Claim Text:
1. A vehicle power window apparatus comprising: a driver seat unit that is provided on a driver seat in a vehicle; and a first non-driver seat switch that is provided on a non-driver seat, that is electrically connected to the driver seat unit, and that is used to open and close a non-driver seat window, wherein the driver seat unit comprises: wherein the driver seat unit comprises a switching circuit that is operated based on a predetermined operation of the first non-driver seat switch, wherein the first non-driver seat switch is a manual switch used to open and close the non-driver seat window in a manual operation mode, and the first non-driver seat switch comprises: wherein the driver seat unit comprises a detecting unit that comprises at least one of a voltage detection circuit and a current detection circuit, wherein the voltage detection circuit that detects a voltage at one of the first end and the second end of the non-driver seat motor, and the current detection circuit that detects a current flowing through the non-driver seat motor, wherein when an extended operation of the first non-driver seat switch set by operating the first non-driver seat switch for a certain time period or more is detected based on the voltage or the current detected by the detecting unit in a state where the second non-driver seat switch is not operated, the control unit drives the switching circuit, and wherein after the extended operation of the first non-driver seat switch is released, the control unit fully opens or closes the non-driver seat window in an automatic operation mode by energizing the non-driver seat motor via the switching circuit and the first non-driver seat switch by the power supply.
