Abstract
Provided are a control system of a wiper for a vehicle and a control method of the wiper for the vehicle using the same, which are capable of extending a life-span of the wiper by controlling a parking position of a unidirectional wiper. The control method includes: counting parking times at a first parking position and a second parking position of the wiper; determining whether the parking time at the first parking position of the wiper exceeds the parking time at the second parking position; and designating a parking position of the wiper according to whether the parking time at the first parking position of the wiper exceeds the parking time at the second parking position.

A control method of a wiper for a vehicle, the control method comprising:
- counting a first period of parking time parking times at a first parking position of the wiper and a second period of parking time at a second parking position of the wiper;
- determining whether the first period of parking time at the first parking position of the wiper exceeds the second period of parking time at the second parking position;
- designating a parking position of the wiper to the first parking position or the second parking position according to whether the first period of parking time at the first parking position of the wiper exceeds the second period of parking time at the second parking position;
- wherein the wiper is a unidirectional driving wiper;
- and
- wherein counting the first period of parking time at the first parking position and the second period of parking time at the second parking position of the wiper includes:
- counting the second period of parking time at the second parking position of the wiper until the wiper is operated, and operating the wiper.
A control system of a wiper for a vehicle, the control system comprising:
- a counter unit configured to count a first period of parking time at a first parking position and a second period of parking time at a second parking position of the wiper;
- a wiper motor unit configured to operate the wiper;
- and
- a wiper motor control unit configured to:
- control the operation of the wiper motor unit,
- compare the first period of parking time with the second period of parking time, and
- designate a parking position of the wiper to the first parking position or the second parking position based on a result of comparing the first period of parking time with the second period of parking time;
- wherein the wiper motor unit is a unidirectional rotation motor which rotates only in one direction;
- wherein the counter unit is configured to count the second period of parking time at the second parking position of the wiper until the wiper is operated and the first period of parking time at the first parking position of the wiper after the operation of the wiper is completed.
