Description

The invention relates to a system for increasing the travel comfort of at least one occupant in a vehicle, in particular for suppressing symptoms of kinetosis, wherein the system comprises at least one vehicle seat which is arranged in a vehicle interior, wherein the system comprises at least one sensor device which at least one Sensor parameters recorded.

In vehicles that are used to transport people, for example cars, more and more attention is being paid to the comfort of travel offered. The time spent in a vehicle should be made as comfortable as possible for the occupant. For some people, however, travel or motion sickness represents a major impairment of travel comfort , can be triggered. Motion sickness symptoms occur when the central nervous system receives conflicting messages from the sense organs. Accordingly, the inner ear, the eyes, the skin pressure receptors and the muscle and joint-sensitive receptors report contradicting information. Around a third of the population is prone to motion sickness. Those who remain can also suffer from motion sickness in extreme conditions.

However, traveling in cities with tight curve radii under automated conditions is considered an extreme condition. Also, fixation on the surroundings other than the road is considered an extreme condition. After all, low-frequency vibrations (<0.4 Hz) with high amplitudes are more likely to cause the symptoms of motion sickness than frequencies in the range> 1 Hz ( Andreas Koch, Ingolf Cascorbi, Martin Westhofen, Manuel Dafotakis, Sebastian Klapa, Johann Peter Kuhtz-Buschbeck: "The Neurophysiology and Treatment of Motion Sickness" Dtsch Arztebl Int. 2018 Oct; 115 (41): 687-996. Published online 2018 Oct 12. doi: 10.3238 / arztebl.2018.0687) .

In vehicles that support autonomous driving, the aspect of travel comfort is even more important, since the occupant or driver is not or only little occupied with controlling the vehicle and thus wants to make the journey as comfortable as possible. Autonomous driving is also called automatic driving, automated driving and is defined as the movement of vehicles that behave largely autonomously. It is usually divided into different levels of autonomy (0-5). With autonomy level 0, the driver operates the vehicle himself. As the autonomy level increases, the driver's interaction with the vehicle decreases. In autonomy level 5, driving is fully automated. No driver is required. There is also no longer talk of a driver, but of a supervisor, also known as "drissenger". No human intervention is required other than setting the destination and starting the system.

In such autonomously driving vehicles, the occupants have increased demands in terms of comfort. When people interact with a product, they perceive it through sensory information on several channels at the same time. The experience of comfort in this interaction is the result of the internal human calculation of this sensory input to a holistic impression in a fluid process over the interaction time. Comfort is only achieved when all aspects of the product are able to achieve a good level. Humans calculate this holistic interaction assessment with little conscious effort and usually with little awareness of its components. However, when one aspect moves into the focus of the user and prevails in the overall impression, it dominates the comfort rating. This can happen in both directions: The negative event was referred to as the “limiting comfort factor”, which means that the holistic comfort experience cannot be better than its weakest aspect. The positive event can be described as the “wow factor” of a product that exceeds the expectations of the user.

The object of the present invention is accordingly to provide a system for increasing the travel comfort of at least one occupant in a vehicle.

This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. The subclaims represent possible advantageous embodiments.

The system according to the invention is suitable and provided for increasing the travel comfort of at least one occupant in a vehicle, in particular for suppressing symptoms of kinetosis, the system comprising at least one vehicle seat which is arranged in a vehicle interior, the system comprising at least one sensor device, which detects at least one sensor parameter, the system comprising at least one first control device by means of which at least one comfort device can be controlled directly or indirectly in order to modify at least one comfort parameter, wherein the comfort parameter can be modified at least on the basis of the at least one sensor parameter, at least one comfort device being designed as a vehicle seat adjustment device of the at least one vehicle seat, the modifiable comfort parameters including suspension parameters and / or damping parameters of the vehicle seat.

The system can accordingly modify comfort parameters that influence the passenger's perception of comfort. This modification takes place on the one hand on the basis of at least one sensor parameter which is supplied to the control device by the at least one sensor device. However, the modification can also take place on the basis of other control signals or inputs. The modification based on the at least one sensor parameter has the advantage that comfort parameters are automatically modified by the first control device. The present invention can therefore serve both to suppress motion sickness and to optimize the perception of a feeling of comfort. By modifying the comfort parameters, suspension parameters and / or damping parameters, the low-frequency vibrations that act on the driver as a result of vehicle movement can be reduced. This avoids the mismatch between visual and vestibular human sensors, which have been defined as a major cause / effect of kinetosis.

The first control device advantageously compares the at least one sensor parameter with at least one predefined setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range. The modification of the at least one comfort parameter, or the activation of the at least one comfort device, is advantageously carried out in the event of a deviation or an overshoot or undershoot of the setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range. Corresponding countermeasures can thus be initiated automatically by the control device even before a deterioration in the comfort experience is perceived. The at least one setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range can advantageously be stored in a memory device. The memory device can preferably be connected to the first control device in terms of signaling. It would also be conceivable for the first control device to call up the at least one setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range from an external memory device.

In the case of direct activation, the control device would send corresponding control signals to the convenience device. In the case of indirect control, at least one further control device is provided which controls the comfort device. The first control device would send the corresponding commands for modifying the comfort parameters to this at least one further control device, whereupon it activates the comfort device or also further subordinate control devices.

One possible factor that promotes motion sickness is the force applied to the occupant. Such forces can, for example, be lateral forces caused by cornering or lane changes. Further forces acting on the body can cause positive or negative acceleration of the vehicle. Finally, vibrations of the vehicle due to unevenness in the roadway can transmit a corresponding force to the occupants. Corresponding countermeasures in the form of a modification of the comfort parameters, suspension parameters and / or damping parameters can be carried out automatically by the vehicle seat adjustment device.

According to a preferred embodiment, the vehicle seat adjustment device comprises at least one multiaxial suspension / damping module, by means of which the suspension parameters and / or the damping parameters of the vehicle seat can be actively or semi-actively controlled and / or regulated. A first suspension / damping module is preferably provided, by means of which vertical oscillations, vibrations or deflections of the vehicle seat can be sprung and / or damped. A second suspension / damping module is preferably provided, by means of which horizontal oscillations, vibrations or deflections of the vehicle seat can be sprung and / or damped. The first and / or the second suspension / damping module and / or a third suspension / damping module is preferably provided in order to cushion and / or dampen rotational deflections, rotational oscillations or rotational vibrations. Such rotational deflections, rotational oscillations or rotary vibrations arise, for example, from rolling movements, ie deflections, oscillations or vibrations about an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and / or the vehicle seat or from pitching movements ie deflections, oscillations or vibrations about an axis parallel to the width axis of the vehicle and / or the vehicle seat or yaw movements, ie deflections, oscillations or vibrations about an axis parallel to the vertical axis of the vehicle and / or the vehicle seat. It would also be conceivable that only one suspension / damping module is provided, by means of which vertical oscillations, vibrations or deflections as well as horizontal oscillations, vibrations or deflections and the rotary oscillations, vibrations or deflections can be sprung and / or damped. A suspension / damping module can advantageously comprise a spring device for vibration isolation, for example an air spring. Alternatively or cumulatively, the suspension / damping module can comprise a damping device by means of which the vibrational energy introduced can be dissipated. Such a damping device can be a hydraulic shock absorber, for example.

The modification of the comfort parameters, suspension parameters and / or damping parameters can advantageously take place in such a way that the head of the occupant is moved as little as possible by the external driving-related influences. Such a measure can effectively suppress the symptoms of motion sickness or even prevent them in advance. The movement of the head caused by vehicle vibrations, cornering, braking, accelerating etc. can be minimized by an advantageous multiaxial suspension / damping module. Travel sickness can therefore be counteracted by reducing the head dynamics by using sprung and / or damped vehicle seats. The advantageous at least one multiaxial suspension / damping module intercepts most high-frequency vibrations and dampens very low frequencies with a high amplitude. Since the advantageous at least one multiaxial suspension / damping module cushions and / or dampens vertical and / or horizontal vibrations, the occupant's head can be kept as still as possible while the sagittal body plane can incline by a few degrees. Lateral forces, when cornering or when changing lanes, are thus effectively counteracted. The at least one multiaxial suspension / damping module can preferably also include various systems for roll and / or pitch compensation. The roll and / or pitch compensation is intended on the one hand to compensate for forward and backward pitching movements. Furthermore, fluctuations or lateral inclinations should be compensated. The advantageous goal is that the head of the occupant is moved as little as possible. People who do not suffer from motion sickness can also benefit from such a design of the system, since their body is isolated from the movement of the vehicle. This significantly increases the feeling of comfort. Effective isolation from vehicle movement makes it easier to carry out activities such as reading or working on the computer while driving. By advantageously shifting the solution to the task of "ensuring comfort" from the chassis to the seat, the "eternal battle" between driving comfort and driving safety is resolved when developing the chassis. A very comfortable suspension makes the vehicle unsafe, for example rollover etc. On the other hand, a hard sports chassis can only be driven for a short period of time without any health consequences.

The vehicle seat preferably comprises a seat part and / or a backrest element and / or a headrest and extends along a height axis, a width axis and a longitudinal axis. The vehicle seat can advantageously also comprise at least one armrest element and / or a legrest. According to a further advantageous embodiment, the vehicle seat adjustment device comprises at least one seat position module, by means of which a comfort parameter in the form of a seat position parameter can be modified. A seat position parameter in the form of a seat height can preferably be modified by means of a first seat position module. A seat position parameter in the form of a seat inclination can preferably be modified by means of a second seat position module. A seat position parameter in the form of an inclination of a backrest can preferably be modified by means of a third seat position module. A seat position parameter in the form of a height of a headrest can preferably be modified by means of a fourth seat position module. A seat position parameter in the form of an inclination of a headrest can preferably be modified by means of a fifth seat position module. A seat position parameter in the form of an orientation with respect to an axis of rotation of the vehicle seat can preferably be modified by means of a sixth seat position module. The axis of rotation advantageously runs parallel to the height axis.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a displacement device is provided on which the at least one vehicle seat is displaceably arranged. The displacement device is advantageously arranged between the body floor of the vehicle and the at least one vehicle seat. The displacement device preferably comprises a rail system. A seventh seat position module is preferably provided, by means of which a seat position parameter in the form of a displacement position of the vehicle seat on the guidance system can be modified. The seventh seat position module advantageously comprises a locking device, by means of which the seat can be locked in a specific position. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable for the displacement device to include rollers which are arranged on the at least one vehicle seat. The seventh seat position module would accordingly have a magnet system, for example, to anchor the vehicle seat. Such a configuration enables even greater freedom of movement for the occupant.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the system comprises a seat arrangement which ensures an essentially complete spatial perception of the vehicle interior. The seat arrangement preferably comprises the at least one vehicle seat, more preferably a plurality of vehicle seats. Furthermore, the seat arrangement can be varied in such a way that the occupants are allowed a certain degree of free movement without having to neglect safety aspects. This variation can be ensured by the advantageous arrangement of the at least one vehicle seat on a displacement device. The at least one seat position module, or a plurality of the seat position module already mentioned, allow at least one seat position parameter or a plurality of seat position parameters to be changed. This enables a certain degree of free movement without neglecting safety aspects. One factor which, on the one hand, may prevent or reduce motion sickness is the spatial perception of the vehicle interior and the possibility of free movement in the vehicle interior.

A classic seat arrangement in a vehicle comprises two rows of seats arranged next to one another. Such an arrangement is desirable in conventional vehicles, since the driver has to control the vehicle (autonomy level 0). At higher autonomy levels, especially at the autonomy level 5 can be deviated from such a seating arrangement.

In order to suppress the symptoms of motion sickness, a seating arrangement that deviates from the classic seating arrangement is beneficial. A vehicle interior is usually a rectangular cubic or cuboid room. The advantageous seat arrangement comprises an arrangement of the at least one vehicle seat in a corner area of the vehicle interior. A vehicle seat is preferably provided in two, three or four corner areas of the vehicle interior. The at least one vehicle seat can preferably face or face the vehicle interior. The vehicle seats can preferably be turned towards the interior and optionally facing one another. Such an orientation can be modified as required by the advantageous sixth seat position module. This ensures a complete spatial perception of the vehicle interior. Such a seating arrangement supports the cognitive abilities of the occupants for the best possible understanding of the interior.

Spatial perception is defined as the ability to perceive spatial relationships in relation to the alignment of one's own body despite distracting information. This is a significant factor in increasing the enjoyment of space and counteracting motion sickness. Compared to the classic seating arrangement, in which the occupants in the first row only partially perceive the interior due to their forward view and the passengers in the second row only have a limited view of the interior because the front seats block their view, one occupant has through the seating arrangement in the corner areas of the vehicle interior the cognitive ability to visually grasp the interior given by its geometric boundaries and the open space in the middle. This is a significant factor in increasing the enjoyment of space and counteracting motion sickness. A seating arrangement in which the occupants sit diagonally opposite one another is conducive to suppressing the symptoms of rice disease.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the at least one suspension / damping module comprises an energy recovery device by means of which kinetic energy from multiaxial vibrations of the vehicle seat can at least partially be converted into electrical energy. With this energy recovery device (energy harvesting), kinetic energy of the vehicle seat, caused by the vertical and / or horizontal vibrations, can at least partially be converted into electrical energy, which can be fed to the vehicle's on-board system.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the system comprises an interface device which is signal-connected to the first control device. The at least one setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range can preferably be entered and / or modified by means of the interface device. Modification parameters can preferably be entered and / or modified by means of the interface device. The modification parameters preferably determine the degree to which the comfort parameters should be modified. The modification parameters preferably determine the degree to which the comfort parameters are to be modified as a function of the sensor parameters. Each occupant perceives the comfort experience differently. There are also individual differences in sensitivity with regard to motion sickness. Accordingly, it is advantageous that an occupant can adapt the corresponding setpoint / limit values or the setpoint / limit value range from which a comfort device is to be activated. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the occupant can adapt the modification parameters, ie the degree of modification of the comfort parameters, according to his or her comfort perception. Preferably a plurality of the same or different comfort devices provided. As a result, a plurality of comfort parameters can be modified. The control of at least one convenience device can preferably be specified by means of the interface device. The control can thus be adapted individually. The suppression of symptoms of motion sickness varies from person to person. Depending on the individual's feelings, a change in a certain comfort parameter can have a more effective effect on an occupant than another. The occupant can use the interface device to select which comfort parameters are modified to what extent. The occupant can accordingly select any combination of comfort parameters that is favorable or effective for him or her and can determine the degree of modification. At least one comfort parameter can advantageously be set manually by means of the interface device. The interface device can thus preferably comprise an input device and / or an output device or be connected to an input device and / or an output device for signaling purposes. A combined input and output device, for example a touch screen, would also be conceivable. An input device in the form of an operating device which comprises at least one switch and / or at least one button would also be conceivable. Alternatively, the input device can be provided and suitable for receiving voice inputs, so that the comfort parameters are modified by means of voice inputs. Alternatively, the input device can be provided and suitable for recognizing gestures, so that the comfort parameters can be modified by means of the gestures. Of course, further input devices can also be provided, by means of which the comfort parameters can be modified.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the modification of the comfort parameters takes place on the basis of predetermined profile data of an occupant. The profile data are matched to an occupant and advantageously include preferences of the occupant with regard to his individual comfort experience. The profile data can thus include the preferred setpoint / limit values or setpoint / limit value ranges and / or the modification parameters and / or the preferred control of certain comfort devices and / or the preferred modification of comfort parameters. The profile data are advantageously stored in a memory device, which is preferably connected to the first control device in terms of signaling. The profile data can preferably be entered or modified by the interface device. The profile data or the profile can / can be activated by an occupant. Settings relating to the comfort parameters are accordingly made available to the first control device. The occupant therefore no longer needs to make any further settings or inputs. This is particularly advantageous for occupants who use the vehicle regularly. The profile can be activated by making an entry. Such an input can be a selection on a display, an audio input or a fingerprint. It would also be conceivable that face recognition is provided in the vehicle, which automatically activates a profile for an occupant in a specific seat.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the interface device is connected to an input / output device by means of a wireless connection. The input / output device is preferably a smartphone and / or a tablet computer and / or a laptop. Such a wireless connection can be, for example, an RFID (radio-frequency identification) connection, an NFC (near-field communication) connection, a WLAN connection or a cellular connection. Of course, further wireless connections or wired connections can also be used. With this input / output device, the occupant can make all settings and inputs, for example the preferred setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range e and / or the modification parameters and / or the preferred control of certain comfort devices and / or the preferred modification of comfort parameters and / or entering / modifying the profile data. An automatic data exchange preferably takes place between the interface device or the first control device and the input / output device, in which an identification process is carried out. The profile data can preferably be activated automatically by the input / output device. The profile data are advantageously stored on the input / output device. The profile data can preferably be called up automatically via the interface device. The user can therefore automatically transmit his preferred settings to the first control device in different vehicles.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the sensor device comprises at least one external sensor device which detects parameters of the environment relative to the vehicle. Such external sensor devices can be, for example, a speed sensor device, an acceleration sensor device, a rotation rate sensor device, a sensor device for detecting the road condition, a sensor device for detecting the ambient light conditions, a sensor device for detecting the ambient temperature. Such an external sensor device can also be a navigation device, by means of which speed, Road conditions, winding routes, etc. can be recorded. A rotation rate sensor device can preferably be provided for the detection of rolling movements, pitching movements and yawing movements of the vehicle. Excessive cornering or excessive vibration of the vehicle can also cause the motion sickness. At least one sensor device can preferably be provided which detects a repeated movement of the vehicle in the vertical and / or horizontal direction. These can be acceleration sensors, for example. Vertical and / or horizontal movements of the vehicle can be caused by unevenness in the ground and can be a possible cause of motion sickness. Accordingly, a sensor device for detecting vibrations, for example an acceleration sensor device, can be provided. Many people experience motion sickness with an excessive visual impression, which changes quickly. This can be the case in cities, for example. A far-reaching view of a landscape that does not change much, on the other hand, causes fewer motion sickness. Accordingly, a sensor device can be provided which detects visual properties of the environment. In particular, the speed of change in the environment is crucial. For this purpose, a corresponding image analysis could be provided, by means of which a value relating to a rate of change in the environment can be determined. Furthermore, a sensor device can be provided which detects curves in the road ahead. The sensor device preferably comprises at least one internal sensor device which detects parameters of the vehicle interior. Such parameters can be, for example, the temperature, air humidity and the lighting conditions in the interior. The sensor device preferably comprises at least one internal sensor device which detects the position and / or orientation of the occupant in the vehicle interior. The sensor device preferably comprises at least one internal sensor device which detects the position and / or orientation of the head of the occupant. Excessive head movement can cause motion sickness. It is therefore advantageous to minimize the movements of the head. This can be done, for example, by modifying the suspension parameters and / or damping parameters. The detection of the head position or the orientation of the occupant is also important in order to effectively modify comfort parameters for the occupant. It would also be conceivable that an internal yaw rate sensor device is provided for the detection of cornering, rolling movements, pitching movements and yawing movements of the at least one vehicle seat. It would also be conceivable for an internal speed sensor device and an internal acceleration sensor device to be provided for the detection of movements or changes in movement of the vehicle seat. Of course, other sensors are also conceivable with which further parameters causing the rice disease can be determined.

According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one comfort device is designed as an air conditioning device. The modifiable comfort parameters preferably include air conditioning parameters. An important factor in relation to motion sickness is the air conditioning of the interior. Such air conditioning can be modified using the at least one sensor parameter. The air conditioning can thus be individually tailored to an occupant. A modification of the air conditioning can accordingly be adapted automatically in the event of deviations from the at least one setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range. Air conditioning of the vehicle can preferably be implemented by an air flow entering the vehicle interior. These air-conditioning parameters accordingly include various air flow parameters which can be controlled by the first control device. Such air flow parameters can be, for example, the amount of air introduced, the direction of flow of the air flow, the temperature of the air introduced and the relative humidity. The air flow enters the vehicle through air inlet devices which can be arranged in different positions of the vehicle. The airflow parameters can be effectively aligned based on the orientation of the occupant or based on the orientation of the head of the occupant. In this way, the air flow parameters can also be effectively adjusted when the vehicle seat is rotated or shifted. The air conditioning parameters can, however, also include further parameters that are independent of an air flow, for example when a radiant heat source is used.

According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one comfort device is designed as a lighting device. The modifiable comfort parameters preferably include lighting parameters. One factor which, on the one hand, prevents or might reduce motion sickness is the lighting in the vehicle interior. Such lighting can be modifiable on the basis of the at least one sensor parameter. The lighting can thus be individually tailored to an occupant. A modification of the lighting can accordingly be adapted automatically in the event of deviations from the at least one setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range. An individual adaptation of the lighting in the interior of the vehicle to the individual occupants can still be one make a corresponding contribution to the feeling of comfort. At least one lighting element is advantageously provided, more preferably a plurality of lighting elements are provided in the vehicle interior. It is advantageous here that at least one ceiling lighting element and / or at least one floor lighting element and / or at least one side lighting element is provided in the vehicle interior. Furthermore, it would be conceivable to have at least one lighting element in the footwell of the vehicle and / or at least one lighting element in or on a center console of the vehicle and / or at least one lighting element in or on a door of a vehicle and / or at least one lighting element in or on an upper area a door of a vehicle and / or at least one lighting element in or on a lower area, for example the side compartment of a door of a vehicle and / or at least one lighting element in or on a dashboard of the vehicle. It would also be conceivable to provide at least one lighting element on handle elements, for example the door handle elements. At least one lighting element could also be provided in or on a display device in the front area of the vehicle. Exemplary lighting parameters are the illuminance, the light color, the brightness or luminescence or the targeted control of certain lighting elements, or the position of the lighting. At least two lighting parameters are advantageously modified in combination. At least three lighting parameters are advantageously modified in combination. The lighting elements are advantageously designed as RGB elements, preferably LED-RGB elements. Such elements allow adjustment in a wide range of colors. Other suitable lighting elements are of course also conceivable. An adjustment of the light color can also correspond to an adjustment of a so-called light heat. The light heat is usually given in Kelvin. A cool light has a greater proportion of the color blue, whereas a warmer light has a greater proportion of the colors red and yellow. The light temperature has a not to be disregarded influence on the well-being. So-called daylight white light with more than 5200 Kelvin corresponds to daylight, during lunchtime it has a positive effect on well-being and promotes concentration. So-called neutral white light with approx. 3200 to approx. 5200 Kelvin leaves a more objective impression. Finally, the so-called warm white light is distinguished with approx. 2700 to 3200 Kelvin. This light has a large amount of red and has a relaxing effect. The interior lighting can advantageously also be used to preview movements (deceleration / acceleration) or speeds and for mood-dependent ambient lighting. Furthermore, the colored indoor lighting can have a positive effect on the mental state of the occupants. The color of the interior also determines the ambience in the interior of the vehicle. For this purpose, the color of the interior can be designed in such a way that it conveys an impression of security and directs the eye to important elements by working with light and dark, color-coordinated tones. Haptic properties support the functionality of the elements, soft for the body's own support zones, smooth for paneling and robust for storage. If symptoms of rice disease appear, the light color can be modified to a warmer area, which has a relaxing effect. The lighting can also be modified to a certain predetermined color, which has a positive effect on the person concerned.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the at least one lateral lighting element is designed in the form of a strip. The at least one lateral lighting element is advantageously arranged on at least one side wall of the vehicle interior. At least one lateral lighting element advantageously extends over the entire lateral circumference of the vehicle interior. It is advantageous here that certain sections of the at least one side lighting element can be controlled individually in order to enable an individual adaptation to the occupant in the corresponding section. An artificial horizon can advantageously be generated by the at least one lateral lighting element. Such an artificial horizon serves to resolve the conflict of the sensory organs generated by the movement of the vehicle in the perception and to counteract motion sickness. The at least one side lighting element is advantageously designed as an LED panel and / or LED strip.

According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one comfort device is designed as a sound device. The modifiable comfort parameters preferably include sound parameters. Sounds significantly influence the comfort experience. The modification of the sound parameters can include, for example, the generation of sounds or music. These sounds can advantageously be of a calming nature. The sounds can be provided via individual speakers or headphones. The loudspeakers are advantageously integrated into the vehicle seat. It would also be conceivable that the modification of the sound parameters also includes active noise compensation (Active Noise Reduction or Active Noise Cancellation). A sound is thus preferably generated artificially in order to cancel out sound by means of destructive interference. This is done by generating a A signal is sought that corresponds exactly to that of the disturbing sound with opposite polarity. To this end, it is advantageous that the sensor device comprises a sensor device which detects the noise or sound present in the vehicle interior.

According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one comfort device is designed as a fragrance generating device. The modifiable comfort parameters preferably include fragrance parameters. In order to suppress travel sickness, a targeted release of certain fragrances and / or aromas can preferably also be advantageous. This scent generating device can advantageously release different scents and / or aromas in the vehicle interior. Such scents can for example have a calming effect or suppress any nausea.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the system comprises an entertainment device. The at least one comfort parameter can advantageously be modified on the basis of a signal from the entertainment device. An entertainment facility may include entertainment programs in the form of games, interactive games, films, etc. The comfort parameters can be adjusted based on these entertainment programs. For example, the vehicle seat adjusting device can be modified according to an interactive game. This creates an effective entertainment or comfort experience. It is advantageous that the entertainment device comprises at least one display or is connected to a display. At least one comfort device is preferably a fog display device. Such a fog display device or fog display or also called “fog curtain” is used to improve the ambience in the vehicle interior. Such a mist indicator conveys an aerosol, i. H. a mixture (dispersion) of solid or liquid particles in a gas, for example air, at a specified location in the vehicle interior. This can take place, for example, through an eddy-free air flow into which particles, for example water particles, are injected, or simply through a flow of an aerosol that has already been generated. Such a fog display is, for example, an eddy-free air flow into which particles, for example water particles, are injected. This creates a thin fog surface. Images can be projected onto this fog surface either from behind or from the front. Such a fog display has the advantage of not being fragile. Furthermore, the space occupied by the fog display can simply be used for other purposes by switching off the fog display. Such a fog display can preferably be provided in the rear area of the vehicle interior. The fog indicator can also serve as a scent generating device, i.e. for the release of scents.

A combination of comfort parameters is preferably modified to suppress motion sickness or to optimize the comfort experience.

The present objects are also achieved by a vehicle with a system according to one of the described embodiments. The vehicle can be equipped with all the features already described above in the context of the system individually or in combination with one another and vice versa.

This suspension describes in particular a rotation of the upper part 36 around one above the top 36 arranged fictitious axis. This position is particularly preferred for isolating slopes and rolling and pitching movements. A vehicle seat with such a device is in the patent applications DE 10 2015 121 764.3 , DE 10 2015 121 765.1 disclosed, the content of which is intended to belong in full to the present disclosure.

In the 7a and 7b is another possible suspension and / or damping module 9 shown, the 7a shows a plan view in a non-deflected operating state and FIG 7b a corresponding front view. The suspension and / or damping module 9 comprises a spring device for springing pivoting movements and a first damping device 38 to dampen the swiveling movements of an upper part 37 of the vehicle seat 2 compared to a lower part 36 a vehicle seat 2 about a pivot axis arranged to run in a vehicle seat longitudinal direction or vehicle seat width direction and a second damping device 38 for damping translational movement of the vehicle seat 2 .

Through the suspension and / or damping module 9 the movement of the head caused by vehicle vibrations, cornering, braking, accelerating etc. is minimized. Travel sickness can be counteracted by reducing the head dynamics through the sprung vehicle seat 2 can be achieved. Through the multiaxial suspension and / or damping modules 9 Most high-frequency vibrations are intercepted and very low frequencies are dampened with a high amplitude. Such multiaxial suspension and / or damping module 9 springs and / or dampens vertical and / or horizontal vibrations. Such suspension and / or damping modules are advantageous 9 actively or semi-actively controlled. Lateral forces, when cornering or when changing lanes, are counteracted with the horizontal suspension and / or damping devices. The occupant's head should be kept as still as possible, while the sagittal plane of the body can tilt a few degrees. Even people who do not suffer from motion sickness will benefit from such vehicle seats 2 benefit as their body is isolated from vehicle movement. This significantly increases the feeling of comfort. Effective isolation from vehicle movement makes it easier to carry out activities such as reading or working on the computer while driving.

The system 1 can be a seating arrangement 16 comprise, which a substantially complete spatial perception of the vehicle interior 3 guaranteed. The seating arrangement 16 comprises the at least one vehicle seat 2 . The seat arrangement further comprises 16 an arrangement of the at least one vehicle seat 2 in a corner area of the vehicle interior 3 , wherein the at least one vehicle seat 2 the vehicle interior 3 is facing. One factor which, on the one hand, prevents or might reduce motion sickness is the spatial perception of the vehicle interior 3 and the ability to move freely in the vehicle interior. It therefore becomes a seating arrangement 16 proposed which a complete spatial perception of the vehicle interior 3 guaranteed. Furthermore, the seating arrangement 16 can be varied in such a way that the occupants are allowed a certain degree of free movement without having to neglect safety aspects.

In the 12 and 13 is a classic seat arrangement in a vehicle 100 shown which two rows of vehicle seats arranged side by side 2a , 2 B includes. With conventional vehicles 100 Such an arrangement is desirable because here the driver controls the vehicle 100 must control (autonomy level 0). At higher autonomy levels, especially at the autonomy level 5 , it is possible to deviate from such a seating arrangement. To suppress the symptoms of motion sickness, a seating arrangement that deviates from the classic seating arrangement is useful. A vehicle interior 3 is usually a rectangular cubic room. Here is an arrangement of a respective seat 2a , 2 B in a corner area of the vehicle interior 3 desirable. There is at least one front vehicle seat 2a and at least one rear vehicle seat 2 B intended. The seats 2a , 2 B are still facing the interior. This is in the 14th to 16 , 8th to 22nd and 24 shown. This ensures a complete spatial perception of the vehicle interior. With such a seating arrangement 16 the cognitive abilities of the inmates are supported for the best possible understanding of the interior. Spatial perception is defined as the ability to perceive spatial relationships in relation to the alignment of one's own body despite distracting information. This is a significant factor in increasing the enjoyment of space and counteracting motion sickness. Compared to the classic seating arrangement ( 12 and 13 ), in which the occupants in the first row enter the interior 3 only partially perceive due to the forward view and the passengers in the second row only have a restricted view of the interior because the front seats block their view, an occupant has through the seat arrangement 16 in the corner areas of the vehicle interior 3 ( 14th to 16 and 18th to 22nd ) the cognitive ability to visually grasp the interior space given by its geometric boundaries and the open space in the middle. This is a significant factor in increasing the enjoyment of space and counteracting motion sickness. A seating arrangement in which the occupants sit diagonally opposite one another is conducive to suppressing the symptoms of rice disease.

There are seat arrangements conceivable which only have two seats 2a , 2 B include. This is for example in the 14th , 15th , 20th to 22nd and 24 shown. In the 18th and 19th is an arrangement with three seats each 2a , 2 B shown, whereby in the 18th in the front area of the A front seat inside the vehicle 2a is provided and two rear seats in the rear area 2 B are provided. In the 20th to 22nd are two seats each 2a , 2 B provided, each with a front seat 2a and a rear seat 2 B are provided. Of course, an embodiment would also be conceivable in which 4 or more seats 2a , 2 B are provided.

In order to allow approximately free movement, the at least one vehicle seat is 2 by means of a displacement device 15th on the body floor 101 of the vehicle 100 arranged. Such a relocation facility 15th can for example be a rail system 15a be like in the 8th and 9 shown. The rail system 15a extends advantageously starting from a respective corner region of the vehicle interior towards the vehicle interior center. Accordingly, an angle α can be made by the rail system 6th and the side wall of the vehicle interior. The angle α is preferably in a range between 15 ° and 75 °, more preferably between 25 ° and 65 °, more preferably between 40 ° and 45 °. Through the guide in the rail system 15a on the one hand a certain freedom of movement is guaranteed, on the other hand the seat is 2a , 2 B also sufficiently safe with the body floor 101 connected. In the 8th to 10 it can be seen that the respective seat 2a , 2 B a slide element 30th includes which with the rail system 15a connected is.

In 10 is a possible embodiment of the sixth seat position module 10f , shown in the form of a rotating device which is driven by means of a toothed gear. It should be emphasized that not only the front seats 2a have the described options for displacement or rotation. Likewise the rear seats 2 B be displaceable and rotatable.

The seats 2a , 2 B should leave an optimal impression of comfort on the user. Accordingly, the seats can 2a , 2 B by means of a second seat position module ( 10b ) be inclined. The seats 2 , 3 include a seat frame 41 , which is a seat part 32 and a backrest 31 with a lumbar section 31a , a shoulder section 31b and a headboard 33 includes. It is advantageous if the lumbar vertebra section 31a , the shoulder section 31b and the headboard 33 can be displaced or twisted in the lateral direction. These elements 31a , 31b , 33 be partially elastic or be arranged with corresponding joints on a central structure. The advantage of such a configuration is that when the occupant rotates, the lumbar vertebra section 31a , the shoulder section 31b and the headboard 33 follow this turning movement and continue to support the occupant. The headboard 33 can of course also along the height axis Z as well as adjustable along the latitude axis. In the 11a and 11b it can also be seen that the shoulder section 31b a portion 31c, which along the latitudinal axis Y is extendable. This can be done for example by means of a guidance system. A rotational movement of the occupant is thereby efficiently supported. The seats 2a , 2 B can also have other functions that promote relaxation, such as a massage function.

The seating arrangement 16 can still be a service element 42 include. Such a service element 42 is in the 14th , 16 , 17th , 18th to 22nd and 24 shown. This service element 42 can serve as a shelf or table. This is advantageously a service element 42 via a guidance system 43 displaceable on the body floor 101 arranged. This leadership system 43 can be analogous to the rail system 15a the seats 2a , 2 B be designed. Accordingly, a possible configuration would be a rail system 15a as in 8th shown. The service element 42 can be placed in the middle of the vehicle interior when in use 3 be relocated, such as in the 14th and 22nd shown. When not in use, the service element 42 to a storage area 44 be relocated. In the 18th to 22nd are different possible arrangements of the service element 42 in the storage area 44 and a corresponding arrangement of the guidance system 43 shown. So can the storage area 10 of the service element 9 on the right front side of the vehicle 100 be provided. This would usually correspond to the side of the passenger seat. The storage area 44 of the service element 42 can also be on the left rear side of the vehicle 100 be provided. The storage area 44 is thus arranged behind the driver's seat. These representations relate to vehicles that are intended for so-called right-hand traffic. For vehicles that are intended for so-called left-hand traffic, the pages described should be reversed. The service element 42 may comprise a vertically extendable table section, as in FIG 6th , 19th , 20th and 21st to see. This table section 11 can be operated by an actuator (electric, hydraulic etc.) along the double arrow 12 in 6th be extended or retracted. The table section 45 further comprises two side areas 45a , 45b which in a lateral direction to the respective seats 2a , 2 B are movable towards. This is in 17th using the double arrows 45c indicated. The side areas 45a , 45b can be laterally displaceable by means of a rail system. The service center 42 further includes a Storage section 45d for electrical devices, such as smartphones, etc. This storage section 45d can be configured such that a charging function, preferably wireless, is provided for the electrical devices. Furthermore, a storage area can be provided in which providers can make certain gift items available, for example in the case of a rental car.

The at least one suspension / damping module advantageously comprises 9 an energy recovery device 17th , by means of which a kinetic energy of multiaxial vibrations of the vehicle seat 2 is at least partially convertible into electrical energy. This electrical energy can be fed into the on-board system. Due to the individual adaptability of the suspension / damping module 9 the occupant can decide for himself how much he wants to be cushioned in order to counteract the kinetosis. If the setting is chosen so that the potential cushioning option is not fully used, the remaining energy that is generated can be used by the energy recovery device 17th be recovered.

The system 1 comprises an interface device 18th , which signal-wise with the first control device 5 connected is. By means of the interface device 18th the at least one setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range can be entered and / or modified. Likewise, by means of the interface device 18th Modification parameters, ie the degree of modification (a stronger or weaker modification of the comfort parameters) of the comfort parameters can be entered and / or modified. Furthermore, by means of the interface device 18th the control of the at least one comfort device 6th specifiable. The occupant can specify which comfort devices 6th , ie what type of comfort devices 6th or which comfort devices are controlled at a certain location in the vehicle interior. The suppression of symptoms of motion sickness varies from person to person. Depending on the individual's feelings, a change in a certain comfort parameter can have a more effective effect on an occupant than another. The occupant can use the interface device to select which comfort parameters are modified to what extent. The occupant can accordingly select any combination of comfort parameters that is favorable or effective for him and can determine the degree of modification. Of course, by means of the interface device 18th the at least one comfort parameter can be set manually. The occupant can therefore adjust the comfort parameters manually at any time. An input / output device is required for this 19th connected to the interface device for signaling purposes. This connection can be a wireless connection or a wired connection. The input / output device 19th can for example be a control panel, a touch screen or the like. It would also be conceivable that the input / output device 19th is a smartphone, tablet computer or laptop. The wireless connection could be an RFID connection, an NFC connection, a WLAN connection, a cellular connection or a similar connection. The occupant can through such an input / output device 19th easily carry out the setting to be made.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the modification of the comfort parameters takes place on the basis of predetermined profile data of an occupant. The profile data are matched to an occupant and advantageously include preferences of the occupant with regard to his individual comfort experience. The profile data can thus contain the preferred setpoint / limit values or setpoint / limit value ranges and / or the modification parameters and / or the preferred control of certain comfort devices 6th and / or the preferred modification of comfort parameters. The profile data or the profile can / can be activated by an occupant. The first control device 5 accordingly, settings relating to the comfort parameters are made available. The occupant therefore no longer needs to make any further settings or inputs. The profile data can be stored in a storage device 8th be filed. It would also be conceivable that the profile data in the input / output device 19th , for example a smartphone. Through the interface device 18th this profile data can then be called up automatically. When using different vehicles, the corresponding settings can be automatically transferred to the respective first control device 5 be transmitted. It would also be conceivable for the occupant to be able to select certain standardized modes which include corresponding presettings.

The sensor device 4th comprises at least one external sensor device 20th , which parameters of the environment are detected relative to the vehicle. Furthermore, the sensor device 4th at least one internal sensor device 21st include what parameters of the vehicle interior 3 detected. The sensor device 4th can also have at least one internal sensor device 22nd which include the position and / or orientation of the occupant in the vehicle interior 3 detected. Such external sensor devices 20th For example, a speed sensor device, an acceleration sensor device, a rotation rate sensor device, a sensor device for detecting the road condition, a sensor device for detecting the ambient light conditions, a sensor device for detecting the Ambient temperature. Such an external sensor device 20th can also be a navigation device, by means of which speed, road conditions, winding roads, etc. can be recorded. A rotation rate sensor device can be provided for the detection of rolling movements, pitching movements and yawing movements of the vehicle. At least one sensor device can preferably be provided which detects a repeated movement of the vehicle in the vertical and / or horizontal direction. For this purpose, for example, corresponding acceleration sensor devices or position sensor devices with regard to certain components of the vehicle can be provided. Such vertical and / or horizontal movements of the vehicle can be caused by uneven ground and be a possible cause of motion sickness. Excessive cornering can also cause motion sickness. Accordingly, a sensor device for determining cornering, for example a corresponding acceleration sensor device, can be provided. The external sensor device can also be suitable for detecting visual properties of the environment. In particular, the speed of change in the environment is crucial. For this purpose, a corresponding image analysis could be provided, by means of which a value relating to a rate of change in the environment can be determined. Furthermore, a sensor device can be provided which visually recognizes curves in the road ahead. The internal sensor device 21st can detect parameters that include, for example, the temperature, humidity and the lighting conditions in the interior. Furthermore, at least one internal sensor device can be provided which detects the position and / or orientation of the occupant or the head of the occupant in the vehicle interior. Of course, other sensors are also conceivable with which further parameters that cause rice disease can be determined.

One factor which, on the one hand, may prevent or reduce motion sickness is the lighting in the vehicle interior 3 . Accordingly, at least one comfort device 6th as a lighting device 24 is formed, wherein the modifiable comfort parameters include lighting parameters. A setting of the lighting can accordingly be adapted automatically in the event of deviations in the sensor parameters from the at least one setpoint / limit value or setpoint / limit value range. An individual adaptation of the lighting in the interior of the vehicle to the individual occupants can also make a corresponding contribution to the feeling of comfort.

At least one lighting element could also 46 be provided in or on a display device in the front area of the vehicle. Every vehicle seat 2 , 2a , 2 B in the vehicle interior 3 a certain individual lighting element set is assigned which comprises at least lighting elements. The lighting elements contained in the individual lighting element set can advantageously be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the respective vehicle seat. It would be conceivable that certain lighting elements 46 which are associated with different sets of lighting means are combined in a higher-level device. For example, several ceiling lighting elements 46a be summarized in a higher-level ceiling device. It would also be conceivable that certain lighting elements 46 are associated with several sets of lighting elements. The lighting elements 46 can advantageously be modified with regard to various lighting parameters. Exemplary lighting parameters are the illuminance, the light color, the brightness or luminescence or the targeted control of certain lighting elements 46 , or the position of the lighting. At least two lighting parameters are advantageously modified in combination. At least three lighting parameters are advantageously modified in combination. The lighting elements 46 are advantageously designed as RGB elements, preferably LED-RGB elements. Such elements allow setting in a wide range of colors. Other suitable lighting elements are of course also conceivable.

The lighting elements 46 can be so in the vehicle 1 be arranged that an individual lighting design in the immediate vicinity of a vehicle seat 2 , 2a , 2 B is possible. In this way, the lighting can be individually tailored to an occupant. An adjustment of the light color can also correspond to an adjustment of a so-called light heat. The lighting device 24 can also be modified to preview movements or speeds and can be used for mood-dependent ambient lighting. Lighting elements 46 in the form of colored light strips can also indicate changes in movement (deceleration / acceleration). Furthermore, the colored room lighting in the vehicle interior 3 positively affect the mental state of the inmates. The color scheme of the interior 3 also determines the ambience in the interior of the vehicle. For this purpose, the color of the interior can be designed in such a way that it conveys an impression of security and directs the eye to important elements by working with light and dark, color-coordinated tones. Haptic properties support the functionality of the elements, soft for the body's own support zones, smooth for paneling and robust for storage. If symptoms of motion sickness occur, the light color can be modified to a warmer area, which has a relaxing effect. The lighting can also be modified to a certain predetermined color, which has a positive effect on the person concerned.

The at least one side lighting element 46b can be designed as strips or as lighting strips and on or in at least one side wall 102a , 102b , which the vehicle interior 3 limited, be arranged. The side lighting elements 46b can on a side wall 102a be arranged, which extend along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. As a rule, there is at least one door and at least one side window in this side wall 103 intended. It is advantageous that the at least one, preferably strip-like, lateral lighting element is directly below or in an area close to the at least one side window 103 is arranged. Furthermore, at least one side lighting element 46b on a side wall 102b be arranged, which extends along the width direction of the vehicle 100 extends. These side walls 102b are also called the front or rear of the vehicle interior 3 designated. Usually in this side wall 102b at least a windshield 104a or at least a rear window 104b intended. It is advantageous that the at least one, preferably strip-like, lateral lighting element is directly below or in an area close to the at least one windshield 104a and / or the at least one rear window 104b is arranged. Advantageously extends over the entire lateral circumference of the vehicle interior 3 at least one side lighting element 46b . It is advantageous that certain sections of the at least one lateral lighting element 46b can be controlled individually in order to enable an individual adaptation to the occupant in the corresponding section. By preferably continuous lighting of such a side lighting element 46b in the form of a strip of light, can be an artificial horizon 47 be generated in order to resolve the conflict of the sensory organs in perception and counteract motion sickness. Of course, further differently shaped side lighting elements can also be used in the side areas 46b be provided.

Due to the large freedom of movement of the occupants, it is advantageous that the lighting device is activated as a function of the position and / or orientation of the occupant and / or of the position and / or orientation of the head of the occupant. The corresponding internal sensor devices are for this purpose 22nd provided which detect the position and / or orientation of the occupant and / or the position and / or orientation of the head of the occupant. By the first control device 5 then at least one lighting parameter is based on the sensor data of the internal sensor device 22nd which detects the position and / or orientation of the occupant and / or the head of the occupant in the vehicle interior. The individual lighting for the occupant can thus be effectively adapted to the movement of the occupant in the vehicle interior.

Furthermore, at least one projection device 46d which project information data onto at least one projection surface, a plurality of projection surfaces being provided, the at least one projection device being controlled by the first control device as a function of the position and / or orientation of the occupant and / or the head of the occupant, so that the projection takes place on that projection surface which is best visible to the occupant.

Furthermore, at least one display device 46d be provided for displaying information data. Such information data can include status data of the vehicle, such as speed, time, arrival time, engine parameters, Navigation information and any other information data. Depending on the position and / or orientation of the occupant and / or depending on the position and / or orientation of the head of the occupant, the information data that is best visible to the occupant are preferably displayed on the display device. For this purpose, the first control device records the data from the corresponding internal sensor device 22nd and calculates which display device for the occupant, based on his or her orientation and / or position, or the orientation and / or position of the head of the occupant, is the one which is best visible. The display device can be a display device or just a projection surface onto which at least one projection device is applied 58 projects the information data for viewing. Accordingly, a plurality of projection surfaces is provided, which is best visible to the occupants. This activation is preferably limited to the driver / supervisor of the vehicle. In the case of a classic alignment with a view through the windshield, a first projection surface or the first display device is arranged in an area below the windshield in which the usual dashboard displays are also to be expected. If the occupant turns away from this position / orientation, the information data can be displayed on a nearby display device / projection surface. The at least one display element or the at least one projection device can preferably also be modified with regard to the lighting parameters. Accordingly, the display device can also be modified with regard to the lighting parameters (light intensity, light color, etc.).

Another factor which, on the one hand, may prevent or reduce motion sickness is the air conditioning in the vehicle. An individual adaptation of the air conditioning to the individual occupants can also make a corresponding contribution to the feeling of comfort. Accordingly, there is at least one comfort device 6th as an air conditioning device 23 formed, wherein the modifiable comfort parameters include air conditioning parameters. Air conditioning of the vehicle 100 is for example by one in the vehicle 1 incoming air flow realized. Accordingly, the air conditioning parameters include various air flow parameters. Such air flow parameters can be, for example, the amount of air introduced, the direction of flow of the air flow, the temperature of the air introduced and the relative humidity. Such air conditioning can be done with a first control device 5 individually tailored to an occupant. The air flow passes through air inlet devices 48 into the vehicle. These air intake devices 48 can be flat and have a large number of openings through which an air flow can pass. The air intake devices 48 are located in the front of the vehicle. It would also be conceivable that air inlet devices in the side areas of the vehicle 48 are provided. Air inlet devices are cumulative or alternative 48 in the ceiling area and / or the floor area of the vehicle 100 intended. In the 12 to 16 some conceivable seat arrangements for vehicles are shown. The air intake devices 48 are only indicated schematically here. It would be conceivable, for example, that a large part of the ceiling area or the entire ceiling area with one or more air inlet device (s) 48 Is provided. It is advantageous here if the air conditioning can be carried out individually for each occupant. There can be an individual airflow in the area of a seat 2 , 2a , 2 B be judged.

At least a convenience device 6th can be used as a fragrance generating device 26th be designed, wherein the modifiable comfort parameters include fragrance parameters. In order to suppress travel sickness, a targeted release of certain fragrances and / or aromas can preferably also be advantageous. Such scents can for example have a calming effect or suppress any nausea. The scents and / or aromas can be produced by a scent-generating device 26th be introduced into the individual air flow. Alternatively or cumulatively, the fragrance generating device 26th for the release of scents and / or aromas, the corresponding scents or aromas outside the individual air flow into the vehicle interior 3 release. It can be advantageous if the released fragrances and / or aromas are combined with other countermeasures to suppress travel sickness. Accordingly, a reduction in the temperature of the air flow, which is intended to ensure a refreshing impression, would also be underlined by a corresponding scent or aroma, which also have a refreshing effect.

An important factor related to motion sickness is the ambience in the interior of the vehicle. For this purpose, the color of the interior can be designed in such a way that it conveys an impression of security and directs the eye to important elements by working with light and dark, color-coordinated tones. Haptic properties support the functionality of the elements, soft for the body's own support zones, smooth for paneling and robust for storage. To improve the ambience in the vehicle interior, at least one fog display or a fog display device can also be used in the vehicle interior 28 or also called “fog curtain”. Such a fog indicator 28 Conveys an aerosol, ie a mixture (dispersion) of solid or liquid particles in a gas, for example air, to a specified location in the vehicle interior 3 . Such a fog indicator 28 can create a particularly pleasant ambience in the vehicle 100 create. It also has the advantage of not being fragile. Furthermore, by the fog display device 28 occupied space by switching off the fog indicator 28 can simply be used elsewhere.

The fog indicator 28 can be in a rear area of the vehicle 100 arranged as in 14th and 24 shown. However, other positions would certainly be conceivable, the fog display device 28 in the vehicle interior 3 to arrange. You could, for example, in the middle of the vehicle interior 3 or in the front area of the vehicle interior 3 be arranged. Furthermore, several fog display devices are conceivable 28 in the vehicle interior 3 to arrange. A fog indicator 28 can be implemented in different ways. An aerosol, ie a mixture (dispersion) of solid or liquid particles in a gas, for example air, or a fog-like medium is used to produce a preferably semitransparent projection surface. An image can then be generated on this surface by means of at least one projection device. Such a projection can generate a two-dimensional or also a three-dimensional image. The projection device can be a laser projection device or some other optical projection device. Such a mist-like medium consists of particles which preferably have a size of a few 10 micrometers to a few 100 micrometers. These particles can for example be water particles. Of course, other suitable particles are also conceivable. The use of dry ice (CO2) would also be conceivable. According to a preferred embodiment, the particles are preferably injected into a laminar air flow which extends along the projection surface. In the 23a , 23b and 23c are possible configurations of a fog display device 28 shown. According to one embodiment 23a creates an airflow generator 49 the corresponding airflow 50 . This is via a delivery facility 51 , which has corresponding outlet openings, into the projection space provided 52 brought. An injection device 53 injects the appropriate aerosol 54 , or the corresponding particles 54 in the air stream 50 . Below the delivery facility 51 is a suction device 55 provided, which advantageously comprises a recovery device by means of which the particles can be recovered again and fed back to the injection device. The delivery facility 51 can be designed in such a way that the width of the air flow 56 is variable. A rather small width can cause a higher density of the particles, as a result of which a sharp image can be generated by means of the projection device. If the width is increased, color or light effects can be generated, which have a positive effect on the ambience in the vehicle interior 3 impact. For this purpose, it can also be provided that the air flow is not laminar, but rather comprises an air vortex. The outlet openings could, for example, be controlled in such a way that they are oriented at an angle. A helical air flow could also be provided. The generation of the air flow and the suction power can be coordinated in such a way that no or only a few particles emerge from the projection surface 52 step out. However, the generation of the air flow and the suction power can also be coordinated in such a way that particles, for example water particles, enter the vehicle interior. This can reduce the air quality in the vehicle interior 3 be positively influenced. It would also be conceivable that through the injection device 53 certain fragrances or aromas are added to the air stream and thus as a fragrance generating device 26th acts.

In the embodiment according to 23b is the delivery facility 51 designed in such a way that these two disk-like air flows, so-called air shields 57 through the airflow generator 3 generated. The air shields 57 extend along the entire height and depth of the projection space 52 . Along the width of the projection room 52 however, they are spaced apart so that a gap is created. The aerosol or the particles are located in this space 54 brought in. The gap here has an advantageous width in a range between 10 mm and 300 mm. As a result, a very high particle density can be generated in the intermediate space, as a result of which a sharp image can be generated by the projection device. In the embodiment according to 23c no suction device is used. It is the particles through the dispenser 51 delivered upwards. Air shields are also preferred here 57 provided which the aerosol 54 lock in. The fog display device would also be conceivable 28 designed in such a way that it can function as a tangible user interface, a so-called “tangible user interface”. For this purpose, objects that can be moved by the user can be introduced into the air flow, for example. The corresponding movement can then be interpreted as a corresponding input. Alternatively or cumulatively, a gesture recognition device in the fog display device 28 be provided. A corresponding input can then be made using gestures. The delivery facility 51 and / or the suction device 55 can also be arranged in the vehicle via a roll compensation device and / or a vibration compensation device. Such devices can compensate for external influences such as vibrations or fluctuations caused by cornering and a possible disruption of the air flow 50 be prevented. For this purpose, suspension and / or damping systems or also gyroscope arrangements can be conceivable.

The fog indicator 28 can serve as a display, for example to show pictures or films. For example, vehicle data, navigation data or other information can also be displayed. The fog indicator 28 can also be used to create an ambience, for example by introducing certain scents or aromas into the vehicle interior 3 or through certain light / color effects, which can have a calming effect on the occupants.

The system 1 can also be an entertainment facility 27 include. Such an entertainment facility can provide games, films, etc. The entertainment facility 27 can be connected to a display, for example to the fog display device 28 . At least one comfort parameter can preferably be based on a signal from the entertainment device 27 be modified. Interactive games can thus be carried out, with one or more seat position modules, for example 10 controlled to improve the gaming experience.

A combination of comfort devices is advantageous 6th controlled or modified a combination of comfort parameters. Thus the comfort experience of the occupant is maximized. In addition, the symptoms of motion sickness can be prevented or minimized. Such a combination provides an effective and unique countermeasure to reduce motion sickness so that automated travel can be experienced without nausea. The occupant can specify an individual weighting of the possible combinations depending on their preference. Such a setting can be saved in the individual user profile already described.

In 3 an overview diagram is shown which describes the present system. The physical interactions are shown by a solid line and the transmission of information by a dashed line. The occurring circumstances such as road conditions, driving-related conditions or weather-related conditions cause certain disturbances. These disturbances affect the vehicle 100 or to a certain state in or on the vehicle 100 . These disturbances affect the interior of the vehicle, ie the occupants. These disturbances are caused by the at least one sensor device 4th detected. The at least one sensor device also detects 4th the circumstances inside the vehicle 3 (Interior). On the basis of the sensor parameters, the first control device creates at least one comfort device 6th , for example a vehicle seat adjustment device 7th , an air conditioning device 23 , a lighting device 24 , a sound device 25th controlled and the corresponding comfort parameter modified. The respective occupant can make the (pre-) settings through the interface device. The preferred comfort settings can be made by inputting the driver / front passenger (interface device). Certain comfort modes can also be selected by the occupant (e.g. standard, memory, preferred, dynamic, neutral).

Also all disturbances that originate from the cabin, the body, the chassis, the upcoming road geometry and / or the weather conditions, as well as all events originating from the driver / passenger that affect the driving speed, acceleration and braking of the vehicle taken into account by the first control device. Not only disturbances, but also data from sensors that record the road condition, the vehicle's angular speed and acceleration, the head position of all occupants at all times, thermal cockpit interior data and the artificial horizon are collected in parallel with the human and disturbing inputs mentioned above processed. All of these inputs lead to a comprehensive algorithm that controls visual / haptic / tactile and acoustic signal actions, events that influence the perception of the driver and passengers and thus well-being and comfort. For example, the ambient lighting 24 in combination with LED strips 24 the artificial horizon 47 hold permanently regardless of the movement of the vehicle body. The same procedure can be used on the air outlets 48 following the head position and changing the direction of the air according to the disturbances. The main objective of the suspension unit 7th is to reduce the low frequency vibrations imposed on the driver by vehicle movement and thus prevent the mismatch between visual and vestibular human sensors that has been defined as one of the main causes / effects of kinetosis. In addition, the algorithm can be programmed in such a way that the driver / passenger can play interactive games and experience playful effects with a dynamic sitting posture. In addition, the control algorithm can control the multi-axis suspension so that the weight and inertia of the occupant are at the same level as the suspension under the seat 2 , 2a , 2 B can be converted into recovered energy.
