Abstract
Provided is a digital key pairing device and method. The digital key pairing device includes: an NFC tagging detection module for detecting that a mobile device is located on a wireless charger and Near Field Communication (NFC) tagging is occurred; an audio device pairing detection module for detecting a pairing of the mobile device with an audio device; a digital key process initiation module for initiating a digital key process when the NFC tagging and the pairing with the audio device have occurred; a user interface display module for displaying a user interface requesting confirmation to register a digital key on an in-vehicle display device; and a digital key registration module for registering the digital key when an registration request is received through the user interface.
Claims12
A digital key pairing device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- detect that a mobile device is located on a wireless charger and NFC tagging is occurred;
- detect a pairing of the mobile device with an audio device;
- initiate a digital key process in response that the NFC tagging and the pairing with the audio device have occurred;
- display a user interface requesting confirmation to register a digital key on an in-vehicle display device;
- and
- register the digital key in response that an registration request is received through the user interface,
- wherein the digital key is paired via the wireless charger, and wherein the NFC tagging is accomplished by bringing the mobile device up to the wireless charger.
A digital key pairing method, comprising:
- detecting that a mobile device is located on a wireless charger and Near Field Communication (NFC) tagging has occurred;
- detecting that a pairing of the mobile device with an audio device has occurred;
- in response that the NFC Tagging and the pairing with the audio device have occurred, initiating a digital key process;
- displaying a user interface requesting confirmation to register a digital key on an in-vehicle display device;
- and
- registering the digital key in response that an registration request is received through the user interface,
- wherein the digital key is paired via the wireless charger, and wherein the NFC tagging is accomplished by bringing the mobile device up to the wireless charger.
