  • Patent number: 11814060
    Abstract: The method for controlling an operating state of a vehicle is such that the operating state, initially adopting a locked state which immobilizes the vehicle, can be modified in order to adopt any of the following unlocking states: a total unlocking state which allows activation of an operating mode of the vehicle, which is associated with the total unlocking state, without any restrictions; and partial unlocking states which each allow the activation of an operating mode associated with the partial unlocking state and which allow restricted activation of the vehicle. This control method comprises a step (E102) of activating one of the operating modes after modifying the operating state (E101) to authorize this activation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11780407
    Abstract: The method for controlling a vehicle comprises a step (E100) of implementing a first operating mode of the vehicle, for which the vehicle operates at least partially, the first operating mode being associated with an operating state of the vehicle allowing said implementation of the first operating mode. This control method comprises: a step (E101) of periodically monitoring the completion of an event during the step (E100) of implementing the first operating mode for detecting the event; a step (E102) of modifying the operating state, triggered by the detection of the event, for authorizing the activation of a second operating mode of the vehicle associated with the modified operating state; a step (E103) of activating the second operating mode of the vehicle authorized by the modified operating state.
