Abstract:
A communication system for facilitating control over a function of a vehicle (102) comprises a base station (104) positioned in the vehicle (102) and a mobile communication unit (122). The base station (104) comprises a first transmitter for transmitting a signal to the mobile communication unit (122) and a first receiver for receiving a signal from the mobile communication unit (122). The base station (104) is further configured to cause the mobile communication unit (122) to operate in accordance with a limited-response duty cycle.
Abstract:
A passive entry passive start (PEPS) vehicle security system configured to activate a vehicle function when an activation signal is received. The system includes a nomadic device configured to detect a change of a magnetic field relative to the nomadic device, and emit an activation signal only if the change corresponds to walking by an operator carrying the nomadic device.
Abstract:
A luggage door unlocking device for a vehicle by which a luggage door of vehicle can be unlocked without using an unlocking key is disclosed. The device includes a portable transmitter for generating an unlocking signal, a receiver which is mounted on a vehicle for receiving and discriminating the unlocking signal when the transmitter approaches the receiver and a luggage door unlocking mechanism for operating an unlocking mechanism of the vehicle when the receiver receives the unlocking signal. The transmitter has a walk detector for detecting the periodical vibrations when the person carrying the transmitter is walking which generates a walk detecting signal. Also, a switch turns on or off upon receiving the walk detecting signal from the walk detector. In the luggage door unlocking device, the transmitter having the switch which is turned off upon receiving the walk detecting signal, the transmitter begins to generate the unlocking signal just after the person carrying the transmitter stops walking so that the luggage door is automatically unlocked just after he stops walking.
Abstract:
An intelligent electronic lock for receiving an identification signal and an induction signal includes a housing, a wireless sensor, a current divider, a microcontroller, a driver and at least one blocking element. The wireless sensor, the current divider, the microcontroller and at least one blocking element are disposed in the housing. An induction coil of the wireless sensor senses the induction signal to generate an induction current. The wireless sensor receives the identification signal. The current divider distributes the induction current to the microcontroller and the driver. The microcontroller obtains a target identification information from the identification signal. The microcontroller compares the target identification information with a reference identification information to output a control signal. The driver drives at least one blocking element to move between an unlocking position and a locking position. Based on the aforementioned description, the intelligent electronic lock is able to operate without power.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems are provided for performing and/or limiting features based on a determined motion associated with a portable device. When the portable device is determined to be in motion, a feature control application running on the portable device prevents at least one radio frequency identification (RFID) component of the device from communicating with RFID reading devices. When the portable device is still, or not in motion, the feature control application running on the portable device prevents the at least one RFID component of the device from communicating with RFIDreading devices. Among other things, this feature control of a portable device can prevent theft of data in an access control system, credit payment system, and/or other data transfer system.
