Abstract

A method for providing a refuge space in an object for a person seeking shelter involving triggering a refuge request via an application on a mobile terminal. A communication unit in the object receives the refuge request via wireless communication. The refuge request is saved in a database system and is anonymously checked based on the digital identity of the mobile terminal. The checking comprises a search in an access authorization system. After a successful positive checking, access to the refuge space is released and the object is switched to a refuge mode. The checking and the release are documented in the database system.
