Capabilities Project - Seating Capabilities

Notes from Kickoff

Below is the start of translating the uServices definitions of seating capabilities to a technology neutral tabular format as agreed in our kick-off meeting on October 18th. Please take a look, iterate, comment and let me know if you have questions Paul Boyes

Agreed by Group:

Start a position D in architecture - see architecture diagram below
Safety considerations to be noted but not exhaustively

Information Types

Seatting.pptx

Aligning on information types is critical

Bolsters and Bladders:

Information Type	Definition	BMW	Ford	GM	Volvo Cars
Seats Seat identity for 3 rows with 3 seats per row, front to back	row1_left	looking towards the front of vehicle from within the vehicle
	row1_center
	row1_right
	row2_left
	row2_center
	row2_right
	row3_left
	row3_center
	row3_right
Moveable (Electrically Driven) Seating Component	Complete seat	Added
	Armrest	Pictures would be good focus must be on Mechatronic components
	Back
	Cushion
	Headrest		tilt		Needs folding capability
	Lumbar		Top, Middle, Lower		Agree with Ford. Inflation level 1-100% Also moveable up/down?
	Neck Scarf		Headrest height?
	Side Bolster Back		Right and Left Back (upper) bolsters		Infalation level 0-100%
	Side Bolster Cushion		Right and Left Cushion (lower) bolsters		Inflation level 0-100%
	Upper Shoulder
	Cushion Front		same as cushion above or is this "Back"?
	Cushion Extension		Thigh Extension? see video		Either works
	Fold Seat				Row 3, Row 2, and possibly row 1 passenger seat
Direction	Forward - toward the front of the vehicle	Needs Clarification. Percent of total? clicks? x, y, z axis values?	fore	depends on the component
	Backward - toward the back of the vehicle		aft	depends on the component
	Up - toward the roof of the vehicle			depends on the component
	Down - toward the bottom of the vehicle			depends on the component
	Inflate - fill with air		increase	depends on the component
	Deflate - remove air		decrease	depends on the component
	Tilt / Recline (angles)			depends on the component
	Swivel
Position	position on horizontal or vertical plane of seat or component	needs clarification Position vs Direction	Needs Clarification. Percent of total? clicks? x, y, z axis values?
Tilt Angle	tilt angle of seat or component	duplicate to Tilt / Recline (angles)
Seat Temperature Mode	On	added	Is "On" covered by heat, cool, or vent?
	Off
	Cool
	Vent
	Heat
Seat Temperature Level	Off	delete covered by Seat temp mode	Concur with comment from BMW
	Auto
	Low
	Med
	High
	Actual temperature	added
Massage Capability	yes/no or true/false	we need a general discover mechanism			Overlaps with with Seat Massage Type
Massage Status	On/Off				Overlaps with Seat Massage Type
Provide / get Massage Patterns	List of available massage patterns for a specific seat, including none.
Seat Massage Type	Off Roll Knead Anti Fatigue Pulse Stretch Lumbar Shoulder Wave Relief Glide		Need discovery capability as will vary by seat.
Massage Intensity	Intensity of massage	??			1-5?
Seat Occupancy Status	Unknown
	Occupied
	Empty
Child seat	Installed	added
Seat Belt Status	Fastened
Seat Belt Status	Unfastened
Seat Occupant ID		??			What is this?
Seat Side	Right Left	duplicate to "SEATS"	Is this side of specific seat?
Delay Between Pulses				internal calibration at the moment, based on the requestor
Haptic Pulses

Capabilities

Column Definitions

Capability: A concise name for the capability
Description: A brief description of the capability and what it does and enables
Inputs: What data (must align with VSS) is required by the capability
Outputs: What data (must align with VSS) is output by the capability
Dependencies: Other capabilities, processes, or systems the capability depends on
Assumptions/Constraints: Any assumptions or limitations that should be considered
Considerations: Including safety, security, performance, regulations, diagnostics…
Location in Architecture: For context where does it sit in an architecture

General questions regarding API invocation:

Can we use "actuate with commands, report with signals" as a general strategy?
Do we use transaction IDs to tie commands to output signals/results?

Capability	Description	Inputs	Outputs	Dependencies	Assumptions /Constraints	Considerations	Location in Architecture	Notes
Control Seat Position Per Seat
Move Seat	Move the identified seat in the specified direction. When a user commands a seat in a certain direction, it will incrementally move in that direction until the user ceases their request.	seat direction	status
Set Seat Position Per Seat	Set the seat position for the identified seat. This is entire seat position.	seat position	status
Move Seat Component	Move the identified seat and component in the specified direction. When a user commands a seat component in a certain direction, it will incrementally move in that direction until the user ceases their request.	seat component direction	status
Set Seat Component Position Per Seat	Set the seat component position for the identified seat. This is position of the component only.	seat seat component position angle	status
Store Seat Position	Stores current seat and component positions	seat Seat Occupant ID
Recall Seat Position	Recall seat and comp	seat seat occupant ID
Fold Headrest	Fold or unfold headrest	Seat Fold or unfold
Fold Seat	Fold or unfold seat	Seat Fold or unfold
Haptic Seat
Activate Haptics	Activate seat haptic notification for driver's seat	seat (driver only) side (left right both) delay between pulses pulses

Get Seat Position Per Seat
Get Seat Position Per Seat	Get the seat position for the identified seat. This is entire seat position.	seat position	status
Get Seat Component Position Per Seat	Get the seat component position for the identified seat. This is position of the component only.	seat seat component position angle	status

Get Seat Heating Mode and Level Per Seat
Get Seat Heating Per Seat	Get the heating mode and level for the identified seat	seat	seat seat temperature mode seat temperature level
Get Seat Component Heating Per Seat	Get the heating mode and level for the identified seat and component	seat seat component	seat seat component seat temperature mode seat temperature level

Get Seat Massage Patterns
Get Seat Massage Patterns	Provides a list of available massage patterns for a specific seat. May be none.	seat	list of available massage patterns					Need to consider in what format? Bounded array of string values?
Control Seat Massage Per Seat
Set Seat Massage Per Seat	Set the massage type and intensity for the identified seat	seat seat massage type (includes none?) massage intensity	status					Suggested that it will be difficult to agree on massage. So likely remove except for basic on/off and status.

Get Seat Massage Per Seat
Get Seat Massage Per Seat	Get the massage type and intensity for the identified seat	seat	seat seat massage type massage intensity
Get Seat Massage Capability	identifies if seats support massage	seat (or all)?	seat massage capability
Get Massage Status	identifies if massage is on or off for specific set(s)	seat (or all)?	seat massage status
Get Seat Occupant Safety Status Per Seat
Get Seat Occupant Safety Per Seat	Get the occupant safety status for the identified seat	seat	seat seat occupancy status seat belt status

Get Seat locatoins in "this" Vehicle
Get Seat Locations	Provides the list of seats available in "this" Vehicle		seat location (like row1_left, row1_center, etc) Is_Present (true/false)
