  • Publication number: 20210087869
    Abstract: A method and a device are provided for non-mechanical activation of a closure arrangement, in particular of a vehicle door, by way of a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is registered and corresponding registration information is generated, on the basis of which an activation signal is transmitted to the registered terminal. The terminal changes from a first operating state into a second operating state on the basis of the activation signal, wherein in the second operating state a user input is registered by way of the terminal, and corresponding input data are generated. An activation signal which is output by the terminal operated in the second operating state, on the basis of the input data, is received, and the closure arrangement is activated in a power-driven fashion on the basis of the activation signal.
