The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034271A1) describes a method for operating a vehicle with one or more key devices associated with it. The method involves initiating a vehicle shut-off sequence upon receiving a shut-off request, which includes detecting associated key devices within the vehicle's boundary. If no key devices are detected, the vehicle enters a conditional operation mode to prevent it from becoming non-operational. This mode can involve charging the key devices via a charging port in the vehicle, enabling a vehicle re-starting operation, or driving the vehicle to a predetermined destination associated with the users or key devices.
Furthermore, the method allows for key sharing requests, user identification within the vehicle using sensors, and setting specific time periods for the conditional operation mode. The vehicle is equipped with key detection sensors that enable wireless communication between the key devices and the vehicle. Additionally, the patent application includes a computer-readable medium storing a program to carry out the method and a vehicle with a control system configured to execute the described steps. Overall, the method aims to enhance the security and functionality of vehicle operations by integrating key devices and conditional operation modes based on key detection within the vehicle's boundary.
