Vehicle use-locking and unlocking system

Claim 1

A wireless locking and unlocking system used with a vehicle, said system comprising: a portable userside controller having userside communication means for establishing wireless communication with said vehicle to transmit a preselected code number and userside memory means for storing said preselected code number corresponding to the vehicle; a vehicle side controller mounted on said vehicle, including vehicle communication means for receiving said preselected code number transmitted from said userside communication means; permanent code memory means for storing a predetermined vehicle code number; a plurality of switch devices mounted externally on the vehicle for manually entering said preselected code number; vehicle discriminator means connected to said switch devices and responsive to said entry of the preselected code number from one of said plurality of switch devices for discriminating between said switch devices to output an identifying signal representing one of said plurality of the switch devices from which the preselected code number is entered; vehicle code memory means storing said predetermined vehicle code number for outputting thereof in response to reception of the preselected code number by said vehicle communication means; first comparator circuit means comparing said predetermined vehicle code number stored in the permanent code memory means and said preselected code number received by the vehicle communication means for outputting a first coincidence signal in response to coincidence between the numbers, second comparator circuit means comparing said predetermined vehicle code number received from said vehicle code memory means and said manually entered preselected code number from said vehicle discriminator means for outputting a second coincidence signal in response to coincidence between the numbers; gating means for receiving said manually entered preselected number from at least one of said plurality of switch devices, said coincidence signals from said comparator circuit means and said identifying signal from said vehicle discriminator means to output an enabling signal; and actuator means connected to the gating means for opening said vehicle in response to said enabling signal when there is coincidence between said manually entered preselected code numbers, said transmitted preselected code number and said predetermined vehicle code number, with the userside controller located alternatively inside and outside of said vehicle.
