Device for controlling a maneuver of a vehicle

Abstract

The device comprises a module adapted to monitor said maneuver as long as a user action is detected on an electronic device (2) and to control the operation of the access system (4).

1 . A device for controlling a maneuver of a vehicle in or out of a park area secured by a remotely controlled access system, said device comprising:
 a module that monitors said maneuver as long as a user action is detected on an electronic device and controls the operation of the access system.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the module controls the operation of the access system by instructing a communication circuit to transmit a wireless instruction to a mechanism for controlling the access system. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the communication circuit establishes a wireless data link with said mechanism and transmits said wireless instruction via said wireless data link. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the communication circuit transmits the wireless instruction by generating a sub GHz radiofrequency signal. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 4 , wherein the vehicle includes a button for sending a given instruction via a bus to the communication circuit, the communication circuit generating said radiofrequency signal upon receiving the given instruction, and wherein the module is also configured to send the given instruction to the communication circuit via the bus. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the module receives data confirming the detection of the user action via a wireless communication established with the electronic device. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the module is embedded in the electronic device and detects the user action via a user interface of the electronic device and controls said maneuver by sending a corresponding instruction to an electronic control unit inside the vehicle. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver is performed by an automatic parking unit controlled by said module. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 8 , wherein the automatic parking unit includes at least one sensor for capturing data related to the vehicle environment, a processing circuit for processing data captured by the sensor and a control circuit for controlling a vehicle motion control mechanism based on the processed data. 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 8 , wherein the automatic parking unit computes an appropriate time to operate the access system. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said module controls a remotely controlled comfort equipment. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said module controls the access system to close after the maneuver is completed.
