Method and system for detecting a relative position of a mobile terminal device with respect to a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for detecting a relative position of a mobile terminal device with respect to a vehicle, comprising the following steps:
- generating reference measurement values which relate to a predefined relative position of a calibration device with respect to a calibration vehicle;
generating position measurement values which relate to the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle;
evaluating the reference measurement values and the position measurement values for detecting the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle; and
storing the generated reference measurement values in a database, wherein the database is a database outside the vehicle which the vehicle may access by means of a communication connection.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of detecting a relative position of a mobile terminal device with respect to a vehicle.
It is provided for the method to include the following steps: generating reference measurement values relating to a predefined relative position of a calibration device with respect to a calibration vehicle, generating position measurement values which relate to the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle, evaluating the reference measurement values and the position measurement values for detecting the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle, and storing the generated reference measurement values in a database, wherein the database is a database outside the vehicle which the vehicle may access by means of a communication connection.
The invention is based on the object to provide a possibility to minimize deviations in the detection of the relative positions of different mobile terminal devices with respect to a vehicle.

13. A system for detecting a relative position of a mobile terminal device with respect to a vehicle, comprising:
-
a mobile terminal device; and a vehicle comprising an evaluation device, wherein the system is configured to detect a relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle, the system being configured to; generate reference measurement values which relate to a predefined relative position of a calibration device with respect to a calibration vehicle; generate position measurement values which relate to the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle; evaluate the reference measurement values and the position measurement values for detection of the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle; and store the generated reference measurement values in a database, wherein the database is a database outside the vehicle which the vehicle may access by means of a communication connection.
