Abstract
A motor vehicle has at least two transceivers, each of which is configured for wireless communication with a mobile device. A method for establishing a wireless communication connection between a motor vehicle and the mobile device includes steps of receiving, by the transceivers, a signal emitted by the mobile device; determining signal strengths of the received signal at the transceivers; selecting one of the transceivers based on the signal strengths; and establishing of a wireless communication connection between the mobile device and the selected transceiver.
Claims13
A method for establishing a wireless communication connection between a motor vehicle and a mobile device, wherein the motor vehicle has at least two transceivers, each of which is set up for wireless communication with the mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the transceivers, a signal emitted by the mobile device;
- determining signal strengths of the received signal at the transceivers;
- selecting one of the transceivers based on the signal strengths;
- and
- establishing a wireless communication connection between the mobile device and the selected transceiver.
A control apparatus for use on board a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle has at least two transceivers, each of which is set up for wireless communication with a mobile device, the control apparatus comprising:
- a processing device configured to control the transceivers;
- wherein the processing device is configured to receive, via the transceivers, a signal emitted by the mobile device to
- determine signal strengths of the received signal at the transceivers;
- select one of the transceivers based on the signal strengths;
- and
- establish a wireless communication connection between the mobile device and the selected transceiver.
