摘要 |
A method operates a seat belt system in a motor vehicle. The method uses a 3-D imaging system to determine when a tongue of the seat belt system is approaching a buckle of the seat belt system. A buckle presenter extends the buckle from a seat of the motor vehicle, toward an occupant of the motor vehicle when the 3-D imaging system determines that the tongue is approaching the buckle. |

1. A method for operating a seat belt system in a motor vehicle, comprising:
using a 3-D imaging system to determine when a tongue of the seat belt system is approaching a buckle of the seat belt system; and extending the buckle from a seat of the motor vehicle, toward an occupant of the motor vehicle when the 3-D imaging system determines that the tongue is approaching the buckle, wherein the 3-D imaging system identifies a hand of the occupant, the 3-D imaging system identifies when the hand is clasping one or more elements of the seat belt system, and the 3-D imaging system determines when the tongue is approaching the buckle by detecting that the hand of the occupant is approaching the buckle while clasping one or more elements of the seat belt system. |
