    Abstract: A universal garage door opener (UGDO) system for a vehicle is disclosed. The UGDO system includes one or more transceivers configured to transmit and receive UGDO data via one or more antennas, a microcontroller operable to control the one or more transceivers to implement UGDO functionality, and a vehicle interface configured to exchange signals between the microcontroller and at least one vehicle subsystem of the vehicle, wherein at least the one or more antennas, the microcontroller, and the vehicle interface are embedded into and integrated with connected vehicle communication port positioned in proximity to a roof of the vehicle.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (METH) for assisting in determining the position of an identifier (I) for accessing and starting a vehicle (V), relative to the vehicle (V), comprising: transmission (Em_TSvp), from a first device, either the vehicle (V) or the identifier (I) to a second device, different from the first, either the vehicle (V) or the identifier (I), at a transmission time t0, of an initial train (TSvp) of N sinusoidal signals, having identical amplitudes and respective frequencies fp, pϵ[1;N], for any p between 1 and N−1; reception (Rec_TSvp′) by the second device of an image train (TSvp′) corresponding to the initial train (TSvp, TSip) altered by the transmission (Em_TSvp); construction (Cons_Spv) of a frequency spectrum (Spv) for the image train (TSvp′); inverse Fourier transformation (TFI_Spv) of the spectrum (Spv), allowing a time signature (Sgv) to be obtained; first integration (Int1_Sgv) of the time signature (Sgv), between the transmission time t0 and a pre-determined intermediate time tint, producing a first result (Rlt1); second integration (Int2_Sg v) of the time signature (Sgv) between the intermediate time tint and a pre-determined end time tf, producing a second result (Rlt2); comparison (Comp_1/2) of a ratio (R) of the first result (Rlt1) to the second result (Rlt2) with a threshold value (S), so that it is possible to determine if the identifier (I) is positioned inside the vehicle (V).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for securing a manoeuvre of a motor vehicle, according to which an order for activation of first data is sent to a mobile terminal by a control unit of the motor vehicle, the first data is displayed on the screen of said mobile terminal in an area opposite the antenna area so as to induce the implementation of a continuous movement by a user on the screen of said mobile terminal in said opposite area, second data relating to the implementation of said continuous movement by the user is generated by the mobile terminal, said second data is compared with an expected result, and if the comparison is positive, said manoeuvre is executed by the control unit.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (METH) for measuring a distance R between a vehicle (V) and an identifier (I) for accessing and starting the vehicle (V), the vehicle (V) and the identifier (I) being synchronised. The method (METH) comprises N Sqp, p∈[1;N] sequences, where N is a natural number at least higher than 3, each Sqp sequence comprising the following steps: —transmitting (Em_Svp) a first signal (Svp) of frequency fp from an emitter (TXv) of the vehicle (V) to a receiver (Rxi) of the identifier (I); —measuring (Mes—vip) with a calculator (Xi) of the identifier a phase vip, modulo 2π, of the first signal (Svp) received, relative to a second signal (Sip) of phase iP(t)=0ip+2πfpt; —transmitting (Em_Sip) the second signal (Sip) from an emitter (TXi) of the identifier (I) to a receiver (RXv) of the vehicle (V); —calculating (Mes—ivp) with a calculator (Xv) of the vehicle (V) a phase ivp, modulo 2π, of the second signal (Sip) received, relative to the first signal (Svp), —calculating (Cal—p) the average p of the phase vip and of the phase ivp; the method (METH) further comprising: —for each p between 1 and N−1, calculating (Cal_Pp) a ramp Pp using the formula Pp=(p+1−p)/(fp+1−fp); —filtering (Fil_Pp) N−1 values of the calculated ramps Pp in order to determine an optimum ramp P; —calculating (Cal_R) distance R from the optimum ramp P.
