Patent Images
1. A seat control apparatus for controlling various seat moving operations in a vehicle, comprising:
- an opened/closed door state detecting switch for detectng an opened or closed door state;
a controller for allowng a seat to be rotated and inhibiting said seat from being rotated based on the detection of said opened/closed door state detecting switch;
a manipulating switch included in a key switch which is selectively actuated in a plurality mode for inputting corresponding command signals into said controller;
a first actuating member for causing said seat to be rotated in accordance with a seat rotation control signal produced by said controller;
at least a second actuating member for allowing seat moving operations exclusive of the rotation of said seat in response to a seat rotation inhibit signal produced by said controller wherein the key switch is used for rotating the seat when the open/closed door state detecting switch detects the open door state, and for performing other seat operations exclusive of the rotation of the seat when the open/closed door state detecting switch detects the closed door state.

Abstract
A seat control apparatus for adjusting a seat mounted on a vehicle by moving various parts constituting the seat comprises a switch provided on the vehicle for detecting whether a door positioned adjacent to the seat is opened or closed and a controller for producing control signals in dependence on the output of the switch. When an opened state of the door is detected, control for rotating the seat is allowed. Upon detection of the closed state of the door, the control for rotating the seat is inhibited.
