Abstract
Automatic vehicle window control systems and methods are provided herein. An example method includes determining a first operating height of a first window of a vehicle, determining a second operating height of a second window of the vehicle, comparing the first operating height with the second operating height, and selectively adjusting the first operating height or the second operating height to be substantially equal to one another when the first operating height and the second operating height are not substantially equal.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining a first operating height of a first window of a vehicle;
- determining a second operating height of a second window of the vehicle;
- comparing the first operating height with the second operating height;
- and
- selectively adjusting the first operating height or the second operating height such that the first operating height and the second operating height are substantially equal to one another.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory for storing instruction, the processor executing the instructions to:
- determine that a first window is partially rolled down;
- and
- cause a second window to be partially rolled down such that a second operating height of the second window is substantially equal to a first operating height of the first window.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- applying voltage to control operation of a first window and a second window based on input to an actuator;
- compensating for a voltage drop between the first window and the second window that would cause the first window to be translated more than the second window;
- determining the voltage drop;
- and
- applying a voltage to the second window for a longer period of time than which was applied to the first window, based on the voltage drop.
