Abstract

A system for controlling a vehicle opening / closing element according to the present invention comprises an irradiation unit for irradiating near-infrared light to the periphery of an opening / closing element, an image capture unit for capturing an image formed by the irradiated near-infrared light, a hand region extraction unit for extracting a user hand region on the basis of the luminance of the image captured by the image capture unit, an action detection unit for detecting movement of the user's hand from the extracted hand region, and a controller for determining whether the detected action matches a predetermined action that is set in advance and issuing an instruction to operate the opening / closing element on the basis of the determined action.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for controlling an opening / closing element of a vehicle so that the opening / closing element of a vehicle can be controlled according to the user's will without the user having to come into contact with said element. Background technique [0002] Recent vehicle opening / closing elements (specifically, door opening / closing control systems) have generally adopted a method in which a user establishes wireless communication between a vehicle and a portable electronic key by using a portable electronic key. Regarding the timing at which the wireless communication between the vehicle and the portable electronic key occurs, in one method, the wireless communication is triggered by a user's action for pressing a lock / unlock button of the portable electronic key. In another method, wireless communication is automatically started when the portable electronic key enters within a predetermined communication range from the ve...
