  • Publication number: 20150314756
    Abstract: A system for controlling access to a motor vehicle includes a vehicle-side control device which is coupled to a transmitter receiver device for wireless communication with a wireless ID provider. Upon actuation, a vehicle-side activation device transmits an activation signal to the ID provider. In the vehicle, an NFC (near field communication) device is provided in the region of the outer shell of the vehicle and is coupled to the activation device to actuate the activation device for transmitting the wake up signal, dependent upon an NFC data exchange between a vehicle-side NFC device and an external NFC communication device. Also disclosed is a related method for controlling access to a motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20130194068
    Abstract: To provide motor vehicle access, a connection is set up between an ID signal generator assigned to the vehicle and a wireless communication device. A first identification code, stored in the ID signal generator, is transmitted to the communication device. A connection is set up between the communication device and a service provider via a public communication network. The identification code is sent together with a second identification code which identifies the wireless communication device. A multi-part authorization message is generated by the service provider. Parts of the authorization message are sent to the communication device and parts transmitted to a control device in the vehicle. Access authorization of the communication device is checked on the basis of the part of the authorization message from the vehicle and the part from the communication device, via a connection between the communication device and the control device of the vehicle.
