Method for detecting actuating movement for sensor-controlled activation of actuator for fitting element of motor vehicle, involves determining direction of actuating movement within overlapping detection areas as valid movement direction

摘要

The method involves determining the direction of actuating movement within the overlapping detection areas as a valid movement direction for actuating the motor vehicle-fitting element. The movement through the detection areas is detected by two sensors and the total duration of the movement through the detection areas is determined with a control device. An independent claim is also included for a sensor-controlled actuator with a data processing unit for a motor vehicle-fitting element.
