  • Patent number: 9677315
    Abstract: A door opening/closing control device includes: a driving part driving an actuator opening or closing a door; an operation switch operated for instructing opening/closing or stopping of the door; a first controller controlling driving of the actuator via the driving part in accordance with the operation; a manual opening/closing detector detecting that the door is manually opened or closed; and a second controller controlling the driving of the actuator via the driving part to assist a manual operation of opening or closing the door when the manual opening/closing detector detects the manual opening/closing operation. Then, when the second controller controls the driving of the actuator to assist the manual operation of opening or closing the door, even when the operation switch is operated, the first controller does not control the driving of the actuator in accordance with the operation, and the second controller continues to control the driving.

  • Patent number: 9522590
    Abstract: An unintentional operation of a door is prevented while the usability of the door is improved. A power back door control device includes: an operation signal acceptor configured to accept an operation signal of a back door opening/closing switch for performing an operation of opening or closing a back door of a vehicle; a controller configured to control opening/closing of the back door via a motor when the operation signal acceptor accepts the operation signal; and a stopping state detector configured to detect whether or not the vehicle is in a stopping state based on information about traveling or stopping of the vehicle acquired by a vehicle-side ECU. When the stopping state detector detects that the vehicle is not in the stopping state, the controller performs fixing control of the back door so as to keep the back door from moving.

  • Patent number: 9037351
    Abstract: A steering control device has a filter section configured to remove a high frequency component from an output of a torque sensor configured to detect a steering torque of a steering device mounted on a vehicle, a current command section configured to output a current command value based on a travelling speed of the vehicle and an output of the filter section, a drive control section configured to control a drive of a motor configured to aid a steering of the steering device based on the current command value, and a drive prohibiting section configured to output a signal for prohibiting the drive of the motor to the drive control section based on the output of the torque sensor, the current command value, and the travelling speed of the vehicle.
