A method for door or tailgate operation in a transportation vehicle, wherein the transportation vehicle is equipped with an access control device with which determines whether the operating person is present with an authentication element within a proximity area around the transportation vehicle. The device is equipped with at least one communication module for wireless communication with the authentication element, wherein access authorization information is transmitted from the authentication element to the device, the information being checked in the device, and wherein access is granted to the device following verification of the access authorization. It is determined whether the operating person is located in the immediate vicinity of the door or tailgate to be operated, and whether the operating person performs an operating movement in the immediate vicinity for the door or tailgate operation.

Method for door or tailgate operation in a vehicle, authentication element and vehicle

A method for detecting a user input based on a gesture in which image data of at least two individual images are acquired and recoding times are allocated to the individual images. Each of the acquired individual images is segmented, an individual image object is identified in each of the individual images and a reference point is determined based on the individual image object. A trajectory is determined based on the reference points in the individual images and a gesture is determined based on the trajectory. An output signal is generated and output based on the gesture determined. A device for detecting a user input based on a gesture having an acquisition unit for acquiring image data, a segmentation unit for performing segmentation, a trajectory computing unit for determining the trajectory, an allocation unit for determining a gesture and an output unit.

Method and device for detecting a user input on the basis of a gesture

A method which includes detecting a user input based on a gesture, acquiring image data and performing segmentation based on the acquired image data, and determining an object with an outline. A reference point is determined based on the object, a distance between each of a number of points located on the outline of the object and the reference point is determined and a measured distance profile is generated based on these distances. A gesture is determined based on the measured distance profile and an output signal is generated and output based on the gesture determined. A device for detecting a user input based on a gesture including an acquisition unit, a segmentation unit, a profile computing unit, an allocation unit, and an output unit ().

A system and a method for ascertaining if an ID transponder is located in the interior of a transportation vehicle. This is described as interior and exterior identification of an ID transponder. The system includes one or more of ultra-wideband transmission and receiving devices arranged on the transportation vehicle and an ID transponder having an ultra-wideband transmission and receiving device and an inertial sensor system arranged in the ID transponder by which inertial sensor system self-movements of the ID transponder are recorded, wherein each of the access openings is associated with at least one of the one or more of ultra-wideband transmission and receiving devices arranged on the transportation vehicle.

The invention relates to a method for authenticating a vehicle user. In the method, movement data of a sensor identification circuit are detected by sensors. The detected movement data are supplied to a self-learning system. The self-learning system ascertains a movement profile based on the supplied movement data and assigns this to a vehicle user. Upon approach of the vehicle by a vehicle user, it is checked whether movement data detected at the point in time of the approach corresponds to a movement profile, which is assigned to a vehicle user authorized to use the vehicle. In the event of a match, the vehicle user approaching the vehicle is authorized to use the vehicle.
