A door operating system, including a control unit and at least one sensor device, the system configured to operate a door from a closed state into an opened state. The sensor device is configured to observe an observation area and provide image data to the control unit, which is configured to receive and process the observation image data. Processing the observation image data includes detecting an individual inside the observation area, extracting pose information and/or viewing direction information corresponding to the individual, determining, based on the pose information and/or the viewing direction information, a probability value representing the probability that the individual intends to pass the door, and determining whether the probability value is higher than a probability threshold value, wherein the door operating system operates the door from a closed state in an opened state if the control unit determines that the probability value is higher than a probability threshold value.

A door system includes a controller for controlling the door system. A user computer system transmits information to the controller over a wireless connection to modify operating parameters for controlling the operation of the door system. During installation of the door system sensors may be utilized to determine if the door system has been installed properly. The sensors may be used to identify if the door system is mounted level and plum, and to review the movement, vibration, speed, acceleration, force, or the like of the sensors, and thus, the components to which the sensors are operatively coupled in order to make adjustments to the door assembly. Furthermore, the operating parameters of the installed door system, may be cloned and provided to other door systems in order to quickly clone and distribute the operating parameters of one or more door systems to one or more other door systems.

A vehicle rear door control system includes a vehicle rear door, a keyfob sensor array, a movement detection sensor, a projector and an electronic controller. The keyfob sensor array is configured to detect proximity of an individual with an authorized keyfob. The movement detection sensor installed to the vehicle below the rear door. The projector installed proximate the rear door and aimed to project images to a ground surface rearward of the vehicle proximate the rear door. The electronic controller controls opening operation of the rear door in response to detection of the authorized keyfob and detection of a conforming gesture detected by the movement detection sensor. The electronic controller is further configured to operate the projector to project a position image to the ground surface alerting the individual to stand rearward of a portion of the positioning image during opening of the rear door.

An adjustment device for a vehicle part of a vehicle that can be adjusted comprises a central control unit and a local control unit connected via a communication interface to the central control unit, and directly activates the electrical drive for stopping or reversing an adjustment process upon a specified pinching criterion. The central control unit transmits a triggering threshold value for the operating variable to a respective local control unit with an adjustment request for the vehicle part, and a reaction to be triggered upon reaching the triggering threshold value. The central control unit, as necessary, transmits new values to the respective local control unit during the adjustment process. The local control unit compares the determined values of the operating variable to the current triggering threshold value(s) and independently triggers the reaction transmitted when an operating variable exceeds or falls below the assigned current triggering threshold value.

A drive unit for closing a leaf of a door or a window comprises an energy accumulator for providing a closing force for closing the leaf, a damping device which counteracts the closing force and has an electric motor which can be operated as a generator and can be coupled to an actuating element of the drive unit, and a control device for controlling the electric motor. The control device is designed to determine a nominal path curve which indicates a position of the leaf or a closing speed of the leaf in dependence upon time, and to perform the control of the electric motor in order to damp the closing movement of the leaf on the basis of the established target path curve.

The present disclosure provides a control apparatus and a control method for a sunroof of a vehicle, and the vehicle including the control apparatus. The control apparatus includes an acquisition device, a sensor and a control device. The acquisition device is configured to acquire a precipitation probability value at a place where the vehicle is located, the sensor is configured to measure a humidity value outside the sunroof, and the control device is configured to compare the precipitation probability value and the humidity value with a preset precipitation probability threshold and a preset humidity threshold respectively, so as to control the sunroof.

A method for operating a door system having a door leaf, which is movable by a door actuator, and having a sensor unit, which is arranged at a height above a floor of the door system and with which the approach of a person towards the door leaf is detected by a control unit, includes at least the following steps: determining a direct distance between the sensor unit and the person using the sensor unit; determining a horizontal distance between the sensor unit and the door leaf by a geometric relationship of the person, of the door leaf and of the height of the sensor unit; and determining the probable approach time of the person on the basis of the determined horizontal distance and opening the door leaf. A door system having a control unit may be used to carry out the method.

A vehicle force measurement assembly includes a first rod, a second rod and an electronic controller. The first rod has a strain gauge mounted thereon. The first rod is dimensioned and configured to install to a first side of a vehicle door and a first side of a door opening of a vehicle body structure. The second rod is dimensioned and configured to install to a second side of the vehicle door and a second side of the door opening. The electronic controller is connected to the strain gauge and is wired and configured to detect forces applied to the first rod by the vehicle door in response to predetermined amounts of force being applied to the vehicle door.
