  • Patent number: 10507797
    Abstract: A radio key for an access system of a motor vehicle includes a receiver circuit with at least three LF receiver coils for reception of a low frequency signal. The receiver coils are oriented in different spatial directions. A central control circuit includes a microcontroller coupled to the receiver circuit. The control circuit with the microcontroller can assume an energy-reduced resting state and an active operating state. The receiver circuit is configured to awaken the control circuit from the resting state when a signal is received by the LF receiver coils. The central control circuit is configured to activate each of the LF receiver coils separately and to query a received signal strength. The central control circuit then selects the LF receiver coil with the highest signal strength for a subsequent signal reception.

  • Patent number: 9147148
    Abstract: An ID transmitter for a motor vehicle access system includes a printed circuit board which is enclosed by a plastic housing. An antenna subassembly arranged next to the printed circuit board is connected thereto and includes a carrier film carrying conductor tracks. The components include a power supply cell, an LF 3D coil assembly, and HF transceiver components, an NFC module and at least one controller component. The conductor tracks of the carrier film form an NFC antenna coil which is coupled to the NFC modules via the conductors of the printed circuit board. The carrier film is arranged substantially in a plane parallel to the printed circuit board and protrudes over the edge of the printed circuit board on all sides. The conductor tracks forming the NFC antenna coil are arranged primarily in the edge region of the carrier film protruding over the edge of the printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 9045110
    Abstract: A portable identification transmitter for a passive access system of a motor vehicle includes an electrical buffer store which is coupled to an LF circuit assembly in order to charge the electrical buffer store via an energy draw from electromagnetic fields coupled in via LF antennas. Also included is an electronic switching device which can decouple a battery from a microcontroller of the passive access system. The microcontroller and the LF circuit assembly are coupled to the buffer store so that when the buffer store is charged beyond a specified charging level, the open electronic switching device can be activated to couple the battery to the microcomputer via the microcontroller while energy is supplied to the microcontroller from the buffer store.

  • Publication number: 20100265035
    Abstract: Process to control access authorization for a motor vehicle. Using an activation circuit in the vehicle, a radio signal is sent out, and an ID transmitter which is carried by the user receives the radio signal and verifies it with an evaluation circuit. If verification is successful, the ID transmitter sends out a high frequency release signal which is received by the vehicle. The activation circuit activates an oscillating circuit so that the oscillation rise time of the oscillating circuit is varied in dependency of a randomly generated parameter, wherein the power supply of the oscillating circuit is controlled in dependency of the parameter. An expected system run time is determined using actual system run times, and included into the evaluation in order to prevent extensions of the radio distance.
