SEAT WEIGHT DETECTING SUBSYSTEM
First Claim
1. A seat weight detecting subsystem provided for each seat in a vehicle and for outputting weight detection data which is necessary for a processing operation of an ECU in a main system, the seat weight detecting subsystem comprising:
- a plurality of weight detecting sensors; and
a power supplying member that is connected to a power supply,wherein the power supplying member includes;
a FPC which has circuits forming desired routes, and is formed so as to have a size which corresponds to at least arrangements of all of the plurality of weight detecting sensors on the seat in the vehicle; and
a seat side ECU functional portion having;
sensor connecting sections which serve as connecting portions of the plurality of weight detecting sensors at the corresponding arrangements;
a signal receiving section which receives sensor signals from the weight detecting sensors through the sensor connecting sections;
a data generating section which generates the weight detection data based on the received sensor signals; and
a data outputting section as a portion which outputs the generated weight detection data to the ECU; and
wherein the seat side ECU functional portion is mounted to a specified position on the circuits of the FPC.

Abstract
It is provided a subsystem for seat weight detection, the configuration of which enables improved assemblability and economization of space in layout. A seat weight detecting subsystem is provided for each seat 7 mounted inside a vehicle. Each seat weight detecting subsystem 4 includes weight detection sensors 8 which are installed in a seat 7, and a power supplying member 9 which is connected to the weight detecting sensors 8, a power supply 5, an ECU 3 and the like. The power supplying member 9 is provided with an FPC 10 and a seat side ECU functional portion 11 that is integratedly attached to the FPC 10. The seat-side ECU functional portion 11 includes sensor connecting sections 13, a signal receiving section 14, a data generating section 15, and a data outputting section 16.
