Vehicle Seat Position Control Within Airbag Protection Range
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle seats lack restrictions during adjustment, posing safety risks to passengers, especially during high-speed driving, rapid acceleration/deceleration, or steep slopes.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle seat controller that acquires the seat's state and adjusts its position within the safety system's protection range, considering factors like speed, acceleration, and inclination to ensure passenger safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the vehicle seat is provided with a relatively long adjustment range to facilitate passenger use, then the ease of operation is improved, but the safety of the passenger deteriorates when the seat is adjusted outside the safety protection range
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the adjustable range of the vehicle seat based on vehicle operating parameters (speed, acceleration, inclination). When the vehicle is in safe operating conditions, the seat allows full adjustment range. When hazardous conditions are detected (high speed, rapid acceleration/deceleration, steep slopes), the system restricts the seat adjustment to within the safety protection range, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and safety
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback control by continuously monitoring vehicle operating parameters (speed, acceleration, inclination) and using this information to control the seat adjustment mechanism. The controller receives feedback from sensors about vehicle state and adjusts the permitted seat movement range accordingly, ensuring the seat remains within safe boundaries while allowing maximum flexibility when conditions permit
2Ease of operation
If the vehicle seat allows free adjustment during high-speed driving or rapid acceleration, then the ease of operation is improved, but the safety of the passenger deteriorates due to loss of control during adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the operational parameters of the seat adjustment mechanism based on vehicle dynamic conditions. During high-speed driving or rapid acceleration, the controller detects these parameters and restricts the seat adjustment range to prevent loss of control. This dynamic parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by allowing free adjustment only when vehicle parameters indicate safe operating conditions

AI summary
Disclosed are a method and system for controlling a vehicle seat, an application, and a computer device. The method for controlling a vehicle seat comprises: acquiring a state of the vehicle seat; and selectively adjusting the position of the vehicle seat according to the state of the vehicle seat. Since a safety system can effectively protect the safety of a passenger only when the vehicle seat is adjusted within a protection range of the safety system, a vehicle seat controller must ensure that the vehicle seat is adjusted within the protection range of the safety system. Moreover, if an operating state of a vehicle is likely to cause the vehicle seat to lose control during an adjustment process, the vehicle seat also cannot be adjusted.
