Method for authenticating a driver in a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for authentication of a driver in a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting actual data of the driver with a mobile and/or retrofittable recognition device arranged within the motor vehicle;
transmitting the actual data to a reviewing device assembled in an external station outside the motor vehicle during the authentication;
comparing, using the reviewing device, the actual data with target data;
with a conformity of the actual data with the target data, sending an enabling signal from the external station to the motor vehicle; and
receiving the enabling signal at the motor vehicle, wherein, as a result of receiving the enabling signal, an ignition process of the motor vehicle is enabled for the driver,wherein the motor vehicle comprises a second reviewing device, which receives the target data of the external station and, with a conformity of the actual data with the target data, the second reviewing device sends a second enabling signal to the motor vehicle to enable the ignition process of the motor vehicle; and
wherein the motor vehicle comprises a control, which initiates the authentication starting from at least one defined action of the driver, wherein the defined action of the driver is selected from the group consisting of activation of a turning signal, touching a steering wheel at a defined position, occupation of a sitting position on a front seat in the motor vehicle, activation of a button, and activation of a horn.

19. A system for authentication of a driver in a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a mobile and/or retrofittable recognition device; a reviewing device; and a second reviewing device, wherein the motor vehicle comprises the mobile and/or retrofittable recognition device arranged within the motor vehicle for detection of actual data of the driver, wherein the actual data are sent to the reviewing device, which is assembled in an external station outside the motor vehicle during the authentication, wherein the reviewing device compares the actual data with the target data and, with a conformity of the actual data with the target data, an enabling signal is sent from the external station to the motor vehicle, wherein the enabling signal is received at the motor vehicle, and as a result of receiving the enabling signal, an ignition process of the motor vehicle is enabled for the driver, and wherein the motor vehicle comprises the second reviewing device, which receives the target data of the external station and, with a conformity of the actual data with the target data, the second reviewing device sends a second enabling signal to the motor vehicle to enable the ignition process of the motor vehicle; and wherein the motor vehicle comprises a control, which initiates the authentication starting from at least one defined action of the driver, wherein the defined action of the driver is selected from the group consisting of activation of a turning signal, touching a steering wheel at a defined position, occupation of a sitting position on a front seat in the motor vehicle, activation of a button, and activation of a horn. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
