Motor vehicle`s element e.g. seat, position detecting method, involves increasing or decreasing value of position meter according to whether actuator turns inversely or not with respect to given direction to cancel positional error

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves determining if a located movement of a linear actuator e.g. direct current motor, comes from a controlled request of the actuator or not. A value of a position meter is increased or decreased according to whether the actuator turns in the given direction or inverse direction, if the movement of the actuator comes from the request. The value of the meter is increased or decreased according to whether the actuator turns inversely or not with respect to the given direction, if the movement of the actuator does not come from the request, to cancel measured positional error. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a device for determining the position of element, comprising an electric actuator. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for detecting the position of an element (claimed) e.g. seat, rearview mirror and window regulator, of motor vehicle to provide comfort or to access rear places in the vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method increases or decreases the value of position meter according to whether the actuator turns inversely or not with respect to the given direction to cancel the positional error, thus reducing problem of divergence between actual and calculated positions of seat and reducing recalibration of the detection of the position of seat. The method detects the position of seat without modifying the software in a seat position detection system. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows an algorithm of a method for determining position of seat of motor vehicle.`(Drawing includes non-English language text)`.
