System and method for the access to information contained in motor vehicles
First Claim
1. System for the access to information contained in motor vehicles, comprising:
- a control unit (206) configured for;
capturing determined vehicle information (100) coming from at least one electronic component thereof once an information request signal (120) has been received;
generating a data message from said information;
an optical transmitter (216) controlled by the control unit (206) and configured for the transmission of said data message (122) by means of visible optical communication using at least one light (104) of the vehicle; and
a communications terminal (102) external to the vehicle (100) and with an optical receiver (106) for the capturing of the data message transmitted by at least one light (104) of the vehicle, wherein the communications terminal (102) comprises a wireless emitter (108) for sending the information request signal (120) and a presence sensor, the wireless emitter (108) being configured to carry out the sending of the information request signal (120) when said presence sensor detects the presence of the vehicle (100).

Abstract
System and method for the access to information contained in motor vehicles. The system comprises: —a control unit (206) configured for: •capturing determined information of the vehicle (100) coming from some electronic component, preferable from the ECU (214); •generating a data message from said information—an optical transmitter (216) for the transmission of said data message (122) by means of visible optical communication through some light (104) of the vehicle. The information is captured by a communications terminal (102) by means of an optical receiver (106) and is sent to an analysis terminal (114) for its processing, being able to be employed for the control of access or diagnostic of the vehicle, among other applications.

8. Method for the access to information contained in motor vehicles, comprising:
-
capturing determined information of the vehicle (100) coming from at least one electronic component thereof once an information request signal (120) is received; generating a data message from said information; transmitting said data message (122) by means of visible optical communication through at least one light (104) of the vehicle wherein the information request signal (120) is sent by a wireless emitter (108) external to the vehicle and is received by a wireless receiver (110) installed in the vehicle (100), and wherein the method further comprises detecting the presence of the vehicle by means of a presence sensor, and wherein the information request signal (120) is subsequently sent to the detection of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
