Publication number: 20230004230Abstract: An electronic device for displaying data on a display screen, the device being connectable to the display screen and to an image sensor, the image sensor being operable to capture at least two images of a user. The electronic device includes: a module for displaying data, in particular icons, on the display screen; a module for detecting, via the at least two images taken, a movement towards the screen by at least one finger of the user, and then for calculating a direction of the movement; a module for determining, from a page displayed on the screen and depending on the direction of movement, an area of the screen corresponding to the direction; and a module for controlling an enlargement of the area when the at least one finger approaches the screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventors: Nicolas PEGORIER, Fabrice AYCOBERRY

Patent number: 10752132Abstract: A deployable working surface is provided for use in a reconfigurable passenger cabin of a personal automotive vehicle. The vehicle includes a first seat that can rotate to an inwardly-rotated position. The working surface is provided by a panel that is mounted on a second seat for movement between a stowed position and a working position. This movement includes vertical movement and rotational movement about a vertical axis. When the panel is in the working position, the working surface extends in a radial direction that is perpendicular to the direction the first seat is facing when in the rotated position and is positioned higher that an occupant seating surface of the first seat and in front of a backrest of the first seat.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIOR SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Robert Fitzpatrick, Markus Uhlig, Desmond O'Regan, Matthew Benson, Fabrice Aycoberry

Patent number: 10703224Abstract: A vehicle passenger compartment that defines a vehicle interior delimited in part by a floor, the interior having at least one front row of seats that includes at least two front seats, and at least one rear row of seats that includes at least two rear seats. The front and rear rows of seats are arranged behind one another in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle passenger compartment, each front seat being rotatable around a rotation axis substantially perpendicular to the floor. Each rear seat is translatable in a transverse direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and to the rotation axis such that the rear seats can be moved away from or closer to one another in the transverse direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIEUR INDUSTRIEInventors: Eric Vanel, Fabrice Aycoberry, Thierry Devoulon

Patent number: 10675994Abstract: A vehicle seat with a seat bottom and backrest is configured for movement between a forward-facing position and an inwardly-rotated position in a reconfigurable vehicle passenger cabin. The movement includes rotation about a vertical axis located along an inboard side of the seat and a rear side of the seat bottom. The vertical axis can be located within an inboard quarter of the seat, rearward of an occupant seating surface of the seat bottom, forward or rearward of a rear side of a bottom end of the backrest, and various combinations of these locations. In addition to providing a seat occupant with additional freedom of movement within the passenger cabin, the inwardly-rotated position of the seat can also provide a safer condition for the seat occupant with respect to structural portions of the vehicle body.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIOR SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Robert Fitzpatrick, Matthew Benson, Desmond O'Regan, Markus Uhlig, Fabrice Aycoberry

Patent number: 10543794Abstract: A personal automotive vehicle includes a door with a door panel that partly defines a reconfigurable passenger cabin. The door panel presents an abrasion-resistant portion to the interior of the passenger cabin at an upper section of the door panel below the window. A seat is mounted in the passenger cabin and can be rotated inwardly to increase the available range of movement of the seat occupant. The abrasion-resistant portion of the door panel is located to prevent scuff-related damage to the door panel when the seat occupant crosses his legs. The abrasion-resistant portion of the door panel can be selectively covered and uncovered by a moveable portion of the door panel, which may include an armrest.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIOR SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Robert Fitzpatrick, Brian Dexter, Markus Uhlig, Desmond O'Regan, Matthew Benson, Fabrice Aycoberry

Patent number: 10532685Abstract: A foot rest for use in a reconfigurable passenger cabin of a personal automotive vehicle is moveable between a first position and a second position. In the second position, a resting surface of the foot rest is inclined to face toward a seat when the seat is moved away from a forward-facing position to a rotated position. In the first position, the resting surface can be level with a floor of the passer cabin, facing toward a different seat, or facing toward the same seat as in the second position. The foot rest provides stability to a seat occupant when the seat is moved into unconventional positions, such as rotated or extreme rearward positions.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIOR SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Robert Fitzpatrick, Markus Uhlig, Desmond O'Regan, Matthew Benson, Fabrice Aycoberry
