摘要:
A single high-frequency transmitter emits radiation in a vehicle (1) comprising several seats (2), said high-frequency radiation being reflected depending on whether a seat is occupied, transmitted to a receiver and evaluated with regard to the radiation intensity. In addition, the reliability of the identification is increased, even when the occupant is out of position, by the provision of at least one reflector (9) per seat in or on an allocated seat-belt (6).
摘要:
Disclosed is a device comprising a transceiver (9) which transmits HF signals that are reflected back by means of reflectors (6) located in the seats. Diagnostic reflectors (10) are disposed at the edge of the seats in order to diagnose the reflectors (6). Said diagnostic reflectors (10) are disposed such that the diagnostic reflectors are normally not covered up by a person (1) sitting on a seat (2). The diagnosis is carried out at the same time as the person is identified.
摘要:
The position and the weight of a person, in particular a person on a motor vehicle seat, is determined. Reflectors are used to reflect electromagnetic radiation from a transceiver. The attenuation of the sensor reflector radiation enables a report on the seat position of a person in the radiation path. An antenna of each sensor reflector is connected to an electrical load assigned thereto, which is dependent on the weight of the person acting upon it. Depending on this weight, weight information about the person is superimposed by the load onto the reflected sensor reflector signal. The reflected sensor reflector signal is received by the transceiver and fed to the evaluation unit after a signal pre-processing, which enables the weight information of the person to be evaluated.
摘要:
A classifying seat occupancy detection device is used to classify whether a particular seat is occupied by an adult, an infant or not at all. Depending on the classification the door lock assigned to the seat is automatically switched either to a childproof mode or to a non-childproof mode, without the vehicle driver having to do anything.
摘要:
In a method for self-diagnosis of a system for seat occupancy detection, in particular for self-diagnosis of a HOBBIT system, a self-diagnosis signal that has been modulated in a predetermined manner is transmitted by the transmit unit to the receive unit of the base station and analyzed, preferably with the reflectors deactivated. From the analysis it is possible to make deductions about the operational integrity of the base station.
摘要:
A seat occupancy detection device contains at least one transmitting apparatus and at least one receiving apparatus located at a position in a seat which position is distanced from the at least one transmitting apparatus such that a person occupying the seat will be situated at least partially in the signal path between the at least one transmitting apparatus and the at least one receiving apparatus for influencing the signals as a function of seat occupancy. In this manner, occupancy of the seat is effectively detected.
摘要:
A method and device for evaluating a number of reflector responses of a system for detecting the occupancy of a seat. Decision values are determined from reflector responses of different areas of a seat according to determination rules assigned to the individual areas. The decision values are classified according to a threshold value rule in order to determine an evaluation result.
摘要:
A method determines reference values that are used for calculating the damping thickness d in a seat occupancy recognition system. Several reflector answer empty values are initially measured for an unoccupied seat, the empty values being, for example, allocated, respectively to a predetermined seat position of the seat and a specific reception antenna. A reflector answer reference value allocated to a seat reflector or the seat is determined with the aid of a predetermined algorithm and from the measured reflector answer empty values.
摘要:
A known PASE system is significantly improved by the addition of a LF field, which is restricted to the interior of the motor vehicle, for the purpose of achieving highly reliable differentiation between the inside and outside of the motor vehicle. A LF signal in this field, in the form of a LF ping, is used as a control signal with the function of differentiating between the area inside and outside the motor vehicle and for awakening or activating a semi-active identification transmitter CID. In preferred embodiments, the LF ping itself is preferably not used for data transmission, which continues to be handled in the GHz band, so that the system as a whole also operates very rapidly.
摘要:
The invention concerns a system for determining seat occupancy in a motor vehicle, said system comprising a microwave transmitter (10), a microwave receiver (10) and preferably a reflector (12). If a person is between those appliances, the microwave radiation is attenuated. The reflector (12) can be a backscattering device, such that the radiation received by the receiver (10) is unequivocally associated with the reflector (12). Furthermore or alternatively, the transit time of the microwaves can be measured, to be subsequently processed in combination with an analysis of the seated position of passengers. In preferred embodiments, the microwave radiation diffraction properties around an object are also used to obtain the seated position of passengers. The determination of a seat occupancy and optionally of seat occupancy mode can be advantageously used for locking or on the other hand releasing an airbag.
