[0060] As mentioned in the background technology section, in the fierce competition in the current automobile market, the intelligent adjustment technology of the third row of seats has become an important area for major OEMs to compete to demonstrate their strength and innovation capabilities. Behind this trend is the continuous improvement of consumers' requirements for vehicle comfort and convenience. With the diversification of family travel needs, models with three-row seat layouts are increasingly favored by consumers, and the control convenience and problem-solving ability of the third row of seats are directly related to the user's actual experience.

[0061] In the process of implementing the present invention, the applicant found that the traditional manual adjustment method, although it meets the basic needs of seat adjustment to a certain extent, has increasingly prominent problems of cumbersome operation and low efficiency. In particular, in models with multi-row seat layouts, the third row of seats is often particularly difficult to adjust manually due to space limitations. This not only affects the user's riding experience, but also limits the flexibility and convenience of the vehicle in actual use.

[0062] For this reason, the present invention provides a distributed seat control system, an electric-controlled seat and a vehicle, which realizes electric adjustment and folding of the seat by setting a front and rear operation switch on the trunk body panel and the front body panel of the seat. This not only optimizes the operating space, but also enables users standing behind the trunk to operate easily, thus improving user experience and convenience of operation.

[0063] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0085] When the user performs a touch operation on the third touch mark 6023, a second folding instruction is generated. When the user performs a touch operation on the fourth touch mark 6024, a second flipping instruction is generated. Similarly, the user can fold only the first seat back 1011 in a direction close to the first seat cushion 1012, or only fold the second seat back 1021 in a direction close to the second seat cushion 1022 through the touch operation of the third touch mark 6023. The user can flip only the first seat back 1011 in a direction away from the first seat cushion 1012, or only flip only the second seat back 1021 in a direction away from the second seat cushion 1022 through the touch operation of the fourth touch mark 6024. This design provides higher flexibility and personalized choices.

[0086] The first touch marker 6021, the second touch marker 6022, the third touch marker 6023, and the fourth touch marker 6024, etc., mentioned above, all refer to virtual keys, which realize key functions through images or capacitive sensors on the touch screen. When the user touches the virtual key on the screen with a finger, the touch sensor detects the change in current, which is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the processor. The processor determines the user's operation intention by calculating the touch position and pressure, and performs the corresponding operation. Virtual keys do not have a clear physical form, they are just images or icons displayed on the touch screen. Users need to locate and operate these keys through visual recognition. Since there is no feedback from physical keys, the touch of virtual keys usually relies on the tactile feedback technology of the screen (such as vibration feedback) to simulate the touch of the keys.
