Abstract
A method for discriminating input to a sensing algorithm used with an occupancy classification system includes generating a series of sensor signals from a sensor array. The method further includes generating a sensor signal from a belt tension sensor and generating a pattern recognition algorithm as a function of: the series of sensor signals from the sensor array and the sensor signal from the belt tension sensor.

12. A method for discriminating input to a sensing algorithm used with the output of a sensor array and a seatbelt tension sensor for a vehicle seat occupancy sensing system used with a neural net for occupancy classification, said method including the steps of:
- buckling at least one of a passenger and a safety seat into a particular vehicle seat with a seatbelt;
generating a series of sensor response signals from the sensor array and the belt tension sensor in response to pressure on said vehicle seat and tension on said seatbelt;
comparing each sensor response signal through the neural net; and
generating a classification signal in said neural net as a function of said response signals indicating that said tension on said seatbelt exceeds a predetermined threshold, and therefore said safety seat occupies said vehicle seat. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
