  • Patent number: 12351089
    Abstract: A vehicle seat comprising at least one seat element in which at least one heating device and at least one ventilation device are provided. The vehicle seat comprises a sensor device, which has at least one temperature sensor and at least one moisture sensor. A closed-loop/open-loop control device controls the heating device and/or the ventilation device in an open-loop or closed-loop manner on the basis of the data from the sensor device with respect to the comfort parameters of temperature and/or moisture content, whereby the seat climate can be actively controlled in an open-loop or closed-loop manner.

  • Patent number: 11488425
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for representing vibrations for a vehicle, comprising a vehicle seat with an upper part and a lower part, which are mounted movably relative to each other by means of a vibration device, wherein at least a first sensor, which is adapted to detect at least one first characteristic of a first acceleration of the upper part relative to the lower part, is arranged on the upper part, and wherein at least one second sensor, which is adapted to detect at least one second characteristic of a second acceleration of the lower part relative to a subsurface of the vehicle, is arranged on the lower part, wherein a display device is arranged with a first section and a second section, in each case exhibiting a complete division into at least two, preferably three segments, wherein the size ratios of the at least two segments to one another can be updated depending on a current value of the at least one first characteristic or the at least one second characteristic.

  • Patent number: 11332040
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for seat occupancy detection, comprising a vehicle seat for a driver with an upper part and at least one suspension-damper system, wherein an acceleration sensor is arranged on the upper part and is designed to detect a characteristic of an acceleration of the upper part as a function of a time, an evaluation unit being provided which is designed to generate an evaluation of the characteristic of the acceleration and optionally to transmit a signal to a higher-level control unit, the evaluation unit also being designed to assign the evaluation to one of several states, wherein the states are selected from a group comprising an occupied state and an unoccupied state of the vehicle seat.
