  • Patent number: 11767690
    Abstract: A door handle module for a movable part of a vehicle, in particular for a side door, tailgate, bonnet or luggage compartment hatch, comprising a handle support that can be mounted on the outer skin of the movable part, a handle mounted movably on the handle support and having an operating mechanism that can be hidden at least in part by the outer skin, the operating mechanism being operatively connectable to a latch or a latch drive so that an, in particular mechanical, operation of the latch of the movable part can be performed, and further comprising a sensor unit having at least one sensor element in order to detect a user intention in an operating region of a door handle depression of the movable part so that the lock or the latch drive is electrically actuatable in the operating region in the event that a user intention is identified.

  • Publication number: 20210394712
    Abstract: A vehicle lock includes a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and a pawl for latching the rotary latch when the vehicle lock is in a closed state, a receiver for receiving a reference code, a code transfer interface for obtaining an access code and a control unit which is configured such that the vehicle lock assumes an unlocked state when the obtained access code matches the reference code. The locking mechanism is used in a method for access-controlled loading and/or unloading of a vehicle. A high degree of automation of an access-controlled process for loading and/or unloading a vehicle can thus be achieved substantially with the aid of the vehicle lock.

  • Publication number: 20130080196
    Abstract: A process is provided for computer-aided operation of a mobility service by which a number of vehicles are made available by a mobility provider to registered users for temporary use. A respective user is registered once in a booking system as a provider and/or a buyer of a mobility service feature. A first user registered as a provider reserves the vehicle for a period of time in the booking system. The first user further clears the use of a mobility service feature for a second user connected with the vehicle booking whereby the mobility service feature for the second user is offered for selection. An accounting of costs for the vehicle booking takes place as a function of whether at least one second user was determined as a buyer of the provided mobility service feature.
