Application: Wearable virtual keys for vehicle access (Patent ID: US20240208462A1)
The patent filed by Ford Motor Co. describes a method for managing vehicle access that involves obtaining a request to access a vehicle from a user device, determining if the device is registered, and sending an authentication request to another registered device if the first one is unregistered. The method then involves receiving an authentication response and outputting a control signal to a vehicle unit based on the response. The system allows for different levels of access based on the authentication responses received.
The patent also includes claims related to specific aspects of the method, such as using identifiers in authentication requests, unlocking vehicle doors based on accepted access levels, activating vehicle cameras for user verification, and enabling access to the vehicle ignition. The claims further detail scenarios where access is rejected, leading to the activation of the vehicle alarm system. Additionally, the patent describes a vehicle equipped with the technology outlined in the method, including a transceiver, processor, and memory for executing the instructions related to managing vehicle access. The patent also covers a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions for implementing the method.
