Abstract
The invention relates to a method for authenticating a driver (2) in a motor vehicle (1) by means of a recognition device (10) disposed in the motor vehicle (1) for collecting actual data (50) of the driver (2) which are transmitted during the authentication to a checking device (20) disposed in an external station (3) outside the motor vehicle (1), wherein the checking device (20) compares the actual data (50) with the target data (60) and in the event of conformity of the actual data (50) with the target data (60) an enabling signal (70) is sent from the external station (3) to the motor vehicle (1), thus enabling the driver (2) to start the motor vehicle (1).

Method for authenticating a driver in a motor vehicle, the method using a recognition device assembled in the motor vehicle for the recognition of actual data of the driver which are transmitted to a reviewing device during the authentication, a checking device being assembled in an external station outside the motor vehicle, wherein
- a) the checking device compares the actual data with target data, the target data having been read into the external station previous to the authentication, there being additional information stored in the external station, the additional information being time frame information, and, upon matching of the actual data with the target data and with the additional information, transmits an enabling signal from the external station to the motor vehicle, whereby an ignition procedure is enabled for the driver, and b) the recognition device is a cell phone which can communicate with the reviewing device via an own communication means.
System for authentication of a driver in a motor vehicle the system comprising a recognition device, a checking device and an external station, the recognition device being assembled within the motor vehicle for recognizing actual data of the driver, which are transmitted to said checking device during the authentication, the checking device being assembled in the external station outside the motor vehicle, wherein
- the checking device compares the actual data with target data and with additional information, the additional information including time frame information, and transmits an enabling signal from the external station to the motor vehicle with the matching of the actual data with the target data, whereby an ignition procedure of the motor vehicle is enabled for the driver;
- and
- the recognition device is a cell phone which can communicate with the reviewing device via an own communication means;
- and
- the actual data is from one member of the group consisting of a credit card, an electronic cash (EC), a passport, an identification card and a driver's license.
