Abstract:
1. An opening and closing member control apparatus including an opening and closing member that moves in an open or close direction to at least partially open or close, respectively, an area within a window frame of the opening and closing member control apparatus, the opening and closing member control apparatus comprising: a driving motor which drives the opening and closing member in the open direction or the close direction; a control circuit which controls operation of the driving motor; a manipulation switch which outputs an open command signal or a close command signal to the control circuit, the open command signal indicating driving of the opening and closing member in the open direction, the close command signal indicating driving of the opening and closing member in the close direction, an operating state detection section which outputs an operating state detection signal according to an operating state of the opening and closing member that is driven in the open direction or in the close direction by the driving motor; a trapping detection section which detects whether a foreign matter is trapped between the window frame and the opening and closing member, moving in the open direction, based on the operating state detection signal; and a pinching detection section which detects whether another foreign matter is pinched between the window frame and the opening and closing member, moving in the close direction, based on the operating state detection signal, the control circuit being further configured to restrict supplying an electric power to the driving motor to stop the opening and closing member moving in the open direction when the trapping detection section detects that the foreign matter is trapped, the opening and closing member moving in the open direction having been started based on the open command signal from the manipulation switch, and to then supply the electric power to the driving motor to drive the opening and closing member in the close direction under a restricted state when receiving the close command signal from the manipulation switch after restricting supplying the electric power, the restricted state restricting a predetermined operation.
