System and method for remotely controlling operations of vehicle

A method for searching a vehicle, the vehicle having a base station mounted therein, comprising:

• executing an application in a handheld electronic device to start searching the vehicle;
• detecting an existence of a key by the handheld electronic device;
• establishing a wireless connection with the key by the handheld electronic device;
• checking whether the handheld electronic device and the key are a credential pair by the handheld electronic device;
• sending an instruction by the handheld electronic device to the key to search the vehicle when a result of the checking shows that the handheld electronic device and the key are a credential pair;
• detecting an existence of the base station by the key;
• establishing a wireless connection with the base station by the key;
• checking whether the key and the base station are a credential pair by the key;
• sending the instruction by the key to the base station to search the vehicle when a result of the checking shows that the key and the base station are a credential pair;
• sending position information of the vehicle by the base station to the handheld electronic device via the key after the base station receives the instruction.

A system for identifying a position of a vehicle comprising:

• a handheld electronic device;
• a key in bi-directional wireless communication with the handheld electronic device, the key being configured for controlling operations of the vehicle;
• a base station configured to be mounted in the vehicle, the base station being in bi-directional communication with the key;
• wherein when the handheld electronic device sends out an instruction for searching the vehicle, the key receives the instruction and sends the instruction to the base station, the base station sends position signal to the handheld electrical device via the key after receiving the instruction whereby the handheld electrical device shows a position of the vehicle on a display screen of the handheld electronic device.

A system for identifying a position of a vehicle on a handheld electronic device, comprising:

• a handheld electronic device configured to communicate with a vehicle key in a bi-directional wireless manner;
• wherein, the vehicle key is able to communicate in a bi-directional wireless manner with a base station mountable in a vehicle;
• wherein when the handheld electronic device sends search instructions to the vehicle key to search for the vehicle, the vehicle key sends the search instructions to the base station;
• and
• wherein, when the base station receives the search instructions from the vehicle key, the base station sends a position signal to the vehicle key and the vehicle key forwards the position signal to the handheld electronic device allowing the handheld electronic device to display a position of the vehicle on a display screen of the handheld electronic device.
