La présente invention concerne une clé électronique d'un véhicule et un système comprenant un véhicule et une clé électronique. Des clés électroniques de véhicules sont connues aussi bien que des systèmes comprenant un véhicule et une clé électronique. De telles clés sont normalement positionnées dans leur état actif de manière à émerger d'une surface du véhicule, notamment une surface du tableau de bord. Le document DE 195 07 154 A1 décrit une clé d'un véhicule qui peut être utilisé dans une position enfoncée dans le tableau de bord.The present invention relates to an electronic key of a vehicle and a system comprising a vehicle and an electronic key. Electronic vehicle keys are known as well as systems including a vehicle and an electronic key.

Les clés électroniques connues peuvent comprendre une lame de clé qui est insérée dans un barillet de contact lors du démarrage du véhicule. Il est connu que la lame de clé est réalisée en un matériau métallique.Known systems comprising an electronic key and a vehicle and provide a wireless link between the electronic key and the vehicle to transmit information at least in one direction, including the key to the vehicle, for example to achieve an opening of the vehicle. The realization of this wireless link is done for example by electromagnetic waves, for example in the range of radio frequency waves and / or in the range of infrared frequencies. Known electronic keys may include a key blade which is inserted into a contact barrel when starting the vehicle. It is known that the key blade is made of a metallic material.
Un inconvénient de tels systèmes, selon l'art connu, consiste dans le fait qu'un transfert d'énergie du véhicule vers la clé électronique est difficile à réaliser car les lames métalliques des systèmes connus sont prévues en une seule pièce. Ceci requiert la nécessité de prévoir une source d'énergie électrique, notamment de type pile, de suffisamment grande capacité pourA disadvantage of such systems, according to the prior art, is that a transfer of energy from the vehicle to the electronic key is difficult to achieve because the metal blades of known systems are provided in one piece. This requires the need to provide a source of electrical energy, particularly of the battery type, of sufficiently large capacity to
FEUILLE DE REMPLACEMENT (RÈGLE 26) soutenir une durée d'utilisation suffisamment longue de la clé électronique. Un autre inconvénient d'un système selon l'art connu est d'une part que la qualité de la transmission d'information entre le véhicule et la clé électronique peut être diminuée à cause de l'environnement électromagnétique, et d'autre part que la transmission d'information entre le véhicule et la clé électronique est elle-même une source d'erreurs dans d'autres systèmes électroniques.SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) to support a sufficiently long duration of use of the electronic key. Another disadvantage of a system according to the known art is on the one hand that the quality of the transmission of information between the vehicle and the electronic key can be diminished because of the electromagnetic environment, and on the other hand that the transmission of information between the vehicle and the electronic key is itself a source of errors in other electronic systems.
