  • Apparatuses and methods for vehicle locking systems
    Patent number: 12024123
    Abstract: In a method for activating a vehicle locking system, an optically detectable machine-readable code is detected. At least one message that identifies the vehicle locking system and that includes or represents the code is transmitted. At least one message that identifies the vehicle locking system and that includes or represents the code is received. A digital key for the vehicle locking system is determined, in particular from a database that is assigned to the vehicle locking system by the at least one message. The digital key is transmitted to a transfer device that is identified by the code and that is arranged in a housing of the apparatus for activating the vehicle locking system. The digital key is stored in the memory, and the digital key is transmitted in response to a request by the vehicle locking system.
