The abstract of a patent application describes a vehicle that includes a door sensor, multiple transceivers, a display, and one or more controllers. The controllers, in response to data from the door sensor indicating a door is missing from the vehicle, instruct the transceivers to emit radio frequency signals to check for the presence of a fob in the vehicle.
- The vehicle has a door sensor that detects when a door is absent.
- Multiple transceivers are used to send out radio frequency signals.
- The controllers command the transceivers to emit signals to determine if a fob is present in the vehicle.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced vehicle security systems - Improved keyless entry systems for vehicles
Problems Solved: - Preventing unauthorized access to the vehicle - Ensuring the presence of the fob for keyless entry
Benefits: - Increased security for the vehicle - Convenient keyless entry system for users
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Vehicle Security System with Keyless Entry This technology can be used in automotive industry for developing advanced security systems for vehicles with keyless entry, catering to the growing demand for convenience and safety features in modern vehicles.
