Abstract:
A seat position control device for a powered or automatic seat adjusting mechanism for motor vehicles. The motor drives for the various adjustments uses a motor with a predetermined number of poles. Thus, for each revolution of a motor, a predetermined number of pulses is generated. By counting these pulses relative to a reference, the position of the seat can be determined. Within memory, a desired location setting may be registered to return the seat to that setting when desired. A commercially available microprocessor or suitable electronic components may be used as the logic and memory medium.
