Process for controlling an electrically driven motor vehicle window
View Patent ↗A process for controlling an electrically driven window pane for a motor vehicle which has an operating element for triggering the pane motion. After the operation of the operating element, the window pane is moved by a driving motor until a soft-stop position is reached, the motion of the driving motor being detected for determining the window pane position. A multiple operation of the operating element within a definable time period causes an overshooting of the soft-stop position to the mechanical stop, in which the position of the pane is newly defined.
1. Process for controlling an electrically driven window pane for a motor vehicle having a switch for triggering motion of the window pane, and having a driving motor for moving the window pane, comprising:
detecting the motion of the driving motor or the window pane;
determining if movement of the window pane has stopped at a defined soft-stop position of the window pane before an end stop has been reached;
overshooting the soft-stop position, after the switch has been operated a predetermined plurality of times within a predetermined time period, to move the window pane to a final stop; and
detecting the final stop as a defined position of the window pane.
2. Process according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined plurality of times within the predetermined time period is three times per second.
3. Process according to claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring operation of the switch when said motor has stopped before reaching said end point;
initiating movement of the window pane if a human operates the switch the predetermined plurality of times within the predetermined time period.
4. The process according to claim 3 , further comprising the step of detecting said final stop of said window after said initiating step and assigning said final stop as a defined position of said window.
5. Process according to claim 3 , wherein the predetermined plurality of times within the predetermined time period is three times per second.
6. Process according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined plurality of times within the predetermined time period is three times per second.
7. Process according to claim 1 , wherein the soft-stop position is a defined position.
8. Process according to claim 1 , wherein the switch is operated via a button in a cockpit of the motor vehicle.
