Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remotely controllable access control device, especially for a motor vehicle, and a designed transponder.
  • a stationary one for example in a motor vehicle arranged transmitter and receiver unit sends when pressed a triggering device (e.g. door handle) a question code signal, that of a transponder carried by the user received and answered by a response code signal.
  • the sending and receiving unit compares the received response code signal with a stored target code signal and Approves access if they match, i.e. unlocks the Motor vehicle door.
  • the transponder can be in the form of a conventional one Key or be designed as a chip card.
  • the invention has for its object a remotely controllable To create access control facility at which the danger of an unauthorized unlocking process is reduced.
  • the invention becomes one for such an access control device designed portable transponder created according to claim 7.
  • the transponder sends depending on whether it has a question code signal has received or by manual operation of his Actuator for signal transmission is caused different Send signals to the stationary transmitter and receiver unit.
  • These different transmission signals can consist in that when a question code signal and always the same when actuating the actuating element Emits base code signal, but with an additional, added Information, for example an identifier, which indicates whether the transponder by receiving a question code signal or by actuating the actuator for Sending the code signal has been caused.
  • This additional information cannot be added only in one Identifier exist, but also communicated in another way by different numbers, for example sending the same code signal depending on whether previously a question code signal was received or the actuator had been pressed. Avoids such a design the need to extend the code signal as such need (by adding the identifier) and this information currently have to generate with every transmission. Instead, the same code signal can always be used come through, the cause of the code signal transmission the number of retransmissions is communicated. For example the configuration can be made such that upon receipt of the question code signal the code signal twice in succession is sent while operating the actuator the code signal is only sent once or three times.
  • an opening process only after repeated, e.g. triple repetition of the question and answer code cycle.
  • the response code signal In this case, it must be provided several times on time be what security against an unjustified Opening process increased.
  • that can Question and / or answer code signal during repetition the question and answer code cycles are changed, for example by respective recalculation of the new question and / or answer code signal to be transmitted on the basis of the previous sent question and / or answer code signal and one internal, the transponder and the stationary transmit and Known key receiving unit.
  • the transponder actuating element when the transponder actuating element is actively actuated several code signals from the transponder, preferably with alternating coding. This also increases security against unauthorized persons Obtaining access by copying the transponder code signals, because these are then in the correct time Sequence and sent at the correct time interval Need to become.
  • the stationary transmitter and receiver unit checked in this and that explained in the previous paragraph Case also the temporal position and chronological order the code signals sent by the transponder, ie checked additionally a time criterion.
  • the transponder in such a way that that he can store two different code signals (or generate), one of which is in response to receiving a question code signal and the other in response sent out on the actuation of the actuating element becomes.
  • the stationary transmitter and receiver unit checks this received code signal, and if necessary the additionally determined Information, being provided if it previously received a question code signal sent out another information and / or another target code signal is expected and provided than if there was no previous transmission of a question code signal. Only if the received code signal, and if necessary the additional information with the currently provided Target code signal and / or the currently expected information matches, controls the transmitting and receiving device unlocking the access, but otherwise leaves blocked access.
  • the transponder If in the case described at the beginning the transponder through an unauthorized transmitter with the Question code signal is applied, it therefore sends Code signal and / or information that the stationary Sending and receiving unit the previous reception of a Question code signal signals. Since the sending and receiving unit but did not send out such a question code signal and thus only that of the transponder actuation element assigned code signal (or the associated additional information) accepted, access remains blocked.
  • the transmitting and receiving device is designed so that it after sending out a question code signal, a time window for a opens for a short time, for example one second and only one received within this time window Answer code signal accepted.
  • the time window can go through Start an internal, at the appropriate time interval set timer when sending the question code signal be implemented, the time window when the Timer is closed again.
  • the invention is not only in motor vehicles, but also generally for door locking systems, for example house and / or Apartment or room doors can be used.
  • a method for remotely controllable is also within the scope of the invention Access control, where signal generation, - Transmission and evaluation in the above Way.
  • the Transponder 1 shows a key in the form of a portable transponder, the one control device (for example microchip) 2, an actuating element which can be operated manually by the transponder owner 3 and a transmitter / receiver 4 contains.
  • the Transponder 1 can have the usual key form, as a chip card trained or constructed in any other appropriate manner his.
  • the actuator 3 is with the control device 2 connected, so that the operating state at all times of the actuator 3 monitor and query can. Furthermore, the control device 2 with the transmitter / receiver 4 connected and recognizes not only from this received signals, but also controls this for transmission of code signals.
  • FIG. 1 further schematically shows some components of a Motor vehicle 5 shown, in which the invention Access control device is used.
  • the car 5 contains a transmitting and receiving device 6, which has a for example antenna 7 code signals attached to the outside mirror can send and receive.
  • the motor vehicle points an externally accessible actuating means operable by a user for example in the form of a door handle 8 or corresponding, on a door or other vehicle component arranged control buttons when pressed the transmitting and receiving device for sending a Question code signal to transponder 1 is caused.
  • a control device e.g. a door control unit 9 is present, which Unlocking and locking the vehicle doors controls and via a data communication line, e.g. a bus 10 with the transmitting and receiving device 6 is connected.
  • the transmitting and receiving device 6 and the door control device 9 can possibly also functionally combined as one unit his.
  • the transponder 1 continuously checks in a step S1 or at regular or irregular intervals, whether via the transmitter / receiver 4 a question code signal the transmitting and receiving device 6 is received. If that the case is, this is detected by the control device 2, which then the transmitter / receiver 4 to send out a in stored or generated by it, defined Code signal controls (step S2). In addition, a certain Information, for example the identifier "0" is sent. Alternatively, the control device 2 can in step S2 Transmitter / receiver 4 for sending a special, for the In the event of a previous question code signal reception Control code signal, such as code signal a.
  • step S3 is checked whether the actuating element 3 is actuated becomes what is detected by the control device 2. If if this is the case, the control device 2 controls the transmitter / receiver 4 to send the code signal, but now with other information, for example the identifier "1" (Step S4). Alternatively, the control device 2 can Transmitter / receiver 4 also for sending another, yourself Control code signal b different from code signal a. If it is determined in step S3 that the actuating element 3 is not activated, the sequence returns to the beginning of the Fig. 2 shown sequence of steps back. This is also in the connection the steps S2 and S4 the case. The steps S1 and S3 are run through cyclically.
  • Fig. 3 shows the operational flow in the stationary transmission and Receiving device 6.
  • step S5 it is checked whether whether the existing on the motor vehicle, by the motor vehicle user actuable actuating means, for example the door handle 8, is operated. If this is the case, the send and Receiving device 6 the transmission in step S6 a defined question code signal to transponder 1, and then waits for a certain time interval Step S7 to receive a response from transponder 1 returned code signal. If during the given Period no response signal is received, the returns Operating sequence again at the beginning of that shown in Fig. 3 Step back. If, however, a code signal in step S7 is determined, this is done with a step S8 stored in the transmitting and receiving device 6 or generated target code signal compared.
  • step S8 it checks whether the received code signal with an additional piece of information, namely the identifier "0" is. If both verification results are positive, unlocking the door control device 9 in a step S9 commanded the motor vehicle door or doors. Otherwise the operation returns without unlocking the vehicle again at the beginning of the sequence of steps shown in FIG. 3 back.
  • the transmitting and receiving device can also be programmed in this way be that if they have one or more wrong answer code signals has received communication for a particular Time period of, for example, 3 to 10 minutes, during this time that means no longer on response code signals responds and no question code signals are generated.
  • the transmitting and receiving device can also be designed so that an opening process after one or more reception of wrong answer code signals only with a special key (or code) from an authorized Body can be carried out.
  • Step S8 provides the code signal a as the target code signal, and in accordance with the received code signal proceeded to step S9 (unlocking). In this Case, no identification check is to be carried out in step S8.
  • step S10 in which it is checked whether a code signal via the Antenna 7 is received. If not, return the sequence at the beginning of the sequence of steps shown in FIG. 3 back so that the queries according to steps S5 and S10 be repeated until one of these queries for Result "yes" leads. If so at step S10, in step S11, the received code signal with the target code signal compared and further checked whether the with the received code signal transmitted information of the identifier "1" corresponds. If this is the case, the process moves to step S9 and unlocks the motor vehicle door or doors.
  • the code signal can be used as the target code signal in step S11 b are formed and checked whether the received Code signal matches this target code signal. In in this case no ID verification is required.
  • the code signal Number of items of information transmitted by the transponder the repetition of the code signals, their frequency, amplitude course or consist of another parameter, where then this parameter is checked in steps S8 and S11.
