VEHICLE AND METHOD OF IDENTIFYING PASSENGER OF THE SAME
First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a weight sensor disposed in a seat and sensed the weight of a passenger sitting in the seat;
a weight-keeping-exerted time measurer measuring how long the weight of the passenger sensed by the weight sensor is exerted;
a vehicle speed sensor sensing the traveling speed; and
a passenger identification unit setting the class of the seat by using the passenger'"'"'s weight sensed by the weight sensor and the weight-keeping-exerted time measured by the weight-keeping-exerted time measurer and finally fixing the set class, when the traveling speed sensed by the vehicle speed sensor is a fixed reference speed or more.

Abstract
A vehicle according to the present invention includes: a weight sensor disposed in a seat to sense the weight of a passenger sitting in the seat; a weight-keeping-exerted time measurer measuring how long the weight of the passenger sensed by the weight sensor is exerted; a vehicle speed sensor sensing the traveling speed; and a passenger identification unit setting the class of the seat by using the passenger'"'"'s weight sensed by the weight sensor and the weight-keeping-exerted time measured by the weight-keeping-exerted time measurer and finally fixing the set class, when the traveling speed sensed by the vehicle speed sensor is a fixed reference speed or more.

8. A method of identifying a passenger, comprising:
-
a first step of sensing the weight of a passenger in a seat and measuring how long the sensed passenger'"'"'s weight is exerted; a second step of setting the class of the seat by using the sensed weight of the passenger and the measured weight continuance time; and a third step of finally fixing the class set in the second step, when the traveling speed of the vehicle is higher than a fixed reference speed. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
