OCCUPANT PROTECTION CONTROL SYSTEM, STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM, AND VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An occupant protection control system comprising:
- a crash sensing component that senses an occurrence of a crash of a vehicle, including a crash type;
a detecting component that detects a current seat state, including a predetermined normal state, of a seat whose state can be changed from the normal state;
plural types of occupant protection devices that are disposed according to crash type and protect, according to crash type, an occupant seated in the seat; and
a control component that, on the basis of a detection result of the detecting component and a sensing result of the crash sensing component, controls the plural types of occupant protection devices in such a way that, among the plural types of occupant protection devices, the control component operates occupant protection devices that are necessary to protect the occupant and prohibits operation of occupant protection devices that are not necessary to protect the occupant.

6. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program executable by a processor to perform an occupant protection control process, the process comprising:
-
sensing an occurrence of a crash of a vehicle, including a crash type; detecting a current seat state, including a predetermined normal state, of a seat whose state can be changed from the normal state; and on the basis of a result of sensing the occurrence of a crash of the vehicle and a result of detecting the current seat state, controlling plural types of occupant protection devices in such a way that, among the plural types of occupant protection devices, the occupant protection control process operates occupant protection devices that are necessary to protect an occupant seated in the seat and prohibits operation of occupant protection devices that are not necessary to protect the occupant seated in the seat, wherein the plural types of occupant protection devices are disposed according to crash type and protect, according to crash type, the occupant seated in the seat. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 6, wherein; whether or not operation of each of the plural types of occupant protection devices is necessary is predetermined according to the seat state, and in accordance with the seat state that has been detected, the occupant protection control process controls the plural types of occupant protection devices in such a way that the occupant protection control process prohibits the operation of the occupant protection devices that are not necessary to operate among the plural types of occupant protection devices and, in a case where the occurrence of a crash of the vehicle has been sensed, the occupant protection control process operates the occupant protection devices according to crash type among the occupant protection devices that are not prohibited from operating. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. An occupant protection control method, comprising, via a processor:
-
sensing an occurrence of a crash of a vehicle including crash type; detecting a current seat state, including a predetermined normal state, of a seat whose state can be changed from the normal state; and on the basis of a result of sensing the occurrence of a crash of the vehicle and a result of detecting the current seat state, controlling plural types of occupant protection devices in such a way that, among the plural types of occupant protection devices, the processor operates occupant protection devices that are necessary to protect an occupant seated in the seat and prohibits operation of occupant protection devices that are not necessary to protect the occupant seated in the seat, wherein the plural types of occupant protection devices are disposed according to crash type and protect, according to crash type, the occupant seated in the seat. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
