A seat control device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to, based on a selection by an occupant of a vehicle, select a video display area for displaying a video from among a plurality of video display areas provided at the vehicle, determine an adjustment amount corresponding to the determined video display area for a vehicle seat provided in the vehicle, and, via a modulation section, modulate a position and posture of the vehicle seat based on the determined adjustment amount of the vehicle seat.

Seat control device, seat control method, non-transitory recording medium

A movable body for transporting a visitor at a predetermined area includes a first display device configured to display a video on a virtual window being a display range defined on an inner surface of the movable body, and a display controller configured to partially altering a vehicle window view video which should be originally obtained from the virtual window when the virtual window is assumed to be a physical window, to generate an entertainment effect video. In an operation to generate the entertainment effect video, the display controller may partially or entirely convert a figure of a person contained in the vehicle window view video into that of a fictitious character or may convert at least one of persons contained in the vehicle window view video into an invisible form.

Movable body

A mobile unit system is lent to a user group consisting of at least one user in a park. The mobile unit system includes a first mobile unit configured to support an activity of the at least one user; and a second mobile unit configured to cooperate with the first mobile unit. The second mobile unit is smaller in size and has lower functionality than the first mobile unit. The first mobile unit has at least one of a baggage transportation function, a user transportation function, and a payment processing function.

Mobile unit system

A mobile body system for managing a mobile body that moves within a predetermined area includes a mobile body associated with a guest group including one or more guests, and a managing apparatus configured to manage an outer appearance of the mobile body. The managing apparatus includes an activity collector configured to collect activity information indicative of an activity of the guest within the predetermined area, and an outer appearance manager configured to change the outer appearance of the mobile body viewed by the guest based on the activity information collected by the activity collector.

A vehicle occupant restraint device includes: a seat cushion on which an occupant is seated; a seat back that is provided on a seat rear side of the seat cushion so as to be pivotable in a seat front-rear direction and that supports a back of the occupant; an ottoman provided on a seat front side of the seat cushion so as to be pivotable in a seat up-down direction; and a fabric restraint member that is extended in a width direction of the ottoman to restrain a lower limb including a knee of the occupant when at least the ottoman is set in a raised position and the seat back takes a comfortable posture.

Vehicle occupant restraint device

A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion including a cover, a frame and a pad, a plurality of parts of the cover being restrained to the frame and the pad; a cushion airbag device mounted in a front portion in the seat cushion and configured to inflate and deploy an airbag at a time of a frontal collision of a vehicle; and a restraint release part provided in a part of the cover positioned at at least one side in a seat front-rear direction with respect to the cushion airbag device among the plurality of parts of the cover. The restraint release part is configured to release the restraint of the part of the cover with an inflation pressure of the airbag.

Vehicle seat

A rear seat airbag module includes: an airbag; and an inflator configured to supply gas for expansion and deployment into the airbag. The rear seat airbag module is attached to a frame of a seat back of a vehicle seat, and is configured to expand and deploy the airbag to a seat rear side of the seat back. The rear seat airbag module is displaceable to the seat rear side or deformable to the seat rear side due to an easily deformable configuration, by being pressed by a back of an occupant seated on the vehicle seat, as a result of the back being sunk in the seat back due to an impact of a rear collision of a vehicle.

Rear seat airbag module and vehicle seat

A vehicle seat includes: a seat cushion in which a front panel extends between front parts of right and left side frames and a front rod extends between the front parts of the right and left side frames at a position rearward of the front panel in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle; a cushion airbag device mounted in a front part of the seat cushion and configured to inflate and deploy a cushion airbag when a frontal collision of the vehicle occurs; and a bag support fixed to the front rod, the cushion airbag being fixed to the bag support at a position rearward of the front rod in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Provided is a vehicle seat having a seat cushion, a submarine bar, an airbag main body, a bag retainer, and a transmission member. The seat cushion is shifted by a tilting mechanism or a lifting mechanism. The submarine bar is suspended across side frames. The airbag main body inflates and deploys inside the seat cushion. The bag retainer is at least partially disposed inside the airbag main body and retains an inflator. The transmission member transmits, to the submarine bar, a load that acts on the bag retainer when the airbag main body inflates and deploys in a state where the seat cushion has been shifted upward.
