APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING A SEAT BY USING BODY PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION
First Claim
1. An apparatus for evaluating a seat by using body pressure distribution, the apparatus comprising:
- a body grid generator configured to generate body grids corresponding to body pressure data, which is measured while a driver is seated on a seat of a vehicle, based on the body pressure data and body information of the driver;
a pressure analyzer configured to divide the body grids to a plurality of body grid areas based on body areas of the body pressure data and analyze the body pressure data included in the plurality of body grid areas; and
a pressure evaluator configured to evaluate a body pressure for the seat based on the analyzed body pressure data of the plurality of body grid areas, and evaluate a hugging feeling of the driver for the seat based on the evaluated body pressure.
