Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control apparatus of a vehicle, a system including the same, and a method thereof. The vehicle control apparatus may include a motor that moves a sunroof to an open position or a closed position, a plurality of sensors that detect rotation of the motor, memory that stores sensor values received from the plurality of sensors, and a processor that controls the rotation of the motor based on the sensor values. The processor may adjust the position of the sunroof by reverting a positional change of the sunroof that was, for example, not detected while the vehicle control apparatus was in a sleep mode.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A vehicle control apparatus of a vehicle, the vehicle control apparatus comprising:

a motor configured to move a sunroof of the vehicle to one of an open position and a closed position;
a plurality of sensors configured to detect rotation of the motor;
memory configured to store sensor values that are associated with rotation of the motor and are received from the plurality of sensors;
and
a processor configured to:
store, in the memory, first sensor values, wherein the first sensor values are received from the plurality of sensors while the vehicle control apparatus is in a wakeup mode and before a first time at which the vehicle control apparatus switches from the wakeup mode to a sleep mode;
based on the vehicle control apparatus switching from the sleep mode to the wakeup mode at a second time after the first time, compare the first sensor values, stored in the memory, with second sensor values, wherein the second sensor values are received from the plurality of sensors after the second time and while the vehicle control apparatus is in the wakeup mode;
determine, based on the comparison indicating that the first sensor values are different from the second sensor values, an adjustment value;
and
adjust a position of the sunroof by controlling, based on the adjustment value, rotation of the motor.

A method performed by an apparatus of a vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving, from a plurality of sensors while the apparatus is in a wakeup mode and before a first time at which the apparatus switches from the wakeup mode to a sleep mode, first sensor values;
based on determining that the apparatus has switched from the sleep mode to the wakeup mode at a second time after the first time, comparing the first sensor values with second sensor values, wherein the second sensor values are received from the plurality of sensors after the second time and while the apparatus is in the wakeup mode;
determining, based on the comparison indicating that the first sensor values are different from the second sensor values, an adjustment value;
and
adjusting a position of a sunroof of the vehicle by controlling, based on the adjustment value, rotation of a motor associated with the sunroof.
