METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AT LEAST ONE FUNCTION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for controlling at least one function of a motor vehicle with a use module that is positionable at least at one storage location to a device outside the motor vehicle, the use module and the at least one storage location each having a recognition interface, the motor vehicle having a first communication module, and at least one second communication module being provided for the use module and for the at least one storage location, the method comprising:
- making contact between the recognition interface of the use module and the recognition interface of the at least one storage location when the use module is disposed at the at least one storage location;
registering a change of storage location for the use module;
transferring a message with an instruction to perform the at least one function of the motor vehicle from the at least one second communication module for the use module and the at least one storage location to the first communication module of the motor vehicle.

Abstract
A method for controlling a function of a motor vehicle (18) employs a use module (4) at a storage location (6, 8) for a device outside the motor vehicle (18). The use module (4) and the storage location (6, 8) have recognition interfaces (10, 12, 14). The motor vehicle (18) has a first communication module (22), and a second communication module (16) is provided for the use module (4) and for the storage location (6, 8). The recognition interfaces make contact when the use module (4) is at the storage location (6, 8). If a storage location (28, 32) change is registered for the use module (4), a message with an instruction to perform the function of the motor vehicle (18) is transferred from the second communication module (16) for the use module (4) and the storage location (6, 8) to the first communication module (22) of the motor vehicle.

18. A system for controlling at least one function of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a use module and at least one storage location for the use module, the storage location being allocated to a device outside the motor vehicle, and at least two communication modules, the use module and the at least one storage location each having a recognition interface, a first communication module provided for the motor vehicle, and at least one second communication module provided for the use module and for the at least one storage location, the recognition interface of the use module and the recognition interface of the at least one storage location being designed to make contact when the use module disposed at the at least one storage location, wherein, in a case where a change of storage location is to be registered for the use module, a message with an instruction to perform the at least one function of the motor vehicle is transferred from the at least one second communication module for the use module and the at least one storage location to the first communication module of the motor vehicle.
