Abstract: When ingress intention of a passenger who is supposed to sit on a second seat is predicted, a distance between a first seat and the second seat is expanded automatically. Accordingly, taking time for access to the second seat can be avoided, thereby decreasing necessary time for having access and improving accessibility to the second seat. When a full-open mode is selected (Yes in S1); the passenger does not sit on the third-row seat (Yes in S2); the passenger does not sit on the second-row seat (Yes in S3); and a child seat is not installed on the second-row seat (Yes in S4), a second-row seat sliding motor is driven and a first-row seat driving mechanism operates. Accordingly, forward sliding of the second-row seat starts (S5), and a sliding door is driven backward to open fully.

The foregoing structure allows superposing the information about switching a phase-excitation for driving the motor onto the wiring section formed of a pair of cables, i.e. two cables, so that the information is transmitted.

Abstract: A motor controller includes a motor-position detector, a motor driver and a power cable having a pair of electric lines (two lines) which feeds power from the driver to the detector. The detector superimposes serial information about the motor-position to the power cable via windings of a transformer or a coupling capacitor. The serial information is obtained by converting parallel information about the motor-position. The serial information superimposed travels to the driver via the power cable. The driver receives the serial information via windings of the transformer or a coupling capacitor, and converts it to parallel information. The driver drives the motor according to this parallel information. The information necessary for driving the motor is superimposed to the power cable and transmitted through the power cable, so that a number of electric lines between the detector and the driver can be minimized.
