The invention in certain embodiments relates to a control circuit for an electric-motor-operated window lifter () of a motor vehicle (), the control circuit having a first switch () for opening a vehicle window (), a second switch () for closing the vehicle window (), and a control device (), which, when one of the switches () is activated, actuates the window lifter () to move the vehicle window () in the opening direction or closing direction. The control device () monitors the lighting current (I) which flows across a lighting element () for the switches (), and generates a control signal (I), if appropriate, for opening the vehicle window () if the lighting current (I) exceeds an overcurrent threshold value (I) thereby detecting inundation of the vehicle.

Control circuit for a window lifter drive

A method for monitoring the adjustment movement of a component, in particular a window pane or a sunroof in motor vehicles, which is driven by a drive device and can be adjusted in a translatory or rotary fashion. A plurality of input signals which can be derived from the drive device and which represent a deceleration of the adjustment movement of the drive device are input at input neurons of an input layer of a neural network with at least one hidden layer having hidden neurons. Said network outputting, at at least one output neuron of an output layer, an output value which corresponds to the adjusting force or to a trapped state or nontrapped state.
