Abstract
The configuration of a wireless communication link between a mobile device and a vehicle including authentication of the mobile device, automatic adjustment of a configuration of the mobile device for the wireless communication link on the basis of the authentication, and automatic adjustment of a configuration of the vehicle.
Claims19
A method for setting up a wireless communication link between a mobile communication device and a specific transportation vehicle, the method comprising:
- authentication of the mobile communication device to determine whether the mobile communication device is pre-authorized to set up wireless communication with the specific transportation vehicle;
- automatic adjustment of a configuration of the mobile communication device for the wireless communication link in response to and based on the mobile communication device authentication determining that the mobile communication device is pre-authorized to set up wireless communication with the specific transportation vehicle;
- automatic adjustment of a configuration of the transportation vehicle for the wireless communication link in response to and based on the mobile communication device authentication determining that the mobile communication device is pre-authorized to set up wireless communication with the specific transportation vehicle;
- informing an external server by the transportation vehicle, via a further wireless communication link, that the configuration of the pre-authorized mobile communication device requires adjustment for the wireless communication link;
- and
- the external server contacts the pre-authorized mobile communication device, via yet a further wireless communication link, to perform adjustment of the configuration of the pre-authorized mobile communication device automatically for the wireless communication link between the mobile communication device and the transportation vehicle.
3 more elements
A transportation vehicle comprising:
- a controller;
- and
- communication means for wireless communication with a mobile communication device,
- wherein the vehicle controller is configured to receive a radio signal from the mobile communication device, and based on the received radio signal, authenticate whether the mobile communication device is pre-authorized to set up wireless communication with the transportation vehicle,
- wherein the vehicle controller is configured to control locking of the transportation vehicle based on the received radio signal, and
- wherein the vehicle controller is configured to automatically configure the communication means to establish a wireless communication link to the mobile communication device in response to and based on authentication of the mobile communication device determining that the mobile communication device is pre-authorized to set up wireless communication with the transportation vehicle,
- wherein an external server is informed by the transportation vehicle, via a further wireless communication link, that the configuration of the mobile communication device requires adjustment, and wherein the mobile communication device is contacted by the server, via yet a further wireless communication link, to perform adjustment of the configuration of the mobile communication device automatically for the wireless communication link between the mobile communication device and the transportation vehicle.
4 more elements
A mobile communication device comprising:
- a controller;
- and
- communication means for wireless communication,
- wherein the communication means capture a radio signal from a transportation vehicle,
- wherein the controller uses the captured radio signal as a basis for sending a further radio signal for unlocking the transportation vehicle to the transportation vehicle, wherein the controller configures the communication means for a wireless communication link to the transportation vehicle in response to determining that the mobile communication device is pre-authorized to set up wireless communication with the transportation vehicle,
- wherein an external server is informed by the transportation vehicle, via a further wireless communication link, that the configuration of the mobile communication device needs to be adjusted, and
- wherein the mobile communication device is contacted by the server, via yet a further wireless communication link, to perform adjustment of the configuration of the mobile communication device automatically for the wireless communication link between the mobile communication device and the transportation vehicle.
