A new keyless entry system, for automotive security and comfort applications, has been developed. The system utilises a single chip transponder for vehicle immobilisation, keyless entry and remote control functionality. The transponder system can be embedded into a key fob or an ISO smart card. System security and communication speed is provided by an advanced anti-collision protocol in combination with sophisticated challenge response and uni-directional protocols. The system can be activated by using either a push-button transponder, where long range access to the vehicle is provided, or by touching an actuator near the door or trunk. Due to the inductive coupling between the transponder and the vehicle mounted antennas, the vehicle door or trunk opens on successful verification as if there were no locks. Additionally, inside the vehicle, the transponder can be used as an immobiliser.

A closure system for automotive security and driver comfort has been developed. The system combines a passive entry system and an electronic door latch system. The passive entry system utilises a single chip transponder for vehicle immobilisation, passive entry and remote control functionality. The form factor free transponder enables the integration into a key fob or a smart card. The system can be activated by either pulling the door handle or by using a push button transponder. Due to the inductive coupling between the transponder and the vehicle mounted antennas, the vehicle door or trunk opens on successful verification as if there were no locks. Additionally, inside the vehicle, the transponder can be used as a far range immobiliser. The electronic door latch system utilises electronically controlled latches.
