July 7, 2022
The method for performing location dependent actions in a system having a motor vehicle and a mobile communication device connected to the motor vehicle via a short-range radio connection, said motor vehicle having N rotating magnets with N≥1, includes the following steps performed by the motor vehicle at each request for performing an action: A) setting N new frequency(ies), each frequency being assigned to one of the N magnet(s); B) rotating the N magnet(s) at the N respective frequency(ies); C) receiving values of a magnetic field of each of the N magnet(s) detected by the mobile communication device; D) estimating a position of the mobile communication device from the received values; and E) controlling the execution of the requested action when the estimated position is allowable.
