Abstract: A method and system for a vehicle for binding a user account with a digital key is disclosed herein. The method includes receiving information about an account binding of a user from an administrative platform for the vehicle, the information about the account binding comprising information on a digital account key. The method also includes receiving access information from a user, the access information comprising information on a digital user key, and verifying that the digital account key and the digital user key match to obtain user grant information. The method further includes obtaining information about one or more personalized settings or services of the user for the vehicle based on the user grant information, and applying the one or more settings to the vehicle or enabling the one or more services for the user in the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating an access system for a vehicle, in particular of an electric motor-powered motor vehicle, provides for an external feeding device of the vehicle to be is unlocked when a predetermined voltage value of an energy accumulator of the vehicle is reached or fallen below. The external feeding device connected to at least one vehicle access part of a control device of the vehicle, and is configured to be connected to an external electrical energy supply device to supplied electrical energy to the vehicle access part of the control device. When the externally-supplied electrical energy is received, the vehicle access part of the control device is configured to allow access to the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle is disclosed herein having a network device for providing Bluetooth encryption data. The network device comprises a controller and one or more interfaces for communication with a user terminal. The controller is configured to receive information for generating Bluetooth encryption data for establishing an encrypted Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and a user terminal based on the received information. The controller is further configured to generate the Bluetooth encryption data, and synchronize the Bluetooth encryption data between the vehicle and the user terminal.

Abstract: A vehicle with a device for a network component for providing Bluetooth control data is disclosed herein. The device includes one or more interfaces for communication with a first user equipment and a second user equipment, and a controller in communication with the one or more interfaces. The controller is configured to obtain information for generating Bluetooth control data for establishing an encrypted Bluetooth connection between the first user equipment and the second user equipment on the basis of the information obtained. The controller is further configured to generate the Bluetooth control data and synchronize the Bluetooth control data between the first user equipment and the second user equipment.

Abstract: A method is provided for generating a prioritization of communications in an environment, wherein the environment includes multiple communication units, and wherein the multiple communication units communicate on different frequencies. The method includes the steps of: detecting multiple communication units in the vicinity; acquiring for each of the detected multiple communication units respectively status information relating to the corresponding communication unit; and generating a prioritization of communications of the detected multiple communication units based on the status information of all of the detected multiple communication units.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are used for a vehicle and for communicating with a personal communications device. The method includes establishing a secured communication link between the vehicle and the personal communications device for a first operation of accessing and/or starting the vehicle. The method further includes reusing the secured communication link for an application of the vehicle additional to the first operation.

Abstract: A system comprises a vehicle and a smart device. The smart device is configured to establish a communicative connection with the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to determine a trigger event in the vehicle comprising an evaluation of sensor data in the vehicle. Upon the trigger event being determined by the vehicle, the vehicle is configured to communicate a trigger data set to the smart device. The smart device is configured, after receiving the trigger data set, to interact with the vehicle according to the trigger data set. The interacting of the smart device with the vehicle can comprise controlling at least one vehicle function of the vehicle.
