On-Vehicle Position Detection System
First Claim
1. An on-vehicle position detection system, comprising:
- a radiation emitting device for producing at least one beam which is appropriate to be reflected by a human body seated in the vehicle;
a sensor device configured for detecting reflection of the at least one beam produced by the radiation emitting device and reflected by the human body, and for generating an output signal responsive to a reflection state of the at least one beam; and
a control device coupled with the sensor device, the control device configured for receiving the output signal from the sensor device, and for determining whether the output signal corresponds with a first value indicative of a first position of the human body, or a second value which is different from the first value;
wherein the control device is further configured for generating a control signal to be provided to a device to be controlled having at least one operation mode capable of providing different functions, the control signal adapted for switching on, switching off, or changing at least one of the functions of the operation mode when the control device determines that the output signal corresponds with the second value.

Abstract
An on-vehicle position detection system includes a radiation emitting device for producing at least one beam which is appropriate to be reflected by a human body seated in the vehicle, a sensor device adapted for detecting the reflection of the at least one beam produced by the radiation emitting device and reflected by the human body, and for generating an output signal responsive to a reflection state of the at least one beam. A control device is coupled with the sensor device and is adapted for determining whether the output signal corresponds with a first value indicative of a first position of the human body, or a second value which is different from the first value and indicative of a second position of the human body. The control device is further adapted for switching on, switching off, or changing at least one of the functions of the operation mode of a device to be controlled when the control device determines that the output signal corresponds with the second value.
