ERROR AVOIDANCE IN THE GESTURE-CONTROLLED OPENING OF A MOTOR VEHICLE DOOR AND TRUNK
First Claim
1. A method for gesture-controlled opening of a first actuating element in a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting via a sensor a vehicle user'"'"'s gesture communicating an open command;
testing a control behavior for operating at least one additional gesture-controlled actuating element of the motor vehicle for plausibility based on at least one predefined criterion; and
refusing, upon detection of the open command, the opening of the first actuating element if the control behavior for operating the additional actuating element is recognized as implausible in a time relationship with the recognition of the open command.

Abstract
For error-proof, gesture-controlled opening of an actuating element in a motor vehicle, provision is made to detect a vehicle user'"'"'s gesture, which conveys an opening command, by means of a sensor, to check a control behavior for activating at least one further gesture-controlled actuating element of the motor vehicle for plausibility in accordance with at least one predetermined criterion and, upon identification of the opening command, to refuse the opening of the actuating element if, in a temporal relationship with the identification of the opening command, the control behavior for activating the further actuating element is identified as being implausible.

7. An actuating device for gesture-controlled opening of a first actuating element of
a motor vehicle, comprising: -
a sensor for detecting a vehicle user'"'"'s gesture indicating an open command; a positioner for opening the actuating element; a controller configured to detect the open command based on a sensor signal transmitted by the sensor and configured to operate the positioner to open the first actuating element upon detection of the open command, wherein the controller is provided with operating information about the control behavior of an additional actuating device used for gesture-controlled opening of an additional actuating element of the motor vehicle, and wherein the controller is configured to refuse to open the first actuating element when the operating information reflects an implausible control behavior for operating the additional actuating device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
