Patent ID: 7734396

Claim:
A driving position adjusting system, which automatically adjusts a driving position in a second vehicle appropriately to a target user based on an adjustment result of a driving position in a first vehicle adjusted by the target user, who rides in the first vehicle, the second vehicle being different in a vehicle model from the first vehicle, the driving position adjusting system comprising: a storage device for storing statistic data that indicates a ratio of users, who select one of a plurality of divided range segments of an adjustable range of the driving position in the second vehicle, and who select one of a plurality of divided range segments of an adjustable range of the driving position in the first vehicle, relative to users, who select the one of the plurality of divided range segments of the adjustable range of the driving position in the second vehicle, the ratio being one of ratios respectively given to the plurality of divided range segments of the driving position in the first vehicle in association with each of the plurality of divided range segments of the driving position in the second vehicle; a detection device for detecting a selected one of the plurality of divided range segments of the driving position in the first vehicle, the selected one being selected by the target user when the target user rides in the first vehicle; an estimation device for estimating an optimum one of the plurality of divided range segments of the driving position in the second vehicle based on the statistic data stored in the storage device and based on the selected one of the plurality of divided range segments detected by the detection device, the optimum one of the plurality of divided range segments having a highest probability of being appropriate to the target user; a transmission device for transmitting to the second vehicle the optimum one of the plurality of divided range segments of the driving position in the second vehicle estimated by the estimation device; and a control device for controlling the driving position in the second vehicle correspondingly to the optimum one of the plurality of divided range segments transmitted by the transmission device.
