Abstract: A method and device for evaluating a number of reflector responses of a system for detecting the occupancy of a seat. Decision values are determined from reflector responses of different areas of a seat according to determination rules assigned to the individual areas. The decision values are classified according to a threshold value rule in order to determine an evaluation result.

Abstract: A method determines reference values that are used for calculating the damping thickness d in a seat occupancy recognition system. Several reflector answer empty values are initially measured for an unoccupied seat, the empty values being, for example, allocated, respectively to a predetermined seat position of the seat and a specific reception antenna. A reflector answer reference value allocated to a seat reflector or the seat is determined with the aid of a predetermined algorithm and from the measured reflector answer empty values.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for detecting seat occupancy in a vehicle, comprising a microwave transmitter and several reflectors which are provided with a small area and are disposed within a vehicle seat, especially within the backrest of the vehicle seat. A greater or smaller number of reflectors are enabled if a person occupying the seat leans forward, resulting in a jump in intensity each time an additional reflector is enabled. Said jumps in intensity can be used in an advantageous manner for detecting the exact position of the person on the seat. In particular, an airbag can be prevented from deploying and the risks associated therewith can be avoided when the person leans far forward. Alternatively, receivers can he disposed within the seat instead of reflectors.

Abstract: A system, for recognition of seat occupancy in a vehicle, comprises a microwave transmitter (10), a microwave receiver (10) and preferably a reflector (12). If a person is located between said objects the microwave radiation is thus weakened. A back-scatter device can be used as reflector (12), such that radiation received by the receiver (10) can be unambiguously assigned to the reflector (12). In addition or alternatively a run-time measurement for the microwave radiation can be carried out and the above further processed with an analysis of the seat position. It is possible to use the refraction properties of the microwave radiation around the object in order to obtain further information about the seat position. The recognition of whether and optionally how a seat is occupied can preferably be used for the locking or activation of an airbag.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for occupant protection in a motor vehicle and for anti-theft protection of the motor vehicle, comprising an airbag (3), which may be inflated with gas by means of a filling device, a transceiver (5), for electromagnetic waves (6) and an occupant protection analytical unit (81) connected thereto. An occupant protection interrogation unit (41) is arranged on the inflatable airbag (3), which is wirelessly interrogated by the transceiver (5). Information on the degree and/or speed of unfolding of the airbag is thus provided to the occupant protection analytical unit (81). The transceiver (5) may furthermore wirelessly interrogate a portable anti-theft interrogation unit (42), for example, a chipcard and hence provide an anti-theft analytical unit (82) with information about the authorisation of the anti-theft interrogation unit (42) and/or the separation of the anti-theft interrogation unit (42) from the transceiver (5) based on the returned signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device comprising a transceiver (9) which transmits HF signals that are reflected back by means of reflectors (6) located in the seats. Diagnostic reflectors (10) are disposed at the edge of the seats in order to diagnose the reflectors (6). Said diagnostic reflectors (10) are disposed such that the diagnostic reflectors are normally not covered up by a person (1) sitting on a seat (2). The diagnosis is carried out at the same time as the person is identified.

Abstract: The position and the weight of a person, in particular a person on a motor vehicle seat, is determined. Reflectors are used to reflect electromagnetic radiation from a transceiver. The attenuation of the sensor reflector radiation enables a report on the seat position of a person in the radiation path. An antenna of each sensor reflector is connected to an electrical load assigned thereto, which is dependent on the weight of the person acting upon it. Depending on this weight, weight information about the person is superimposed by the load onto the reflected sensor reflector signal. The reflected sensor reflector signal is received by the transceiver and fed to the evaluation unit after a signal pre-processing, which enables the weight information of the person to be evaluated.

Abstract: The invention concerns a system for determining seat occupancy in a motor vehicle, said system comprising a microwave transmitter (10), a microwave receiver (10) and preferably a reflector (12). If a person is between those appliances, the microwave radiation is attenuated. The reflector (12) can be a backscattering device, such that the radiation received by the receiver (10) is unequivocally associated with the reflector (12). Furthermore or alternatively, the transit time of the microwaves can be measured, to be subsequently processed in combination with an analysis of the seated position of passengers. In preferred embodiments, the microwave radiation diffraction properties around an object are also used to obtain the seated position of passengers. The determination of a seat occupancy and optionally of seat occupancy mode can be advantageously used for locking or on the other hand releasing an airbag.

Abstract: In a method for self-diagnosis of a system for seat occupancy detection, in particular for self-diagnosis of a HOBBIT system, a self-diagnosis signal that has been modulated in a predetermined manner is transmitted by the transmit unit to the receive unit of the base station and analyzed, preferably with the reflectors deactivated. From the analysis it is possible to make deductions about the operational integrity of the base station.

Abstract: A single high-frequency transmitter emits radiation in a vehicle (1) comprising several seats (2), said high-frequency radiation being reflected depending on whether a seat is occupied, transmitted to a receiver and evaluated with regard to the radiation intensity. In addition, the reliability of the identification is increased, even when the occupant is out of position, by the provision of at least one reflector (9) per seat in or on an allocated seat-belt (6).
