摘要:
A vehicle occupant sensing system includes a laser array that generates three beams. A first beam is directed toward an upper body zone, a second beam is directed toward a middle body zone, and a third beam is directed toward a lower body zone. A first sensor assembly receives reflection beams from the upper body zone and generates a first signal that represents a proportional amount of an occupant present in the upper body zone. A second sensor assembly receives reflection beams from the middle body zone and generates a second signal that represents a proportional amount of the occupant present in the middle body zone. A third sensor assembly receives reflection beams from the lower body zone and generates a third signal that represents a proportional amount of the occupant present in the lower body zone. The laser array and the first, second, and third sensor assemblies are all mounted within a common housing that is mounted to a vehicle structure such as an A-pillar or rear view mirror. A central processor receives the first, second, and third signals and combines the signals to generate a control signal representative of the position of the occupant within the vehicle. The control signal is used to control deployment of an airbag based on the position of the occupant within the vehicle.

A system and method of managing a digital video recorder using a user customizable television broadcast list which includes a list of a plurality of user selected television programs being displayed on a website. The television programs on the list are identified based on date and time broadcast information which are retrieved from a storage medium. The list includes television programs only to be broadcast on a particular user selected date. At least one of the user selected television programs from the list is exported to a digital video recorder (DVR) upon the user selecting the at least one user selected television program from the list. The DVR is instructed to automatically record the television programs at a predetermined date and time based on the date and time broadcast information.

Systems and methods for providing an online interactive digital media timeline are described. Users can access a library of dated content that includes television episodes, music videos, music clips, news information, movies and the like. Users are able to generate a personalized scrapbook or timeline by adding content from the library to their scrapbook or timeline. A representation of the selected content may be displayed in the scrapbook or time machine and linked to the actual content. Users can search the metadata of the content to identify content to add or the user may be presented with default content that is the most influential, top selling, and/or most discussed content. Users can also identify content to add to their scrapbook or timeline by searching content by year. The user's scrapbook and timeline can then be shared with other users, and/or analyzed to determine demographic information, personal interests and other user information to optimize advertising and product offers, make content recommendations and target specific demographic groups for online campaigns.
