Patent number: 9902368Abstract: A system for providing dynamic access to a vehicle via a plurality of devices. A device and/or a server of an authentication network stored fob data relating to one or more key fobs linked to the vehicle, and device data that includes data relating to one or more devices linked to the key fob that are authorized to access the vehicle. The vehicle receives an access request indicating that a new device is requesting access to the vehicle, whereupon a challenge may be transmitted to one or more of the authorized devices. The one or more devices may respond, granting access to vehicle functions. The vehicle and/or authentication network generate a secure fob key and access limitations based on the response and transmit the secure fob key to the new device. Profile templates may be used to set and control vehicle access and functions.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignees: Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, Audi AGInventors: Heiko Maiwand, Martin Roehder, Payton White, Jaime Camhi

Patent number: 9738158Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle control panel having a camera system and a gesture recognition device. includes filming a person gesticulating using at least one arm in the inside of the vehicle. Description data relating to a position and/or a sequence of movements of the at least one gesticulating arm is determined by the gesture recognition device and is associated with a control gesture. At least one situation parameter, which describes a gesticulation context of the person, is determined by a plausibility device which decides whether the person has performed a possible control gesture or only a gesture which is to be ignored. If it is determined that it is a possible control gesture, a control command is generated for the control gesture.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Michael Schlittenbauer, Martin Roehder, Marcus Kuehne, Lorenz Bohrer

Patent number: 9649938Abstract: A method synchronizes two display devices in a motor vehicle. The first display device already displays a first data set which comprises a first display content relating to a predetermined thematic context. A sensor device, in particular a PMD camera, detects as a control gesture of a user, a free movement in the chamber of a body part of the user. A signal which is then generated by the sensor device and which describes the control gesture, is transmitted to a gesture recognition device which generates a control signal in accordance with the determined control gesture. In accordance with the control signal, a control device determines the predetermined thematic context of the determined data set. Using the defined predetermined thematic context, an additional data set which includes a second display content of the predetermined thematic context is provided. This additional data set is displayed on the second display device.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignees: AUDI AG, VOLKSWAGEN AGInventors: Michael Schlittenbauer, Martin Roehder, Heiko Maiwand, Nathaniel Coser, Lorenz Bohrer, Alexander Sebastian Strauch
