Patent number: 12384248Abstract: A method for actuating a motor-driven flap assembly of a vehicle. A control assembly is provided for actuating a motor drive assembly which is paired with the flap assembly, and a distance sensor which is coupled to the control assembly is also provided. Sensor signals are detected by the distance sensor in order to detect an operator action carried out by an operator of the vehicle, wherein the sensor signals are analyzed by the control assembly in an analysis routine in order to detect a specified operator action, and the chive assembly is actuated by the control assembly upon detecting the specified operator action. In some embodiments, when a specified charging criterion is satisfied, the analysis routine is carried out by the control assembly in a specified charging mode, in which the analysis of the sensor signals is modified on the basis of an analysis during a normal operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile SE & Co.

Patent number: 12339354Abstract: A method for identifying and classifying objects in the surroundings of a motor vehicle, which method uses merely a single sensor for object detection. The method is characterized in that this single sensor moves in space while the object is being detected. In this case, during the measurement, the single sensor would act to a certain extent like a second sensor. The echo signals, reflected by the object, of different measurement cycles can be used to determine the differential speed, distance and angle. The method provides the possibility of being able to classify, by means of a single sensor, objects and items in the surroundings of a motor vehicle in terms of their size.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: June 24, 2025Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile SE & Co.
