A system for providing dynamic access to a vehicle via a plurality of devices. A device and/or a server of an authentication network stored fob data relating to one or more key fobs linked to the vehicle, and device data that includes data relating to one or more devices linked to the key fob that are authorized to access the vehicle. The vehicle receives an access request indicating that a new device is requesting access to the vehicle, whereupon a challenge may be transmitted to one or more of the authorized devices. The one or more devices may respond, granting access to vehicle functions. The vehicle and/or authentication network generate a secure fob key and access limitations based on the response and transmit the secure fob key to the new device. Profile templates may be used to set and control vehicle access and functions.

Apparatus, system and method for vehicle access and function control utilizing a portable device

An optical system which is designed to detect a gesture, and a processing unit that is coupled to the optical system and is designed to analyze the detected gesture, are included in a gesture evaluation system. The gesture evaluation system furthermore has a utilization unit that is designed to save an evaluation that has been detected from the gesture together with evaluated information.

Using a gesture to evaluate displayed information and initiate an operation of a vehicle system

A system for providing dynamic access to a vehicle via a plurality of devices. A device and/or a server of an authentication network stored fob data relating to one or more key fobs linked to the vehicle, and device data that includes data relating to one or more devices that are authorized to access the vehicle. The vehicle receives an access request indicating that a new device is requesting access to the vehicle, whereupon a challenge may be transmitted to one or more of the authorized devices. The one or more devices may respond, granting access to vehicle functions. The vehicle and/or authentication network generate a secure fob key and access limitations based on the response and transmit the secure fob key to the new device. The new device may be authenticated to access vehicle functions subject to the limitation based at least in part on the fob key.

Apparatus, system and method for dynamic identification and key management for vehicle access

A system for providing dynamic access to a vehicle via a plurality of devices. A device and/or a server of an authentication network stored fob data relating to one or more key fobs linked to the vehicle, and device data that includes data relating to one or more devices that are authorized to access the vehicle. The vehicle receives an access request indicating that a new device is requesting access to the vehicle, whereupon a challenge may be transmitted to one or more of the authorized devices. The one or more devices may respond, granting access to vehicle functions. The vehicle and/or authentication network generate a secure fob key based on the response and transmit the secure fob key to the new device. The new device may be authenticated to access vehicle functions based at least in part on the fob key.

Apparatus, system and method for dynamic identification for vehicle access

A method for operating a motor vehicle control panel having a camera system and a gesture recognition device. includes filming a person gesticulating using at least one arm in the inside of the vehicle. Description data relating to a position and/or a sequence of movements of the at least one gesticulating arm is determined by the gesture recognition device and is associated with a control gesture. At least one situation parameter, which describes a gesticulation context of the person, is determined by a plausibility device which decides whether the person has performed a possible control gesture or only a gesture which is to be ignored. If it is determined that it is a possible control gesture, a control command is generated for the control gesture.

Motor vehicle control interface with gesture recognition

A method synchronizes two display devices in a motor vehicle. The first display device already displays a first data set which comprises a first display content relating to a predetermined thematic context. A sensor device, in particular a PMD camera, detects as a control gesture of a user, a free movement in the chamber of a body part of the user. A signal which is then generated by the sensor device and which describes the control gesture, is transmitted to a gesture recognition device which generates a control signal in accordance with the determined control gesture. In accordance with the control signal, a control device determines the predetermined thematic context of the determined data set. Using the defined predetermined thematic context, an additional data set which includes a second display content of the predetermined thematic context is provided. This additional data set is displayed on the second display device.

Method for synchronizing display devices in a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle has a control device that is designed to change over an operating state of an extravehicular computer system for office applications between an active state, in which the computer system executes at least one piece of office application software, and a passive state, in which the computer system is deactivated.
