  • Publication number: 20220371476
    Abstract: A control arrangement for a drive arrangement of a motor vehicle interior element, the interior element is adjustable and lockable in position by aid of adjustment kinematics, the drive arrangement configured to adjust the interior element with the aid of adjustment kinematics and an interior sensor arrangement for detecting an object, the control arrangement activates the drive in an adjustment routine to adjust the interior element in a rotational motion from an initial angle to a terminal angle. The control arrangement activates the adjustment routine based on sensor data for the object, acquired by means of the interior sensor. The control arrangement includes an interior-element model of geometry of the interior element and the adjustment kinematics and generates a geometric object model based on the sensor data, to determine the terminal angle based on the interior-element model and the object model, adhering to a separation specification.

  • Publication number: 20220274509
    Abstract: A vehicle provided with a vehicle interior including an interior surface and at least one interior object provided for arrangement and fixation in the vehicle interior, an electronic detection device is provided, which is adapted to detect a position of the interior object on the interior surface. The at least one interior object includes at least one drive device for a non-mechanically guided displacement of the interior object on the interior surface of the vehicle, and the electronic detection device adapted to detect the reaching of a specified fixing position on the interior surface by the interior object.

  • Publication number: 20220276378
    Abstract: A control system for actuating a motor vehicle component of a motor vehicle including a positioning system made of multiple positioning units of a first type and multiple positioning units of a second type, and configured to generate positioning information relating to an operator located in the surroundings of the motor vehicle. The positioning system has multiple positioning modules, each positioning module is paired with a separate module installation area, and the positioning modules in each paired module installation area.

  • Patent number: 11365580
    Abstract: A method for adjusting an adjusting part on a vehicle, wherein a possible obstacle in an adjustment path of the adjusting part which is to be adjusted can be detected by means of at least one sensor device, in order to block, stop and/or reverse an adjustment movement of the adjusting part. There is provision that at least one status indicator for the at least one sensor device is generated electronically, by means of which data indicator at least two different first and second operating states of the sensor device can be signaled, and for the adjustment movement of the adjusting part at least one current status information item of at least two different status information items relating to the current operating state of the at least one sensor device is signaled in accordance with the status indicator, in order to be perceived by a user.

  • Publication number: 20210086662
    Abstract: A method for operating an interior of a motor vehicle, having a number of electro-motive adjusting drives which each have an adjusting part, to which an adjusting path is assigned. The position of the adjusting parts is detected by means of a 3D sensor which is spaced apart from the electromotive adjusting drives. Said method further relates to an interior of a motor vehicle.
