The various information is mediated by the electronic key 30 and transmitted to the home-side controller 16.

  Next, calculation processing executed in the house-side controller 16, the vehicle-side controller 25, and the key controller 31 will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the lock / unlock control process of the entrance door 11, and this process is executed by the house-side controller 16 triggered by the detection of the user by the human detection sensors 13 and 14 near the entrance door 11. The

In FIG. 4, in step S <b> 101, an outing / return home determination is performed to determine whether the user has gone out or whether the user has returned from the outing. At this time, the determination of going out / returning home is performed based on the detection results of both the front door sensor 12 and the human detection sensors 13 and 14. In particular,
(1) When the user detection by the indoor human detection sensor 13, the door opening detection by the front door sensor 12, and the user detection by the outdoor human detection sensor 14 are performed in this order, it is determined that the user is out. To do.
(2) Regardless of user detection by the indoor human detection sensor 13 or door opening detection by the front door sensor 12, if user detection by the outdoor human detection sensor 14 is performed, it is determined that it is time to go home. To do.

  If it is time to go out, step S102 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S103. In step S <b> 103, various information acquired when the user is staying in the house 10 is transmitted to the electronic key 30. Specifically, the housing-side information such as (a1) to (a7) described above is transmitted to the electronic key 30.

  Thereafter, in step S104, a locking command signal is output to the door lock device 15 of the house 10 to lock the entrance door 11. In step S105, the power OFF process of the lighting fixture 17 and the air conditioner 18 is executed. That is, at this time, when the power of the lighting fixture 17 and the air conditioner 18 remains ON after the user goes out, the power is automatically shut off. However, if another person remains in the house even after the user goes out, it is better to leave the power ON.

  If it is time to go home, step S102 is NO and step S106 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S107. In step S <b> 107, it is determined whether various information (vehicle side information) acquired during driving of the automobile 20 has been received from the electronic key 30. At this time, if it is time to return home, an information transmission request (request signal) is transmitted from the residential controller 16 to the electronic key 30, and the vehicle-side information is returned from the electronic key 30 in response to the request. It has become. And if vehicle side information is received, it will progress to step S108 and will perform the unlocking process of the entrance door 11. FIG. The details will be described later. In the subsequent step S109, automatic control of in-house facilities such as the lighting fixture 17, the air conditioner 18, and the bath facility 19 is performed. The details will be described later.

  The entrance door unlocking process in step S108 in FIG. 4 is performed, for example, according to the procedure shown in FIG. That is, in step S201, a predetermined authentication process is executed. This authentication process is a process for determining whether or not the ID code transmitted from the key controller 31 of the electronic key 30 is a regular code, and the ID code received and the ID stored on the house-side controller 16 side. The codes are collated, and if these codes match, it is determined that the electronic key 30 is genuine. At this time, if the ID codes match, step S202 is affirmed and the process proceeds to the subsequent step S203. If the ID codes do not match, step S202 is denied and the process ends.

  Further, even if the electronic key 30 itself is legitimate, there is a possibility that the electronic key 30 is stolen or picked up. In such a case, various information held by the electronic key 30 is inconsistent. there is a possibility. Therefore, in steps S203 and S204, it is determined whether or not the electronic key 30 is properly used based on the information received from the electronic key 30 (vehicle side information). Here, although an example is shown, in step S203, it is determined whether or not “travel distance received last time ≦ travel distance received this time <predetermined upper limit distance” is satisfied using travel distance information. Further, in step S204, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time from the time when the user finishes traveling the vehicle (or the time when the user gets off) is within a predetermined effective time.

  If both steps S203 and S204 are affirmed, the process proceeds to the subsequent step S205. If any of steps S203 and S204 is negative, the process is terminated. In step S205, an unlock command signal is output to the door lock device 15 of the entrance door 11 to unlock the entrance door 11. If either of steps S203 and S204 is denied, the reception information from the electronic key 30 is inconsistent, that is, the electronic door 30 may be stolen or picked up, and the entrance door 11 is unlocked. Is prohibited.

  Note that the determination method in steps S203 and S204 is merely an example, and other methods can be employed. For example, the electronic key 30 is properly used by the user by receiving the driving time information (driving time information) from the electronic key 30 and confirming that the driving time information has no contradiction or fake. It is also possible to determine that the user is not used by stealing or picking up others.

  According to the process of FIG. 5A, excellent crime prevention can be realized by adopting an unprecedented technique of locking and unlocking the entrance door 11 using vehicle side information. In particular, by carrying out in combination with the door locking / unlocking process based on ID code authentication, it is possible to improve crime prevention as compared with a conventional door locking / unlocking process that performs only ID code authentication.

  Moreover, the automatic control processing of the in-house device in step S109 in FIG. 4 is performed, for example, according to the procedure shown in FIG. That is, in step S221, it is determined whether or not the front door 11 has been unlocked. And if it has been unlocked, it will progress to step S222 and will operate the lighting fixture 17 and the air conditioner 18 according to each environment. For example, the lighting fixture 17 is automatically turned on at night. Further, the set temperature of the air conditioner 18 is adjusted to the same temperature as the set temperature in the passenger compartment when the user is in the automobile 20, and the air conditioner 18 is operated at the set temperature.

  Thereafter, in step S223, the user's degree of fatigue is determined. For example, the degree of fatigue is estimated based on traffic jam information, night driving information, and non-breaking driving information. At this time, it is preferable to determine that the degree of fatigue is greater as the traffic time is longer (the traffic congestion ratio is larger), the nighttime travel time is longer, or the no-break travel time is longer. When it is determined that the degree of fatigue is large, the process proceeds to step S224, and the operation state of the in-house device is set to the fatigue healing mode. Specifically, the bath equipment 19 is automatically operated so that it can be taken immediately. Thereby, the user can heal the tired body by driving the automobile 20.

  It is arbitrary which home equipment is automatically activated when returning home. In addition to the above, the same music is automatically reproduced by the audio equipment in the house 10 based on the music information listened to in the car 20. It is also possible to do. Further, in the fatigue healing mode, it is possible to heal fatigue with a scent having a healing effect by operating a scent generating device (not shown).

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the vehicle door locking / unlocking control process, and this process is executed by the vehicle-side controller 25 triggered by the detection of the user by the human detection sensor 22 near the vehicle door.

In FIG. 6, in step S <b> 301, a getting-off / riding determination for determining whether the user gets out of the automobile 20 or gets on the automobile 20 is performed. At this time, the determination of getting off and getting on is made based on the detection results of both the vehicle door sensor 21 and the human detection sensor 22. In particular,
(1) When door opening detection by the vehicle door sensor 21 and user detection by the human detection sensor 22 on the outside of the vehicle are performed in this order, it is determined that the vehicle is getting off.
(2) Regardless of the detection of the door opening by the vehicle door sensor 21, when the user detection by the human detection sensor 22 on the outside of the vehicle is performed, it is determined that the vehicle is on board.

  If it is time to get off, step S302 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S303. In step S <b> 303, various information acquired during driving of the automobile 20 is transmitted to the electronic key 30. Specifically, the vehicle side information such as (b1) to (b8) described above is transmitted to the electronic key 30.

  Thereafter, in step S304, a lock command signal is output to the door lock device 23 of the automobile 20 to lock the vehicle door.

  If it is a boarding time, step S302 is NO and step S305 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S306. In step S <b> 306, it is determined whether or not various types of information (housing side information) acquired while at home is received from the electronic key 30. At this time, if it is a boarding time, an information transmission request (request signal) is transmitted from the vehicle-side controller 25 to the electronic key 30, and the housing-side information is returned from the electronic key 30 in response to the request. It has become. And if the house side information is received, it will progress to step S307 and will implement the unlocking process of a vehicle door.

  The vehicle door unlocking process in step S307 is performed, for example, according to the procedure shown in FIG. That is, in step S401, a predetermined authentication process is executed. This authentication process is a process for determining whether or not the ID code transmitted from the key controller 31 of the electronic key 30 is a regular code, and the ID code received and the ID stored in the vehicle-side controller 25 side. The codes are collated, and if these codes match, it is determined that the electronic key 30 is genuine.

Therefore, in steps S403 and S404, it is determined whether or not the electronic key 30 is properly used based on information received from the electronic key 30 (various information acquired while at home). Here, although an example is shown, in step S403, it is determined whether or not “the number of times of going out previously received ≦ the number of times of going out received this time <predetermined upper limit number of times” is satisfied using the number of times of going out of the user. In step S404, it is determined whether the elapsed time from the time when the user went out is within a predetermined effective time.

  If both steps S403 and S404 are affirmed, the process proceeds to the subsequent step S405. If any of steps S403 and S404 is denied, the process is terminated. In step S405, an unlock command signal is output to the door lock device 23 for the vehicle door to unlock the vehicle door. If either of steps S403 and S404 is denied, the vehicle door is unlocked on the assumption that there is a contradiction in the information received from the electronic key 30, that is, the electronic key 30 may have been stolen or picked up. Ban.

  In addition, the determination method by said step S403, S404 is an example, and methods other than this are also employable. For example, the time when the user has gone out (outing time information) is received from the electronic key 30 and the operation time information is confirmed to be consistent and false, so that the electronic key 30 is properly used by the user. It is also possible to determine that the user is not used by stealing or picking up others.

  Moreover, after boarding the motor vehicle 20, it is good to permit or prohibit starting of an engine etc. based on house side information. For example, the start permission process shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 8, in step S501, it is determined whether or not the user's sleep information, physical condition information, and drinking information are acquired as the house side information, and the process proceeds to the subsequent step S502 on the condition that such information is acquired. In step S502, it is determined whether driving of the automobile 20 is permitted or prohibited based on the sleep information, physical condition information, and drinking information of the user. At this time, if it does not correspond to any of sleep time at night, poor physical condition, or drinking in the house (the amount of alcohol in the body is greater than or equal to the reference value), the process proceeds to step S503, the engine etc. Allow starting. If any of the above is true, the process proceeds to step S504, and starting of the engine or the like is prohibited.

  However, it may be inconvenient for the user if the engine or the like cannot be completely started under the condition that the sleeping time is short or the physical condition is poor. Therefore, when it is determined that the sleeping time is short or the physical condition is poor, the engine start may not be prohibited immediately, but a warning by a voice, a lamp or the like may be performed. Alternatively, when it is determined that the sleeping time is short or the physical condition is poor, vehicle output restriction (speed restriction) may be performed.
