To propose a new value for a seat, a seat system which can make notification of advertising information fit for an occupant seated on the seat with a sensor included therein is provided. The seat system includes: a seat which includes a seat body, and a sensor provided in the seat body and configured to acquire information for use in identifying a physical state of an occupant seated on the seat body; a server having pieces of advertising information stored therein; and a terminal capable of acquiring the information from the sensor and communicating with the server. The terminal or the server is configured to choose, based on the information or an evaluation value based on the information, a piece of advertising information related to the information or the evaluation value from among the pieces of advertising information, and notify the occupant of the piece of advertising information.

Seat system

An in-seat experience system includes: a seat which includes a seat body, a sensor, and a seat controller allowed to acquire a measurement value from the sensor; an experience instruction device connected to the seat controller, configured to notify an occupant seated on the seat body a motion instruction and to store user identification information; and a server capable of communicating with the experience instruction device. The experience instruction device makes a determination based upon a measurement value of the sensor as to whether or not a first condition is satisfied, and to transmit a result of the determination to the server when at least the first condition is satisfied, and the server is allowed to increase a point score stored for the corresponding user identification information with a condition that the result of the determination that the first condition is satisfied is received from the experience instruction device.

In-seat experience system

A seat includes a seat body and a sensor configured to acquired information on an occupant seated on the seat body. The seat includes a coating as a location marker that marks a location of the sensor to render the location visually recognizable from outside the seat body.

Seat

Disclosed is a seat including: sensors which includes a first cushion sensor provided at a seat cushion in a position corresponding to buttocks of an occupant, a second cushion sensor provided at the seat cushion and located farther frontward than the first cushion sensor, a first back sensor provided at a seat back and located in a lower position thereof, and a second back sensor provided at the seat back and located above the first back sensor; and a controller connected to the sensors and thereby allowed to acquire pressure values from the respective sensors. The controller is configured to identify the motion of the occupant based on outputs of at least two sensors of the first cushion sensor, the second cushion sensor, the first back sensor, and the second back sensor.

A seat system includes a seat including a sensor configured to acquire information for detection of a motion of an occupant seated on a seat body, a terminal device configured to acquire the information from the sensor, and a server capable of communicating with the terminal device. The terminal device executes a game using the sensor based on the information, and acquires an execution result corresponding to the occupant for a game played by the occupant. The server generates integrated data by integrating execution results of the game acquired from another terminal device, and computes a reference value for execution results of the game based on the integrated data. The terminal device or the server assigns a difficulty level of the game for the terminal device based on the execution result corresponding to the occupant and the reference value. The terminal device reflects the difficulty level on the game.

Seat system and seat experience device

To provide a seat system that allows the information of the user seated in the seat to be acquired by another user, a seat system includes: a seat main body; at least one sensor provided in the seat main body; a control device for processing a signal from the sensor; and a first user interface communicating with the control device and notifying information based on a signal from the control device. Preferably, the sensor acquires information obtained from a seated person who is seated on the seat main body. Preferably, the seat system includes a camera for capturing an image of the seated person who is seated on the seat main body, and the control device causes the first user interface to display the image captured by the camera.

Seat system with sensor and user interface

A seat experience system that allows an occupant to grasp the state of the system and feel secure about using the system is provided. In the seat experience system, a seat includes a seat body, and a sensor provided at the seat body and configured to acquire a measurement value for detection of a motion of the occupant seated on the seat body. A controller is connected to the sensor and capable of acquiring the measurement value from the sensor, and a seat experience device is connected to the controller and operable based on the measurement value. The seat experience device may be capable of communicating with a server. If the seat experience device detects a malfunction of the seat experience system, the seat experience device notifies the occupant of the malfunction and limits at least a subset of functions of the seat experience system.

Seat experience system, seat unit and car

To provide a sensor unit that can be easily attached to and detached from a seat in which a seated occupant is seated, and a seat equipped with a sensor unit. A sensor unit includes a sensor module including a biological sensor that detects a biological signal of a seated occupant, and a wireless communication unit that is connected to the biological sensor to wirelessly transmit the detected biological signal to an outside; and a sensor holder that holds the sensor module. The sensor holder includes a seat attachment portion detachably attached to an attached portion that is provided in a front surface of a seat cushion at a position at which the seated occupant is abuttable against the attached portion.

Sensor unit, and seat equipped with sensor unit

The time required to complete current-to-target state transitions of a plurality of movable portions constituting a seat is shortened. A seat unitincludes an occupant support portion S, a plurality of movable mechanisms respectively moving a plurality of parts constituting the occupant support portion S, and an ECUcontrolling respective operations of the plurality of movable mechanisms. The ECUcauses each of the plurality of movable mechanisms to undergo a transition from a current state to a target state and the plurality of movable mechanisms have a first movable mechanism requiring a longest time for the transition. The ECUcauses the transitions of the plurality of movable mechanisms other than the first movable mechanism to be completed by completion of the transition of the first movable mechanism from the current state to the target state.
