  • Patent number: 12123246
    Abstract: A method of operating a motorized flap arrangement of a motor vehicle, the flap arrangement including a flap, configured to be swiveled about a swivel axis, a drive arrangement, a drive controller, configured to control the drive arrangement, and a motion sensor arrangement, the sensor values determined by the motion sensor arrangement are checked for fulfillment of a specified actuation criterion, upon which an actuation effect manually exerted on the flap is deemed to be detected and the drive arrangement is controlled by the drive controller for motorized adjustment of the flap. The motion sensor arrangement arranged on a section of the flap facing away from the swivel axis. The actuation criterion is defined in such a way that the actuation criterion is fulfilled by a torque introduced into the flap before exceeding a breakaway torque of the flap kinematics.
