Device for operating electrical or electromechanical entry or access systems on or in a vehicle
First Claim
1. Arrangement for actuating electrical or electromechanical devices (10) on or in a vehicle,with at least one sensor (40), which responds to approach or contact;
- with a memory for nominal data and with a controller, which compares the incoming actual data with the nominal data and, if the comparison is successful, releases the actuation (23) of the device (10),whereinduring a setup phase of the arrangement, at least one data set (G1, B1, B2) of the signals (G1.1-G1.16, B1.1-B1.16, B2.1-B2.16) obtained over the course of time during the response of the sensor (40)is recorded at a minimum of several defined times (t1-t16) and stored in memory,namely, a set (G1) of good data (G1.1-G1.16) typical of actuation and/or a set (B1;
B2) of bad data (B1.1-B1.16;
B2.1-B2.16) typical of errors;
in thatduring the later duty phase of the arrangement, a responding sensor (40) records an actual data set of analogous signals over the course of time at the same defined times (t1-t16) as those used during the setup phase;
in thatthis actual data set is compared by the controller with at least one of the stored data sets (G1, B1, B2); and
in thatthe controller releases (44) the actuation of the device only if the actual data set agrees with the good data set (G1) and/or is not the content of a bad data set (B1;
B2).

Abstract
The invention relates to a device for operating electrical or electromechanical devices (10) in a vehicle, whereby a sensor (40) is used, operating on proximity or contact. According to the invention, the device can distinguish whether operation of the sensor (40) is actually carried out by a human hand, or by erroneous objects, whereby, in an initial adjustment phase, the device records at least one set of data for each signal and stores the same in a memory, which occur at at least some defined timepoints during the signal time course of the corresponding sensor (40). A set of operationally-typical valid data and/or a set of error-typical invalid data is thus obtained. During the subsequent operational phase for the device, an actual data set of analogue signals for the corresponding sensor (40) is recorded during the time course at the same defined timepoints as for the adjustment phase. Said actual data set is compared by a controller with at least one of the stored data sets. Operation of the device (10) is thus only permitted by the controller (44), when the actual data set matches the valid data set and/or is not contained within the invalid data set.
