Method for adjusting a temperature of a seat

1. A method for adjusting a temperature of a temperature adjustable seat, the method comprising:

detecting a clothing item of an occupant of the temperature adjustable seat;

determining a type of the detected clothing item by determining clothing specific information associated with the detected clothing item, the clothing specific information including a parameter indicative of a thermal transfer behavior of the clothing item; and

adjusting a temperature of the temperature adjustable seat based on the determined type of the detected clothing item.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature adjustable seat is a temperature adjustable vehicle seat.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the clothing item is detected by a detection unit included in the temperature adjustable seat and/or wherein the type of the detected clothing item is determined by a determination unit included in the temperature adjustable seat.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the clothing specific information is customizable to personal preferences of the occupant.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining a type of the detected clothing item further comprises:

comparing the determined type of the detected clothing item with a predetermined reference information; and

generating a seat temperature adjustment signal based on the comparison.

6. A method for adjusting a temperature of a temperature adjustable seat, the method comprising:

detecting a plurality of clothing items of an occupant of the temperature adjustable seat;

determining for each detected clothing item of the plurality of detected clothing items a type of the detected clothing item;

selecting from the plurality of detected clothing items at least one clothing item that is considered to be taken into account for adjusting a temperature of the temperature adjustable seat based on the determined type of each detected clothing item; and

adjusting the temperature of the temperature adjustable seat based on the determined type of the selected at least one clothing item.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature adjustable seat includes a plurality of temperature adjustable regions and the method further comprises:

assigning the determined type of the detected clothing item to at least one of the plurality of temperature adjustable regions; and

performing the step of adjusting a temperature of the temperature adjustable seat by

adjusting a temperature of the at least one assigned temperature adjustable region; and/or

adjusting a temperature of at least one temperature adjustable region not assigned to the determined type of the detected clothing item.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the step of assigning the determined type of the detected clothing item to at least one of the plurality of temperature adjustable regions further comprises:

detecting a body proportion of the occupant; and

assigning the determined type of the detected clothing item with at least one of the plurality of temperature adjustable regions based on the detected body proportion.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether the temperature adjustable seat is occupied; and

detecting the clothing item of the occupant of the temperature adjustable seat only if the temperature adjustable seat is occupied.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature adjustable seat includes a seat cover and the method further comprises:

determining a parameter indicative of a material of the seat cover; and

adjusting a temperature of the temperature adjustable seat based on the determined parameter.

11. A seat temperature adjustment assembly for adjusting a temperature of a temperature adjustable seat, the seat temperature adjustment assembly configured to perform the method of claim 1 .

12. A temperature adjustable seat, comprising:

at least one temperature adjustable region configured to adjust a temperature of the temperature adjustable seat; and

a seat temperature adjustment assembly of claim 11 , wherein the seat temperature adjustment assembly is connected to the at least one temperature adjustable region for adjusting a temperature of the at least one temperature adjustable region.

13. The temperature adjustable seat of claim 12 , wherein the temperature adjustable seat is a temperature adjustable vehicle seat.

14. The method of claim 2 , wherein the clothing item is detected by a detection unit included in the temperature adjustable seat and/or wherein the type of the detected clothing item is determined by a determination unit included in the temperature adjustable seat.
