THE PROBLEMS
Presently, a large number of individuals often need to carry three separate pieces of equipment; vehicle entry devices, household keys and handheld mobile communications devices. Carrying all three pieces of equipment is often inconvenient.
Presently, in the event that a vehicle owner is located in one place, and in possession of the vehicle keys, and the vehicle is in another place, another individual cannot drive the vehicle with the permission of the vehicle owner unless that individual has access to a spare set of keys, or unless that individual meets up with the vehicle owner to receive the keys to the vehicle.
Presently, in the event that a criminal steals a vehicle, together with a set of vehicle keys relating to that vehicle, the criminal may operate the vehicle and the vehicle i owner cannot remotely disable those keys.
Presently, vehicle manufacturers and main dealers frequently do not have communication with all owners of a vehicle throughout a vehicle's life, and do not have access to information relating to the condition, wear and tear, reliability and service history of vehicles as ownership changes.
Presently, the majority of home owners have door locking systems requiring metal keys for accessing their properties. When such property owners are away from their properties, they are unable to allow other individuals to access their properties without providing them with physical keys.
Presently, when a home owner or business owner loses a set of keys to a property, it is frequently necessary to change the locks at the property, often at considerable expense and inconvenience to the owner.
Presently, when a home owner or business owner lends a key to another individual, that individual may obtain a copy of that key, without the owner's knowledge or consent.
THE SOLUTION
The present invention provides a short range wireless communications system operating between a motorised vehicle and a handheld cellular mobile communications device when device and vehicle are within a distance of a few metres of one another, where the handheld device communicates with a cellular telecommunications network and where the telecommunications network is connected to a server, and where a rolling electronic key system operates between the server and handheld device and vehicle, so that the vehicle can be accessed and operated by the vehicle owner through the keypad or other inputs of the handheld device, and may continue to be accessed and operated through the handheld device in the event that the handheld device is out of range of the cellular network, and where the rolling key system is linked to a vehicle electronic management system connected to vehicle sensors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
As shown in Figure 1, a handheld device 1 communicates directly and wirelessly with a vehicle 2 through short range communications incorporated into the vehicle 2 and handheld device 1. The handheld device 1 communicates with a server network 4 through a cellular network 3. A hierarchical encrypted rolling coded electronic key system operates between server network 4 and handheld device 1 and vehicle 2.
Figure 1 also shows dataflow between vehicle 2 and server network 4 through a cellular network 3. Through this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle 2 transmits rolling coded electronic key data and vehicle related data directly to a cellular network 3 routed to the server network 4, from time to time, and receives data from the server network 4 via cellular network 3 relating to rolling coded electronic keys which may access and operate the vehicle 2. This means of communicating data between vehicle 2 and server network 4 is useful but not essential to the invention, because as described above, the vehicle 2 may alternatively transmit rolling coded electronic key data and vehicle data through short range communications to the handheld device 1, which may forward such data via cellular network 3 to the server network 4, and data may be communicated from the server network 4 to the vehicle 2 via the handheld device 1.
Figure 1 also shows dataflow between vehicle service centre 5 and vehicle 2 and handheld device 1 and cellular network 3 and server network 4. Figure I shows that service centres 5 incorporating the appropriate short range communications technologies may communicate directly with vehicles 2 visiting the service centres, so as to receive and update service history data and vehicle data relating to a specific vehicle and vehicle owner.
Service centres 5 may also communicate directly with handheld devices 1 belonging to vehicle owners 2, through short range local communications technologies, and communicate directly with the server network 4, by telephone or other connection, or indirectly with the server network 4 through cellular technology linking the service centres 5 to a cellular network 3, or through the internet (not shown), thereby enabling service centres 5 to access data relating to vehicle owners and their vehicles 2 on vehicle owners presenting their handheld devices 1 at service centres 5.
Service centres 5 may also communicate with handheld devices 1 belonging to vehicle owners 2 through cellular networks 3, thereby accessing vehicle owners, who in turn may opt to transmit vehicle data and or coded electronic key data to service centres 5 or to the server network 4 so that fully up-to-date vehicle data may be accessed by service centres.
Service centres 5 may also encode independent device coded electronic keys, according to permissions provided by either vehicle owner or server network 4, into independent vehicle control devices 6, enabling such devices to access and operate vehicles 2, and to receive and store vehicle data from operated vehicles and transfer such data back to service centres 5 when connected into a terminal at a service centre 5. Such a system operates on a rolling coded electronic key basis.
As shown in Figure 2, the essential components of the handheld mobile communications device 1 include short range communication components for communicating directly with vehicles 2 and service centres 5, when a handheld device 1 is within a few metres range of such vehicles or service centres. Such short range communications technology may include infrared or radio, and may include protocols and technologies such as wireless LAN (WLAN) networks, including 802.1 I WEAN (enabling seamless roaming between private, public, and personal networks) , wireless personal area networks (WPANs) connectivity, "bluetooth" and/or "IrDA." Bluetooth is a wireless technology developed by Ericsson, Intel, Nokia and Toshiba, which specifies how mobile phones, computers and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) may interconnect with each other and with various other systems. Bluetooth technology enables data connections between electronic devices in the 2.4 GHz range. Infrared Data Association (IrDA) protocols allow exchange of data between two devices through infrared (JR) frequencies, up to 2 meters apart (20 to 30 cm for low-power devices). IrDA devices typically have a data throughput of up to 11 5.2Kbps or 4Mbps.
A wide range of cellular communications components are presently available, enabling handheld devices to wirelessly connect and exchange data through various cellular network technologies. Many such systems provide suitable technologies for communication of data relating to this invention.
Figure 2 also shows separate power sources for cellular communications and short range communications. Cellular communications require high levels of power consumption, whereas short range communications require lower levels of power. A separate power source specifically for short range communications helps to ensure that vehicles may continue to be accessed and operated after the cellular communications power source has become fully discharged.
Figure 2 also shows memory components, essential for storage of coded electronic keys. Such memory components may be shared by other device resources, or may be dedicated for the purpose of coded electronic key data and or vehicle data.
Figure 3 shows the reverse side of the handheld mobile communications device 1, with dedicated buttons for accessing and operating vehicles. Button 7 represents the ignition button for starting the engine of a vehicle 2 and switching on the electrical systems of said vehicle necessary for driving and operating said vehicle. Button operates a vehicle boot locking mechanism. Button 9 operates a vehicle alarm mechanism. Button 10 operates a vehicle central door locking mechanism, so as to lock the mechanism. Button 11 operates a vehicle central door locking mechanism, so as to unlock the mechanism.
Figure 4 shows the dataflow which enables one handheld device 1, to transmit a user coded electronic key to a second handheld device 12, by communicating with the server network 4, and instructing computer executable code running at the server network 4 to transmit a user coded electronic key to the second handheld device 12, so that the second handheld device 12 may operate the vehicle 2.
Figure 4 also shows the second handheld device 12 in possession of two coded electronic keys, therefore able to access and operate two separate vehicles, 2 and 13.
