OCCUPANT DETECTING DEVICE

摘要

An occupant detecting device capable of judging the presence of an object such as an occupant or a child seat on a seat device, estimating the weight of the occupant, and judging the body size of the occupant so as to increase the serviceability of seat peripheral devices, wherein a dielectric sensor (111) and a pressure sensitive sensor (112) are installed in a seat seating part (102) and, based on the output from them, the presence of the occupant or object on the seat is detected, or the dielectric sensor and pressure sensitive sensor are installed in the seat seating part, and a dielectric sensor (113) and an angle sensor (114) to detect an angle formed between the seat seating part and a seat back rest part are installed in the seat back rest part, and the body size of the occupant is judged based on the output from them.
