SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING OPENING AND CLOSING OF A VEHICLE WINDOW
20220065022 · 2022-03-03 ·

A system, method and computer program product for detecting, by at least a first sensor, a position and/or movement of an object at or on at least first window, determining, if the position and/or movement of the object detected by the at least first sensor represents an intention by a vehicle occupant to move the at least first window, and responsive to a determination that the position and/or movement of the of the object represents an intention by the vehicle occupant to move the at least first window, cause the at least first window controller to initiate a movement of the at least first window accordingly.

CONFIGURATION OF ENTRANCE SYSTEMS HAVING ONE OR MORE MOVABLE DOOR MEMBERS
20210222479 · 2021-07-22 ·

An entrance system (1) is disclosed which has a movable door member (10; DM1 . . . DMm) having a door leaf (12) with a first vertical edge (14L) and a second vertical edge (14S). An automatic door operator (30) with a motor (34) is capable of causing movement of the door member (10; DM1 . . . DMm). A sensor unit (300; S1) is provided for monitoring a zone (Z1) at or near the door leaf (12) for presence or activity of a person or object. The sensor unit (300) is designed for capturing (710) an image of an external object (380) at the first vertical edge (14L) of the door leaf (12), and processing (720) the captured image to identify an optical code (360) and recognize a learning mode trigger instruction (370) encoded therein. Triggered by the recognizing of the learning mode trigger instruction (370), a learning mode (352) of the sensor unit (300; S1) is automatically entered into step (730). In the learning mode (352), as entered when triggered by the recognizing of the learning mode trigger instruction (370), a distance (D1) between the sensor unit (300; S1) and the external object (380) at the first vertical edge (14L) is automatically measured (740), and a field width parameter value (FW) of the sensor unit (300; S1) is set based on the measured distance (D1).

SELF-LEARNING GATE PADDLES FOR SAFE OPERATION
20210224552 · 2021-07-22 ·

A system and method for self-learning operation of gate paddles is disclosed. Opening and closing of the gate paddles requires timing and other settings to avoid injury and fare evasion. Self-learning allows a machine learning model to adapt to new data dynamically. The new data captured at a fare gate improves the machine learning model, which can be shared the other similar fare gates within a transit system so that learning disseminates.

CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR
20210189788 · 2021-06-24 ·

A control system for a sliding door operator system (1) having at least one sliding wing (12, 14) and a door header (16) is provided. The control system comprises a first sensor (20a) configured to define a first activation zone (A1), a first wing presence zone (W1) and a first side presence zone (S1). The system further comprises a controller (30) configured to evaluate data from the first sensor (20a) for controlling the operation of the at least one sliding wing (12, 14) in the sliding door operator system (1).

FINGER PINCH PROTECTION FOR AN ENTRANCE SYSTEM

Disclosed is a method (50) of providing finger pinch protection at a hinge area of a swing door-based entrance system (1) having a motorized automatic door operator (30) for opening (2) of the swing door (10) in an automatic mode of the entrance system (1), wherein the entrance system (1) also has a manual mode in which a human user may cause opening and closing of the swing door (10) by manual force. The method involves monitoring (52), by a first sensor function (S1), for presence of a person or object in a first zone (PD) at the first door leaf surface (12-1) and non-proximate to a vertical door edge (14). The method also involves monitoring, by a second sensor function (S2), for presence of a person or object in a second zone (PDHA) at the first door leaf surface (12-1) and proximate to said vertical door edge (14). When any of the first sensor function (S1) or second sensor function (S2) detects presence in the first zone (PD) or second zone (PDHA) in the automatic mode during an ongoing opening of the swing door (10), the automatic door operator (30) is controlled so as to stop opening of the swing door (10). When the second sensor function (S2) detects presence in the second zone (PDHA) in the manual mode, the automatic door operator (30) is controlled so as to counteract an attempt by a human user to manually open the swing door (10). A corresponding entrance system (1) is also disclosed.
