Description

State of the art

The present invention relates to a radio key and a method for adapting an association between a user profile and a radio key. In particular, the present invention relates to the comfortable implementation of such an adaptation.

Radio keys are known in the prior art through which authorized users can gain access to means of transportation (e.g., cars, vans, trucks, etc.). The settings frequently adapted to a user-designed functions of the means of locomotion are assigned to a user profile, which in turn is linked to a respective radio key. If the user uses his radio key to access the means of transportation, the means of locomotion can automatically make the setting associated with the radio key according to the user profile.

Moreover, methods are known in which wireless interfaces allow communication between a smartphone and a means of transportation. In this way, the data exchange, superficially of multimedia data, address book entries, etc. transmitted to and used by a vehicle. Sometimes also a direct operation of individual comfort functions via the radio key or mobile user terminals, e.g. the setting of a heater, known.

In addition, profile management systems for vehicles are known (e.g., the BMW brand called "PIA" for "personalization, initialization, adaptation"). This is based on the key number of the currently used vehicle key.

On the one hand, the handling of (now very individual and complex) profiles is increasingly difficult for the user. In addition, the state of the art exploits the technical possibilities only unsatisfactory. It is therefore an object of the present invention to meet the needs identified above.

Disclosure of the invention

The object identified above is achieved by a method for adapting an association between a user profile and a radio key for a means of transportation. In the context of the present invention, a user profile is understood as a data set which combines a plurality of specific settings of a user for a plurality of different functions or systems of the means of locomotion. A user profile or data record can be represented by a user profile identifier, in particular as associated information (code or number). A radio key is in particular set up to open the means of transportation or to allow the authorized user physical access.

A mobile user terminal (eg a mobile phone, a smartphone, a PDA, a netbook, a notebook, an ultrabook or the like) is to be understood in the context of the present invention as a portable universal electronic unit, which is also used for the wireless transmission of communication data ( in particular telephony and IP (Internet Protocol-based) communication) provided and is independent of a means of transport to use.

The method includes polling an authentication for a data exchange between the radio key and a mobile user terminal. The data exchange includes in particular the authorization for an adaptation of the user profile. This step could also be referred to as "pairing" between the radio key and the mobile user terminal, wherein an identifier is transmitted as the information representing the user profile to be activated, at least in one direction. This information can be verified, e.g. by transmitting them in both directions. Subsequently, an association between a user profile and the radio key is adjusted by means of the portable mobile user terminal. During the adaptation, the information representing the user profile (in short: user profile identifier) is checked and / or changed in the radio key. This can be done by reviewing and / or changing an activation status of one of several user profiles, e.g. Modify flags. In other words, by means of the portable mobile user terminal, a user profile for the radio key is activated or provided which was not previously activated.

Not all data of the user profile itself must be stored on the remote key. Alternatively or additionally, the information representing the user profile may also comprise a part of the data of the user profile, in particular supplementary data or data to be changed from the data record.

In addition, it should be considered as lying within the scope of the present invention that the user profile or only its identifier is transmitted and activated by means of the mobile user terminal to the radio key. In particular, a direct data exchange a direct wireless communication connection between the mobile user terminal and the radio key for transmitting the user profile identifier and / or parts of the user profile (or a user profile representing data set) are used. In this way, a larger number of user profiles for one and the same radio key or a reduced number of radio keys can be provided.

On the one hand, the number of radio keys to be output by the manufacturer of the means of transportation can be reduced by the method. On the other hand, a, e.g. between the users in the context of car-sharing or in the context of a user agreement transferred or exchanged radio key flexibly by a the actual user assigned or suitable for the new user user profile "described". That the radio key is capable of adapting the user profile, e.g. to open a vehicle and to activate a new user profile, for example of the next user, in the vehicle.

For example, three, four, five or more users can use vehicles equipped with only one or two remote control keys to be fully automatically customizable. As a result, the means of transportation can be produced more cheaply and offered for sale and especially for hire.

Preferably, the adjustment process proposed according to the invention for the association between the user profile and the radio key can be triggered automatically by the portable mobile user terminal of the user currently possessing the radio key.

The dependent claims show preferred developments of the invention.

User profiles which can be adapted according to the invention by the changed assignment can themselves be composed of data records from a plurality of contiguous data which represent respective settings of a plurality of functions of the means of locomotion. One or more such user profiles may be present at the same time in non-volatile memory of the radio key, their respective activation status being indicated by information associated with the user profile, e.g. is changeable by flags. In this way, the user profiles can even be kept in the radio key. When adapting the user profile, one or more flags can be changed. Alternatively or additionally, one or more user profiles may be handled in the portable mobile unit.

According to the invention, a radio key thus has a user profile which can be adapted within the scope of the method. The user profile can preferably be adapted by adapting the user profile identifier and / or by changing a part of the data set and / or by changing one or more activation flags assigned to at least two user profiles. Particularly preferably, only the user profile identifier and a part of the data from the user profile are adapted.

The adaptation of the user profile in the context of the present invention can be done with a "strong protection" by means of an authentication. Since the amount of data to be adapted in the process is extremely low, there is no need for computation-intensive and therefore longer-lasting strong encryption, for example, of the entire setting data. For the time being, the user profile identifier of the remote key can be checked during the adaptation, and if the new user profile has a different identifier, the user profile is changed. If one of the user profiles provided in the radio key matches the new user profile, the corresponding user profile is adopted by the radio key. If none of the user profiles fits, one, preferably best matching user profile of the remote key can be activated. In addition, individual data from the record may be written to or activated by the mobile user equipment in the radio key, which preferably minimizes the difference between the most appropriate user profile and the new user profile.

In addition, other information (e.g., recent calls, last played music, or the like) may be transmitted to an acquired radio key without being visible to an unauthorized user. These can be assigned to the new user profile in such a way that they can only be used together with the new user profile. The authentication provided in the method may require that the portable mobile user terminal be uniquely associated with a particular authorized user. Such an assignment can be made, for example, depending on a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) for the telecommunications identification of a mobile subscriber and / or a MAC address of the mobile user device. Future standards which are suitable for this purpose are, of course, suitably usable.

The wireless communication which can be used according to the invention for adapting the user profile can for example also be used for the purpose of mutual authentication. Suitable technologies are all suitable standards (eg Bluetooth, RFID, NFC (Near Field Communication, etc.)) Also optical connections (eg via an infrared interface or the reading in of QR codes) are conceivable. or authentication method in combination (eg in predefined order) can be used to preclude tapping or tampering with the authentication process.

According to the invention, an identifier of the mobile user terminal can be used for authentication. This is to be understood as information which uniquely identifies the mobile user device or parts contained therein. The identifier of a mobile user device may be information that is used depending on its associated Subscriber Identity Modules (SIM) and / or its MAC address and / or the International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the mobile user terminal.

The identifier of the mobile user device can be sent for authentication in the form of a data record to the radio key and then checked for authorization of the mobile user terminal. This can be done either in the radio key or (after an answer by the radio key, possibly with an additional identifier of the radio key) are performed within the mobile portable user terminal.

According to the invention, the radio key is configured to store one or more information that is dependent on one or more identifiers of mobile user devices. These may e.g. by an authorized entity, e.g. an authorized vehicle dealer into which radio keys are stored. During authentication, the identifier of the mobile user device is checked for a match or a predefined scientific relationship with the information stored in the radio key. If this is the case, the authentication is successful.

The method can also be designed in such a way that information about the active or activatable user profile is displayed directly on the radio key. For example, this can be achieved by means of an optical marking, in particular a graphic, a symbol, a name of the user or the like. respectively. The identification can also be configured, for example, in the form of a QR code and also comprise further expedient information. Alternatively or additionally, a light pattern / pattern emitted by illuminants of the radio key can be picked up by means of a sensor (for example a camera) of the user terminal and analyzed for authentication. In this case, cyclic codes can also be used or variable signals can be generated as information according to a predefined sequence. In this way, a user is always informed about the current association between the radio key and the user profile.

The authentication according to the invention may preferably take place as a function of matching and / or suitable circumstances of the user terminal and the radio key. These circumstances can be detected by sensors and, for. B. within the user device, in particular to contexts or patterns are checked. In other words, an authentication or adaptation of an association between the user profile and a radio key takes place in each case in consideration of the radio key and the user terminal of predefined circumstances (eg time and / or location and / or light intensity and / or ambient acoustic noise, and / or acceleration signals Etc.). As a result, such an adaptation can be carried out more conveniently. Moreover, this secures the adaptation of the assignment against unauthorized, spatially distant users.

The adaptation of the association may alternatively or additionally include combining information (user profile 1) of the portable user mobile terminal and information of the broadcast key (user profile 2) to a new user profile (user profile 1-2). In other words, the data sets exchanged for authentication can be combined with one another to jointly create a new user profile. This can then be made plausible by the user terminal and / or by the radio key. A simple way of combining is to concatenate the data contained in the records. Alternatively or additionally, a local addition, an arithmetic addition or another predefined data link can be carried out in order to take into account the information of both data records in the context of the authentication. In other words, a data set representing a composite "hybrid" user profile generated according to a predetermined logic can be determined. The predefined data link can be designed in such a way that the resulting user profile for two different users of the means of transportation, e.g. Driver and passenger of a motor vehicle would be acceptable.

Further, the method may include displaying a content representative of the user profile on a display of the wireless key. In other words, a symbol, a lettering, a color, an animation, or the like. be visually reproduced, by which the user profile is optically marked and distinguishable from other user profiles. In this way, the user of the radio key at any time in a simple and intuitive way to check whether the desired user profile activated on the radio key or an inventive adjustment of the assignment is required.

Preferably, the user can be assisted in adapting the assignment by automatically checking a predefined condition between the radio key and the portable mobile user terminal and adapting a mapping between the user profile and the radio key upon detection of a predefined condition or proposing an adaptation.

The predefined condition may, for example, be a predefined spatial proximity (minimum distance, in particular for a predefined period of time (eg 1 second, 30 seconds, 1 minute or the like) Depending on the sensors provided, movement, alignment, temperature, Noise pattern, position sensors, eg GPS, or similar checks and closed at a sufficient match, in particular when determining a predetermined relationship or correlation to the predefined condition and an automatic adjustment of the assignment, or a proposal for the adjustment can be arranged.

If the radio key and the mobile user terminal are equipped with acceleration sensors or position sensors and these are transported jointly by a user, the sensor signals, in particular a temporal function of the change in acceleration or position will have a corresponding match or correlation. By matching the sensor signals or information dependent thereon between the mobile user device and the radio key, the correspondence or a sufficient correlation is ascertained. Then, an automatic adjustment can be made or proposed to the user, in particular by a beep, graphic or menu. The same applies to the case where the user terminal and the radio key are held in one hand and are excited, for example, by a shaking motion with correspondingly correlating acceleration signals for data transmission. If, on the other hand, it is determined that there is no longer a match with a first mobile user device and there is a match with a second mobile user device, a transfer of the radio key is assumed and a transfer is proposed. Such a takeover suggestion can then by the user z. B. be confirmed or rejected by means of an operating element.

Preferably, in such a takeover proposal for a user profile, which includes security-relevant settings of the vehicle or concerns only the acquisition of a part of a user profile of such settings, the adaptation of the association between a user profile and a radio key in dependence on an additional authentication. In other words, the method may be configured such that the adaptation of certain parts of the user profile are carried out without a predetermined authentication, while the adaptation of another part of the user profile requires the predetermined, in particular additional, authentication.

A particularly secure data transmission between the mobile user device and the radio key can be realized in the context of the method by using one-way codes. Such are also called transaction numbers ("TAN"). For example, the inventive assignment of the user profile can only be triggered or carried out by means of the user terminal if the user enters a unique code or transaction number (TAN) in the user terminal. For example, an application within the user terminal may automatically contain a plurality of TANs or have corresponding access to a TAN-containing database. The predefined TANs are also stored in the radio key and are checked within the radio key as soon as a new user profile is to be assigned to the radio key. If the TAN is allowed, the adjustment will be made, otherwise the adjustment will be rejected. This also offers the possibility of outputting certain TANs to a user terminal or a user only under predefined conditions. These may be associated with the activation of certain functions or services (e.g., vehicle cloud, vehicle infrastructure services, or the like). For example, issuing prioritized codes may require payment of a predefined amount of money.

Before the above-mentioned optical indication is made on the display of the radio key, a predefined action or a predefined state of the radio key may be required. For example, an actuation of a pushbutton the radio key visual display (eg for a predefined period or until the occurrence of another predefined condition). The visual display may include, for example, the name of the user and / or a profile date on which the profile has been created. Alternatively or additionally, the visual display can also be made on a (usually larger screen) of the smartphone. This provides convenient feedback to the user about the changed or activated user profile and can avoid misunderstandings. Also, the display may include information representing a customized or customizable part of a user profile.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a radio key for a traveling means comprising a transceiver unit for performing authentication for data exchange between the radio key and a portable mobile user terminal. Furthermore, the radio key comprises a writable data memory for storing an association between a user profile and the radio key. The assignment can be adapted, for example, by data communication described above by means of the mobile user terminal. In particular, the radio key is set up to replace a second data record located in the data memory with a first data record or to identify it as current with a corresponding flag, the first data record comprising a different user profile than the second data record. In this way, the first or the second data record can be activated and used to identify a user profile of the radio key.

For the radio key according to the invention, the features, combinations of features and resulting from these advantages in accordance with the radio key associated features of the above-described method of the invention.

Preferably, the radio key may further include a cavity and attachment means, the cavity being configured to receive the portable user portable terminal. The attachment means are configured to reversibly connect the in-cavity mobile user terminal portable to the remote key. In this way, an unwanted separation of the user terminal is prevented by the radio key. It may be deviated from a traditional geometric design of the radio key.

Optionally, a data interface can be arranged within the cavity, which in the case of a user terminal inserted in the cavity corresponds to a data interface of the user terminal. On the one hand, the data interface can thus be used for a data exchange between the radio key and the user terminal. On the other hand, the data interfaces are protected against ingress of foreign bodies and mechanical forces.

More preferably, the radio key can also be set up to compare identifiers within a means of transport of mobile portable user terminals with a user profile stored in the data memory of the means of locomotion (and in particular activated) and to cause the means of locomotion to set a plurality of functions corresponding to the identifier of assigned data set. This characteristic is based on the assumption that the identifier of a user terminal which does not coincide with the currently used radio key is to be assigned to an occupant in the passenger seat or in the back of the vehicle. An adaptation of the passenger seat position can therefore be adapted to the user profile, which is assigned to the not associated with the vehicle key mobile user terminal. Regardless of whether a second radio key was also carried in the means of locomotion (e.g., by the passenger), in this way the vehicle can accept the user profile of the supposed co-driver.

According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a computer program product comprising instructions which, when executed on a programmable processor of a mobile user terminal, enable the user terminal to perform an authentication for a data exchange with a radio key, an association between to adapt a user profile and the radio key and in particular to replace a second data set stored in the radio key by a first data record for the purpose of adapting the assignment. The substitution may, for example, be such that, after a flag has been assigned to the first data record, the flag is subsequently assigned to the second data record. In this way, the computer program product may set up a mobile user terminal (e.g., a smart phone, a PDA, a tablet PC, or the like) to be used in a method for adjusting an association between a user profile and a radio key for a traveling means.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is proposed a mobile user terminal including a user interface, a processing unit, and a transmission unit includes. The user terminal is set up to perform an authentication for a data exchange with a radio key and to adapt an association between a user profile and the radio key. In particular, a second data record stored in the radio key can be replaced by a first data record and the assignment can thus be adapted. The processing unit of the mobile user terminal can be set up by a computer program product according to the aforementioned aspect of the invention to participate in a method according to the invention.

New developments enable special configurations of the user terminal. In an expedient embodiment of the method, mobile user terminals and communication devices can be configured as part of an article on the body of the user, in particular in the form of a wristwatch or an electronically equipped article of clothing (Smart Clothes). Smart-clothes (also referred to as "I-Wear") are garments that are equipped with electronic devices or functions. In particular, the electronic part and / or the sensory part of the smart-clothes are integrated into the garment so that it is not visible from the outside. Also, the electronic components of smart-clothes that are functionally used to practice the invention may be flexible and conformable to the body shape or body movement or physical condition.
