METHOD FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING A SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING MANEUVER(S) OF A VEHICLE USING A CONTROL UNIT
First Claim
1. A method for remotely controlling a system for controlling at least one automatic maneuver of a vehicle via the establishment of two-way wireless communication between a remote control unit and a communication module of said vehicle, the method comprising:
- following an actuation of said unit, said two-way communication being configured to result in an exchange of information, for the purposes of said activated automatic maneuver, between said unit and said communication module, in the course of connection events having a chosen duration, which are repeated periodically in frequency channels differing from one connection event (ECi) to another according to a predetermined hopping protocol, and which may be either successful or failed;
a step (i) in which a first number of failed connection events is determined over a duration corresponding to a chosen main number (NP) of successive connection events in their respective frequency channels, where NP>
2;
a step (ii) in which said first number is compared with a first chosen value; and
a step (iii) in which said activated automatic maneuver is modified in a chosen way if said first number is greater than or equal to said first value.

Abstract
A system (SC) is intended to control a maneuver of a vehicle (V) via the establishment of two-way wireless communication between a communication module (MC1) of the vehicle (V) and a remote control unit (BC), following the actuation of the latter. This system (SC) comprises control means (MCT) designed to determine, over a duration corresponding to a chosen main number NP of successive connection events in their respective frequency channels, where NP>2, a first number of failed connection events, and then to compare this first number with a first chosen value and to modify the activated automatic maneuver in a chosen way if the first number is greater than or equal to this first value.

16. A remote control unit capable of remotely controlling a control system for controlling at least one automatic maneuver of a vehicle via establishment of two-way wireless communication between the unit and a communication module of said vehicle, following the actuation of the unit, said two-way communication being intended to result in an exchange of information, for the purposes of said activated automatic maneuver, between the unit and said communication module, in the course of connection events having a chosen duration, which are repeated periodically in frequency channels differing from one connection event to another according to a predetermined hopping protocol, and which may be either successful or failed, the remote control unit comprising:
control means designed to determine, over a duration corresponding to a chosen main number (NP) of successive connection events in their respective frequency channels, where NP>
2, a first number of failed connection events, then to compare said first number with a first chosen value, and to modify said activated automatic maneuver in a chosen way if said first number is greater than or equal to said first value.
