Abstract
A method for controlling movements of at least one motor vehicle door of a parked motor vehicle. First, the presence of at least one living being inside the motor vehicle is determined using at least one sensor. Then, an increase in temperature inside the motor vehicle is detected using a further second sensor. A control unit evaluates the above-mentioned sensor signals so that an actuator opens the motor vehicle door. According to the invention, an opening device for the motor vehicle door is used as the actuator.
Claims18
A method for controlling movements of at least one motor vehicle door of a parked motor vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- determining a presence of at least one living being inside the motor vehicle using at least a first sensor;
- detecting an increase in temperature inside the motor vehicle using a second sensor;
- and
- evaluating with a control unit sensor signals from the first sensor and the second sensor and actuating an actuator to open the motor vehicle door based on the evaluating by the control unit;
- wherein the actuator comprises an opening device that opens the motor vehicle door when actuated by the control unit.
A device for controlling movements of at least one motor vehicle door of a parked motor vehicle, the device comprising:
- at least one first sensor for detecting a presence of a living being inside the motor vehicle,
- a second sensor for detecting an increase in temperature inside the motor vehicle,
- a control unit configured to evaluate sensor signals from the first sensor and the second sensor, and
- an actuator, wherein the control unit is configured to actuate the actuator of the motor vehicle door based on the evaluation by the control unit, and
- wherein the actuator comprises an opening device that opens for the motor vehicle door when actuated by the control unit.
