Patent Application
20240425013
This application claims under 35 U.S.C. § 119 (a) the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0081289, filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jun. 23, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for controlling a vehicle for an emergency start, more particularly, to the apparatus and method capable of carrying out the emergency start using a mechanical key provided in a key fob.
A key fob may transmit or receive authentication information through a low frequency (LF) communication and a radio frequency (RF) communication together with a vehicle to recognize a user having the key fob, to open or close a door or a trunk of a vehicle, to start the vehicle, and to provide a link service to a portable terminal.
When communication between the key fob and the vehicle has failed, an immobilizer coil provided in a start button is applied with power, and a user is allowed to press the start button using the key fob, such that the power applied to the immobilizer coil allows an immobilizer to operate a transponder of the key fob. Accordingly, the key fob transmits authentication information to the vehicle. The vehicle performs the emergency start when the key fob is authenticated based on the authentication information.
Meanwhile, recently, an electronic shift by wire (SBW) lever in a column type has been applied between the start button and a transmission knob, such that the moving line between a steering wheel and a transmission is reduced, and the space between a driver seat and a passenger seat is effectively used. The electronic SBW lever (serving as a gear) in the column type is provided at one side of the steering wheel together with a turn signal provided in the steering wheel.
As the start button is realized in the electronic SBW lever in the column type, it becomes difficult to incorporate the immobilizer coil into the start button. Accordingly, the immobilizer coil may be provided in a separate place, which makes it difficult to apply a technique of performing the emergency start by pressing the start button using the key fob. Accordingly, there has been needed to improve technology for enabling an emergency start, when the start button is applied to the electronic SBW lever in the column type.
The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle, capable of applying power to an immobilizer coil, when an occupant condition of an occupant is satisfied in a vehicle in which a start button is applied to an electronic shift-by-wire (SBW) lever in a column type, such that the key fob is recognized, thereby performing an emergency start.
Another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle, capable of outputting theft warning, and transmitting a message related to theft, such that a vehicle owner perceives a vehicle state, when a door is unlocked by a mechanical key in the vehicle in which a start button is applied to an electronic shift-by-wire (SBW) lever in a column type.
Another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle, capable of performing an emergency start only when the verification of a vehicle owner is completed by outputting a theft warning, and transmitting a message related to the theft, such that the verification of a vehicle owner is completed, in the situation that a door is unlocked by a mechanical key in the vehicle in which a start button is applied to an electronic shift-by-wire (SBW) lever in a column type and the door is open
