Mobile access system for granting access to a device

1 . A mobile access system for granting access to a device, the mobile access system comprising:

a transmitter unit for wirelessly transmitting an unlock signal to the device for unlocking the device;

a sensor unit comprising a gyroscopic sensor for recognizing a movement of the mobile access system in space; and

a control unit connected to the sensor unit, the mobile access system having a blocked state and an unblocked state, wherein transmission of the unlock signal to the device is disabled in the blocked state and enabled in the unblocked state, the control unit being configured to:

receive sensor data from the sensor unit;

recognize, based on the sensor data received from the gyroscopic sensor, a sequence of movements of the mobile access system in space;

determine whether the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with a predefined first sequence of movements; and

place the mobile access system into the unblocked state when the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with the predefined first sequence of movements.

2 . The mobile access system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile access system is a vehicle key for granting access to a vehicle and/or a unit associated with the vehicle.

3 . The mobile access system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to:

determine whether the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with a predefined second sequence of movements; and

block the mobile access system when the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with the predefined second sequence of movements,

wherein the transmission of an unlock signal to the device is disabled in the blocked state of the mobile access system.

4 . The mobile access system of claim 3 , wherein the second sequence of movements differs from the first sequence of movements.

5 . The mobile access system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitter unit is only activated in the unblocked state of the mobile access system.

6 . The mobile access system of claim 1 , further comprising an indication element for outputting an unblock confirmation to the user, wherein the control unit is configured to

activate the indication element to output the unblock confirmation to the user when the mobile access system has been unblocked.

7 . The mobile access system of claim 6 , wherein the indication element comprises a light source, the light source emitting a light signal as the unblock confirmation based on the activation by the control unit.

8 . The mobile access system of claim 1 , further comprising an input unit for receiving a user input, wherein the control unit is configured to:

recognize whether the input unit receives a predefined first user input; and

unblock the mobile access system when the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with the predefined first sequence of movements and when the predefined first user input was recognized.

9 . The mobile access system of claim 1 , wherein the first sequence of movements comprises a personalized sequence of movements.

10 . A method for granting access to a device using a mobile access system, the method comprising:

receiving sensor data from a sensor unit of the mobile access system, the sensor unit comprising a gyroscopic sensor for recognizing a movement of the mobile access system in space;

recognizing, based on the sensor data received from the gyroscopic sensor, a sequence of movements of the mobile access system in space;

determining whether the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with a predefined first sequence of movements; and

placing the mobile access system into an unblocked state when the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with the predefined first sequence of movements,

wherein the mobile access system has a blocked state and the unblocked state, and wherein transmission of an unlock signal to the device is disabled in the blocked state and enabled in the unblocked state.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the mobile access system is a vehicle key for granting access to a vehicle and/or a unit associated with the vehicle.

12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining whether the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with a predefined second sequence of movements; and

blocking the mobile access system when the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with the predefined second sequence of movements,

wherein the transmission of an unlock signal to the device is disabled in the blocked state of the mobile access system.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the second sequence of movements differs from the first sequence of movements.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the transmitter unit of the mobile access system is only activated in the unblocked state of the mobile access system.

15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising activating an indication element to output an unblock confirmation to the user when the mobile access system has been unblocked.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the indication element comprises a light source, the light source emitting a light signal as the unblock confirmation based on the activation by the control unit.

17 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining whether an input unit of the mobile access system receives a predefined first user input; and

unblocking the mobile access system when the recognized sequence of movements is consistent with the predefined first sequence of movements and when the predefined first user input was recognized.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first sequence of movements comprises a personalized sequence of movements.

19 . A system for controlling access to a secured area, the system comprising:

a transmitter unit for wirelessly transmitting an access signal to the secured area for granting access;

a sensor unit comprising a gyroscopic sensor for detecting a movement of the system; and

a control unit connected to the sensor unit, wherein the system has a blocked state and an unblocked state, and wherein transmission of the access signal to the secured area is disabled in the blocked state and enabled in the unblocked state, the control unit being configured to:

receive data from the sensor unit;

recognize, based on the sensor data received from the gyroscopic sensor, a movement pattern of the system;

determine whether the recognized movement pattern matches a predefined movement pattern; and

transition the system to the unblocked state when the recognized movement pattern matches the predefined movement pattern.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the sensor unit comprises at least one of a gyroscopic sensor or an accelerometer for detecting the movement of the system in three-dimensional space.
