Application: Vehicle key system and access key (Patent ID: US20240198962A1)
The patent filed by Subaru Corp. describes a vehicle key system that includes an access key, a portable terminal device, and a vehicle. The access key sends a signal wirelessly, and the portable terminal device can switch between lock and unlock modes. When the vehicle receives the signal, it can unlock the door or start the vehicle. The portable terminal device includes an authenticator for user input authentication and a terminal wireless communicator to send signals to the access key. The access key, in turn, has a key wireless communicator to send and receive signals, triggering the accessible signal when receiving the unlock mode signal.
Additionally, the patent includes claims for the vehicle key system and the access key. The system allows for biometric authentication to switch the portable terminal device from lock to unlock mode. The access key, on the other hand, consists of a key control processor and a key wireless communicator. The key control processor, upon receiving an unlock mode signal from the portable terminal device, instructs the key wireless communicator to send an accessible signal to unlock the vehicle door or start the vehicle. This innovative system enhances security and convenience for vehicle access and operation.
