BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a process for ensuring visibility in traffic safety and comfort before starting operation of a moving body such as an automobile, a ship, an aircraft, or an orbital transportation vehicle. , A pager activation that allows a process that requires a relatively long time to be remotely started in advance while waiting for parking, berthing, etc., and that humans can be ready in advance before starting driving Mobile driving preparation system of.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An automobile will be described below as an example. During winter, front and rear windows, side mirrors, etc. may interfere with the visibility due to frost, frost, dew condensation, or clouding during parking. In this case, the ice is removed manually by manually scraping it or wiping dew or cloud. However, since the hands are soiled or the hands are cold, the removal is mechanized and automated.

That is, a thin resistance wire is attached to the front window glass or the rear window glass and is energized, or a transparent electrode is attached and electricity is applied to this to heat the window glass or the engine. The ice, dew, and cloudiness of the window glass are removed by warming the window glass with warm water and warm air created by using the heat generated by. As for the side mirror, a sheet-like electric resistance heater is attached to the back surface of the mirror to heat it electrically, or to splash water droplets by ultrasonic vibration.

Since these removing means involve a heating process,
It will take a considerable amount of time to complete the removal. This removal process is performed by manually operating the corresponding switches, levers and keys in the automobile. On the other hand, it has been proposed that a pager be installed in the vehicle body and dialed from an external telephone to cause the pager to ring, emit light, and display a liquid crystal, and use these outputs to activate various functions of a parked vehicle. .. These are actual exploitation Sho 63-1543
44, JP-A-63-246068, JP-A-63-246069, and JP-A-01-177452.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. Hei 01-61800. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-246069 proposes to use a pager widely as a remote control device for automobile equipment to control the automobile equipment.

However, control objects disclosed in any of these publications are headlights, tail lights, blinkers, position lights, horns, door locks, side brakes, shift levers, engine start, air conditioning equipment control, power window opening and closing. Limited to anti-theft measures, no removal of obstructions is suggested. In addition, the operation of each device is only operated by the call of each pager by each message code. Therefore, in order to operate a plurality of devices, the pager is called as many times as there are devices. It is necessary to input a multi-digit number or message each time, which is troublesome.

Further, the conventional activation by the pager does not have a concept of a series of sequential operations or an operation only when various conditions are satisfied, and only one is simply activated. Furthermore, the method of transition between the process started by the pager and the manual control, the simultaneous collision between the two, and the like have not been solved. For example, if the engine is started by starting the pager while the vehicle is running, the cell (fu-start) motor is about to be coupled to the engine, and the coupling gear may be broken.

[0007]

According to the inventions of claims 1, 2 and 3, a pager installed in advance in an automobile (ship, aircraft) is called by dialing a telephone, and a ringing sound of the pager is generated.
Light emission, vibration, and other outputs enable activation of means for removing frost, dew condensation, fog, and the like on windows, side mirrors, and the like. Doing this prior to boarding can solve the main problem.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the removal means can be activated only when a detection output is obtained from at least one of the low outside air temperature detection sensor, the freezing detection sensor, the dew condensation detection sensor and the cloudy detection sensor. And Although humans predict that the pager will be instructed to remove frost, dew, and fog, it may be in a state where visibility is not obstructed depending on climatic conditions.・ Fuel will be wasted. According to the invention of claim 2, this vacancy is prevented.

In the third aspect of the present invention, the means for melting the ice, such as the wiper and the side brake, is likewise activated by the pager, so that the movability can be given in advance. In the invention of claim 4, the pager can be started for the removing means after the engine is started, and the generator output based on the operation of the engine is used for the removing means, so that the consumption of the battery power before the engine is started can be reduced. To do.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, when the air conditioning means is started after the engine is started and the front glass does not have an electric heater, high temperature air is blown to the front glass to remove ice, dew and fog, and It also has the effect of making the habitability comfortable and waiting for a ride. That is, the removing means blows hot air from the air conditioning means onto the front glass, and this is executed after the engine is started.

According to the sixth aspect of the invention, the pager is first called once, and thereafter, each device is automatically operated in an appropriate sequence on the automobile side to prepare for boarding. It is not necessary to sequentially call and activate the pager for each device. In the inventions of claims 7 and 8, the pager start mode and the manual control mode can be transferred to each other without any problem, and the priority is defined when both modes are requested at the same time to avoid collision of both modes at the same time. be able to.

As can be seen from the above description, according to the present invention, once a pager call in the vehicle is made by telephone from the outside, the microcomputer automatically prepares for departure, and the passengers get on board. A system waiting for is obtained, which is convenient for use. (B) It is absolutely necessary to prepare to remove ice, dew and cloud.

(B) Next, it is necessary to remove the freezing of the wiper and the freezing of the brake shoe. (C) Starting of the engine is not always necessary in the recent technology (because the electronic engine control allows immediate start-up operation start). (D) The personnel can endure the discomfort for a while even if the air conditioning is not started in advance.

The sequence of the embodiment may be minimum (a) or (a) (b). However, since the battery is less consumed when the generator is operating when the engine is started, the engine starting sequence is preceded. Also, since there is no heating resistance wire attached to the front window, there are many things that heat with hot air,
The hot air heating sequence for air conditioning and windows is used together. Air conditioning enhances the comfort of passengers when riding.

The relay of the embodiment can be replaced by an electronic switch such as a semiconductor switch. Further, in the embodiment, the manual control is performed by turning the power on and off, but the cost can be reduced by manually controlling the control signal of the electronic switch provided in each device. This is because it is possible to save the thick wiring of the power system to the power system switch and the switch panel.
