Keyless access control device
First Claim
1. A device for controlling keyless access to a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a transceiver to be carried by a user;
tripping means;
a transmitting unit disposed in a motor vehicle and being associated with said tripping means for broadcasting a challenge code signal when said tripping means are actuated;
a distance detecting device for measuring a distance between said transceiver and the motor vehicle, said distance detecting device outputting a detecting signal independent of the challenge code signal and outputting a distance signal;
said transceiver having a receiver for receiving the challenge code signal, and said transceiver having a transmitter for broadcasting a response code signal only whenever the distance signal states that the motor vehicle is located in the immediate vicinity of said transceiver;
an unlocking unit; and
a receiving unit disposed in the motor vehicle for receiving the response code signal from said transceiver and furnishing an unlocking signal to said unlocking unit if the response code signal matches a predetermined code signal.

Abstract
A device for controlling keyless access to a motor vehicle includes a transceiver to be carried by a user. A distance detecting device measures a distance between the transceiver and a motor vehicle. A transmitting unit being disposed in the motor vehicle and being associated with a tripping device broadcasts a question code signal when the tripping device is actuated. The transceiver has a receiver for receiving the question code signal, and the transceiver has a transmitter for broadcasting an answer code signal only whenever the motor vehicle is located in the immediate vicinity of the transceiver. A receiving unit disposed in the motor vehicle receives the answer code signal from the transceiver and furnishes an unlocking signal to an unlocking unit if the answer code signal matches a set-point code signal.
