Abstract:
A method for authorizing a driver to activate at least one system of a vehicle, includes a preliminary phase that includes an initialization step, an enrollment step scanning enrollment biometric data of the driver, an access step for the driver to enter the vehicle, and a storage step registering enrollment biometric data in memory. The method also includes a subsequent phase that includes an authentication step scanning authentication biometric data of the driver and comparing said authentication biometric data with the enrollment biometric data in the memory, then an activation step wherein, if the authentication biometric data match with the enrollment biometric data, in authorizing the driver to activate the at least one system of the vehicle, or a refusal step wherein, if the authentication biometric data does not match with the enrollment biometric data, in forbidding the driver to activate the at least one system of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 1):
Method for authorizing a driver to activate at least one system of a vehicle, said method comprising a preliminary phase and a subsequent phase based on a biometric authentication process; wherein the preliminary phase comprises:\n an initialization step consisting for the owner of the vehicle in materially allowing the driver to perform further steps, \n an enrollment step consisting in scanning enrollment biometric data of the driver, \n an access step consisting for the driver to enter the vehicle; \n a storage step consisting in registering said enrollment biometric data in a secured memory of the vehicle; \n wherein the subsequent phase comprises:\n an authentication step consisting in scanning authentication biometric data of the driver inside the vehicle and comparing said authentication biometric data with the enrollment biometric data registered in the secured memory of the vehicle, then \n an activation step consisting, if the authentication biometric data match with the enrollment biometric data, in authorizing the driver to activate the at least one system of the vehicle, or \n a refusal step consisting, if the authentication biometric data does not match with the enrollment biometric data, in forbidding the driver to activate the at least one system of the vehicle; and \n wherein the enrollment step is performed on a biometric scanner installed at a dedicated location, outside the vehicle.
