Mobile access system for granting access to a device

A method for granting access to a device using a mobile access system, the method comprising:

• receiving sensor data from a sensor unit of the mobile access system, the sensor unit comprising a gyroscopic sensor for recognizing a movement of the mobile access system in space;
• recognizing, based on the received sensor data, a sequence of movements of the mobile access system in space;
• determining whether the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with a predefined first sequence of movements;
• and
• unblocking the mobile access system when the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with the predefined first sequence of movements,
• wherein the transmission of an unlock signal to the device is only enabled in the unblocked state of the mobile access system.

A system for controlling access to a secured area, the system comprising:

• a transmitter unit for wirelessly transmitting an access signal to the secured area for granting access;
• a sensor unit for detecting a movement of the system;
• and
• a control unit connected to the sensor unit, the control unit being configured to:
• receive data from the sensor unit;
• recognize, based on the received data, a movement pattern of the system;
• determine whether the recognized movement pattern matches a predefined movement pattern;
• and
• transition the system to an enabled state when the recognized movement pattern matches the predefined movement pattern,
• wherein the transmission of the access signal to the secured area is only enabled in the enabled state of the system.
