Title: Control of a seating arrangement
Inventor: NIGEL ROSE
IPC: B64D11/06
Filed: 2017-12-18
Abstract: A method of controlling a deployable calf rest 27 of a rear vehicle seat 18, comprising receiving a signal indicative of a state of a front seat 82 component positioned ahead of the rear seat, and controlling movement of the calf rest in dependence on the signal. The front seat component may comprise a squab 24 or seat cushion 22. The state may comprise a front seat component position or a load applied on the component, sensed with an occupancy detecting sensor. The method may comprise determining a safe position for the calf rest that avoids a collision with the front seat component, and moving the calf rest to the safe position if the applied load exceeds a threshold. The front seat may move away from the rear seat if no load is applied on the front seat, or if the load is below a threshold. A request to move the calf rest from a stowed to a deployed configuration may originate from a vehicle controller, switch device, input module or a mobile device application. Calf rest movement may be ceased if a pinch condition is detected, e.g. increased power consumption / surge in electrical current drawn is detected.
