Wireless Vehicle Seat Adjustment via Telecommunications Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle seat adjustment systems are complex and difficult for users to navigate, leading to suboptimal seating configurations that compromise user comfort due to multiple adjustability options and confusing control mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a telecommunications device paired with a vehicle seat's control unit for wireless information transmission, allowing users to easily input and transmit body-related information for optimal seat adjustments, including height and preferred seating positions, enabling simple and comfortable seat customization without the need for optical recordings or complex control interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple adjustment directions are provided for the vehicle seat, then the adaptability of the seat to different user needs is improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of operation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adjusts the seat based on user data from the telecommunications device without requiring manual control input. The control unit receives information about the user and autonomously configures the seat position, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex control mechanisms while maintaining multiple adjustment directions.
Solution Approach 2:
The seat adjustment is performed automatically based on pre-stored user information in the telecommunications device. The system retrieves user data and applies the appropriate seat configuration without requiring real-time user interaction, thus simplifying the operation while preserving adaptability across multiple adjustment directions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple adjustment directions are provided for the vehicle seat, then the adaptability to user needs is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to confusing controls
Solution Approach 1:
The control system operates autonomously by receiving user information from the telecommunications device and automatically configuring the seat. This eliminates the need for users to interact with complex control mechanisms, thereby maintaining high adaptability while dramatically improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The telecommunications device serves as an intermediary between the user and the seat adjustment system. Instead of directly manipulating complex seat controls, the user simply provides information through the telecommunications device, which then mediates the automatic seat configuration process.
3Device complexity
If manual control adjustment is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the time required to achieve optimal seat positioning increases
Solution Approach 1:
User information is pre-stored in the telecommunications device, enabling the system to quickly retrieve and apply the appropriate seat configuration without requiring users to manually adjust controls or spend time experimenting with different positions. This reduces seat adjustment time while keeping the control system relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the stored user information to automatically determine the optimal seat position. By receiving and processing user data, the control unit can directly configure the seat without requiring iterative manual adjustments, thus reducing the time needed to achieve optimal positioning.
