  • Patent number: 10831187
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for securing a manoeuvre of a motor vehicle, according to which an order for activation of first data is sent to a mobile terminal by a control unit of the motor vehicle, the first data is displayed on the screen of said mobile terminal in an area opposite the antenna area so as to induce the implementation of a continuous movement by a user on the screen of said mobile terminal in said opposite area, second data relating to the implementation of said continuous movement by the user is generated by the mobile terminal, said second data is compared with an expected result, and if the comparison is positive, said manoeuvre is executed by the control unit.
