Abstract
A method for managing the unlocking mode of an object. The object includes a communication interface for communicating with a device for transmitting electromagnetic signals when the object is located in the field of electromagnetic coverage formed by the signals transmitted from the device, and when the object is located in the region of coverage associated with the field of electromagnetic coverage, the method includes selecting a first unlocking mode associated with the region of coverage associated with the field of electromagnetic coverage.
Claims8
A method comprising:
- managing an unlocking mode of an object by a management entity, said object comprising a communication interface for communicating with a transmitting device for transmitting electromagnetic signals when the object is located in the field of electromagnetic coverage formed by the signals transmitted from the transmitting device, the managing comprising:
- in response to the object being located in the region of coverage associated with the field of electromagnetic coverage, selecting a first unlocking mode associated with the region of coverage associated with the field of electromagnetic coverage;
- detecting that the object exited the region associated with the field of coverage;
- waiting a delay time following the detection of the exit;
- and
- activating a second unlocking mode instead of the first unlocking mode after verifying at an end of the delay time that the object remains out of range of the region of coverage following the detection of the exit.
An entity for managing an unlocking mode of an object, said object comprising a communication interface for communicating with a transmitting device for transmitting electromagnetic signals when the object is located in the field of electromagnetic coverage formed by the signals transmitted from the transmitting device, wherein the entity comprises:
- a processor configured to:
- in response to the object being located in the region of coverage associated with the field of electromagnetic coverage, select a first unlocking mode associated with the region of coverage associated with the field of electromagnetic coverage;
- detect that the object exited the region associated with the field of coverage;
- wait a delay time following the detection of the exit;
- and
- activate a second unlocking mode instead of the first unlocking mode after verifying at an end of the delay time that the object remains out of range of the region of coverage following the detection of the exit.
A non-transitory computer readable data medium on which has been stored at least one series of program code instructions for executing a method for managing an unlocking mode of an object when the instructions are executed by a processor of a managing entity, said object comprising a communication interface for communicating with a transmitting device for transmitting electromagnetic signals when the object is located in the field of electromagnetic coverage formed by the signals transmitted from the transmitting device, and wherein the method comprises:
- in response to the object being located in the region of coverage associated with the field of electromagnetic coverage, selecting a first unlocking mode associated with the region of coverage associated with the field of electromagnetic coverage
- detecting that the object exited the region associated with the field of coverage;
- waiting a delay time following the detection of the exit;
- and
- activating a second unlocking mode instead of the first unlocking mode after verifying at an end of the delay time that the object remains out of range of the region of coverage following the detection of the exit.
