Patent number: 11538299Abstract: A method for a secure Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS) authentication protocol measures the walking gait of a user approaching a related vehicle using a passive key device carried by the user. The method also includes measuring the user's gait from the perspective of the vehicle using a vehicle perception system to compare the two and validate the security of an unlock request, authenticate the unlocking session, and protect against relay attacks. The two-factor authentication protocol validates the physical presence and temporal state of the key fob or mobile phone relative to the vehicle using detected key gait measurement (key G-gait) and a vehicle perception-based gait (C-gait) measurement by comparing the independent gaits and generating control commands responsive to consistent and inconsistent measurements.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Lawrence Chikeziri Amadi, Ali Hassani, Walter Joseph Talamonti, John Robert Van Wiemeersch

Patent number: 11267440Abstract: Example user identification systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method determines a first step pulse associated with a user carrying a key fob and detects a user device proximate the key fob. The method further identifies a second step pulse measured by the user device and determines whether the first and second step pulses match. If the step pulses match, the user carrying the key fob is identified as the owner of the user device.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Zachary David Nelson, Shane Elwart, Bibhrajit Halder, Jonathan Thomas Mullen, Scott Vincent Myers, Tory Smith, Walter Joseph Talamonti
