Opening and closing body control method and apparatus for a vehicle
First Claim
1. An opening and closing body control apparatus comprising:
- a first signal receiving unit configured to receive a first detection signal indicating the presence or absence of contact of a user with an operating portion of an opening and closing body;
a second signal receiving unit configured to receive a second detection signal indicating a movement speed of the opening and closing body; and
a signal output unit configured to output a control signal for regulating a holding force of the opening and closing body to a holding force regulating device,wherein the control signal for regulating the holding force of the opening and closing body to a first holding force less than a second holding force is output to the holding force regulating device according to the first detection signal indicating that the contact of the user with the operating portion has been detected, andwhen the second detection signal indicating that the movement speed of the opening and closing body is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed is received when the holding force of the opening and closing body is the first holding force, the control signal for regulating the holding force of the opening and closing body to the first holding force is output to the holding force regulating device regardless of the first detection signal.

Abstract
An opening and closing body control apparatus includes: a first signal receiving unit receiving a first detection signal indicating the presence or absence of contact of a user with an operating portion of an opening and closing body; a second signal receiving unit receiving a second detection signal indicating a movement speed of the body; and a signal output unit outputting a control signal regulating a holding force of the body to a holding force regulating device, wherein the control signal regulating the holding force to a first holding force less than a second holding force is output to the device according to the first detection signal indicating that the contact has been detected, and when the second detection signal indicating that the movement speed body is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed is received when the holding force is the first holding force, the control signal regulating the holding force to the first holding force is output to the device regardless of the first detection signal.

10. An opening and closing body control apparatus comprising:
-
a contact detection sensor which detects the presence or absence of contact of a user with an operating portion of an opening and closing body; a speed detection sensor which detects a movement speed of the opening and closing body; a holding force regulating device which regulates a holding force of the opening and closing body; and a control unit which controls the holding force regulating device based on detection results by the contact detection sensor and the speed detection sensor, wherein the control unit regulates the holding force of the opening and closing body to a first holding force less than a second holding force according to a first detection signal indicating that the contact of the user with the operating portion has been detected, and maintains the holding force of the opening and closing body at the first holding force regardless of the first detection signal when a second detection signal indicating that the movement speed of the opening and closing body is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed is received when the holding force of the opening and closing body is the first holding force. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. An opening and closing body control method of a vehicle having a contact detection sensor which detects the presence or absence of contact of a user with an operating portion of an opening and closing body, a speed detection sensor which detects a movement speed of the opening and closing body, and a holding force regulating device which regulates a holding force of the opening and closing body, the method comprising:
-
regulating the holding force of the opening and closing body to a first holding force less than a second holding force according to a first detection signal indicating that the contact of the user with the operating portion has been detected; and maintaining the holding force of the opening and closing body at the first holding force regardless of the first detection signal when a second detection signal indicating that the movement speed of the opening and closing body is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed is received when the holding force of the opening and closing body is the first holding force. - View Dependent Claims (13)
