Patent ID: 8436628

Claim:
Capacitive sensor system comprising a sensor circuit operationally connected to a first ( 15 ) and a second ( 11 ) antenna, the first antenna ( 15 ) arranged on a first object ( 10 ) and the second antenna ( 11 ) arranged on a second object ( 11 ) movable relative to said first object ( 10 ), wherein the first antenna ( 15 ) is arranged right next to the second object ( 11 ) for the sensor circuit to detect a movement and/or position of the second object ( 11 ) and arranged in such a way that a variable capacitance is formed between the first antenna and the second antenna such that a human body movement close to the second antenna has little or no influence on object position measurement results of the sensor circuit, wherein the sensor circuit detects the movement and/or position of the second object ( 11 ) by comparing a measured capacitance with a stored relationship between capacitances and a plurality of respective different open positions of the second object ( 11 ), wherein the second object ( 11 ) is a door rotatably or slideably mounted on the first object ( 10 ), and the second antenna ( 11 ) is formed as a cover sheet on the door, and wherein the first antenna ( 15 ) extends from the first object ( 10 ) so as to extend over an end face of the door.
