VEHICLE COMFORT SYSTEM FOR USING AND/OR CONTROLLING VEHICLE FUNCTIONS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vehicle with a comfort system comprising:
- a vehicle control device via which different vehicle systems and/or vehicle functions are controllable;
at least one vehicle communication device for exchanging data via wireless communication; and
an identification module arranged in the vehicle and has an identification code readable in a vicinity of the identification module, the identification code being assigned to a particular installation location of the identification module,wherein the vehicle control device is adapted to set up a communication connection to a mobile device via the vehicle communication device, to receive via the communication connection an identification code read out by the mobile device, and, via the mobile device and the mobile communication connection, to allow or prohibit control or use of individual or all vehicle functions and/or systems selectively depending on the received identification code.

Abstract
Vehicle with a comfort system having: a vehicle controller device, via which different vehicle systems and/or vehicle functions can be controlled; at least one vehicle communication device for exchanging data via wireless communication; a plurality of identification modules arranged in the vehicle that comprise an identification code readable in the vicinity of the identification modules, each identification code being assigned to an installation location of the identification module. The vehicle controller device is designed to set up a communication connection to a mobile device via the vehicle communication device to receive, via the communication connection, an identification code read out by the mobile device and, via the mobile device and the mobile communication connection, to allow or prohibit control or usage of individual or all vehicle functions and/or systems selectively on the basis of the received identification code.

2. A comfort system for a vehicle comprising:
-
a vehicle control device via which different vehicle systems and/or vehicle functions are controllable; at least one wireless vehicle communication device for exchanging data with a mobile device; a plurality of identification modules are arranged in the vehicle that have a readable identification code, which is assigned to a particular installation location of the identification module; and a computer program product having a program code executable in a program-controlled processing unit of a mobile device, which comprises an identification module reader for reading out the identification codes from the identification modules, at least one input device for acquiring user input, at least one output device, and a mobile device communication unit, each of which are controllable via the program-controlled processing unit, wherein the program code controls the identification module reader in order to acquire with it the identification code of one of the identification modules in an acquisition range of the identification module reader, wherein, in the event that an identification code is acquired, a wireless communication connection is set up for exchanging data with the vehicle control device via the mobile device communication unit and the vehicle communication device, and wherein, depending on the acquired identification code and/or the data exchanged via the communication connection different functionalities of the vehicle systems and/or vehicle functions for a user are provided via at least one output device and/or at least one input device.

9. A computer program product for a vehicle-related comfort system, the computer program product comprising:
-
program code executable in a program-controlled processing unit of a mobile device, which comprises an identification module reader for reading out the identification codes from identification modules, at least one input device for acquiring user input, at least one output device, and a mobile device communication unit, each of which are controllable via the program-controlled processing unit, wherein the program code controls the identification module reader in order to acquire with it the identification code of one of the identification modules in an acquisition range of the identification module reader, in the event that an identification code is acquired, to set up a wireless communication connection for exchanging data with a vehicle control device via the mobile device communication unit and a vehicle communication device and depending on the acquired identification code and/or the exchanged data to provide different functionalities of the vehicle systems and/or vehicle functions of the vehicle for a user via the at least one output device and/or the at least one input device.
