Application: Method and device for using a valet parking service (Patent ID: US20240198961A1)
The patent filed by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG describes a navigation device for a motor vehicle that can determine the availability of a valet parking service at the destination of the vehicle's route. In response to this determination, the device is capable of sending a digital key for the vehicle's access system to the valet parking service, particularly to a mobile electronic device used by the service. The device can also interact with a user interface to obtain input on transferring the digital key and can set restrictions on the key's usage, revoke or cancel the key if needed, and derive the key from a master key of the access system.
Furthermore, the navigation device is designed to communicate with a computing unit to verify the availability of the valet parking service, ascertain restrictions on the digital key based on user input, and determine the route to the destination using a digital map of the road network. The digital key can be compliant with the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) key standard and enable the valet parking service's electronic device to control various vehicle functions. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system that streamlines the process of using valet parking services by automating the transfer of digital keys and ensuring secure and convenient access to the vehicle.
