Control unit for vehicle interior components

Abstract

Method for controlling vehicle interior components of a motor vehicle to influence the comfort and / or driving experience of vehicle passengers located in the vehicle interior, wherein a desired mode of the vehicle passenger is determined based on seat setting values ​​of a vehicle seat used by the vehicle passenger, whereupon at least one vehicle interior-oriented effect element (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 50, 60) is influenced independently of driving condition variables, comprising the steps: a) Recording seat setting values ​​of the vehicle seat using seat setting sensors and generating seat setting data associated with these values; b) Creating a data pattern from this seat adjustment data; c) Comparing the generated data pattern with seat adjustment data patterns stored in a data storage device; d) Identifying an identical or similar stored data pattern and a stored comfort and / or driving experience mode associated with it; e) Identifying the stored setting parameters of the at least one vehicle interior-oriented operating element (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 50, 60) associated with this comfort and / or driving experience mode and generating the control signals (S1 ... S) associated with the at least one operating element (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 50, 60). 12 ); f) Transmitting the control signals (S1 ... S 12 ) to the associated vehicle interior-oriented effect element (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 50, 60) and g) Setting the at least one operating element (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 50, 60) according to the transmitted control signals (S1 ... S 12 ).
