A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing rear of the vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU) having an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera. The vehicular vision system, responsive to processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines an individual has moved within a threshold distance of the rear of the vehicle. The vehicular vision system, responsive to determining that the individual has moved within the threshold distance of the vehicle, determines whether the individual is an authorized user of the vehicle. Responsive to at least to determining that the individual is an authorized user of the vehicle, a powered rear lift gate mechanism of the vehicle opens a rear lift gate of the vehicle to allow the user access to the interior of the vehicle.

A sensor outputs distance information indicating a distance to an object located in a detection area. A control device controls an operation of a device to be controlled based on a fact that the distance information satisfies prescribed conditions that include: i) a condition that the distance exhibits a change corresponding to an entry of the object into the detection area; ii) a condition that the distance maintains a first value for at least a first time length; and iii) a condition that a change of the distance including a monotonic decrease from the first value and a subsequent monotonic increase to a second value is finished within a second time length, wherein a difference between the first value and the second value is no greater than a threshold value.

Systems and methods of opening a vehicle liftgate based on an interior radar sensor that may be used to detect a user outside the rear of the vehicle are provided. The interior radar sensor may be installed behind the center line of a headliner of the vehicle, and detect the user's head and/or an upper-body gesture through the rear window of the vehicle. e.g., upon detection of a key fob carried by the user outside the vehicle. Upon detection of a valid gesture, e.g., a predetermined pattern of movement, by the user, the liftgate may be actuated to open.

A sensor outputs distance information indicating a first distance to a first obj ect located in a detection area and a second distance to a second object located in the detection area. A control device allows an operation control of a device to be controlled based on a fact that the distance information satisfies prescribed conditions that include: i) a condition that the first distance and the second distance exhibit changes corresponding to entries of the first object and the second object into the detection area; and ii) a condition that one of the first distance and the second distance monotonically decreases and then monotonically increases while the other one of the first distance and the second distance maintains a first value.

An unattended occupant alarm assembly includes a plurality of passenger pressure pads that is each integrated into a respective passenger seat in a vehicle to detect the weight of a passenger sitting in any other the passenger seats. A driver pressure pad is integrated into a driver's seat of the vehicle to detect the weight of a driver sitting in the driver's seat. A control unit is coupled to the vehicle. The control unit is actuated into an alert condition when the driver pressure pad does not detect the weight of the driver and any of the passenger pressure pads detects the weight of the passenger after a pre-determined duration of time. Additionally, the vehicle horn is actuated to emit an audible alarm and the electric window system is actuated to roll down windows of the vehicle when the control unit is actuated into the alert condition.

A controller device is provided that includes an e-field sensor that includes a transmitter electrode formed of a first conductive material, an isolation layer formed of a dielectric material to at least partially cover the transmitter electrode, a first receive electrode formed on the isolation layer of a second conductive material, and a second receive electrode formed on the isolation layer of the second conductive material, wherein the second receive electrode is a mirror image of the first receive electrode on the isolation layer. A gesture performance by a user within a sensing area of the e-field sensor is detected by comparing a received first signal to a received second signal. When an appliance component is responsive to the detected gesture, a control signal is sent to the appliance component indicating that the appliance component perform an action associated with the detected gesture.

The present disclosure relates to a trunk control method and apparatus, a vehicle, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes acquiring sensing data of a rear area of a vehicle; detecting a target object in the rear area of the vehicle according to the sensing data; and controlling a trunk of the vehicle to close in response to the trunk being in an open state and not detecting the target object.

A method for training a classification device, the method comprising: receiving classification device constraints at an intermediary device; receiving training data at the intermediary device; matching the training data to the classification device constraints to provide constrained training data; mapping the constrained training data to classification device functionality to provide a command model; and transmitting the command model to the classification device.

A control system includes a sensor system that may detect entry of a person into a detection curtain in front of a door, and a controller that may receive a first signal from the sensor system indicating the entry of the person into the detection curtain. The controller may determine a state of the door and generate a second signal responsive to receiving the first signal and while the state of the door indicates that the door can be opened. The control system also may include one or more actuators that may be coupled with the door and to open the door without the person touching the door responsive to receiving the second signal from the controller.

A vehicle may include a camera configured to acquire a face image of a user approaching from outside the vehicle and a gesture image of the user; a communication module configured for communicating with a mobile device; a door locking device configured to lock a door of the vehicle or unlock the door of the vehicle; and a processor configured to perform user authentication based on the user's surface image, and unlock the door when the user authentication is successful, and the processor may be configured to control the communication module to transmit the user's face image to a pre-registered mobile device when the user authentication fails a preset number of times, control the communication module to receive an emergency access signal from the pre-registered mobile device, and control the door locking device to unlock the door when a user's gesture image satisfies an unlock condition.
