A camera is directed to the test object and captures the test object and an adjacent surrounding space as a spatial measurement region. A mobile, remotely controllable measuring device with markings that can be detected by the camera is arranged in the spatial measurement region. The measuring device is coupled to a measuring device communication unit, which is designed to communicate wirelessly with the test object communication unit. The image data from the camera is read to determine the position of the remotely controllable measuring device, and a quality value of the wireless communication connection between the measuring device communication unit and the test object communication unit is acquired and stored.

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for evaluating a sensor device, said sensor device comprising at least one proximity sensor. The sensor values (S1, S2) measured by the proximity sensor are monitored (in block 10), and when the beginning of an actuation is ascertained, a timer (t1) is started (in block 30). When the first timer has reached a first target value (tz1) and the measured sensor values (S1, S2) consistently meet a first criterion since the first timer was started, a first operation signal is output (in block 30). When the additional measured sensor values meet a second criterion (in block 20) configured to recognize a valid execution of an operation gesture, a valid operation is ascertained and a second operation signal is output (in block 20) provided that a first operation signal has already been output. If no first operation signal has been output, the first operation signal is output first, followed by the second operation signal.

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for evaluating a sensor device, said sensor device comprising at least one proximity sensor (S2, S3). If the measured sensor values characterize a beginning of an actuation of the sensor device, a first timer (t1) is started. When the first timer has reached a first target value (tz1) and the measured sensor values consistently meet a first criterion since the first timer was started, a first operation signal is output. When the measured sensor values meet a second criterion during the further acquisition of the measured sensor values, a second operation signal is output at the signal output. If the measured sensor values do not meet the second criterion, an erroneous-actuation signal is output at the signal output.

The invention relates to a device for an emergency unlocking process of a door lock (60) on a motor vehicle, comprising an actuation means (13) for coupling to a door lock (60). A blocking means (31) is coupled to an actuator (10; 34) and can be moved from a blocking position into a release position, wherein the blocking means blocks the movement of the actuation means (13) in the blocking position and thus blocks and unlocking of the door lock. A wireless data interface (14) is coupled to an electronic controller (15) and the actuator. Legitimation data as well as energy for operating the actuator (10; 34) and the controller (15) are received from a mobile device (16) coupled to the data interface. On the basis of the received legitimation data, the actuator is actuated in order to convert the blocking means from the blocking position into the release position. A mechanical access device (12) is operatively connected to the actuation means (13) in order to move the unblocked actuation means in order to unlock the door lock (60).

Abstract

A door handle assembly for a vehicle door includes a handle which is to be actuated by an operator, a lever element which supports the handle on a handle housing, and a motor-driven actuating element. The handle is designed to be movable out of an actuation position into a servo-opening position by being actuated by an operator. A detection means is formed on the handle housing in order to detect a movement of the handle out of the actuation position into the servo-opening position so as to produce a movement of the motor-driven actuating element out of the handle extended position into a door opening position. Upon being moved out of the handle extended position into the door opening position, the motor-driven actuating element moves a vehicle door opening lever out of a ready position into an unlocked position, in which the vehicle door can be opened.

The invention relates to a fuel filler flap system (2) of a motor vehicle (1), comprising a support (4), a pivotably mounted fuel filler flap (3) which is designed to be movable between a closed position and an open position, and a movement mechanism (6) which is designed for moving the fuel filler flap (3) out of the closed position into the open position and which has a motorised drive element (7) and a mechanical deployment element (8). The mechanical deployment element (8) is designed to exert a deployment force (14) on the fuel filler flap (3), which force acts in the direction of the open position. The motorised drive element (7) is designed, in the event of a movement of the fuel filler flap (3) out of the closed position into the open position, to exert a guide force (15) directed oppositely to the deployment force (14), and, in the event of a movement of the fuel filler flap (3) out of the open position into the closed position, to exert on the fuel filler flap (3) a return force (16) overcoming the deployment force (14). The motorised drive element (7) is arranged at a predetermined distance (17) from the support (4) and/or from the fuel filler flap (3) and is moveably connected to the fuel filler flap (3) by means of a traction device (18).
