There are provided a new and improved control device, control method, and storage medium that can further reduce a user's burden.

A control device includes a control section configured to control opening and closing of a structure. the control section controls an opening operation or a closing operation of the structure to match an operation direction of the structure obtained by a sensor provided to the structure, and the control section further controls the closing operation of the structure until the structure is fully closed when the operation direction of the structure obtained by the sensor is a closing direction, and controls the opening operation of the structure until the structure is fully opened when the operation direction of the structure obtained by the sensor is an opening direction.

A diagnosis system diagnoses the integrity of an opening/closing device capable of opening and closing by driving a motor. A driving current acquisition unit acquires a driving current of the motor. A diagnosis unit defines a current waveform from a temporal change of the driving current acquired by the driving current acquisition unit and diagnoses the integrity of the opening/closing device based on the current waveform.

An open-roof assembly is configured for covering or at least partly uncovering an opening in a vehicle roof. The open-roof assembly comprises a frame defining the opening, a moveably arranged closure member and a pressure-sensitive sensor device. The open-roof assembly comprises a closed state, in which the closure member covers the opening in the vehicle roof, and an open state, in which the closure member uncovers the roof opening at least partly. The pressure-sensitive sensor device is arranged between the closure member and the frame for detecting presence of an object between the closure member and the frame, at least when the closure member is moving from the open state towards the closed state. The pressure-sensitive sensor device extends over a device length and is configured to detect a location of a local pressure, which local pressure is exerted locally on the pressure-sensitive sensor device, along the device length.

A sliding door driving device includes: a power source; a motor that outputs power to open and close the door; a motor driving circuit that connects the power source and the motor to each other; and a motor control device that controls the motor driving circuit. The motor control device includes an inverter that converts DC power supplied from the power source into AC power, and a shunt resistor disposed between the power source and the inverter. The position detection unit of the motor control device obtains the rotation angle of the motor based on the output of the shunt resistor.

A method for positioning a movably arranged panel comprises the steps of determining a panel braking distance based on a physical property of the moveable panel and a physical property of at least one of a drive assembly and a drive motor. The panel braking distance corresponds to a distance covered by the moveable panel in a period of time starting from a decision to switch off the drive motor until stand-still of the moveable panel. The drive motor is switched off when an expected stop position is within a predetermined range around a desired stop position.
