  • Publication number: 20220336166
    Abstract: A switch device includes: an operation unit including a first switch, a second switch, a first resistor, a second resistor, and a first terminal; and a control unit including a second terminal coupled to the first terminal. A series circuit of the first switch and the first resistor and a series circuit of the second switch and the second resistor are coupled between the first terminal and a ground. The control unit monitors a potential of the first terminal which changes in response to on/off of the first and second switches via the second terminal, and determines the operation state of each switch based on the potential. A contact of the first switch is configured of a contact in which a resistance value between contacts at the time of opening and closing changes more sharply as compared with a contact of the second switch.

  • Publication number: 20220268082
    Abstract: A power window device includes a control unit configured to monitor a first potential at one end of a first circuit including first and second switches turned on by manual opening and closing operations for a window, respectively, and a second potential at one end of a second circuit including a third switch turned on by an automatic opening or closing operation. The control unit is configured to output a manual window opening signal to a motor drive unit when the first potential is a potential at a time of the first switch being turned on; output a manual window closing signal when the first potential is a potential at a time of the second switch being turned on; and output an automatic window opening or closing signal when the second potential is a potential at a time of the third switch being turned on.

  • Publication number: 20220251895
    Abstract: A power window device includes a control unit configured to: monitor independently a first potential at one ends of a first switch circuit including a window closing switch and a second switch circuit including a window opening switch and a second potential at one end of a submersion detection sensor, and determine that submersion has occurred when the second potential is in a submersion potential range. During a normal time, the control unit outputs a window closing command signal when the first potential is a potential at a time of the window closing switch being operated, and outputs a window opening command signal when the first potential is a potential at a time of the window opening switch being operated. At a time of submersion, the control unit does not output the window closing command signal, and outputs the window opening command signal.

  • Patent number: 9940763
    Abstract: An on-vehicle apparatus control system includes: an on-vehicle control device; and a portable machine. The on-vehicle apparatus control system includes: a mode switching unit that selects a permission mode or a prohibition mode; and an illegality recording portion that records transmission or reception of a response request signal as illegality history in a case where the response request signal is transmitted from the on-vehicle control device or is received by the portable machine during the prohibition mode. If the response request signal is received by the portable machine during the permission mode, the portable machine transmits the response signal. If the response request signal is received by the portable machine during the prohibition mode, the portable machine transmits an illegality notification signal instead of the response signal, and the on-vehicle control device does not control an on-vehicle apparatus if the illegality notification signal is received.

  • Patent number: 8078366
    Abstract: A seat control device has an input unit for performing at least one of an operation to incline and move a first seat, and a drive control unit for at least one of inclining and moving the first seat based on an output of the input unit. The seat control device has an open/close detection unit for detecting an opened or closed state of a door for getting on and off to and from the first seat, an angle detection unit for detecting an angle of a backrest of the first seat; and a seating detection unit for detecting presence/absence of seating at a second seat positioned behind the first seat. When the open/close detection unit detects that the door is in the opened state, the angle detection unit detects an angle of a backrest of the first seat. When the detected angle is larger than a predetermined angle, the seating detection unit detects the presence or absence of seating at the second seat.
