First Claim
1. A security configuration in or for a vehicle having a bodywork part and a window pane disposed in the bodywork part, the security configuration comprising:
- a touch-sensitive keypad disposed in or mounted on the window pane, said keypad including a plurality of touch sensors each in the form of a resonant oscillating circuit and capable of acquiring an actuation of a respective said touch sensor; and
an electronic evaluation system configured and disposed to detect an actuation of said keypad and to attribute each actuation to a respectively actuated said touch sensor, said electronic evaluation system including at least one coil element;
at least one of said touch sensors including a passive coil region inductively coupled to said coil element at least when said one of said touch sensors is actuated; and
said one of said touch sensors being unpowered.

Abstract
A security configuration in or for a motor vehicle, which includes a bodywork part, such as a door, and a window pane arranged in the bodywork part. The security configuration includes a touch-sensitive keypad integrated in or mounted to the window pane. The keypad has a plurality of touch sensors, each of which takes the form of resonant oscillating circuits and via which an actuation of a respective touch sensor can be picked up. An electronic evaluation system is configured for the purpose of detecting an actuation of the keypad and attributing said actuation to a respectively actuated touch sensor. There is also provided a motor vehicle which includes such a security configuration.
