A door component for pivoting a movable door of a motor vehicle has a drive with an electric drive motor in order to influence a pivoting of the door between a closed setting and an open setting. A position measure for an angular setting of the door leaf and a speed parameter for an angular speed of the door leaf are detected by a position sensor. During a pivoting of the door leaf with the speed parameter, an electrical setpoint current intensity for the electric drive motor is ascertained, and an associated setpoint voltage is set. Then the current intensity flowing through the drive motor is ascertained. The setpoint voltage is increased if the current intensity is lower than the electrical setpoint current intensity, and the setpoint voltage is decreased if the current intensity is higher than the electrical setpoint current intensity.

A door drive device for adjusting and/or locking a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body includes an adjustment member and a drive element operatively coupled to the adjustment member. A sensor is configured to measure movement of the vehicle door and/or a force acting onto the vehicle door and to output a sensor signal. A control device is configured to control operation of the door drive device and is programmed to detect an action onto the vehicle door indicative of a user command for moving the vehicle door based on the sensor signal, and conclude for an action onto the vehicle door indicative of a user command for moving the vehicle door by evaluating a characteristic value derived from the sensor signal based on a decision parameter, wherein the decision parameter is variable depending on a movement direction of the vehicle door.

A vehicle door handle mounting structure (1) includes: a vehicle door (3) including a decoration member (5) mounted on a front side of an outer panel (31) and having a coupling portion (522) that is placed in an opening (312) of the outer panel (31); a door handle (4) mounted in the decoration member (5); and a bracket (9) coupled to the coupling portion (522) from a back side of the outer panel (31) and, together with the decoration member (5), holding the outer panel (31) therebetween.

An opening and closing system includes a first human detection sensor configured to detect a vehicle user who enters a first area defined on a periphery of a vehicle body, a lamp visible by the vehicle user who enters the first area, and a control device configured to control an unlocking operation of the lock device, a closing operation of the striker device, a pop-up operation of the striker device, and switching on and off of the lamp. The control device switches on the lamp when the vehicle user is detected by the first human detection sensor and starts the controlling of the unlocking operation of the lock device and the closing operation and the pop-up operation of the striker device in response to the lamp being switched on.

A vehicle operation detection device includes processing circuitry configured to output a command causing an opening-closing body of a vehicle to open and close in reference to capacitances of sensor electrodes arranged so as to form a row. The processing circuitry is configured to determine that a first operation has been performed when one of the sensor electrodes of which the capacitance increases is sequentially shifted in a first direction from an operation start electrode and determine that a second operation has been performed when the shifting is performed in a second direction. The sensor electrodes include an adjacent electrode adjacent to the operation start electrode. The processing circuitry is configured to determine that the capacitance of the adjacent electrode has increased when the capacitance becomes greater than or equal to a second determination value that is greater than a first determination value.

Disclosed is a vehicle door and window opening system comprising a controller that includes a user control, a motion sensor configured to detect a first defined motion and a second defined motion of the controller, and a transmitter configured to transmit signals related to the motion sensor and the user control. The system also includes at least one actuator, a receiver configured to receive the signals, and a control unit in communication with the receiver and the at least one actuator. When the user control is activated and released, the control unit commands a first action from the at least one actuator. When the user control is activated and held while the motion sensor detects the first defined motion, the control unit commands a second action from the at least one actuator. When the user control is activated and held while the motion sensor detects the second defined motion, the control unit commands a third action from the at least one actuator.

A security door configured to provide controlled access through a doorway wherein the security door of the present invention includes all elements to offer a touch-less entry and further provide compliance with building codes and visual surveillance. The security door of the present invention includes a door member being hingedly mounted on a doorway. The door member includes an integrally mounted controller that is operably coupled to a communications network via a network module and communications cable. The controller is operably coupled to a card scanner module and a switch module that operate to provide verification of an individual and move the door member to an open position. The door member further includes an integrally mounted power supply and at least one camera module wherein the camera module is operable to capture photographic images. A light module and egress module are integrally mounted to the door member.

A lockable coupling device comprising: a base member releasably connectable to a release member by interengageble portions, the base and release members configurable between coupled and release configurations; a coupling mechanism for permitting actuation between the coupled and release configurations, and including an actuator operatively connected to at least one of the interengageable portions and moveable between a first state permitting engagement of the interengagable portions in the coupled configurations, and a second state releasing engagement of the interengageable portions; a locking mechanism for locking and releasing the coupled configuration, the locking mechanism comprising: an operator input portion operatively connected to a latch portion and configured to: lock the coupled position by causing the latch to engage with the actuator to prevent the actuator moving from the first state to the second state, and unlock the coupled configuration by permitting movement of the actuator from first to second position.

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.
