An illustrative example method of operating a capacitive vehicle entry control device includes: determining a plurality of capacitance values of the vehicle entry control device during a measurement period; determining an average capacitance of the plurality of capacitance values; determining whether the determined average capacitance exceeds an average threshold; determining a range of the plurality of capacitance values; determining whether the determined range exceeds a range threshold; and initiating a vehicle entry process when the determined average capacitance exceeds the average threshold or when the determined range exceeds the range threshold.

A content storage system integrates with locking, engine, and other control systems in a vehicle. The system includes a portable storage device comprising a processor, a storage module in electronic communication with the processor, and a wireless communication module. A wireless device is in electronic communication with the wireless communication module of the portable storage device. A transponder is installed in a vehicle configured to transmit a signal on a wire. The wireless device detects the signal on the wire from the transponder and stores the signal. The wireless device is transmits the signal on the wire in response to a command from the portable storage device.

A system for providing dynamic access to a vehicle via a plurality of devices. A device and/or a server of an authentication network stored fob data relating to one or more key fobs linked to the vehicle, and device data that includes data relating to one or more devices linked to the key fob that are authorized to access the vehicle. The vehicle receives an access request indicating that a new device is requesting access to the vehicle, whereupon a challenge may be transmitted to one or more of the authorized devices. The one or more devices may respond, granting access to vehicle functions. The vehicle and/or authentication network generate a secure fob key and access limitations based on the response and transmit the secure fob key to the new device. Profile templates may be used to set and control vehicle access and functions.

A sensor is configured to receive connection information from a portable device via a communication gateway in a vehicle and to communicate with a portable device using impulse radio (IR) ultra-wide band (UWB) communication based on the connection information. A location of the portable device is determined based on ranging using IR UWB communication.

An access system for a vehicle includes a receiver and an access module. The receiver is configured to receive a signal transmitted from a portable access device to the vehicle. The access module is configured to: generate a differentiated signal based on the received signal; up-sample the differentiated signal to generate a first up-sampled signal; obtain or generate an expected signal; up-sample the expected signal to generate a second up-sampled signal; cross-correlate the first up-sampled signal and the second up-sampled signal to generate a cross-correlation signal; based on the cross-correlation signal, determine a phase difference between the first up-sampled signal and the second up-sampled signal; determine a round trip time of the signal received by the receiver; and permit access to the vehicle based on the round trip time.

A system and method of deploying an ignition interlock system. The method comprises identifying a wearable transdermal device in response to initiating wireless communication between a controller device of a vehicle system and the wearable transdermal device; receiving a transdermal alcohol measurement transmitted from the wearable transdermal device; and generating, in accordance with the transdermal alcohol measurement being above a predetermined intoxication threshold, a vehicle ignition lockout state of the vehicle system.
