Patent ID: 10814834

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a central locking apparatus of a motor vehicle, which is locked by a central locking system of the central locking apparatus as a result of driving above a minimum speed threshold, and is then decelerated to below the minimum speed, wherein in order to subsequently unlock the central locking system, an instantaneous geoposition (GP) emitted from a portable mobile terminal, is first received by means of a detection device of the central locking apparatus. The emitted instantaneous geoposition (GP) of the portable mobile terminal is subsequently evaluated by means of a control device of the central locking apparatus, wherein when evaluating the instantaneous geoposition (GP), the control device checks whether the emitted instantaneous geoposition (GP) is within a delimited, predetermined region, which is stored in the control device. The central locking system is finally unlocked when the emitted instantaneous geoposition (GP) is within the delimited, predetermined region.
