Patent ID: 8710784

Claim:
A vehicle seating system for reducing user fatigue, comprising: a seat having a seat back and a seat bottom; at least one powered seat adjustment actuator to slowly move said seat back incline slowly forwards and slowly backwards between at least first seat-back position and a second seat-back position, said slow movement occurring while the vehicle is moving; a controller for automatically controlling movement of said powered seat movement actuator while the vehicle is moving; wherein said seat back is moveable by said actuator in response to said automatic controller while the vehicle is moving: (a) a first average movement frequency; and, (b) a second, higher average movement frequency; said controller adapted for receiving at least one signal based on at least one vehicle/user event while the vehicle is moving and changing said seat back movement from said first average movement frequency to said second higher average movement frequency based at least in part on said signal; at least a second powered seat adjustment actuator to slowly move said seat bottom tilt slowly up and slowly down between at least first seat-bottom position and a second seat-bottom position, said slow movement occurring while the vehicle is moving; said controller for automatically controlling movement of said second powered seat movement actuator in response to said automatic controller while the vehicle is moving; wherein said seat bottom is moveable by said actuator while the vehicle is moving: (a) a first average movement frequency from said first seat-bottom position to said second seat-bottom position and back to said first seat-bottom position; and, (b) a second, higher average movement frequency from said first seat-bottom position to said second seat-bottom position and back to said first seat-bottom position; said controller adapted for receiving at least one signal based on at least one vehicle/user event while the vehicle is moving and changing said seat bottom movement from said first average movement frequency to said second higher average movement frequency based at least in part on said signal.
