Abstract

Provided a method for controlling the driving of an electric seat, the method including a step of detecting a motor driving signal of an electric seat; a stop determination step of determining whether the motor is forcibly terminated or normally terminated during the previous driving; and a driving step of driving the motor with a preset driving output value when previous driving of the motor is forcibly terminated.

Claims (11)

1. A method for controlling a motor-driven seat comprising a motor, the method comprising:

detecting a motor drive signal of the motor-driven seat;

when the motor drive signal is detected, determining whether a previous driving of the motor was forcibly terminated or normally terminated;

when it is determined that the previous driving was forcibly terminated, operating the motor to produce a predetermined maximum output; and

when it is determined that the previous driving was normally terminated, repeating turning-on and turning-off of the motor such that the motor produces a normal output that is less than the predetermined maximum output.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a current value of the motor; and

when the current value is equal to or greater than a preset limit current value, forcibly terminating operation of the motor and storing a record of forcible termination.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

when the current value is equal to or less than a preset normal current value, normally terminating operation of the motor and storing a record of normal termination.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining that the previous driving was forcibly terminated is made based on the record of forcible termination, wherein that the previous driving was normally terminated is made based on the record of normal termination.
