Methods and systems are provided for an automated door system for a vehicle. In one example, the method for a vehicle may include operating an automated door system to enable hands-free actuation of a set of door vehicles while the height of the vehicle is not changing and when the vehicle height is changing, suspending operation of the automated door system until the floor has stopped changing height.

A control arrangement for an entrance system has one or more movable door members and an automatic door operator for causing movements of the one or more movable door members between closed and open positions. The door members comprise one or more swing doors. The control arrangement comprises a controller and a plurality of sensors. Each sensor is connected to the controller and is configured to monitor a respective zone at the entrance system for presence or activity of a person or object. Each sensor has an active mode and an inactive mode, wherein the sensor consumes no electric power in the inactive mode or substantially less electric power in the inactive mode than in the active mode. The controller is configured to determine a current operational state of the entrance system among a plurality of possible operational states, and selectively cause at least one of the sensors to be in its active mode or in its inactive mode depending on the determined current operational state of the entrance system.

A method for operating a motor vehicle door, according to which method the motor vehicle door is equipped, for example, with an actuator and/or a motor vehicle door lock in the form of a current consumer, and at least one sensor for detecting door movements. In addition, a control unit that evaluates signals from the sensor is provided which can be transferred from a rest mode into an operating mode and back again according to the recorded door movements. According to the invention, the door movement causes the sensor that is deenergised in the rest mode to generate a current pulse.

A power-supply control system includes: a lock control unit that controls a door-lock device; and a travel control unit that controls a travel operating unit related to either driving the power of the vehicle, braking the vehicle, or steering the vehicle. A lock high-level control unit, in a state in which supply of electric power to the lock control unit, the travel operating unit, and the travel control unit is stopped, while the first trigger signal is not outputted from an operation unit, makes electric power not be supplied from a power supply to the lock control unit, the travel operating unit, and the travel control unit, and when the first trigger signal is outputted, starts to supply electric power from the power supply to the lock control unit and the door-lock device and makes the lock control unit execute control to unlock the door-lock device.

A vehicle door assembly including a vehicle door pivotally arranged on a vehicle body, a force-transmitting device for adjusting and/or fixing the vehicle door relative to the vehicle body, wherein the force-transmitting device includes a transmission element for producing a flux of force between the vehicle door and the vehicle body in order to adjust the vehicle door relative to the vehicle body or hold it in position relative to the vehicle body, and a control device for controlling the force-transmitting device. In addition, there is provided a sensor device in the form of an acceleration sensor arranged on the vehicle door for measuring the acceleration of the vehicle door, or a gyrosensor arranged on the vehicle door for measuring the angular velocity of the vehicle door, or a force sensor arranged in the flux of force between the vehicle door and the vehicle body.

A vehicle door assembly may include a vehicle door pivotally arranged on a vehicle body, a drive motor for electromotively adjusting the vehicle door, a transmission element for producing a flux of force between the vehicle door and the vehicle body to adjust the vehicle door relative to the vehicle body, and a control device for controlling the drive motor. The control device may be configured to provide an anti-pinch protection. An acceleration sensor may be arranged on the vehicle door for measuring the acceleration of the vehicle door.

Systems and methods for cloud-based device management. In one implementation, a processing device receives one or more images captured in relation to a device, processes the one or more images to determine a presence of one or more identifiers within the one or more images, based on a determination that an identifier is present within the one or more images, processes the identifier in relation to an information repository to determine a permission status with respect to the identifier; identifies an instruction protocol associated with the device, generates an instruction corresponding to the permission status and the instruction protocol, and provides the instruction to the device.

An automatic door operator is disclosed, including a main control circuit, an actuating unit configured to output torque, and a transmission device. The main control circuit controls operation of the actuating unit to drive a movement of a door leaf through the transmission device. The automatic door operator further includes: a DC power supply configured to supply a DC voltage VDD to the main control circuit; and a standby power switching circuit, connected in series between the DC power supply and the main control circuit, and configured to acquire a switching signal and conduct, or cut off after a preset time period ?t has been elapsed, electric current between the DC power supply and the main control circuit according to the switch signal. A method for driving the automatic door operator is also disclosed. The present disclosure realizes the purpose of saving energy and electricity of the automatic door operator, while increasing the lifetime of the main control circuit.

Provided is a control device for an opening and closing member configured to drive a driving source of an opening and closing member that opens and closes an opening section of a vehicle, and the control device for an opening and closing member includes a power generation detector configured to detect power generation of the driving source, and a controller configured to control driving of the driving source, wherein the controller is changed to a sleep state upon stoppage of the opening and closing member, and is activated from the sleep state to control a braking of the driving source when the power generation detector detects power generation of the driving source.
