Abstract: The method and system being applicable to any number of motors of the type used to drive moveable members, including but not limited to motors used to drive automatic vehicle windows and motors used to drive automatic vehicle seats.

Abstract: Method of controlling a movable member driven by an electric motor by monitoring current circulating through the electric current and ripples therein. The method including detecting current peaks and count the number of current peaks falling within sampling windows such that the number of current peaks falling within the sampling windows are used to determine an angular position of the electric motor for use in facilitating the control thereof.

Abstract: The mobile element is a vehicle window pane, panel, movable seat or similar, conveniently guided, and driven by a DC electric motor with a permanent magnet, and the method comprises a step of detecting an entrapment or collision situation of the mobile element by means of a first fuzzy logic algorithm, which inputs are the mobile element's position and the increments that may occur in the intensity of the current demanded by said motor, which is evaluated from the relative increase of the current intensity at one turn of the motor and after one next, subsequent turn of the motor. A second fuzzy logic algorithm is used to control the mobile element's velocity, in close loop.
