Abstract

A method for unlocking at least one vehicle door of a vehicle via a mobile terminal is provided, wherein the vehicle has at least one NFC antenna for receiving NFC signals and a vehicle Bluetooth module for communication via Bluetooth LE, and wherein the mobile terminal has a terminal Bluetooth module for communication via Bluetooth LE and an NFC chip. The at least one NFC antenna is configured to capture data from the NFC chip and then trigger the unlocking. Upon detection of entry of the terminal Bluetooth module into a triggering range of the vehicle Bluetooth module, which is determined at least by the range of a Bluetooth LE signal, this is signaled to the at least one NFC antenna. The at least one NFC antenna then changes from a first mode to a second mode, the first mode being distinguished by a shorter range for capturing the data from the NFC chip than the second mode.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an assistance system (10) for controlling a drive system (2) of a motor vehicle (1) and to a corresponding motor vehicle (1). In the method, it is determined whether an assistance target torque (15) requested by a driving assistance function (9) decelerates more strongly than a specified decelerating offset torque (16) which results as the driver's desired torque (17) without an actuation of an accelerator pedal (7). If this is the case, the driver's desired torque (17) is reduced, at least when the accelerator pedal (7) is being actuated, by the difference between the assistance target torque (15) and the offset torque (16) in order to determine a total target torque (14). The drive system (2) is then actuated in order to set the total target torque (14).

The invention relates to a method and an assistance device for controlling a drive system (2) of a motor vehicle (1), and to a correspondingly configured motor vehicle (1). In the method, when a brake pedal (7) of the motor vehicle (1) is actuated, a difference is determined between a driver-desired braking torque (14), which is composed of a brake pedal torque corresponding to the position of the brake pedal (7) and a predefined offset torque (15), and a decelerating torque (16) requested by a driver assistance system (8) of the motor vehicle (1). If the latter has a weaker decelerating effect, a total decelerating torque (18) to be set in each case is determined according to the difference, and with increasing actuation of the brake pedal (7), by changing over, in a manner increasing with the actuation of the brake pedal (7), from the sum (17) of the requested decelerating torque (16) and the brake pedal torque, which is given when the brake pedal (7) is actuated, to only the driver-desired braking torque (14).

A method for operating a display system for smart glasses in a vehicle includes determining at least one environment region that is intended to be blurred at a position relative to an environment coordinate system or a vehicle coordinate system. Object information is generated for transmission to the smart glasses. The object information defines a display object as a blur object of the determined at least one environment region and defines the position of the at least one blurred environment region in order to superimpose the display object on the at least one environment region to be blurred within the perception region of the wearer of the smart glasses.

Abstract

An image generator for use in a vehicle comprises an image generating surface in which a respective desired display content is to be generated as a real image. The image generating surface is arranged opposite to the vehicle window so that the display content is reflected from the vehicle window directly to the eyes of at least one vehicle occupant. The image generating surface has a curvature at least in one direction. The curvature at least partially counteracts an interfering effect of a concave vehicle window shape on the virtual image such that the display content is displayed as a substantially planar virtual image in the field of view of the at least one vehicle occupant via reflection on the vehicle window.

Abstract

A method for obtaining a quantity of decision points from a backend server to a vehicle during a driving process using the vehicle includes sending a first request message to request a first quantity of decision points from the vehicle to the backend server. The method also includes receiving from the background server the first quantity of decision points using the vehicle, responsive to the first request message. The method further includes determining a traversal of a decision point of the first quantity of decision points using the vehicle. If a decision point from the first quantity of decision points has been traversed, then a second request message is sent to request a second quantity of decision points from the vehicle to the backend server, and the second quantity of decision points is received from the background server using the vehicle, responsive to the second request message.

Abstract

A method for operating a field-of-view display device in a motor vehicle is provided. The field-of-view display device includes a projection apparatus that generates a light beam bundle having desired display content and a partially transparent reflection pane arranged in the field of view of a passenger and is configured and is actuated to insert a virtual image into the field of view of the passenger via reflection of the light beam bundle from the reflection pane to their eyebox. The virtual image is positioned and oriented three-dimensionally so that it lies on a road surface lying in front, and the eyebox is adjustable for adaptation to different poses and sizes of the passenger. The display content during an eyebox adjustment for the time of flight is subjected to a modification which, in addition to mathematically exact tracking of the 3D position and orientation of the virtual image, which is contact-analogous (or oriented on real objects in front of the motor vehicle), includes a predetermined additional change of its position, scaling, stroke thickness, luminosity, and/or another display property, so that it always meets predetermined visibility and recognizability criteria.

Abstract

The invention relates to a driver assistance device for automated manoeuvring, the driver assistance device comprising at least one function for adapting the driving speed of a motor vehicle during travel along a driving trajectory. The driver assistance device is designed to automatically guide the motor vehicle longitudinally along the driving trajectory at a standard speed, and to temporarily reduce the driving speed from the standard speed to a reduced driving speed at a particular intermediate position on the driving trajectory. The driver assistance device is also designed to determine whether an obstacle situation, in which an obstacle is located in or adjacent to the driving corridor ahead of the motor vehicle, follows the particular intermediate position on the driving trajectory, and, if it is determined that an obstacle situation follows the particular intermediate position, to ensure that the motor vehicle, as it continues to travel along the driving trajectory, is guided further towards the obstacle situation, and that the motor vehicle is not re-accelerated to the standard speed.
