Recognizing authorized vehicle user with movement data
The invention relates to a method for authenticating a vehicle user. In the method, movement data of a sensor identification circuit are detected by sensors. The detected movement data are supplied to a self-learning system. The self-learning system ascertains a movement profile based on the supplied movement data and assigns this to a vehicle user. Upon approach of the vehicle by a vehicle user, it is checked whether movement data detected at the point in time of the approach corresponds to a movement profile, which is assigned to a vehicle user authorized to use the vehicle. In the event of a match, the vehicle user approaching the vehicle is authorized to use the vehicle.

receiving a movement profile for the vehicle user, wherein the movement profile comprises fused sensor data from a plurality of different sensor data associated with multiple layers of linked artificial neurons and vectors characterizing movements of the vehicle user;
detecting the vehicle user's approach to a vehicle;
obtaining movement data from the detected user's approach to the vehicle;
determining that the movement data detected corresponds to the received movement profile; and
authorizing at least one function of the vehicle for use by the approaching vehicle user.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining that the movement data corresponds to a movement profile is performed after leaving and/or after approaching the vehicle before opening the vehicle.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fused sensor data comprises sensed data in an immediate vicinity of the vehicle and outside the immediate vicinity.
4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising: detecting a distance and/or position of the vehicle user relative to the vehicle in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle, the detecting being detected by a propagation time measurement between at least one radio component integrated in the vehicle.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the radio components comprise ultra-wideband components (UWB).
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of different sensor data comprises sensor data from at least two of acceleration sensors, gyro sensors, magnetic sensors, and combination thereof.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fused sensor data comprises movement data divided into successive time samples.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the fused sensor data comprises a movement sequence of the vehicle user with respect to a location in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein determining that the movement data detected corresponds to the received movement profile comprises determining that movement data detected at the point in time of the approach correspond to a movement sequence.
