Abstract

The invention relates to a locking system that is suitable for receiving an individual designation of a key via a wireless interface and, upon receipt of a corresponding key designation, to lock and/or unlock, wherein the key is a mobile communications terminal.

Claims

1. A locking system which is suitable for receiving an individual identifier of a key over a wireless interface and for locking and/or unlocking when a corresponding key identifier is received, characterized in that the key is a cellular terminal.

2. A locking system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the locking system has an identifier generator by means of which an identifier can be generated and transmitted to the cellular terminal when started up for the first time and/or on request.

3. A locking system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wireless interface is a Bluetooth connection, in particular wherein the connection has an individual Bluetooth profile.

4. A locking system as claimed in claim 1, wherein there is a majority of keys and/or a majority of individual identifiers by means of which the locking system can be locked and/or unlocked.

5. A locking system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the identifier of a key can be protected by a personal identification number (PIN).

6. A locking system as claimed in claim 1, wherein it is the locking system of a motor vehicle, especially wherein the engine of the vehicle can be started by means of the cellular terminal.

7. A locking system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the individual identifier of one or more keys as access can be blocked on the side of the locking system.

8. A locking system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the wireless interface is a Bluetooth connection, in particular wherein the connection has an individual Bluetooth profile.

9. A locking system as claimed in claim 2, wherein there is a majority of keys and/or a majority of individual identifiers by means of which the locking system can be locked and/or unlocked.

10. A locking system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the identifier of a key can be protected by a personal identification number (PIN).

11. A locking system as claimed in claim 2, wherein it is the locking system of a motor vehicle, especially wherein the engine of the vehicle can be started by means of the cellular terminal.

12. A locking system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the individual identifier of one or more keys as access can be blocked on the side of the locking system.
