Description

[0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for receiving playback content from a user terminal device on a motor vehicle and to motor vehicles with such a device.

[0002] For example, the publication DE 10 2014 210 105 A1 discloses a zone-based sound reproduction in a vehicle, wherein the interior of the vehicle is divided into several zones.

[0003] The object of the invention is an improved method and an improved device for receiving playback content from a user terminal device on a motor vehicle.

[0004] This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims and the description.

[0005] An inventive method for receiving playback content from a user terminal device on a motor vehicle comprises the steps of detecting an approach of a user terminal device to a motor vehicle, wherein the user terminal device has a valid digital access key for the motor vehicle; and receiving playback content from the user terminal device on the motor vehicle in response to the approach.

[0006] The method according to the invention serves in particular to receive and reproduce playback content from a user terminal device on a motor vehicle, especially exclusively depending on the presence of a valid digital access key.

[0007] According to the first aspect, this involves initially recording the approach of the user device to the motor vehicle.

[0008] A user terminal device is a device or apparatus designed to receive operating inputs, user input and / or user commands and to communicate with a motor vehicle, in particular to provide these operating inputs to the motor vehicle and thereby trigger functions on the motor vehicle.

[0009] In particular, the user terminal device is a portable or mobile device different from a motor vehicle, which may be designed as a so-called smart device, i.e., a device with at least one processor, such as a smartphone, a phablet or a tablet, a smart watch, smart glasses and / or a wearable, which also provides other functions, such as making phone calls, surfing the internet or providing messaging services, for example through apps or programs.

[0010] Alternatively or additionally, the user terminal device can also be designed as a proprietary device, such as a physical key, a fob and / or a radio remote control, which is designed to perform, or at least effect or support, only the steps described here in connection with the method according to the invention.

[0011] In particular, the user terminal device is designed to trigger or perform one or more functions with respect to one or more motor vehicles, such as locking and / or unlocking one or more flaps and, in particular, also actively opening and / or closing one or more flaps, as well as releasing an immobilizer, starting an engine and / or moving the motor vehicle.

[0012] Such functions or interactions with the motor vehicle, particularly those enabling access to, control of, and / or movement of the vehicle, can also be referred to as safe and / or secured functions and are supported or implemented in the user device by a secure module. Such a secure module can contain both hardware components, for example, a secure processor and / or a secure memory area, and software components, for example, one or more apps or programs, that interact together.

[0013] For this purpose, at least one user terminal device is typically coupled to the motor vehicle, so that the user terminal device is known to the motor vehicle, registered with it and / or, in particular, authorized to perform or initiate the functions described above and also other functions on the motor vehicle.

[0014] The user device has a digital access key, which is stored and / or processed, for example, and in particular exclusively, in the secure module. The access key is currently valid or functional with respect to the vehicle, or at the time the procedure is carried out and / or during the approach step.

[0015] According to the invention, the approach of the user terminal device to the motor vehicle is first detected.

[0016] Approaching means moving closer to, and in particular entering, a predefined distance from the motor vehicle, such as approaching to within 50 m, 25 m, 15 m, 10 m, or 5 m of the vehicle. Specifically, approaching includes entering the range of one or more wireless transmitters / receivers, such as one or more Bluetooth transmitters, that are mounted on and / or enclosed by the motor vehicle.

[0017] The approach of the user terminal device to the motor vehicle can also be achieved in particular via triangulation and / or time-of-flight measurements between at least one or more transmitters / receivers of the motor vehicle and at least one or more transmitters / receivers of the user terminal device using one or more wireless communication standards.

[0018] In particular, one or more transmitters / receivers of the motor vehicle and one or more transmitters / receivers of the user's terminal device communicate regularly or periodically and exchange data and / or information, especially via one or more wireless communication protocols or standards, in particular near-field communication protocols, such as one or more of Bluetooth, in particular Bluetooth low energy (LE), UWB, NFC, RFID and / or WLAN, as will be explained in more detail below.

[0019] Furthermore, in particular, the motor vehicle and / or the user device regularly or periodically records whether and to what extent the user device and the motor vehicle have approached each other.

[0020] Alternatively or additionally, the approach of the user device can also be detected by one or more camera systems on the vehicle, which can identify a user of the user device, who may also be a user and, in particular, the driver of the vehicle, and who can be identified by suitable image recognition algorithms. The one or more camera systems can be located, in particular, inside the vehicle and capture at least part of the exterior in one or more images and analyze them.

[0021] In particular, the procedure is triggered or begins with the approach of the user device with the valid digital access key to the motor vehicle.

[0022] The digital access key serves, in particular, to identify and / or authenticate the user device and / or the user to the vehicle and, specifically, to carry out the subsequent steps of the procedure based on the existence of a valid digital access key, as will be explained later. Specifically, the subsequent steps of the procedure will not be carried out if a user device approaches the vehicle, especially if it is also paired with the vehicle, but the user device does not contain a digital access key.

[0023] In particular, the vehicle is locked, parked, and / or stopped at the time of approach. Specifically, the vehicle has been stopped and, in particular, locked for a predetermined period, for example, at least 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes, or longer.

[0024] In particular, the motor vehicle is in a resting state or sleep mode and / or is shut down or switched off at the time of approach, whereby in particular one or more control units and in particular also a playback unit, such as an infotainment system, which can also be referred to as HU, English: Head Unit and / or HMI, English: Human Machine Interface and which is designed to reproduce one or more playback contents, are in such a resting state and / or sleep mode and / or are shut down or switched off.

[0025] In such a sleep state, one or more hardware components, such as processors and / or memory, and / or one or more software components, such as operating systems and / or programs, are in a power-saving mode, and in particular, one or more components are de-energized. A memory snapshot of the time before the transition to the sleep state is stored. Specifically, in such a sleep state, the system, the vehicle, and / or its components are in or correspond to ACPI states S3, S4, and / or S5. "Shut down" or "switched off" in this context means, in particular, completely de-energized, especially without a memory snapshot being stored.

[0026] In response to or based on the approach, the vehicle, one or more control units, and / or a playback unit can then be awakened from this sleep state. Specifically, in response to the approach, a sleep state is ended and / or one or more devices are switched on, powered on, and / or started up. The awakening or starting up occurs specifically in response to, or exclusively because, the user's device contains a valid digital access key for the vehicle.

[0027] In response to the approach and / or wake-up or startup, near-field communication can then be established between the vehicle and the user device. This setup can also be described as establishing a connection and includes, for example, the exchange of identification data and the creation of a data link between the vehicle and the user device.

[0028] In particular, an approach of the user device can first be detected via an initial near-field communication or a first near-field communication protocol, such as UWB, and / or one or more camera devices, and a second near-field communication or a second near-field communication protocol, which is different from the first, such as Bluetooth, in particular Bluetooth Low Energy or LE, can then be established or set up.

[0029] In response to the approach and, in particular, in response to the activation or startup and / or establishment of near-field communication, playback content is received from the user's terminal device at the vehicle. Specifically, the playback content is received via the previously established near-field communication or near-field communication protocol, especially the second near-field communication protocol. Specifically, the playback content is provided or sent from the user's terminal device to the vehicle, whereby the terms "receiving at the vehicle" and "providing from the user's terminal device" and their technical implementations are used synonymously or interchangeably in the following. The reception of the playback content occurs specifically in response to, or exclusively because of, the user's terminal device containing a valid digital access key for the vehicle.

[0030] In particular, content already being played back on the user's device is transferred from the user's device to the vehicle. "Transfer" in this context means, in particular, that the content is first played back on the user's device and then transferred to the vehicle, whereby playback is stopped on the user's device and resumed on the vehicle, especially seamlessly or without any time delay.

[0031] The playback content is provided from the user's device to the vehicle, specifically for playback on the vehicle. Thus, in response to the provision or receipt of the playback content, this content can then be played back or made available on the vehicle. Playback can occur, in particular, on a playback device in the vehicle, especially one that has been activated and / or started upon approach and is designed to play back one or more playback contents, particularly in or on the vehicle's interior.

[0032] The method according to the invention makes it possible to receive and play back content from a user device on a motor vehicle, particularly only if a valid digital access key is present. In particular, this prevents content from being received and played back by devices that are not authorized to trigger functions on the motor vehicle.

[0033] According to further training, detecting an approach includes detecting the approach of the user device to a door of the motor vehicle.

[0034] This training therefore records whether the user device approaches a vehicle door. This can be recorded just as easily as the general approach to the vehicle. In particular, it records whether the user device approaches a specific, selected, or predetermined vehicle door, especially whether it approaches the driver's door.

[0035] The system can detect either an approach to a vehicle door or the vehicle itself, or both, as an alternative to approaching the vehicle. Specifically, it can detect both a general approach to the vehicle and an approach to a vehicle door. Detection can also be performed in two stages: first, an approach to the vehicle is detected, followed by an approach to a vehicle door. Further steps after the initial approach occur only if the user device also approaches the door; otherwise, the process is aborted.

[0036] In particular, one or more of the steps described above can also be carried out after or in response to approaching the motor vehicle, and one or more further steps described above can be carried out after or in response to approaching a door of the motor vehicle.

[0037] For example, approaching the vehicle can trigger or initiate a wake-up or start-up, and approaching a door can trigger or initiate near-field communication and / or receive and / or play back content.

[0038] This training makes it possible to ensure, with particular precision, that the content being played back is actually intended to be received and reproduced. Specifically, it prevents reception if a user with a user device and a valid access key merely wants to access the trunk or walks past the vehicle without entering it.

[0039] According to further training, detecting an approach includes detecting the activation of a vehicle door opening.

[0040] This training program records whether a vehicle door is operated for the purpose of opening it, or whether a vehicle door is actually opened. Specifically, the door whose opening is recorded is the one to which the user's device has approached, and in particular the driver's door. This can be recorded, as well as the general approach to the vehicle and / or the approach to a door. Specifically, it can be recorded whether the door handle is touched and / or operated, and / or whether the door is opened, especially beyond a predetermined opening angle, for example, more than 5°, 10°, 15°, 30°, 45° or more.

[0041] This can involve detecting either the actuation of opening a vehicle door exclusively, particularly instead of approaching the vehicle and / or approaching a door, or additionally. Specifically, it can detect both an approach to the vehicle in general and / or approaching a door, as well as the actuation of opening a vehicle door. Detection can be carried out in two or three stages, first detecting an approach to the vehicle and then an actuation of opening a door, and / or first detecting an approach to the vehicle, then an approach to a door, and then an actuation of opening a vehicle door. In particular, the subsequent steps after the approach occur only if (also) an actuation of opening a vehicle door is detected.The door is detected, and if not, the process is aborted.

[0042] In particular, one or more of the steps described above can also be carried out after or in response to approaching the motor vehicle, and one or more further steps described above can be carried out after or in response to approaching a door of the motor vehicle and / or after or in response to the activation of a door opening of a door of the motor vehicle.

[0043] For example, approaching the vehicle can trigger or initiate a wake-up or start-up, approaching a door can trigger or initiate near-field communication, and actuating a door opening can trigger or initiate receiving and / or playing back content.

[0044] This training makes it possible to ensure, with particular precision, that the content being played back is actually intended to be received and reproduced. Specifically, it prevents reception if a user with a user device and a valid access key merely wants to access the trunk or walks past the vehicle without entering it. According to further training, detecting an approach includes detecting the user device inside the vehicle.

[0045] This training program records whether the user device is located inside the vehicle and, in particular, whether it has been brought or inserted there, for example, by a user. Alternatively or additionally, it can also record whether the user of the device enters the vehicle's interior and, for example, takes a seat, especially the driver's seat. This can be recorded, as well as the general approach to the vehicle, the approach to a door, and / or the act of opening a door.

[0046] The system can detect either solely whether the user device and / or the user is located inside the vehicle, specifically instead of approaching the vehicle, approaching a door, and / or operating a door opening mechanism, or additionally. Specifically, it can detect both the general approach to the vehicle and / or approaching a door and / or operating a door opening mechanism of the vehicle, as well as the insertion of the user device into the vehicle interior and / or the entry of the vehicle interior by a user.

[0047] In particular, the detection can be carried out in two, three or four stages, whereby first an approach to the vehicle is detected and then whether the user device or the user is located inside the vehicle and / or first an approach to the vehicle, then an approach to a door and then whether the user device or the user is located inside the vehicle and / or first an approach to the vehicle, then activation of a door opening of a vehicle door and then whether the user device or the user is located inside the vehicle and / or first an approach to the vehicle, then an approach to a door of the vehicle, then activation of a door opening of a vehicle door and then whether the user device or the user is located inside the vehicle.In particular, the further steps after the approach only take place if the user's terminal device or user is detected indoors; otherwise, the process is aborted.

[0048] In particular, one or more of the steps described above can also be carried out after or in response to approaching the vehicle, and one or more further steps described above can be carried out after or in response to approaching a door of the vehicle, after or in response to the activation of a door opening of a door of the vehicle and / or after the user device or the user is detected inside the vehicle.

[0049] For example, approaching the vehicle can trigger or initiate wake-up or start-up, approaching a door can trigger or initiate near-field communication, actuation of a door opening can trigger or initiate the receipt of playback content, and inserting the user's device into the interior and / or a user entering the interior can trigger or initiate playback of the content.

[0050] This training makes it possible to ensure, with particular precision, that the content being played back is actually intended to be received and reproduced. Specifically, it prevents reception if a user with a user device and a valid access key merely wants to access the trunk or walks past the vehicle without entering it.

[0051] According to further training, the procedure also includes the step of detecting whether playback content is being played back on the user's terminal device, whereby the reception of the playback content takes place in response to the detection of whether playback content is being played back on the user's terminal device.

[0052] According to this training, it is therefore recorded whether, at present and in particular at the time of approach and / or receipt or provision of the playback content or in response thereto, playback content is being played back on the user's terminal device and whether this is provided to or received by the motor vehicle only or exclusively then.

[0053] However, if no content is currently being played from or on the user's device, one or more of the previously described steps of the procedure can still be performed. For example, even if no content is being played on the user's device, a wake-up or start-up and / or the establishment of near-field communication can occur in response to the approach.

[0054] This advanced training makes it possible to receive only those playback content that the user requests to be played back on the motor vehicle. According to further training, the playback content includes audio playback content.

[0055] The playback content thus comprises, in particular exclusively, audio playback content. Audio playback content is content that includes at least partial human-audible elements, such as music, a podcast, a telephone call, and / or a telephone conference, which is initially played back on the user's terminal device and then, during the execution of the procedure as described above, transmitted to the motor vehicle and played back there, in particular exclusively. The audio playback content may initially be played back via a speaker and / or headphones of the user's terminal device and then, during the execution of the procedure, played back on a speaker of the motor vehicle's playback system, particularly in the interior.

[0056] In particular, the playback content can also include recorded content, especially audio recording content. For example, in the case of a telephone call and / or a telephone conference, the user may provide voice input to respond to audio playback content. This recorded content can initially be received or captured by a microphone on the user's terminal device and, during the execution of the procedure, transferred to a microphone in the vehicle and then, in particular exclusively, further captured there.

[0057] The audio playback content can be provided from the user's device's internal storage, as well as through a telephone call and / or an internet stream.

[0058] This advanced training will make it possible to enable a particularly wide variety of playback content.

[0059] According to further training, the playback content includes video playback content.

[0060] The playback content thus comprises, in particular exclusively, video playback content. Video playback content is content that includes at least partially content visible to a human, such as an image or video playback, a video conference, a television broadcast and / or a live stream, which is initially played back on the user's terminal device and then, during the execution of the procedure as described above, transferred to the motor vehicle and played back there, in particular exclusively.The video playback content can, in particular, first be displayed via a display device and / or a screen, especially a touchscreen of the user's terminal device, and then, during the execution of the procedure, be displayed on a display device and / or a screen, especially a touchscreen of the playback device of the motor vehicle, especially in the interior.

[0061] In particular, the playback content can also include recorded content, especially video recording content. For example, in the case of a video conference, the user can provide video input to respond to video playback content. This recorded content can initially be received or captured by a camera on the user's device and, during the execution of the procedure, transferred to a camera on the vehicle and then, in particular exclusively, recorded there.

[0062] The video playback content can be provided either from the user's device's internal storage or via an internet stream.

[0063] This advanced training will make it possible to enable a particularly wide variety of playback content.

[0064] According to further training, the detection of an approach includes the detection of an approach of several user terminal devices to the motor vehicle, whereby the reception of a playback content from the user terminal device with the valid digital access key for the motor vehicle takes place.

[0065] In particular, at least two or more user devices are brought close to the vehicle, or their approach is detected. Several of these user devices may have previously been paired with the vehicle. However, only one of these user devices possesses a valid digital access key, and only the user device with the valid digital access key can receive, provide, and / or play back content.

[0066] In particular, however, further steps of the procedure can also be triggered or effected by other user devices or the detection of the approach of these other user devices, especially before the detection of an approach of the user device with the valid digital access key.

[0067] For example, the system can initially detect the approach of a user device without a valid digital access key, provided that the device was previously paired with or known to the vehicle. In response, the system can then wake up, start the device, and / or establish near-field communication. However, in this case, the system can also detect, particularly subsequently, the approach of a user device with a valid digital access key, and in response, establish near-field communication. Similarly, content can be received or provided by both the user device without a valid digital access key and the user device with a valid digital access key.

[0068] In particular, however, only the playback content from the user's terminal device that has a valid digital access key can be played back on the motor vehicle.

[0069] This advanced training prevents playback content from a device that is known to and specifically linked to the vehicle from being blocked if it lacks a valid digital access key. This enables a hierarchy of devices.

[0070] According to further training, the procedure also includes the step of receiving the digital access key from the user's terminal device on the motor vehicle, whereby the reception of the playback content takes place in response to the receipt of the digital access key.

[0071] In particular, the user device and the vehicle exchange data and information that authorizes or registers them. Within this context, the valid digital access key can also be provided to and received by the vehicle from the user device. This can occur, in particular, after or in response to the detection of proximity.

[0072] In response to receiving the digital access key, the playback content is then received by the vehicle. Specifically, the digital access key is received and provided immediately upon detection of proximity, and the subsequent steps of the procedure described above occur only afterward. The digital access key is received primarily via the first near-field communication protocol described above, and specifically before the activation, startup, and / or setup of the second near-field communication protocol.

[0073] In particular, further information is provided or received along with the digital access key, for example, information about the user's terminal device, especially identification information and / or near field communication information, which in particular enables or at least supports the establishment of near field communication.

[0074] This training will enable users to ensure, with particular precision, that the content is received and played back by the correct device. In particular, it will also simplify the setup process.

[0075] According to a further development, the procedure also includes the step of estimating a probability that the user terminal device will be introduced into the interior of the motor vehicle, whereby the reception of the playback content takes place in response to the estimation of the probability.

[0076] This training course estimates whether and how likely it is that the user device will actually be inserted into the vehicle's interior. Alternatively or additionally, it can also estimate the probability of the user entering the vehicle's interior. This probability can be estimated based on one or more factors. Specifically, it can be based on previous actions, such as whether the user device approached the vehicle, whether it approached a door, and / or whether a door opening mechanism was activated. The probability is higher the more such actions have occurred.

[0077] The probability is determined, in particular, as a percentage and / or as a dimensionless number between 0 and 1. Specifically, a minimum probability must exist or be determined for the reception and / or playback of the content to occur. Otherwise, no content is received or provided, and / or no content is played back. This minimum probability can be, for example, at least 25%, 33%, 50%, 51%, 66%, 75%, or higher.

[0078] Alternatively or additionally, a probability can also be estimated as to how likely it is that the user device has approached the vehicle, approached a door, and / or opened a door, and that the subsequent steps are only carried out if a minimum probability is reached.

[0079] This further training makes it possible to ensure that receiving and playing back the playback content is also a user desire.

[0080] According to further training, estimating probability involves estimating the probability based on a time frame and / or user behavior.

[0081] Therefore, a time frame is used as the basis for estimating the probability. The time that influences the probability can be, in particular, a specific time of day, a date, a day of the week, a month, a season, and / or a year that exists at the time the procedure is carried out.

[0082] For example, the fact that the user's device approaches the vehicle at 8:00 AM on a weekday suggests that it is a work call which the user intends to transfer to the vehicle. Similarly, the fact that the user's device approaches the vehicle at 5:00 PM on a Sunday suggests that the user has been listening to leisure music on the device, which the user does not intend to transfer to the vehicle.

[0083] Alternatively or additionally, user behavior, particularly with regard to the user's terminal device and / or the vehicle, is used to estimate the probability. For example, user behavior includes the direction from which the user approaches the vehicle, the clothing worn, where the vehicle was previously parked, how long it was parked, and / or which and / or how many user terminal devices, especially those belonging to the user, approach the vehicle.

[0084] For example, if the vehicle is parked overnight in front of the user's home address and the user is wearing a suit when the user's device approaches the vehicle, it can be inferred that the user is making a work call that they intend to transfer to the vehicle. Similarly, if the vehicle has been parked in front of a gym for an hour, it can be inferred that the user has been listening to leisure music on their device when the user's device approaches, music which they do not intend to transfer to the vehicle.

[0085] User behavior can be recorded, in particular by the user's terminal device and / or motor vehicle, especially by one or more camera devices thereof.

[0086] This further training makes it possible to understand user needs particularly well.

[0087] According to another aspect, a device for receiving playback content from a user terminal device on a motor vehicle is specified.

[0088] The device according to the invention comprises means configured to carry out a method according to one of the previously described embodiments. In particular, the device comprises one or more processor units for carrying out the previously described method. The device also particularly comprises a memory on which code is stored, especially non-volatile code, which, when executed by a processor unit, causes the processor unit to carry out the previously described method.

[0089] In particular, the device may include at least one user terminal device with a valid digital access key and / or the motor vehicle, form a system with it and / or interact with it to carry out the procedure described above.

[0090] According to a further aspect, a motor vehicle is specified. The motor vehicle has means for carrying out one or more embodiments of the previously described method. In particular, the motor vehicle has a previously described device. Specifically, all previously described method steps are carried out or at least effected by the motor vehicle alone, and in particular exclusively by the motor vehicle or its device.

[0091] Regarding the advantages of the device and the motor vehicle, as well as their further developments and advantages, reference is made to the advantages and further developments of the method explained above.

[0092] Further features of the invention will become apparent from the claims, the figures, and the description of the figures. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown in the figures alone, are not only usable in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations or on their own.

[0093] The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to a preferred embodiment and the drawings. The drawings show: Fig. 1 A schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a method and a device for receiving playback content from a user terminal device on a motor vehicle.

[0094] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a method and a device 100 for receiving playback content from a user terminal device 20 on a motor vehicle 10.

[0095] The device 100 can be encompassed by the motor vehicle 10 and / or form a system with at least one first user terminal device 20 and / or the motor vehicle 10. The device 100 is configured to perform or at least effect the process steps described below.

[0096] Shown in this Fig.Figure 1 shows, for example, a first user 2 of the motor vehicle, such as a driver, who possesses a first user device 20 and approaches the motor vehicle 10. The first user device 20 has a valid digital access key for the motor vehicle 10. A second user 3 is also shown, who is likewise a user of the motor vehicle, for example, a passenger, and who possesses a second user device 30 and also approaches the motor vehicle 10. The second user device 30 does not have a valid access key for the motor vehicle 10.

[0097] The device 100 is designed to detect the approach of the first user terminal device 20 and also of the second user terminal device 30 to the motor vehicle 10.

[0098] The first user terminal 20 has a valid digital access key for the motor vehicle 10, and the second user terminal 30 does not.

[0099] In particular, the device 100 is configured to detect, during approach detection, the approach of the first user terminal device 20 and the second user terminal device 30 to a door, especially a driver's door of the motor vehicle. In particular, the device 100 is also configured to detect, during approach detection, the actuation of a door opening, especially of the driver's door. In particular, the device is also configured to detect, during approach detection, whether a user terminal device 20, 30 and / or a user 2, 3 is located inside the vehicle.

[0100] The device 100 is also designed to cause a wake-up of a device, such as a playback device not shown here, of the motor vehicle 10 in response to the approach.

[0101] The device 100 is also designed to establish near-field communication with the first user terminal 20 and the second user terminal 30 in response to approach.

[0102] The device 100 is also designed to receive the digital access key from the user terminal device 20 on the motor vehicle 10.

[0103] The device 100 is also configured to estimate the probability that the user terminal device 20 will be inserted into the interior of the motor vehicle 10. This probability can be estimated, in particular, based on a time frame or user behavior.

[0104] The device 100 is also designed to receive playback content from the user terminal device 20 with the valid digital access key on the motor vehicle 10 in response to the approach and in particular in response to the digital access key and in particular depending on the estimated probability.
