The Intelligent Door Opening system consists of several devices that work together to identify approaching individuals, verify that they should be allowed access, which can be conducted by several different means. Once they have been approved the system will then grant them access by opening the door and then closing said door when the individual has entered the building. The Intelligent Door Opening system will also comprise several devices to add additional security to the primaries home, examples being a deadbolt that stops hackers from being able to control the other devices, a camera, and a secure locking system. The intelligent Door Opening system will add all the convenience of an automatic door as seen at a mall, but with the security to ensure that only people that are allowed access will be allowed to enter.

A controlling method of a vehicle includes: detecting a location of a user around the vehicle in response to receiving opening closing signals for opening and closing a power tail gate of the vehicle, respectively; and controlling opening and closing speeds of the power tail gate according to a distance between the vehicle and the user when opening and closing the power tail gate, respectively, in response to receiving the respective opening and closing signals of the power tail gate.

A method for controlling a motorized flap assembly of a motor vehicle, wherein the flap assembly includes a pivotable flap, a drive arrangement associated with the flap and a control arrangement for controlling the drive arrangement. A position sensor for determining position information related to the position of a selected component of the flap assembly is associated with the flap assembly and movement commands for the drive arrangement are generated by the control arrangement based on the position information, to close the flap to an upright closed position during a motorized closing process and to open the flap to a horizontal open position during a motorized opening process. The pivoted open flap may be occupied by an object or a person. The position sensor detects the object or person based on at least one occupancy criterion and an occupancy reaction is triggered depending on the detected occupancy state.

A method for adjusting an adjusting part on a vehicle, wherein a possible obstacle in an adjustment path of the adjusting part which is to be adjusted can be detected by means of at least one sensor device, in order to block, stop and/or reverse an adjustment movement of the adjusting part. There is provision that at least one status indicator for the at least one sensor device is generated electronically, by means of which data indicator at least two different first and second operating states of the sensor device can be signaled, and for the adjustment movement of the adjusting part at least one current status information item of at least two different status information items relating to the current operating state of the at least one sensor device is signaled in accordance with the status indicator, in order to be perceived by a user.

A system for adjusting a closure element of a vehicle comprises an adjustment drive for adjusting the closure element relative to a vehicle body of the vehicle between a closed position and an open position, a control device for actuating the adjustment drive for executing an adjusting movement of the closure element between the closed position and the open position, and a light generating device for generating a light signal. The control device is configured to actuate the light generating device for generating a first light signal during an adjusting movement of the closure element and for generating a second light signal when the closure element is in the open position.

A lavatory door system for a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, with a lavatory door; a pneumatic actuator configured to open and close the lavatory door based on a differential pressure, wherein the pneumatic actuator is coupled to a vacuum toilet system of the vehicle to generate the differential pressure; and an operating interface configured to receive a user control operation and to selectively release the differential pressure from the vacuum toilet system for operation of the pneumatic actuator based on the received user control operation.

The proposed solution in particular relates to a method for generating a haptic feedback on a vehicle part including an operating element that is accessible for a user for manual actuation, and in response to an electronically detected actuation of the operating element, a feedback haptically perceptible for the user is generated in that the vehicle part and the operating element is adjusted back and forth in a power-operated way or is put into vibration.

A method for controlling a motorized flap assembly of a motor vehicle, wherein the flap assembly includes a pivotable flap, a drive arrangement associated with the flap and a control arrangement for controlling the drive arrangement. A position sensor for determining position information related to the position of a selected component of the flap assembly is associated with the flap assembly and movement commands for the drive arrangement are generated by the control arrangement based on the position information, to close the flap to an upright closed position during a motorized closing process and to open the flap to a horizontal open position during a motorized opening process. The pivoted open flap may be occupied by an object or a person. The position sensor detects the object or person based on at least one occupancy criterion and an occupancy reaction is triggered depending on the detected occupancy state.

A passenger transport vehicle that includes at least one door, an optical detection module to dynamically detect a current fill value representing a number of occupants in the passenger transport vehicle, and a control module operatively connected to the at least one door and the optical detection module. The control module is configured to automatically initiate a closing sequence that includes movement of the door to a closed position once the detected current fill value reaches a predetermined threshold fill value for the passenger transport vehicle.

A method for adjusting an adjusting part on a vehicle, wherein a possible obstacle in an adjustment path of the adjusting part which is to be adjusted can be detected by means of at least one sensor device, in order to block, stop and/or reverse an adjustment movement of the adjusting part. There is provision that at least one status indicator for the at least one sensor device is generated electronically, by means of which data indicator at least two different first and second operating states of the sensor device can be signaled, and for the adjustment movement of the adjusting part at least one current status information item of at least two different status information items relating to the current operating state of the at least one sensor device is signaled in accordance with the status indicator, in order to be perceived by a user.
