  • Publication number: 20220106818
    Abstract: A vehicle door handle having a grip for sensor-controlled triggering of a vehicle function, the grip being coupled to a handle housing which can be mounted on a vehicle. A coupling device and a motor are provided. The grip can be moved between a rest position and an extended actuation position by being driven by the motor via the coupling device. The grip has sensor components which sense an actuation force or communication device which sense a mobile communications device brought closer to the grip. The sensor components or the communication device are coupled to an interface via which actuation signals can be output. In both the actuation position and the rest position, the grip is coupled to the handle housing in a positionally fixed and travel-free manner over its entire extension and locked against deflection relative to the handle housing.

  • Patent number: 11263558
    Abstract: A method for monitoring access to an electronically controllable device includes establishing communication between a mobile device and a control platform via a communication network. A booking, including first and second data, is created for a controllable device in the platform. The first data is access information and the second data is encrypted with an individual key which is assigned to an access control unit in the controllable device. The mobile device is wirelessly connected to the access unit and the second data, as well as a subset of the first data, is transmitted to the access unit which decrypts the second data and checks its signature. If the check is successful, a configuration of the access unit is adapted as a function of the decrypted data. Authorization for access to the controllable device by the mobile device is checked as a function of the decrypted data.

  • Patent number: 11066857
    Abstract: A motor vehicle actuation device includes a functional element supported on a carrier housing for rotation about a rotational axis and movement between a standby position and an operating position, a drive device disposed on the carrier housing, and a control element in a drive connection with the drive device, which is designed to move the functional element from the standby position into the operating position when the drive device is activated. The control element is moved from a home position into a final actuation position via an initial actuation position when the drive device is activated. The control element forces the functional element from the standby position into the operating position when it moves from the home position into the initial actuation position. The control element retains the functional element in the operating position when it moves from the initial actuation position into the final actuation position.
