Abstract
A system and method include a radar sensor disposed in a vehicle for detecting an operator motion or gesture that indicates a desire to perform a function of the vehicle, and a controller in communication with the radar sensor to interpret sensor data and determine if the operator performed a predetermined motion or gesture that indicates the desire to perform the function of the vehicle based on the predetermined motion or gesture.
Claims28
A system comprising:
- a radar sensor disposed in a vehicle for detecting an operator motion or gesture that indicates a desire to perform a function of the vehicle;
- and
- a controller in communication with said radar sensor to interpret sensor data and determine if the operator performed a predetermined motion or gesture that indicates the desire to perform the function of the vehicle based on the predetermined motion or gesture.
A method comprising the steps of:
- detecting, by a radar sensor disposed in a vehicle, an operator motion or gesture that indicates a desire to perform a function of the vehicle;
- determining, by a controller in communication with the radar sensor, if the operator performed a predetermined motion or gesture that indicates the desire to perform the function of the vehicle based on the predetermined motion or gesture.
A vehicle comprising:
- a power actuated movable panel;
- a radar sensor disposed adjacent said power actuated movable panel for detecting an operator motion or gesture that indicates a desire to perform a function of the power actuated movable panel;
- and
- a controller in communication with said sensor to interpret sensor data of the operator from said radar sensor to determine if the operator performed a predetermined motion or gesture that indicates the desire to perform the function of adjusting a position of the power actuated movable panel of the vehicle based on the predetermined motion or gesture.
