3D Cockpit Adjustment for Posture-Accurate Seat Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cockpit adjustment methods require users to repeatedly perform operations on hardware devices, increasing operation difficulty and affecting user experience, and often result in inaccurate adjustments that compromise safety and comfort due to changes in user posture.
Innovation Solution
A cockpit adjustment method that utilizes three-dimensional spatial position information to accurately adjust seat and component settings based on user body size and posture, ensuring adjustments are made once and maintained without subsequent re-adjustment, thereby improving user experience and meeting safety and comfort requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual adjustment operations are performed on physical buttons or controls, then the user can adjust hardware devices, but the user needs to repeatedly perform operations multiple times which increases operation difficulty and complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adjusts cockpit components based on user profile and real-time detection data without requiring manual operations. The adjustment execution module autonomously controls actuators to position seats, steering wheels, and mirrors, eliminating the need for users to repeatedly operate physical buttons or controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment operations with an automated electronic control system. Sensors detect user characteristics and component positions, processors calculate optimal settings, and actuators execute adjustments, substituting the mechanical button-pressing process with an integrated electromechanical automation system.
2Measurement precision
If manual adjustment operations are performed on physical buttons or controls, then the user can adjust hardware devices, but the adjustment accuracy is affected due to repeated operations and posture changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors component positions through sensors and compares them with target positions calculated from user profile data. The adjustment execution module makes real-time corrections based on this feedback loop, ensuring accurate positioning of seats, steering wheels, and mirrors while adapting to any posture changes during the adjustment process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-calculates optimal adjustment parameters based on stored user profile information before actual adjustment begins. This preliminary calculation of target positions allows the system to execute precise adjustments in one coordinated operation rather than through multiple trial operations, improving both accuracy and efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If seat adjustment is performed first, then adjustable component adjustment can be based on updated spatial position information, but this requires a sequential adjustment process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates seat adjustment and component adjustment into a single coordinated process. The adjustment execution module simultaneously controls actuators for seats, steering wheels, and mirrors based on a unified set of target positions calculated from the user profile, merging multiple adjustment operations into one synchronized action rather than sequential steps.

AI summary
A cockpit adjustment method and apparatus, a chip, and a vehicle are disclosed. In the cockpit adjustment method, a seat setting item may be first adjusted based on three-dimensional spatial position information obtained after a user sits on a seat, to ensure that a height, a position, an angle, and the like of the seat meet a comfort requirement and a safety requirement of the user during driving. After the seat setting item is adjusted, three-dimensional spatial information of the user in a current seat state is re-obtained. Then a setting item of another adjustable component is further adjusted based on the re-obtained three-dimensional spatial information of the user, to ensure that a position, an angle, a height, a size, and the like of the another adjustable component can meet a comfort requirement and a safety requirement of the user during driving.
