted to be rotatable with respect to a stationary object, a switch mounted on the movable object and configured to emit light, a position recognizer installed in the switch to sense position information of the switch, and a controller configured to receive the position information and to adjust an intensity of light emitted by the switch based on the position information.

An adjustable seat for a vehicle including a first seat section configured to support a lower leg portion of the passenger when the passenger is sitting facing the first direction and a second seat section configured to support an upper leg portion of the passenger when the passenger is sitting facing the first direction and a torso and head portion of the passenger when the passenger is sitting facing the second direction. The adjustable seat also comprising a third seat section configured to support the torso and head portion of the passenger when the passenger is sitting facing the first direction and the upper leg portion of the passenger when the passenger is sitting facing the second direction. The adjustable seat also comprising a fourth seat section configured to support the lower leg portion of the passenger when the passenger is sitting facing the second direction.

A system and method for adjusting seats of different vehicles, wherein the vehicles comprise means for retrieving an identifier of a seat user, wherein the system comprises means for storing data of seat adjustments made by an identified user in a first vehicle which are associated with the user identifier, comprises means for transmitting the seat adjustment data of the first vehicle and user identifier data to a second vehicle of a different type than the first vehicle, and comprises means for converting seat adjustment data of the first vehicle into seat adjustment data of the second vehicle so as to offer the user similar comfort in vehicles of different types.

A vehicle seat includes a seat bottom, a seat back, and an armrest. A human-machine interface for controlling features of the vehicle seat or vehicle is coupled to the armrest.

A dynamic ergonomic surface system for use in a motor vehicle includes an ergonomic surface that is inlayed in a surrounding surface and transitions between states, including: a neutral state in which the ergonomic surface is consistent with the surrounding surface, and at least one ergonomic support state in which the ergonomic surface provides ergonomic support for a user operating an input device. The dynamic ergonomic surface system also includes a sensor system that detects events triggering the transition between states, and a controller that controls the ergonomic surface to transition between the states in response to the detected events.

A vehicle transfer assistance system includes an adjustment position acquisition unit configured to acquire an adjustment position of a seat element set in a boarded vehicle boarded by a user, a specific distance calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the acquired adjustment position, a predetermined specific distance around a seat of the boarded vehicle formed by the seat element, the specific distance being associated with a physical feature of the user sitting on the seat,

a specific distance storing unit configured to store the user and the specific distance in association with each other, and a converted adjustment position calculation unit configured to calculate a converted adjustment position that is the adjustment position of the seat element for reproducing the specific distance in a transfer vehicle different from the boarded vehicle when the user boards on the transfer vehicle.
