Adjusting system for moving a vehicle seat in a vehicle cabin
First Claim
1. A system for three dimensional movement of at least one vehicle seat arranged in a cabin-oriented, three dimensional environment including an x, y, and z coordinate system with x, y, and z directions, the system comprising:
- one or more adjustable vehicle seats each being part of an arrangement of a plurality of vehicle seats within a spatial boundary, each vehicle seat including seat components that are coupled or guided together and moveable in a predetermined number of directions;
a movement model completely describing movement sequences and movements of individual seat components and of the seat components in relation to one another, and movements of the seat components and the one or more vehicle seats within the three dimensional environment or within a group of vehicle seats;
one or more driving devices for moving and adjusting the one or more vehicle seats in the x, y, and z directions in relation to the coordinate system in a collision-free manner relative to the remaining vehicle seats and the spatial boundary; and
one or more control units for controlling the one or more driving devices, using the movement model.

Abstract
A vehicle seat, an adjusting system and a method for moving at least one vehicle seat arranged in a vehicle cabin, particularly an aircraft seat, comprising seat components that are coupled or guided together, such as a seat part, a backrest and a leg rest, the location and/or inclination of which can be adjusted by means of at least one or more adjusting units. The adjusting system allows a separation of the basic functions from driving devices, with an electronic device for collision-free movement and for adjusting custom-designed functions and facilitating the adaptation of the custom-designed functions. The movement sequences and movements of the respective individual seat components and the seat components in relation to one another and the movements of the components or seats within an environment or group of seats are accomplished by means of a movement model in a coordinate system.
