Abstract
A method for detecting actuation of a handle of a motor-vehicle opening panel-vehicle, including the steps of continuously generating the request to unlock signal, detecting an increase in the value of the request to unlock signal beyond a first predetermined detection threshold representative of the presence of a hand of a user on the handle, detecting a decrease in the value of the request to unlock signal below a second predetermined detection threshold representative of the user pulling on the handle, consecutively to the detection of the decrease in the value of the request to unlock signal below the second detection threshold, triggering a time counter, stopping the time counter at the end of a predetermined 'confirmation time', and validating the detection of a request to unlock the opening panel if the value of the request to unlock signal remained greater than a third predetermined threshold throughout the confirmation time.
