Abstract:
It is provided a method for controlling an adjusting movement of a power-operated adjustable vehicle closing element, such as e.g. a side door or a liftgate, which can automatically be adjusted in the presence of an operating event. By means of a sensor device an operating event is detected in a contactless way. For the detection of an operating event a course of measurement values detected by the sensor device in a detection time interval is evaluated. Furthermore, at least one trigger signal, in particular a trigger signal of defined signal length and/or a trigger signal that triggers an execution of an authentication process preceding the adjustment of the vehicle closing element, in which the presence of a valid identification means in a vicinity of the vehicle is checked, is generated and sent.

Claim (Index 25):
A method for controlling an adjusting movement of a power-operated adjustable vehicle closing element, via which a body opening of a vehicle can be closed and which can automatically be adjusted to clear a body opening in the presence of an operating event, wherein\n by means of a sensor device it is detected in a contactless way as an operating event that a person carries out a particular movement with a body part in a detection area, and for the detection of the operating event a course of measurement values detected by the sensor device in a detection time interval is evaluated, at least one trigger signal with a defined signal length is generated and sent, which triggers at least one operation preceding the adjustment of the vehicle closing element, and at a time in the detection time interval the sending of the trigger signal is started, so that at the end of the detection time interval the trigger signal has not yet reached the defined signal length, and only upon detection of an operating event the trigger signal is sent further until reaching the defined signal length, but otherwise the sending thereof is stopped.
