An access control system for a vehicle includes a rear closure and a system that controls movement of the rear closure between closed and open positions. The control system including a controller and a wireless communication module having a wireless interface configured for short range wireless communication. The controller receives an actuation signal requesting transition of the rear closure to an open position from a mobile communication device carried by a vehicle user. The controller then determines when the user enters authentication and actuation zones proximate the vehicle via communication between the wireless communication module and a short range wireless communication device carried by the user. One the user is within the actuation zone, the controller generates a rear closure control signal configured to cause the rear closure to move from the closed position to the open position.

A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining a food storage chamber. A door is positioned on the cabinet and is movable between a closed position and an open position. A door opener includes a casing, a gear box, a sliding nut movable relative to the gear box, and a finger extending through the gear box. The finger is movable with the sliding nut. The door opener also includes a sensor. The finger extends outside of the casing to contact an inner surface of the door when the door is in the closed position and the door opener is in a zero position. The sensor is configured to detect movement of the door opener from the zero position.

Motion detection using channel impulse response signals and related systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed. An apparatus includes an analog input terminal of a receiver processing circuitry, an analog to digital converter (ADC) circuitry, and a processor. The analog input terminal receives a reflected predetermined pattern signal provided by a receiver antenna. The ADC circuitry samples the reflected predetermined pattern signal received by the analog input terminal to generate reflected predetermined pattern samples. The processor determines an average of magnitudes of a sum of collections of the reflected predetermined pattern samples and determines whether a moving object is sensed responsive to the determined average and a predetermined threshold value.

A refrigerator is configured to enable a user to open doors of the refrigerator easily. The refrigerator performs a method for controlling the doors to prevent from opening due to a malfunction.

Disclosed in this specification is a system for implementing an automatic door using a transparent display including an automatic door casing disposed around an entrance, a plurality of transparent display modules inserted into the automatic door casing or exposed to the outside to open and close the entrance, a sensor installed within a predetermined distance from the plurality of transparent display modules, wherein the sensor senses an object, a driver that controls at least one of the plurality of transparent display modules to be inserted into the automatic door casing or exposed to the outside based on a sensing result of the sensor, a door frame connected to the driver, wherein the door frame supports the plurality of transparent display modules, and a plurality of control boxes that respectively transmits different video data to the plurality of transparent display modules based on the sensing result of the sensor.

A touchless stall door opening and closing system includes a motor, a door pivot for pivoting a door between an open position and a closed position, a locking mechanism for locking the door when the door is in the closed position, and a microcontroller for receiving a signal from a first sensor to drive the motor for opening the door and for receiving a signal from a second sensor for actuating the locking mechanism for unlocking the door. A method for touchless operation of the door includes touchless opening of the door, touchless closing of the door, and touchless locking and unlocking of the door.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus which communicates with a voice recognition device, and a method for controlling an apparatus with a voice recognition capability which operates in the Internet of Things environment configured by a 5G communication network. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an apparatus with a voice recognition capability includes a container which has one open surface and accommodates objects therein, a door which opens/closes the container, a sensor which senses an open/closed state of the door, a microphone which receives an external voice, a voice recognizer which recognizes a voice command received from the microphone, and a controller which controls an active state and an inactive state of the voice recognizer, in which the controller may predict whether the voice recognizer needs to be activated using a deep neural network model learned through the machine learning.

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.

A method for controlling at least one door system for separating an entrance side in front of the door system from an exit side behind the door system, with the door system (100) being configured with a sensor unit for detecting at least one person within a sensor detection region, and furthermore an authentication device for authenticating people is provided at least on the entrance side in front of the door system. The method includes the following steps: granting an access authorization to the person by the authentication device, detecting the position of the authenticated person by the sensor unit in the sensor detection region, continuously tracking the person in the sensor detection region by the sensor unit and activating an opening of the leaf element of the door system by the door drive when the authenticated person approaches the at least one leaf element.

A refrigerator is configured to enable a user to open doors of the refrigerator easily. The refrigerator performs a method for controlling the doors to prevent from opening due to a malfunction.
