Abstract
A power seat drive device () comprises a sense electrode () provided in the back portion () of a power seat (), and a controller () operative to control movement of the power seat () based on a sense signal from the sense electrode (). The controller () decelerates the speed of movement and provides a warning sound when the proximity distance between the sense electrode () and a human body () becomes short so as to exceed a decision voltage (Vth). In addition, the controller stops the movement of the power seat () when the proximity distance becomes much shorter so as to exceed a decision voltage (Vth).
