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 14):
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 is generated and sent, which 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, and at least one measurement value detected for the presence of an operating event is utilized to trigger the sending of the trigger signal for the authentication process, before the detection time interval has elapsed and before the course of the measurement values can be evaluated as to whether an operating event is present.
