System and method for positioning a vehicle operator
First Claim
1. An automatic positioning system for a vehicle operator comprising:
- an operator'"'"'s seat;
an input device adapted to produce at least one input signal based on at least one biometric parameter;
at least one processing element connected with said input device and adapted to process said at least one input signal based on a performance driving position to produce at least one output signal; and
wherein said at least one output signal includes at least one control signal adapted to move said operator'"'"'s seat.

Abstract
Systems and methods for placing a vehicle operator into an performance driving position for a particular vehicle by adjusting equipment on the vehicle based on various combinations of biometric parameters of the vehicle operator. In one embodiment, the performance driving position for a particular vehicle is first determined and is stored in a processing device or associated memory. The vehicle operator may enter required biometric parameters into an input device operably connected to the processing device, which in turn calculates the vehicle operator'"'"'s present location and any movement of the seating elements, controls, and set forth necessary to place the vehicle operator in an performance driving position. The processing device then sends one or more output signals to one or more motors associated with one or more seating elements or controls to adjust such equipment and place the operator in the performance driving position.
