First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling a vehicle seat, the method comprising:
- determining a desired trajectory between a first position of the seat and the second position of the seat;
determining a torque to move the seat along the desired trajectory with a velocity profile along the trajectory; and
applying the torque to the seat to move the seat between the first position and a second position along the desired trajectory.

Abstract
A method of controlling a vehicle seat includes determining a trajectory between a first position of the seat and the second position of the seat, determining a torque to move the seat along the trajectory with velocity profile along the trajectory, and applying the torque to the seat to move the seat between the first position and a second position along the trajectory.

7. A method of controlling a vehicle seat, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request to move the seat from a first position to a second position; sensing a position corresponding to an actual position of the seat; determining a trajectory between the first position and the second position, the trajectory comprising a plurality of seat positions; determining a torque to move the seat from the first position along the trajectory toward the second position based on any difference between the sensed position and a one of the plurality of seat positions along the trajectory corresponding to the sensed position; and applying the torque to the seat to move the seat. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A control system for a vehicle seat comprising:
-
at least one sensor configured to provide a sensed position corresponding to an actual seat position; a main controller configured to receive a request for a second seat position different from a first seat position, the controller configured to determine a trajectory for the seat between the first seat position and the second seat position; and wherein the main controller is configured to determine a torque to move the seat along the trajectory toward the second seat position based on any difference between the sensed position and a seat position along the trajectory corresponding to the sensed position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A vehicle seat comprising:
-
a seat comprising at least one moveable part and configured to be moveable between a plurality of seat positions; at least one sensor configured to provide a sensed position corresponding to an actual seat position; an actuator coupled to the at least one moveable part and configured to move the seat between the plurality of seat positions; and a main controller configured to receive a request for a second seat position different from a first seat position, the controller configured to determine a trajectory for the seat between the first seat position and the second seat position; wherein the main controller is configured to operate the actuator to move the seat along the trajectory toward the second seat position based on any difference between the sensed position and a seat position along the trajectory corresponding to the sensed position. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
