Definitions

  • a remote control is then assigned to a base station arranged in a motor vehicle by the latter issuing a search signal, to which remote controls located in the range of the search signal respond by returning a contact signal at times that are characteristic of the remote controls.
  • the base station determines the remote controls present by evaluating the input times of the contact signal feedback. She selects one of them to carry out a challenge / response verification. Because the information about the remote controls present is not contained in the contact signal, but rather when it is sent back, the contact signal can be simply constructed and the entire detection process can be carried out very quickly. The speed of detection is only determined by the number of time slots provided for the individual remote controls. If, however, a very large number of remote assigned to operations, the process loses the advantage of its speed.
  • the object is achieved by a method having the features of the main claim and devices designed for carrying it out in accordance with the subclaims.
  • the method according to the invention allows, by assigning several remote controls to individual time slots, the assignment of a large number of remote controls to a base station while the assignment recognition speed remains high. The number of time slots can thus be kept small and the allocation recognition speed can be kept high.
  • An additional control signal with which the base station causes the remote controls to transmit their device codes, is advantageously used to differentiate between several remote controls responding in the same time slot.
  • the base station uses the intelligibility of the returned device codes particularly advantageously as identification information.
  • the remote controls are stimulated to emit randomly set contact signals, with the remote control that first clearly answers being selected. As a result, a remote control is clearly identified in just a few steps and correspondingly quickly if several remote controls assigned to the same time slot are within range of the base station.

  • the challenge signal sent to the remote control 20 is received by the transceiver 21 and transferred to the microprocessor 24. The latter derives a response signal from the received challenge signal in the same way as the microprocessor 13 of the base station 10 and sends it back to the base station 10, step 132.
  • Its microprocessor 13 compares the received response signal with the one received previously determined target response signal and outputs a release signal if they match, a blocking signal if they do not match.
  • a blocking signal is issued in particular when the device code 27 contained in the response signal belongs to a remote control 20 that has been blocked, for example after loss or theft.
  • the microprocessor 13 effects the output of an identification signal via the transceiver 11, step 114. It initiates the microprocessors 24 of the remote controls 20 present to respond by sending back the device code 27 present in the memories 25.

For this purpose, he sends the remote control 20 a challenge signal consisting of a random number, step 134, and at the same time he generates a target response signal from the random number by linking it with the cryptic key code 31. In the same way, the remote control 20 operates in the meantime with the challenge signal sent to it. The resultant encrypted signal is sent back to the bass station 10, step 136.

  • the microprocessor 13 initiates the transmission of a singling signal, step 120. It is received by the remote controls 20 and forwarded to their respective microprocessors 24. The isolation signal causes those to send a contact signal in a randomly selected time window that is not linked to the group number 28.
  • the microprocessors 24 of the remote controls 20 accordingly initiate the randomly controlled selection of a time window, step 122, after receiving an individualization signal. For this purpose, they link the device code 27 present in the memory 25, for example with a random number generated by the microprocessor or previously sent by base station 10.

  • the microprocessor 13 of the base station 10 expects the input of the first contact signal, step 124. As soon as it has determined the input of the first contact signal, it no longer accepts further incoming contact signals. At the same time, he initiates the transmission of a control signal, step 126, which blocks the transmission of further prepared contact signals by the remote controls 20 in later time windows. The remote controls 20 that are hindered from transmitting no longer participate in the subsequent communication. Thereupon, the microprocessor 13 again sends an identification signal, step 114, to the remote controls 20 still involved in the communication. Those in turn respond by sending back their device code, step 116, which the base station-side microprocessor 13 in turn evaluates for unambiguous interpretability .
  • the microprocessor 13 continues with the execution of the assignment correctness check according to step 130. If there is no clear interpretability during the check in step 118, the microprocessor 13 repeats steps 114 to 126 until the check in step 128 results in a device code that can be clearly identified. If the microprocessor 13 determines, when running through the loop defined by steps 114 to 126, that no response contact signal is received in response to an identification signal, it terminates the association communication, step 138, and / or initiates further suitable follow-up measures.
