Embodiment Construction

[0030] first with the help of figure 1 The basic judgment in the optimal side support algorithm is described.

[0031] An electronic control unit in the car uses, for example, a navigation system to calculate the most likely route the car will take during its drive. This mode is activated when the seat sensor recognizes that an adaptable vehicle seat is occupied.

[0032] In the middle position where the side support seat bolsters are not inflated, when the most probable road after a straight road is identified as a right turn, the occupants are only supported on the left side and the corresponding seat bolsters are deflated at the end of the curve .

[0033] When it is recognized that the most likely path after a straight section is a left turn, the occupants are only supported on the right side and the corresponding seat bolsters are deflated at the end of the bend.

[0034] When it is recognized that the most likely road after a straight road is, for example, an S-curve,...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the dynamic adaptation of body support for a person seated in an adaptive vehicle seat based on the current speed and the storage data about the current road direction. According to the invention, comfortableness can be improved and the attention on the traffic situation can be distracted as less as possible. A path that is most likely to be driven along by a vehicle is predicted in the driving process. A body support suitable for the path predicted to be most likely driven can be adapted when a vehicle is passing a curve with the tail end being shorter than the predicted path.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for dynamically adjusting the body support of a vehicle seat occupant according to the general terms of the independent claims, based on the current vehicle speed and stored data about the current course of the road, and a device for carrying out the method. Background technique [0002] Vehicle seats are generally divided into two types: sports type and comfort type, the difference mainly lies in the side support. There are also seats with side supports that can be dynamically switched from comfortable to sporty depending on the driving situation. [0003] Patents DE 35 41 537 A1 and DE 197 50 223 A1 disclose a dynamically adjustable vehicle seat with an inflatable and deflated seat back for supporting the occupant's body, the adjustment of the seat back inflation being dependent on The driving speed, the angle of rotation of the steering wheel, the magnitude of the lateral acceleration and inclination of the vehicle...
