Problems solved by technology

For example, additional authentication protocols need to be provided to increase security and limit unintended access to the vehicle's passenger and / or storage compartments
Another need to be addressed involves limiting power usage associated with "false activation" of the keypad caused by inadvertent input to the keypad
For example, such inadvertent inputs may be caused by capacitive sensors associated with the keypad and contact with raindrops, flying debris, or jets of car wash spray

Abstract

A touch and gesture pad for a swipe / tap entry verification system and a method of operating the touch and gesture pad are disclosed. The touch and gesture pad includes a housing that defines a compartment. The touch and gesture pad includes a wiring connector for attachment to a wiring harness to provide power and communication with a processing unit. A PCB is disposed in the compartment. A plurality of IR TOF sensors are disposed on and electrically connected to the PCB for sensing gestures and touches to the touch and gesture assembly. The plurality of IR TOF sensors each includes a transmitter for transmitting an infrared beam and a receiver for receiving the infrared beam after reflection from an object near one of the plurality of IR TOF sensors and for outputting an IR TOF signal to the processing unit indicating touches or gestures.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 340,097, filed May 23, 2016. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to an entry system for a motor vehicle and, more particularly, to a touch and gesture pad for a swipe / tap entry verification system and a method of operating the touch and gesture pad. Background technique [0004] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0005] Many passenger cars and trucks are now equipped with keyless entry systems alone or in combination with traditional mechanical (ie keyed) entry systems. In many cases, keyless entry systems include a portable device such as a key fob that has buttons that can be manipulated to unlock / lock the doors and perform other functions (i...
