Abstract

A method of unlocking a vehicle door, including generating a dynamic password based on dynamic information by a vehicle chip, then generating a reference key based on the dynamic password, and storing the reference key in a storage medium; updating the dynamic password stored in a server, and according to the request of the mobile device, providing the dynamic password to the mobile device through the server, and the mobile device generating a mobile key according to the dynamic password. Finally, the reference key and the mobile key are compared, and if the dynamic passwords corresponding to the reference key and the mobile key are the same, the vehicle door corresponding to the vehicle chip is unlocked by the vehicle chip.

Claims (17)

1. A method of unlocking a vehicle door, the method comprising:

generating a dynamic password based on a dynamic information by a vehicle chip, and generating a reference key based on the dynamic password;

storing the reference key in a storage medium;

uploading the dynamic password to a server for storing the dynamic password in the server;

providing the dynamic password to a mobile device through the server according to a request of the mobile device;

generating a mobile key by the mobile device according to the dynamic password;

comparing the reference key and the mobile key; and

unlocking the vehicle door by the vehicle chip when the dynamic passwords corresponding to the reference key and the mobile key are the same.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic information includes a communication status of the vehicle chip.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the communication status includes a signal transmitting power and a signal receiving power of the vehicle chip.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic information includes a base station identification code of a base station to which the vehicle chip is connected.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic information includes a time value obtained by the vehicle chip.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the vehicle chip obtains the time value through a connection with a satellite.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic information includes an average vehicle speed of the vehicle in a predetermined time period obtained by the vehicle chip.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic password stored in the server is periodically updated by the vehicle at a predetermined frequency.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic password stored in the server is updated by the vehicle chip when the vehicle is parked.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile key is transmitted by the mobile device to the vehicle chip through a near field communication (NFC) interface.
