Abstract: During opening and closing actions of a window glass, the presence or absence of pinching of a foreign object in a window is determined on the basis of an amount of change in the movement speed of the window glass and a threshold value stored in a storage unit, and a drive direction of a motor is reversed in order to release a foreign object if it is determined that pinching is present. A threshold value update unit updates threshold values for pinching determination on the basis of the amount of change in the movement speed of the window glass for specific ranges of an entire movement range of the window glass. In addition, a threshold value for pinching determination for a range other than the specific ranges is set to be a preset fixed value.

Abstract: If closing operation to the passenger's seat sub switch continues for not less than a prescribed time period Tb, a passenger's seat relay contact on a close side is turned ON. If the closing operation to the passenger's seat sub switch thereafter ends before a prescribed time period Tc elapses, the passenger's seat relay contact on the close side is kept ON. If opening operation to the passenger's seat sub switch continues for not less than the prescribed time period Tb, a passenger's seat relay contact on an open side is turned ON. If the opening operation to the passenger's seat sub switch thereafter ends before the prescribed time period Tc elapses, the passenger's seat relay contact on the open side is kept ON. The invention is applicable to an automatic window system and the like.

Abstract: The invention improves detection accuracy of interposition at a vehicle window. An interposition detector determines that a window at a passenger's seat has interposition if motor current for opening and closing the window at the passenger's seat does not decrease to be less than a predetermined threshold but increases to be not less than a second threshold, or if the motor current does not decreases to be less than the predetermined threshold but increases at a predetermined or more increase rate. The interposition detector determines that the window at the passenger's seat does not have interposition if the motor current is less than the predetermine threshold. The invention is applicable to an automatic window system and the like.

Abstract: The driver seat unit and the other-seat unit are connected by the single signal line. A direction of a current passed through a motor is switched using contacts of a window opening switch and a window closing switch in the other-seat unit. When a window closing manipulation is performed by the driver seat unit, the current is passed through a coil of a relay via the contacts of the window closing switch, and a contact of the relay is switched to pass a forward current through the motor. When a window opening manipulation is performed by the driver seat unit, the current is passed through a coil of a relay via the contacts of the window opening switch, and a contact of the relay is switched to pass a reverse current through the motor.
