Motor vehicle configuration system
First Claim
1. A motor vehicle configuration system, comprising:
- a plurality of target transponders, each attached to a unique corresponding location interior to a motor vehicle and configured to establish respective wireless near-field-communication links over which location identification data unique to each transponder is transmitted, the plurality of target transponders including;
a first target transponder located at a first location inside the motor vehicle, anda second target transponder located at a second location inside the motor vehicle;
a wireless receiving unit configured to wirelessly receive personal settings data over a wireless communication link independent of the respective near-field-communication links;
a portable device including;
a memory configured to store first personal settings data that is specific to the first location, and second personal settings data that is specific to the second location,an initiator transponder configured to establish a first wireless near-field-communication link with the first target transponder in response to the portable device approaching the first target transponder, and a second wireless near-field-communication link with the second target transponder in response to the portable device approaching the second target transponder, anda wireless transmitter configured to transmit the first personal settings data over the wireless communication link in response to the portable device establishing the first near-field-communication link with the first target transponder and to receiving first location identifying information thereover, and to transmit the second personal settings data over the wireless communication link in response to the portable device establishing the second near-field-communication link with the second target transponder and to receiving second location identifying information thereover,wherein each of the plurality of target transponders capable of wireless near-field-communication is assigned a specific display unit of the motor vehicle from a plurality of display units in the motor vehicle, andwherein upon detecting the approach of the portable device to one of the plurality of target transponders multimedia data are transferred from the portable device to the motor vehicle for display on the assigned specific display unit.

Abstract
Motor vehicle configuration system, including a motor vehicle, in the interior of which at least one transponder that is capable of wireless near field communication is attached and which has a receiving unit for wireless reception of vehicle configuration data over a wireless communication link independent of the wireless near field communication. A portable device has at least one data memory for storing the memory data and has a transmitting unit for a wireless transmission of data on the basis of the memory data. The portable device is programmed such that, when an approach of the portable device to a transponder is detected on the basis of wireless near field communication, the data are transferred from the portable device to the motor vehicle a wireless communication link between the transmitting unit and the receiving unit for the purpose of providing the motor vehicle with configuration data. The communication link is independent of the wireless near field communication.
