Control device for locking systems in motor vehicles

Abstract

Abstract The control device for locking systems in motor vehicles contains a portable optical signal generator (24A, 24B) and a plurality of optical signal receivers (12, 14, 16, 18) attached to the outside of the motor vehicle (10). Each optical signal receiver (12, 14, 16, 18) is coupled via an optical waveguide (20) to a central evaluation unit (22). This central evaluation unit (22) determines, on the basis of a level comparison, the main direction from which the optical signal receivers (12, 14, 16, 18) have been acted on by the portable optical signal generator (24A, 24B). Depending on the main receiving direction determined in this way, the various locks of the mechanical locking system can be selectively controlled. <IMAGE>
