Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling access to a vehicle or other object are provided. A vehicle-based authentication unit and mobile access device, e.g., a key fob, that wirelessly communicates with the vehicle-based authentication unit may each include environmental sensor(s) that collect respective environmental data local to the respective device/unit, e.g., GPS data, local temperature data, local barometric pressure data, etc. The mobile access device transmits an access request message (e.g., a response to a challenge from the vehicle-based authentication unit) that includes environmental data collected by the onboard sensor(s). The vehicle-based authentication unit receives the access request message and determines whether to grant access to the vehicle based on the environmental data included in the message. For example, the authentication unit may compare the environmental data in the access request message with corresponding environmental data collected by sensor(s) at the vehicle, or with other reference data (e.g., user-specific fingerprint data).

Claim (Index 12):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one first environmental sensor associated with the mobile access device includes at least one of the following types of sensors:\n a global positioning system (GPS) system configured to determine a location of the mobile access device, an altimeter configured to measure an altitude of the mobile access device, a temperature sensor configured to measure local temperature data, a humidity sensor configured to measure local humidity data, a pressure sensor configured to measure local barometric pressure data, an accelerometer or other orientation sensor configured to detect a physical orientation of the mobile access device, a fingerprint sensor configured to detect fingerprint data of a user touching the mobile access device; an eye sensor configured to detect information regarding the user's iris, retina, or other aspect of the eye; a facial recognition sensor configured to detect information regarding the user's face; or one or more other biometric sensor configured to detect information regarding a biometric characteristic of the user.
