Abstract

The key has a housing for accommodating an electrical or electronic circuit. Shape of the housing is variably formed by electrical or electronic controlled operation, where change in the housing shape is carried-out through a bulge. Multiple extensible pins are integrated into the housing. A haptic signal is produced in the key as a feedback of a vehicle for locking. A feedback signal of the vehicle is transmitted to a lock signal from the key over a radio link. An independent claim is also included for a method for generating a feedback signal of a vehicle.

Description

Fahrzeuge werden zunehmend mittels elektronischer Schlüssel über eine Funkstrecke ver- und entriegelt. Dabei wird eine Information über die Funkstrecke mittels eines elektromagnetischen Signals, das alle Frequenzen – auch im Infrarotbereich – umfassen kann, vom Fahrzeug zum Schlüssel und umgekehrt übertragen. Meist ist zum Verriegeln oder Entriegeln ein Taster oder Knopf am Schlüssel zu betätigen. Allerdings kann es insbesondere beim Verriegeln des Fahrzeugs geschehen, dass entweder das Signal nicht korrekt übertragen wird und folglich das Fahrzeug nicht verriegelt wird, oder dass versehentlich der Taster oder der Knopf zweimal gedrückt wird und damit das Fahrzeug zwar verriegelt war aber wieder entriegelt wurde. Vehicles are increasingly locked and unlocked via a radio link using electronic keys. In this case, information about the radio link by means of an electromagnetic signal, which may include all frequencies - including in the infrared range - transmitted from the vehicle to the key and vice versa. In most cases, a button or button on the key must be pressed to lock or unlock. However, especially when locking the vehicle, either the signal may not be transmitted correctly and consequently the vehicle may not be locked, or the button or button may be accidentally pressed twice and the vehicle may have been locked but unlocked.

Es sind Verfahren bekannt, die optische oder akustische Signale vorsehen, die angeben, dass das Fahrzeug nicht verriegelt ist. Allerdings kann dies durch Umgebungsgeräusche oder Unaufmerksamkeit unbemerkt bleiben. Methods are known which provide visual or audible signals indicating that the vehicle is not locked. However, this may go unnoticed by ambient noise or inattention.

Die DE 37 40 770 A1 schlägt vor, einen Schlüssel zu verwenden, der aufgrund eines eingebauten Motors mit umlaufender Unwucht durch Vibration ein nicht verriegeltes Fahrzeug anzeigt, wenn er aus einem bestimmten Umkreis des Fahrzeugs verbracht wird. Eine solche haptische Anzeige wird eher wahrgenommen als optische Signale, wenn der Schlüssel in der Hand oder aber auch in der Hosentasche getragen wird. The DE 37 40 770 A1 Proposes to use a key that indicates an unlocked vehicle due to a built-in engine with circumferential unbalance due to vibration when it is spent from a certain perimeter of the vehicle. Such a haptic display is more likely to be perceived than visual signals when the key is carried in the hand or else in the trouser pocket.

Dem gegenüber schlägt die Erfindung einen Schlüssel zum kontaktlosen Ver- und Entriegeln von Fahrzeugen vor, der mit einem Gehäuse für zumindest eine elektrische oder elektronische Schaltung gebildet ist, dessen Form durch elektrisch oder elektronisch gesteuerte Betätigung veränderbar ausgebildet ist. On the other hand, the invention proposes a key for contactless locking and unlocking of vehicles, which is formed with a housing for at least one electrical or electronic circuit, whose shape is formed by electrically or electronically controlled operation changeable.

Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein Verfahren zum Erzeugen einer Rückmeldung eines Fahrzeugs auf ein Verriegelungssignal von einem Schlüssel über eine Funkstrecke, wobei als Rückmeldung für das erfolgreiche Verriegeln ein haptisches Signal im Schlüssel erzeugt wird. The invention also relates to a method for generating a response of a vehicle to a lock signal from a key via a radio link, wherein a haptic signal is generated in the key as a response to the successful locking.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung erfolgt die Veränderung der Gehäuseform des Schlüssels durch ein Ausbauchen. Dies kann beispielsweise durch einen motorisch bewegten Exzenter im Gehäuse erfolgen.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the change of the housing shape of the key is done by bulging. This can be done for example by a motor-driven eccentric in the housing.

Eine weitere Ausbildung eines erfindungsgemäßen Schlüsselgehäuses sieht vor, dass die Oberfläche des Gehäuses veränderbar ausgebildet ist. Insbesondere kann die Veränderung zu einer Rauhigkeit der Gehäuseoberfläche führen, die haptisch wahrnehmbar ist. A further embodiment of a key housing according to the invention provides that the surface of the housing is designed to be changeable. In particular, the change can lead to a roughness of the housing surface, which is haptic perceptible.

In vorteilhafter Weise können in das Gehäuse ausfahrbare Stifte integriert sein, die im ausgefahrenen Zustand eine haptisch wahrnehmbare Rauhigkeit der Oberfläche bewirken. Advantageously, can be integrated into the housing extendable pins, which cause a haptic perceptible roughness of the surface in the extended state.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ein Schlüssel mit einer veränderbaren Gehäuseform verwendet wird. It is particularly advantageous if a key with a variable housing shape is used in a method according to the invention.
