When the user registers the infrared light emitted from the light emitting device 100 of the keyless entry system in the mobile phone device 10, the user presses the center button of the light emitting device 100 with the thumb so that the car key from the light emitting device 100 is displayed. Infrared light for unlocking is released, and the infrared light from the light emitting device 10 is stored in the mobile phone device 10 when the light receiving unit 45 of the mobile phone device 10 receives the infrared light. Such an operation will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

  In step S1 of FIG. 2, when the control circuit 36 determines that there is an input from the input unit 44 to instruct to enter the light receiving mode (the mode in which the light receiving unit 46 receives the infrared data and stores the data in the RAM 40), the process proceeds to S2. Proceed to the step.

  In step S2, the control circuit 36 shifts the apparatus to the light receiving mode and proceeds to step S3.

  In step S3, the control circuit 36 starts counting for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) by a built-in timer (not shown), and proceeds to step S4.

  In step S4, if the control circuit 36 determines that infrared data has been received from the light receiving unit 45, the process proceeds to step S7, and if not, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, if the control circuit 36 determines that the timer that started counting in step S3 has finished counting for a predetermined time, the control circuit 36 proceeds to step S6, and otherwise returns to step S4.

  In step S6, the control circuit 36 displays “data reception failure” on the display 42 and returns to step S1. At this time, the apparatus cancels the light receiving mode and shifts to a normal waiting state, and also clears the timer that started counting in step S3.

  In step S7, the control circuit 36 stores the infrared data received by the light receiving unit 45 in step S4 in the RAM 40, and proceeds to step S8.

  In step S8, if the control circuit 36 determines that an ID (for example, a car name or the like) has been input from the input unit, the process proceeds to step S9. If not, the process in the light receiving mode ends. When the light receiving mode process is terminated, the timer that has started counting in step S3 is reset.

  In step S9, the control circuit 36 stores the ID data input in step S8 and the infrared data stored in step S7 in association with each other in the RAM 40.

To proceed.

In step S11, the control circuit 36 displays a list of types of infrared data on the display 42. When the user selects desired infrared data, the process proceeds to step S12.
The display form of the list display of infrared data types is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, infrared data of three cars 1 to 3 are stored, and first, infrared data for unlocking “Toreno” which is a user's favorite car is stored. Secondly, infrared data of “Lapin” which is a favorite car of the user's older sister is stored, and thirdly, infrared data of “Corolla” which is a car of the house is stored. By selecting a desired vehicle from these three vehicles, the user can cause the light emitting unit 46 to emit infrared data corresponding to the selected vehicle.
Looking at each item, for example, “My Car” is displayed first, but this is an ID corresponding to the infrared data of “Toreno”. It is possible to input by operating 44.

  In step S12, when the control circuit 36 determines that there is an input from the input unit 44 to instruct to emit the infrared data corresponding to the car selected in step S11 from the light emitting unit 46, the process proceeds to step S13. Otherwise, the process returns to step S11.

  In step S13, the control circuit 36 reads infrared data corresponding to the vehicle selected in step S11 from the RAM 40, emits light from the light emitting unit 46, and ends the process.

  As described above, the apparatus according to the present embodiment first receives and stores infrared rays from the light emitting device of the desired car keyless entry system. Next, the desired vehicle can be unlocked by emitting (transmitting) the stored infrared light to the desired vehicle.

  For this reason, the user can easily store the infrared data of the desired car in the mobile phone device without performing a complicated operation, and can easily unlock the desired car by emitting the stored infrared light. Can do.

  In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a keyless entry system that unlocks a vehicle with infrared rays.
