Wireless vehicle seat sensor unit adapted for removable vehicle seats
First Claim
1. A vehicle seat sensor unit, comprising at least one seat occupancy sensor arrangeable at a surface of a vehicle seat, the seat occupancy sensor being configured for wirelessly communicating with a control unit to be mounted in a vehicle, characterized byat least one first seat detection sensor member and at least one second seat detection sensor member, whereinthe at least one first seat detection sensor member is arrangeable in one out of a lower vehicle seat portion and a vehicle cabin floor, and the at least one second seat detection sensor member is attachable to the other one out of the lower vehicle seat portion and the vehicle cabin floor to which the vehicle seat is fixedly mountable in a removable manner,the at least one first seat detection sensor member and the at least one second seat detection sensor member are configured to physically interact if mutually arranged within a specific distance, andthe physical interaction results in a detectable change of a status of at least one out of the at least one first seat detection sensor member and the at least one second seat detection sensor member.

Abstract
A vehicle seat sensor unit includes a seat occupancy sensor configured for wirelessly communicating with a control unit, at least one first seat detection sensor member and at least one second seat detection sensor member. The first seat detection sensor member is arrangeable in one out of a lower vehicle seat portion of a vehicle seat that is mountable in a vehicle in a removable manner, and a vehicle cabin floor, and the second seat detection sensor member is attachable to the other one of the lower vehicle seat portion and the vehicle cabin floor. The first seat detection sensor member and the second seat detection sensor member are configured to physically interact if mutually arranged within a specific distance. The physical interaction results in a detectable change of a status of at least one out of the first seat detection sensor member and the second seat detection sensor member.
