Vehicle seat
First Claim
1. A vehicle seat comprising:
- at least one electrically powered functional member comprising;
an active element adapted to perform a unique elemental function;
a local control unit for controlling the active element of the at least one functional member from commands;
receiving means for receiving commands, said receiving means being incorporated into the at least one functional member; and
means for collecting operational status data from the at least one functional member; and
a communication bus, to which the receiving means of the at least one functional member is directly connected, for transmitting commands, the at least one said functional member comprising operational status data transmission means and said data transmission means being connected to the communication bus for transmitting operational status data on the communication bus.

Abstract
The vehicle seat (10) comprises at least one electrically powered functional member (24, 26, 28, 30, 31, 32, 34, 38). This functional member comprises an active element (24E, 26E, 28E, 30E, 31E, 32E, 34E) designed to perform a unique elemental function; a local control unit (24D, 26D, 28D, 30D, 31D, 32D, 34D) for controlling an active element (24E, 26E, 28E, 30E, 31E, 32E, 34E); units (24B, 26B, 28B, 30B, 31B, 32B, 34B) of receiving commands; and units (24F, 26F, 28F, 30F, 31F, 32F, 34F, 38F) for collecting operational status data from the functional member (24, 26, 28, 30, 31, 32, 34). The seat comprises a communication bus (42) to which each of the receiving units (24B, 26B, 28B, 30B, 31B, 32B, 34B). At least one functional member comprises operational status data transmission units (24C, 26C, 28C, 30C, 31C, 32C, 34C) which transmission units (24C, 26C, 28C, 30C, 31C, 32C, 34C) are incorporated into the functional member (24, 26, 28, 30, 31, 32, 34) and are each directly connected to the communication bus (42) for transmitting operational status data on the communication bus (42).
