METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING IN-VEHICLE COMMUNICATION WITH A PORTABLE DEVICE USING NFC

摘要

A method for securing wireless communication between an in-vehicle system and multiple portable devices brought into a vehicle. The method can include receiving a communication request from a portable device, and determining whether a primary device has authorized wireless communication between the in-vehicle system and the portable device requesting communication, where such authorization can be provided via near field communication (NFC). The method can further include establishing wireless communication between the in-vehicle system and the portable device requesting communication when the portable device requesting communication is the primary device, and when the portable device requesting communication is a secondary device and the primary device has authorized wireless communication via NFC.
