Emblem for a motor vehicle with a sensor system for monitoring a detection region and an actuation region and method thereto
First Claim
1. A method for operating an emblem for a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- a) monitoring a detection region located outside the motor vehicle,b) triggering a signal for the start of an authentication check between an Id-transmitter and the motor vehicle in the case a user is detected in the detection region,c) monitoring an actuation region which is located outside the motor vehicle and which differs from the detection region, andd) providing an operating signal for the motor vehicle in the case that a user is detected in the actuation region,wherein the motor vehicle comprises an emblem, which comprises an optical sensor system comprising an optical sensor configured for performing said method, andwherein the optical sensor system at least receives or records images at least of the detection region or of the actuation region, wherein the images are pulsed images and non-pulsed images, wherein the pulsed images are created through the reflection of the emitted, pulsed light of the optical sensor system and the non-pulsed images are created through the light of at least the detection region or actuation region, in particular in that for the checking of a distance change the pulsed images are compared with the non-pulsed images.
