SMART KEY SYSTEM USING THREE ANTENNAS AND A VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD EXECUTED IN A CONTROL UNIT OF THE SYSTEM, CAPABLE OF REDUCING COSTS BY REDUCING 6 ANTENNAS TO 3 ANTENNAS

摘要

PURPOSE: A smart key system using three antennas and vehicle control method executed in a control unit of the system are provided to reduce cots by reducing wires between ECU(Electronic Control Unit) and antennas from 6 sets to 3 sets.;CONSTITUTION: A smart key system using three antennas comprises an antenna unit(210) and control unit(220). The antenna unit is composed of a first, a second, and a third antennas(110,120,130). The first and second antennas are arranged in the center of a longitudinal direction of an inner roof. A part of the third antenna is overlapped with a communication range of the second antenna. The antenna unit covers an interior region and exterior region around a vehicle. The control unit decides whether a smart key(230) exists in the interior region of the vehicle or the exterior region around the vehicle.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
