Vehicle Seat Position Control for Easier Entry and Exit

The control device stores optimal seat states (slide position, tilt angle, legrest position) in advance for different user scenarios. When a user approaches the vehicle, the system retrieves and applies the pre-stored seat configuration, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust multiple seat components and reducing the perceived complexity of the adjustment mechanism.

The seat control apparatus automatically detects user presence and intent through sensor devices, then autonomously adjusts the seat to the appropriate state without user intervention. The system self-manages the coordination of slide, tilt, and legrest adjustments, reducing the operational burden on users despite the multi-component adjustment mechanism.

The sensor device operates in periodic cycles rather than continuous monitoring. The control device activates sensors at specific moments (e.g., when vehicle ignition is on, when door is approached, or at scheduled intervals) to detect user intent and vehicle state, then enters a low-power state between measurements. This periodic operation maintains system adaptability while significantly reducing overall energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.

The system uses feedback from sensor detections to dynamically adjust monitoring intensity. When user presence is detected, the sensor device increases monitoring frequency to capture real-time intent changes. When no user is present, the system reduces monitoring to minimal periodic checks, optimizing the balance between adaptability and energy consumption based on actual operational needs.
