A capacitance sensor includes a switch control unit that performs a first switching process that turns on a first switch and then repeatedly performs a second switching process that complementarily switches off and on second and third switches that are respectively connected to second and third capacitors; an obtaining unit that calculates, as a sensor output value, a number of times the second switching process is repeated until a magnitude relationship reverses between an intermediate potential and a reference potential; a calculation unit that calculates a sensor output corrected value obtained by correcting the sensor output value such that a resolution becomes uniform; and a determination unit that determines whether a detection target exists from a magnitude relationship between a sensor output difference value and a determination threshold value.

A vehicle operation detection device includes a storage unit configured to store a trained model obtained by machine learning using training data in which an image captured in advance and a body part used for a gesture of a user are associated with each other, an entry determination unit configured to determine whether, based on a position of the body part in the image obtained by inputting a newly captured image into the trained model, the body part enters a recognition area set in an imaging area of a camera, and a gesture determination unit configured to calculate a displacement vector of the body part based on images captured at a time interval after it is determined that the body part enters the recognition area, and determine, in accordance with whether a direction of the displacement vector is a direction corresponding to the gesture, whether the gesture is made.

Laser scanner monitors region in front of an opening. Monitoring region is delimited by a frame, in front of which an edge region is located. Propagation time sensing means determines position of an object in the monitoring region by a propagation time measurement of laser pulse, an evaluation unit being provided, by means of which first object information is produced, whether an object was sensed by the propagation time measurement. An intensity sensing means evaluating received laser pulse with respect to the intensity thereof and the sensed intensity is compared with a reference intensity stored in a memory unit. Second object information being provided in the event of deviation beyond a certain threshold value, whether an object is located in the hazard edge region on the basis of the intensity deviation. A “safety signal” generated by the evaluation unit if first or second object information is positive.

A method of operating a motorized flap arrangement of a motor vehicle, the flap arrangement including a flap, configured to be swiveled about a swivel axis, a drive arrangement, a drive controller, configured to control the drive arrangement, and a motion sensor arrangement, the sensor values determined by the motion sensor arrangement are checked for fulfillment of a specified actuation criterion, upon which an actuation effect manually exerted on the flap is deemed to be detected and the drive arrangement is controlled by the drive controller for motorized adjustment of the flap. The motion sensor arrangement arranged on a section of the flap facing away from the swivel axis. The actuation criterion is defined in such a way that the actuation criterion is fulfilled by a torque introduced into the flap before exceeding a breakaway torque of the flap kinematics.

A vehicle cargo compartment system includes an electric outlet mounted within an accessible location within a vehicle cargo compartment and a sensor assembly mounted proximate the electric outlet within the cargo compartment for detecting a presence of an electrical power cord. The cargo compartment system integrates powered features such as an electric outlet, powered tailgate and the powered top that utilizes environmental information gathered by various sensors on the vehicle in combination with predefined actions to simplify use and automate operation.

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 passage gate for allowing or preventing people to enter or to exit a passage area comprising a base portion (110) and a panel portion (120) is provided. The passage gate (100) is configured to be driven in a first operation mode and a second operation mode. When the passage gate (100) is driven in the first operation mode the panel portion (120) is slidable relative the base portion (110) between a first open position, allowing people to pass, and a closed position preventing people from passing through the passage gate (100). When the passage gate (100) is driven in the second operation mode the base portion (110) is rotatable between the closed position and a second open position for achieving a larger passage area.

A sensor assembly for a liftgate opening system for a rear liftgate of a motor vehicle is provided. The rear liftgate includes a door frame, a stationary window, a lock device, and an actuator for moving the lock device between locked and unlocked states. The sensor assembly includes a housing attached to the stationary window and a substrate disposed within the housing. The sensor assembly further includes a capacitive touch sensor engaging a target portion of the stationary window and configured to generate a touch signal, in response to a user touching the target portion of the stationary window. The sensor assembly further includes a proximity sensor generating a proximity signal, in response to the user being disposed within a predetermined distance of the proximity sensor.

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.
