Intelligent wireless access system and method for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for tracking a target and estimating distance, a position, or direction of the target to a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a beacon packet from the target;
determining signal strength information for the beacon packet;
transmitting a message comprising the signal strength information and the beacon packet for the target;
estimating based on received message, at least one of distance, position, or direction of the target to the vehicle; and
controlling an access entry device of the vehicle by either granting access to the vehicle user when the vehicle user is within a range of authorization or denying access to the vehicle user when the vehicle user is outside a range of authorization.

Abstract
An intelligent wireless access system for a vehicle comprises a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program for tracking a target and estimating distance, a position, or direction of the target to a vehicle. The computer program comprises a routine of set instructions for causing the machine to perform receiving a beacon packet from the target, determining signal strength information for the beacon packet, transmitting a message comprising the signal strength information and the beacon packet for the target, and estimating based on received message, at least one of distance, position, or direction of the target to the vehicle.
