The invention relates to a method for securing a manoeuvre of a motor vehicle, according to which an order for activation of first data is sent to a mobile terminal by a control unit of the motor vehicle, the first data is displayed on the screen of said mobile terminal in an area opposite the antenna area so as to induce the implementation of a continuous movement by a user on the screen of said mobile terminal in said opposite area, second data relating to the implementation of said continuous movement by the user is generated by the mobile terminal, said second data is compared with an expected result, and if the comparison is positive, said manoeuvre is executed by the control unit.

The invention relates to a method for evaluating the distance (d) between an identifier () fitted with a first wireless communication module () and a vehicle () fitted with a second wireless communication module (), including the following steps: establishing a wireless connection (L) between the first wireless communication module () and the second wireless communication module (); estimating said distance (d) on the basis of a propagation time of the electromagnetic signals involved in the wireless connection established (L); when the identifier () comes within the range of a signal (S) transmitted by the vehicle (), evaluating said distance (d) by means of a measurement, by the identifier (), of the strength of said transmitted signal (S). An associated electronic unit and identifier are also described.

A system (SC) is intended to control a maneuver of a vehicle (V) via the establishment of two-way wireless communication between a communication module (MC) of the vehicle (V) and a remote control unit (BC), following the actuation of the latter. This system (SC) includes components designed to determine, over a duration corresponding to a chosen main number (NP) of successive connection events in their respective frequency channels, where the chosen main number (NP) is greater than 2, a first number of failed connection events, and then to compare this first number with a first chosen value and to modify the activated automatic maneuver in a chosen way if the first number is greater than or equal to this first value.

The invention relates to a unit (SYST) for communication by means of a predetermined protocol, said communication unit (SYST) including: a master device (EQ_MAI); and a slave device (EQU_ESC) capable of communicating with a vehicle according to a UHF or BF protocol, and capable of assuming a plurality of states, characterized in that the master device (EQ_MAI) is suitable for sending, to the slave device (EQU_ESC), alerts pertaining to the actuation of a state.

Unit for communication by means of a predetermined protocol

The invention relates to a method of pre-authenticating a user at a vehicle with a view to allowing the user to access the vehicle when a handle provided on a door of said vehicle is actuated, said user being provided with a mobile device, said vehicle and said mobile device each comprising a wireless communication interface operating according to the BLE protocol; each of said interfaces initially being in the 'notification' state in which each of said interfaces transmits for a basic transmission time; said method comprising: &#x2014;steps of connecting said interfaces according to the BLE protocol&#x2014;steps of identifying and authenticating the mobile device, by the vehicle; a step in which the vehicle stores the identity data or the mobile device if the identification and authentication steps have been completed; &#x2014;a subsequent step in which, when the handle of the vehicle door is actuated, the interface of the vehicle shifts from the 'notification' state to the &#x201c;scanning&#x201d; state; &#x2014;a tenth step in which the interface in the &#x201c;scanning&#x201d; state confirms the presence of the interface of the mobile device in the &#x201c;notification&#x201d; state.

Authentication of a user provided with a mobile device by a vehicle

A method for making the remotely operated control of a movement of a motor vehicle secure using a mobile terminal. The method includes the follow steps: triggering the remotely operated control of a movement of the motor vehicle by a user using the mobile terminal, verifying that the user is within sight of the motor vehicle by means of the mobile terminal, if the verification is positive and shows that the user is in sight of the motor vehicle, said remotely operated control of a movement of the motor vehicle is performed, and if not said control is inhibited.
