HEADREST ADJUSTING DEVICE AND METHOD OF SAME

摘要

A face image obtained by imaging a vehicle occupant by a CCD camera (10) is recorded in an image memory (140). A CPU (170) detects the position and the direction of a face of the occupant according to the face image recorded in the recording memory (140). The CPU (170) is triggered by an input from an obstacle detection sensor (60) to calculate a displacement amount and a rotation amount of a headrest (200) according to the face and the direction of the face of the occupant against the headrest (200) and the direction and the speed of the obstacle against the vehicle and adjust the position and angle of the headrest (200) by driving a motor (211).
