  • Patent number: 7667571
    Abstract: A locking system for providing authorization to access and drive a motor vehicle has a first control device for unlocking and locking the car doors, the ignition lock, the steering wheel lock, etc. Additionally, the locking system has a second device, which is an electronic key or an identifier. The two devices have transmission means and/or receiving means for electromagnetic signals with frequencies ? lying in a frequency band between two cut-off frequencies ?a, ?b. At least one of the signals, transmitted between the devices, is a coded operating signal for authenticating the second device. The actual frequency ?i with which the transmission means of the second device is operated is stored in a storage means of the first device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 17, 2005
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2010
    Assignee: Marquardt GmbH
    Inventors: Karl Mueller, Johannes Mattes, Uwe Hipp, Dietmar Weisser, Michael Geber, Markus Ruther, Andreas Pohlmann, Matthias Reinhardt

  • Patent number: 6963794
    Abstract: A system for automatic access or driving authorization for a motor vehicle includes a first device in the form of a control device having at least two states for engaging and disengaging vehicle door locks, an immobilizer, or the like. An associated second device is provided in the form of an electronic key, an ID transmitter, a chip card or the like. Both devices have means for transmitting or receiving signals, including a coded operating signal for authenticating the second device, so that a change in the state of the first device can be implemented when the second device is authorized. Before the second device is first activated, it is in a sleep state in which operation-independent function is not permitted and energy consumption is reduced. During a first operator-dependent authentication, the second device is changed over from the sleep state into a standby state in which an operation-independent function is at least partially made possible.
