Closing System Comprising a Force Sensor

A method for controlling the closing state of a closing system, the closing system comprising at least one door having at least one movable closure element and a closure element receptacle, the closure element projecting into the closure element receptacle in a closed state, a force sensor, and an analysis unit, the closing system being switchable in the closed state into a first operating state and a second operating state, the method comprising:

• a) generating a force-dependent measured signal by the force sensor;
• b) relaying the measured signal to the analysis unit;
• c) comparing the measured signal to at least one measured signal limiting value or measured signal limiting value range;
• and
• d) changing over the closing system from the first operating state into the second operating state if the measured signal exceeds the measured signal limiting value and/or if a measured signal outside the measured signal limiting value range exists,
• wherein the analysis unit triggers a changeover of the closing system into an alarm state after the identification of a characteristic measured signal pattern and/or if an alarm threshold value is exceeded by the measured signal.
