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.

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 remote start system and method for a work machine wherein the system comprises a communication device, an engine starter subsystem, a fluid pressure sensor, and a controller. In a first step, controller receives a wake signal from the communication device, The controller then confirms the lock status of a safety lock on the work machine and outputs an engine start signal to the engine starter subsystem upon confirming the lock status. The controller then receives a fluid pressure signal from the fluid pressure sensor, and outputs an engine stop signal if the fluid pressure signal is below a predetermined threshold after a specified timeframe.

Antenna having a housing (3), a core (1) and a coil (2), which is wound around the core (1), the core (1) with the coil (2) in a potting compound (5) being mounted in the housing (3), the potting compound (5) being softer than 40 Shore A.

A remote parking system performs remote parking in which a vehicle is moved from a current position and parked by remote parking. In the remote parking system, a remote controller can be carried outside the vehicle, issues an instruction for remote parking by being operated by an operator, and includes a display screen that displays a state of remote parking. An imaging apparatus captures a peripheral image of the vehicle. A control unit inputs imaging data from the imaging apparatus, and includes an image generating unit that generates an image to be displayed on the display screen based on the imaging data. The image generating unit generates, as a remote parking image, an image in a direction along a line of sight in which a vehicle direction is viewed from the operator. The image includes a blind spot position positioned on a side opposite the operator relative to the vehicle.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus, method and system for use with a vehicle having passive keyless entry and start (PKES) system including a vehicle unit and a key fob storage unit. The vehicle unit is to be installed with the vehicle having a first transceiver, a first relay transceiver an authentication unit, a first controller for controlling said first relay transceiver allowing said transmission if said user is authenticated. The key fob storage unit comprises at least one housing for securely holding at least one key fob associated with said PKES systems of said vehicles, a second, said second wireless relay w wherein said first relay transceiver and said second relay transceiver allows said PKES system and said key fob to communicate from a distance larger than a range of said PKES system signals.

An access arrangement for a vehicle comprises a vehicle transmission/reception device configured to transmit multiple interrogation signals to a mobile identification transmitter, receive corresponding response signals from the mobile identification transmitter in response to the transmitted interrogation signals, and determine a respective time interval that elapsed between the transmission of an interrogation signal and the reception of a corresponding response signal. Furthermore, the access arrangement comprises a vehicle control device configured to output a different control command based on a change in the specific time intervals for two transmitted interrogation signals. The interrogation signals and response signals are in accordance with the UWB standard. Based on the evaluation of the time-of-flight differences of two interrogation signals, it is possible to detect when the mobile identification transmitter changes location or remains at one location, and accordingly to output a different and appropriate control command by the vehicle control device.

A method and an apparatus for synchronizing information, and a storage medium. The method includes acquiring, in response to determining that a digital key name has been changed by a vehicle-side device, a first name of a digital key changed by the vehicle-side device; and changing a digital key name displayed on the terminal device to the first name.

In a case where a non-history position start for starting an engine based on a remote operation at a position at which a position of a vehicle is different from a start history position having a start history of the engine is executed, a limitation condition for limiting an engine start is tightened as compared to a case where a history position start for starting the engine based on the remote operation at the start history position is executed. That is, in a case where the non-history position start is executed, it is difficult to start the engine. As a result, it is possible to take more appropriate measures when the engine is started based on the remote operation.

A smart key system of a vehicle that notifies a user that a fob battery needs to be replaced, including a fob configured to transmit information that the battery needs to be replaced to an in-vehicle communication module configured to transmit the information to an identification authentication unit (IAU); and the IAU configured to transmit the information to an integrated body unit (IBU) configured to notify a user of the information. A smart key system includes: a fob configured to transmit failure information to a BLE module when UWB communication fails due to battery voltage drop; the BLE module configured to receive the failure information, and measure a distance for positioning the fob using a BLE signal; and an IBU configured to transmit an operation signal to a controller configured to control at least one function among vehicle door opening and closing, vehicle start, remote parking, and vehicle door locking.
