[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A remote control device for a vehicle is known which selectively operates a plurality of in-vehicle devices depending on the length of time the operation switch is continuously operated or the number of times the operation switch is operated within a predetermined time (eg, , JP-A-2-162997). In this type of device, as shown in FIG. 15, when the operation switch of the transmitter is operated once within a predetermined time t1, for example, a code signal C1 for unlocking the driver's seat door is unlocked.
Is transmitted from the transmitter, and when the operation switch is operated twice during a predetermined time t1, a code signal C2 for unlocking the passenger door, for example, is transmitted, and when the operation switch is continuously operated for a predetermined time t1 or longer, for example, the trunk A code signal C3 for unlocking is transmitted. The receiver that receives these signals decodes the code signals and drives the driver's seat door lock actuator, the passenger's seat door lock actuator, or the trunk lock actuator according to the respective commands.

Since the conductive switch 11e is connected to the terminal 11h of the control circuit 14 by the lead wire 11f, when a passenger touches the conductive switch 11e with a finger to operate the door unlock switch 11, the capacitance C11 of the human body is changed. The terminal 11h of the control circuit 14 is grounded via the, and the potential of the terminal 11h sharply drops. The control circuit 14 detects the change in the potential of the terminal 11h and recognizes that the occupant is touching the transmitter 10 to operate the switch 11. That is, the control circuit 14 can switch the corresponding switches 11 to 13 only when a signal is input to the terminals 11h to 13h by the conductive switches 11e to 13e.
Each operation signal from is accepted as valid. This allows the switch 1 to be activated when the transmitter 10 is left unattended, for example.
It is possible to prevent the switches 11 to 13 from being accidentally operated by placing an object on the switches 1 to 13.

In step S13, the function code contained in the received remote control signal is read by referring to the function code stored in the memory 23M, it is determined whether or not the operation content is the door unlock, and if it is the door unlock, If not, the process proceeds to step S15. In step S14, the door unlocking subroutine shown in FIG. 9 is executed to perform door unlocking control. In step S15, it is determined whether or not the operation content is door lock. If the operation is door lock, the process proceeds to step S16, and if not, the process proceeds to step S17. In step S16, the door lock subroutine shown in FIG. 11 is executed to perform door lock control. In step S17, it is determined whether or not the operation content is lighting the room lamp. If the room lamp is lighting, step S17 is performed.
If not, the process returns to step S1. In step S18, the room lamp lighting subroutine shown in FIG. 13 is executed to control the lighting of the lamp.

For example, it is determined whether or not 3 seconds have passed since the door lock signal was received for the second time, and if so, the process proceeds to step S32, and if not, the process proceeds to step S34. In step S34, the door lock state detection switch SSW1
~ SSW4 determines whether all doors have been locked, and when the doors are locked, step S
Proceed to 35. In step S35, the lamp driving circuit 40 is controlled to blink the turn signal lamps L1 to L4 for a predetermined time to notify the occupant outside the vehicle that all the doors are locked. In the following step S36, the flag F2
Is cleared and the timer 23T is reset to prepare for the next reception, and then the process returns to the program of FIG. If it is determined in step S33 that 3 seconds or more have elapsed since the first door lock signal was received, the process returns to step S32 and the processing for receiving the first door lock signal is performed again.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the door lock operation switch 12 is operated, the transmitter 10 transmits the first remote operation signal. Receiving this, the receiver 20 confirms that it is the signal transmitted from the dedicated transmitter 10 of this vehicle and the door lock signal, and drives the door lock actuators M1 to M4 of all the doors to the lock side. .. Further, the door lock operation switch 1 of the transmitter 10
If 2 has been operated for a predetermined time, the transmitter 10 transmits a second signal. When the receiver 20 receives the second remote operation signal within a predetermined time after receiving the first remote operation signal, after confirming the locked state of all the doors, the receiver 20 performs hazard lighting for a predetermined time. Notify passengers outside the vehicle that the door lock has been completed. by this,
It is possible to selectively operate locking and confirmation of locking of all doors by a simple operation.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a room lamp lighting subroutine, and FIG. 14 is a time chart showing changes in the operation of each device and signal changes during the room lamp lighting operation. The room lamp lighting operation will be described with reference to these drawings.

If it is determined in step S43 that 3 seconds or more have elapsed since the first room lamp lighting signal was received, the process returns to step S42 and the processing for receiving the first room lamp lighting signal is performed again.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the room lamp operation switch 13 is operated, the transmitter 10 transmits the first remote operation signal. The receiver 20 receiving this,
It is confirmed that the signal is the signal transmitted from the dedicated transmitter 10 of this vehicle and the dorm lamp lighting signal, and the spot lamp L5 in the driver's seat is lit. Furthermore, transmitter 1
If the room lamp operation switch 13 of 0 remains operated for a predetermined time, the transmitter 10 transmits the second signal. When the receiver 20 receives the second remote control signal within a predetermined time after receiving the first remote control signal, the receiver 20 turns on the room lamp L6 in the passenger compartment. With this, it is possible to selectively operate the lighting of the driver's seat spot lamp L5 and the lighting of the room lamp L6 in the passenger compartment by a simple operation.

In the above embodiments, the first remote control signal and the second remote control signal transmitted from the transmitter 10 are the same signal. As a result, the remote control signal generation process of the transmitter 10 and the signal decoding process of the receiver 20 are simplified, and the load on the control circuits 14 and 23 is reduced. However, the first remote control signal and the second remote control signal may have different contents. For example, as the first remote control signal, information indicating the operation content at the time of the first signal reception shown in FIG. 6 is transmitted, and as the second remote control signal, the operation at the second signal reception shown in FIG. Send information indicating the contents. The receiving side decodes the content of each received remote control signal and processes it.
This eliminates the need for the receiving side to distinguish between the first-time signal and the second-time signal.

In the above-described embodiment, the predetermined time for determining that the operation switches of the transmitter 10 are still operated is 1.5 seconds, and it is determined that it is the second remote operation signal of the receiver 20. Although the predetermined time is set to 3 seconds, these times are not limited to those in the above embodiment.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the first load is driven when the first remote control signal is received, and the second load is driven when the second remote control signal is received.
The third load may be driven when the third remote control signal is received in the same procedure. Further, it is also possible to transmit signals more times and receive them to drive other loads.

In the configuration of the above embodiment, the door unlock switch 11, the door lock switch 12, and the room lamp switch 13 are operation switches, and the control circuit 1
4, the transmitter 15 and the antenna 16 constitute a detector and a transmitter, the receiver 21 and the antenna 22 constitute a receiver, and the control circuit 23 constitutes a controller.
