Abstract
A control system for actuating a motor vehicle component of a motor vehicle including a positioning system made of multiple positioning units of a first type and multiple positioning units of a second type, and configured to generate positioning information relating to an operator located in the surroundings of the motor vehicle. The positioning system has multiple positioning modules, each positioning module is paired with a separate module installation area, and the positioning modules in each paired module installation area.
Claims20
A control system for operating a motor vehicle component of a motor vehicle, the control system comprising:
- a positioning system provided with multiple positioning units of a first type and multiple positioning units of a second type, wherein the positioning system is configured to generate positioning information relating to a user disposed in surroundings of the motor vehicle,
- wherein
- the positioning system includes,
- multiple positioning modules, and
- a separate module installation area allocated to each positioning module, wherein the multiple positioning modules include a positioning unit of the first type and a positioning unit of the second type.
A positioning module for a control system comprising:
- a circuit board;
- at least a part of the first positioning unit arranged on the circuit board;
- and
- at least a part of the second positioning unit arranged on the circuit board, and/or wherein the positioning module further includes,
- a module housing and the at least a part of the first positioning unit and the at least a part of the second positioning unit arranged in the module housing, and/or
- wherein the positioning module further includes a module carrier and the at least a part of the first positioning unit and the at least a part of the second positioning unit arranged on the positioning module, and/or
- wherein the positioning module further includes a unified supply terminal configured for an electrical supply of the first positioning unit and of the second positioning unit.
A control system for use in a vehicle, the control system comprising:
- a number of positioning modules each disposed in a number of module installation areas, each module installation area of the number of module installation areas are spaced apart from one another, and the number of positioning modules are collectively configured to generate positioning information of a user disposed within an acquisition region at least partially surrounding the vehicle, wherein each of the positioning modules include,
- at least a portion of a radar sensor unit configured to generate a distance profile of a distance curve between the user and a radar reference point, and
- at least a portion of a wireless unit configured to establish a point-to-point connection with a mobile unit carried by the user, and generate a distance value based on a distance of the point-to-point connection.
