Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for preventing false triggering of a passive access system in the motor vehicle area, in particular a passive access system which has a vehicle-side handle and a capacitive sensor arranged in the area of the handle, which is connected to a central control unit and a data identification query of an operator triggered data carrier by the central control unit in the event of actuation of the handle.
- a person for. B. a vehicle via a data query of a data carrier, for. B. a key card.
- the data query is here by a mechanical switch attached to the vehicle or a sensor, for. B. a light barrier, which are installed on a door handle or at least in the area of a door handle.
- the person requesting access triggers the data query of the data carrier by a control unit in a vehicle by actuating a handle, more precisely by moving the door handle or by passing a light barrier with one hand.
- the triggered pulse is passed on from the control unit to a transmitter, which sends the data request to the data carrier. ger transmitted.
- the data carrier receives the data query command and forwards it to a data unit, which forwards the required data to a transmitter.
- the transmitter then transmits the data again via the vehicle-side transmission / reception unit to the control unit in the vehicle, which in the event of positive data recognition issues a command to unlock the locking system.
- the document DE 196 17 038 C2 describes a locking system in which at least one electrode is installed in the handles of the door handles of the vehicle and in the part of the motor vehicle door opposite the handle, a counter electrode is attached, which can also be the door itself. If an electrical field is built up between the two electrodes, this can advantageously be used to already sense the access request of a person reaching for a door handle. According to DE 196 17 038 C2, this is done in that a hand which reaches for a handle located on the door already changes the capacitance built up between the two electrodes when it approaches.
- the hand has the special function of changing the dielectric between the handle-side electrode and the counter electrode on the door side by replacing part of the ambient air with the dielectric of the hand and thus summatively resulting in a different overall dielectric.
- Electronics which perceive the change in capacity and translate it into a command pulse, are included in the handle of the door handle, for example.
- the command pulse generated by this electronics triggers the query of the operator-side data carrier in a central control unit, as already explained above.
- DE 197 45 149 C2 discloses a passive access system in the motor vehicle sector, with a capacitive sensor which is connected to a central control unit and triggers a data identification query of an operator-specific data carrier when the handle is actuated.
- DE 196 10 275 C2 discloses using the central control unit to record the number of negative data identification cases that have already been carried out and to compare them with a predetermined threshold value.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method for preventing false triggering of a passive access system, in particular in the event of rain, snow or slush, without having to completely switch off the locking system or the access system.
- the method according to the invention has the following procedural steps: detection of the number of negative data identification cases already carried out in a predetermined period of time by means of the central control unit; Comparing the recorded number of negative data identification cases with a predetermined threshold value by means of the central control unit; and performing a further data identification query by the central control unit in the event that the detected number of the new gative data identification is less than the predetermined threshold or sending a re-reference command signal from the central control unit to the capacitive sensor for re-reference thereof in the event that the detected number of negative data identification cases is equal to the predetermined threshold.
- the present invention thus has the advantage over the known approaches according to the prior art that the capacitive sensor, due to the self-carried out re-referencing, comes into its retirement in the event of a predetermined number of negative data queries already carried out, in which only a low power consumption takes place.
- the system therefore remains fully functional even in the event of rain or snow after a long period of non-operation, since false triggers only lead to increased power consumption for a predetermined period of time if there is no identification transmitter associated with the vehicle in the vicinity of the vehicle.
- the predetermined threshold value is stored in advance in a storage device.
- the storage device is preferably connected to the central control unit.
- the predetermined threshold value can be 2 or 3, for example. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that other threshold values are also possible, depending on which power consumption is tolerated in the successive queries.
- the capacitive sensor is re-referenced in the static one Commanded operation of the handle by the central control unit. This ensures that when the central control unit receives a new reference command signal, the capacitive sensor re-calibrates itself or readjusts its zero position in such a way that it adapts to the static state.
- a re-reference command signal is sent from the central control unit to the capacitive sensor for re-reference of the same. This prevents false triggering, for example, by closing the vehicle - occur door.
- the exterior mirrors are folded in, the door locking device is activated, side windows are closed and / or further vehicle state changes are carried out, for example, when the handle for closing a vehicle door is actuated by means of a positive data identification case.
- the door locking device deactivated, side windows opened and / or further vehicle state changes are carried out.
- a plurality of capacitive sensors are preferably provided in the vehicle, one sensor being arranged on each door, flap or the like, for example.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a vehicle with an integrated passive access system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 shows a side cross-sectional view of a handle and part of a vehicle door according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 3 is a schematic block diagram of a process flow according to the invention according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of a vehicle with an integrated passive access system, which is designed only as an example as a locking system for locking or unlocking a vehicle door.
- each door preferably faces 1 each have a door handle that includes a handle 2.
- the handle 2 can be designed, for example, as a handle bar or the handle flap, which contains a capacitive sensor 3.
- Conductors run from the respective capacitive sensors 3 to a central control unit 4 from the handles 2 or the door handles.
- a signal from the capacitive sensor 3 is triggered via these conductors when a hand approaches the space between the handle 2 and door 1 the central control unit 4 delivered.
- the central control unit 4 such a signal triggers a data request from an operator-side data carrier (not shown), the central control unit 4 passing on the signals to a plurality of transmitting / receiving units 8, which transmit the data request electromagnetically to the data carrier.
- the data output command for example, is received in the data carrier via an antenna and forwarded to a recipient of the data carrier.
- the receiver forwards the signal to a data unit of the data carrier, which transmits the data to be called up via a transmitter and the antenna of the data carrier to the transmitting / receiving units 8 in the vehicle.
- the transmitting / receiving units 8 pass on the received data to the central control unit 4 via conductor tracks.
- the data supplied by the data carrier are compared with the identification data stored in a storage device 5 connected to the central control unit 4.
- the central control unit 4 uses suitable connections to pass on a signal for unlocking the locking device 7, which switches the handle 2 from an inactive to an effective mode. In this effective stood the handle 2 is an opening of the locking devices 7 by operating the handle 2 possible.
- the power supply to the locking system, the central control unit 4 and the other effective electrical components is preferably taken over by the car battery 9 present in the vehicle.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a side cross-sectional view of a handle 2 and a part of the motor vehicle door 1.
- the handle 2 of the door handle has a first electrode 10 and the region of the door handle on the vehicle has a second electrode 11, between which the electrical field is located 12 spreads.
- electronics In the event of a change in the electrical field 12 in FIG. 2 between the two electrodes 10 and 11 of the door handle, for example due to the engagement of fingers, electronics, as already mentioned above, perceive the change in capacitance and convert this change into a command pulse, which is sent to the central control unit 4 via suitable lines.
- the command pulse generated by this electronics triggers a data identification query on a user-side data carrier in the central control unit 4.
- the central control unit 4 checks the extent to which, for example, after the motor vehicle door has been closed, further used user-side data carriers are located inside the motor vehicle, for example in the glove compartment. If data carriers on the operator side are located within the vehicle, they are hidden by the central control unit 4, so that they are not taken into account further for further method steps. Unwanted identification data of such data carriers can thus advantageously be hidden.
- the central control unit 4 then preferably checks how often unsuccessful queries or negative data identification cases have already been carried out within a predetermined, previous period.
- a negative data identification case occurs when a query by the central control unit 4 shows that there is no identification transmitter or data carrier on the vehicle, the data carriers undesirably located in the vehicle possibly not being taken into account, as has already been explained above.
- the central control unit 4 is preferably connected to a memory device 5, in which, in particular, the predetermined time period for checking the number i of the negative data identification cases already carried out and a predetermined threshold value j are stored.
- the threshold value j is preferably 2 or 3 and denotes the maximum number of identification queries to be carried out by the central control unit 4 before the capacitive sensor 3 is re-referenced, which will be described in more detail below.
- the central control unit 4 compares the detected number i of the negative data identification cases already carried out in the predetermined period with that in the memory device 5 previously stored threshold value j.
- a threshold value j equal to 2 is assumed for the following explanations. However, different threshold values are of course also possible.
- the central control unit 4 If a comparison by the central control unit 4 reveals that the number i of negative identification cases already carried out is less than the stored threshold value j equal to 2, the central control unit 4 carries out a further data identification query.
- the central control unit 4 sends a re-re-enablement command.
- the capacitive sensor 3 is requested by the received re-referencing command signal to automatically recalibrate itself or to re-calibrate its zero position, so that, for example, moisture or snow, which may cover the sensor area, do not trigger certain changes in state incorrectly , such as unlocking or locking the motor vehicle door 1, folding in or folding out side mirrors, raising or lowering windows, or the like. Due to the new generation of the capacitive sensor 3, the triggering condition due to, for example, the moisture or snow located in the sensor area is no longer fulfilled, and the sensor 3 no longer detects actuation. This means there is no energy-consuming data identification. Decoration query, which significantly reduces the total energy consumption.
- certain functions of the vehicle are actuated by the central control unit 4 in the case of a positive data identification query.
- this can be a locking or unlocking of the door, an opening or folding of the doors. mirrors, opening or closing windows, and / or other vehicle condition changes.
- the capacitive sensor 3 can also be re-referenced whenever the door contact state changes, so that, for example, each time the door 1 is closed, the associated capacitive sensor (s) 3 are referenced in such a way that no false triggering by the Closing door 1 takes place.
- the present invention thus provides a method with which false triggers of a passive access system can be prevented in a simple and inexpensive manner.
- the access system remains constantly ready for operation even in the event of disturbances in the electrical field, for example due to rain or snow or other disturbance variables.
- false triggers caused by such disturbance variables require an increased quiescent current only over a short period of time, namely during the passage of the data identification queries with a number according to the predetermined threshold value, if there is no identification transmitter or data carrier associated with the vehicle on the vehicle.
- the access system is retired, in which only a low power consumption takes place. Consequently emptying of the vehicle battery can be advantageously prevented without having to forego the permanent functionality of the access system.
