摘要:
Wrongful authentication process is prevented. A passive entry authenticating section compares an identification signal sent from a portable unit with an identification signal previously stored in a storage section. A biometrics authenticating section compares the biometrics information of a user inputted through a sensor section with the biometrics information registered in a biometrics database. A control section authenticates an authorized user when there is agreement in both the identification-signal comparison result and the biometrics-information comparison result, and controls a lock system to unlock the door lock of the automobile.
摘要:
A capacitance sensor with a directionality characteristic in the direction of its detection surface is incorporated in a detector for detecting an object that may be feared to or about to be caught by a closing door such as a slide door of a vehicle. The capacitance sensor has a main body enclosing detection electrodes, an insulating material placed in between and a shield electrode serving to provide the directionality. A water-repellant finish is provided at least on a portion of the outer surface of the main body including the detection surface for preventing water drops from remaining or becoming larger. The detection surface may be unevenly shaped with protrusions for making it difficult for water drops to remain attached.
