Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle equipment control system, and more particularly to a vehicle equipment control system for controlling the setting or release of a theft prevention state of a vehicle equipment of an automobile and an apparatus used therefor.

  In recent years, various measures have been taken to prevent theft of automobiles. As one method of preventing theft, the technique described in Patent Document 1 temporarily moves the position of the seat and the steering wheel to a position where it cannot be operated (or becomes difficult) (referred to as an anti-theft state), thereby temporarily Even if the door or engine key is unlocked by unauthorized means, it makes it difficult for a third party to drive and steal the vehicle.

  However, returning the position of the seat and the steering wheel from the anti-theft state to a position where it can be driven (referred to as a normal state) is generally performed by driving a motor or an actuator, but requires a certain amount of time. For this reason, if the occupant cancels the anti-theft state after arriving at the vehicle, a long waiting time is required before the passenger can get in, which is inconvenient.

  In order to reduce the waiting time of the occupant, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, the vehicle detects an approach by receiving a radio signal from a portable device held by the occupant and steals before the occupant arrives at the vehicle. The change from the prevention state to the normal state is started. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the waiting time of the occupant until the change from the anti-theft state to the normal state is completed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. In the drawings described below, components having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated description thereof may be omitted.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a vehicle equipment control system 1 according to the present embodiment. The vehicle equipment control system 1 includes a passage detection device 2 that detects the passage of an occupant and transmits a radio signal, and a vehicle equipment control device 3 that receives the radio signal from the passage detection device 2 and controls the vehicle equipment. Prepare. The vehicle equipment control device 3 is connected to a vehicle equipment drive device 4 that operates the position and angle of the seat 5 and the steering wheel 6 and controls the operation thereof.

The vehicle equipment drive device 4 is installed in the vehicle and has arbitrary drive means such as a motor and an actuator for operating the vehicle equipment. Here, the vehicle equipment refers to equipment provided in the vehicle such as the seat 5 and the steering wheel 6. The vehicle equipment drive device 4 can be set in an anti-theft state where the position and the angle of the seat 5 and the steering wheel 6 are changed by the drive means so that the operation is impossible or difficult. Further, the vehicle equipment driving device 4 changes the position and angle of the seat 5 and the steering wheel 6 set in the anti-theft state by the driving means, and sets them in a normal state in which driving is possible (also referred to as releasing the anti-theft state). )can do.
The object to be operated by the vehicle equipment drive device 4 may be at least one of the seat 5 and the steering wheel 6, or any other vehicle equipment.

The passage detection device 2 is installed outside the vehicle (for example, an entrance / exit of a building having a parking lot). The passage detection device 2 detects that an occupant has passed in the vicinity and transmits the passage information and identification information of the occupant as a detection result to the vehicle equipment control device 3 as radio signals.
Here, the fact that the occupant has passed in the vicinity means that the occupant is present or has recently been in a range that the passage detection device 2 can detect. For example, the passage detection device 2 detects that the wireless device owned by the passenger has approached the passage detection device 2, or detects that the passenger has pressed a button provided on the passage detection device 2. It can be detected that a passenger has passed through the vicinity.

The place where the passage detection device 2 is installed may be an arbitrary point that passes when the occupant gets on the vehicle. In addition to the building entrance / exit, it may be the entrance / exit of the room where the passengers stay. In addition, when there are a plurality of passengers who are likely to get on, the passage detection device 2 may be installed at a location where each passenger passes.
In the present embodiment, the passage detection device 2 is provided at the entrance of the owner of the vehicle in which the vehicle equipment driving device 4 is provided. Therefore, the passage detection device 2 is supplied with power from the power supply at home.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of the passage detection device 2. The passage detection device 2 includes a detection unit 21 that detects passage of an occupant and acquires passage information and identification information, a transmission unit 22 that transmits the passage information and identification information of the occupant as radio signals, and a detection unit 21 and a transmission unit. The control part 23 which controls 22 and the memory | storage part 24 which memorize | stores data are provided. The passage detection device 2 is configured to receive power supply from a building to which the passage detection device 2 is fixed. Here, the passing information includes at least a passenger's passing time, and the identification information includes at least an identification code that can identify the passenger.

  The detection unit 21 transmits / receives a radio signal to / from a portable device (for example, a key of a vehicle having a wireless function) 7 held by an occupant. The detection unit 21 is provided with a detection antenna 25 for transmitting and receiving a radio signal from the portable device 7. As a wireless signal transmission / reception method, a known method may be used. The portable device 7 held by the occupant transmits a signal including an identification code that can identify the occupant to the detection unit 21, and the detection unit 21 receives the signal. Based on this, the detection unit 21 determines passenger passage information and identification information. As the passage time included in the passage information, the transmission time or reception time of the signal from the portable device 7 is used. As the identification code included in the identification information, the identification code received from the portable device 7 (or one subjected to predetermined conversion) is used.

  As the detection unit 21, any detection means may be used as long as it is possible to detect the passage of the occupant and information necessary for identifying the occupant is obtained. As the detection unit 21, in addition to the detection unit that transmits and receives wireless signals to and from the portable device as in the present embodiment, an active detection unit that uses, for example, person recognition by a camera can be used. Here, “active” means that the detection unit 21 detects passage even if the occupant does not perform a specific action. In the case of using human recognition by a camera, a camera is installed as the detection unit 21, and the control unit 23 identifies the occupant by comparing the occupant image acquired by the camera with the recognition information stored in the storage unit 24. do it. When using active detection means, there is an advantage that the occupant does not need to perform an additional operation, which is highly convenient, but the anti-theft state can be released regardless of whether the occupant gets on the vehicle after passing. Will occur.

  On the other hand, as the detection unit 21, a passive detection unit using, for example, button pressing or fingerprint authentication can be used. Here, “passive” means that the detection unit 21 detects passage by using a specific operation of the occupant as a trigger. When button pressing is used, a different button is provided for each occupant as the detection unit 21, the corresponding button is pressed before the occupant gets on the vehicle, and the control unit 23 detects the button pressing to detect passage and What is necessary is just to identify. When fingerprint authentication is used, if a fingerprint sensor is provided as the detection unit 21, the fingerprint authentication is performed before the occupant gets on the vehicle, and the control unit 23 identifies the fingerprint to detect passage and identify the occupant. Good. When the passive detection means is used, there is an advantage that the anti-theft state can be released only when the occupant is willing to get into the vehicle, but the additional operation required for the occupant increases.

  The transmission unit 22 transmits the occupant passage information and identification information acquired by the detection unit 21 to the vehicle equipment control device 3 as radio signals. The transmission unit 22 is provided with a transmission antenna 26 for transmitting a radio signal. As a wireless signal transmission method, a known method may be used. In order to enhance safety, it is desirable to transmit the passenger's passage information and identification information after encryption.

The control unit 23 controls the detection unit 21 so as to acquire the passenger's passage information and identification information, and then controls the transmission unit 22 so as to transmit the passage information and identification information. The control unit 23 is connected to the storage unit 24 and performs control based on a program or the like stored in the storage unit 24. Data such as passage information and identification information is stored on the storage unit 24.
The control unit 23 includes a CPU, an electric circuit, and the like necessary for control. The storage unit 24 includes a RAM that is a system work memory for the CPU to operate, a ROM that stores the program, system software, and the like, a hard disk drive, and the like. The storage unit 24 may include a portable storage medium such as a CD-ROM or a flash memory.

  The vehicle equipment control device 3 is installed in a vehicle provided with a vehicle equipment driving device 4, a seat 5, and a steering wheel 6. The vehicle equipment control device 3 receives the occupant's passage information and identification information from the passage detection device 2 and performs drive control of the vehicle equipment such as the seat 5 and the steering wheel 6 via the vehicle equipment drive device 4 accordingly.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of the vehicle equipment control device 3. The vehicle equipment control device 3 includes a receiving unit 31 that receives a radio signal from the passage detection device 2, a control unit 32 that controls the receiving unit 31 and the vehicle equipment driving device 4, and a storage unit 33 that stores data. Prepare.

  The receiving unit 31 receives a radio signal including the occupant passage information and identification information transmitted from the passage detection device 2. The receiving unit 31 is provided with a receiving antenna 34 for receiving a radio signal. Further, when the passenger's passing information and identification information are encrypted, decryption is performed.

  The control unit 32 controls the reception unit 31 so as to receive the occupant passage information and the identification information, and then controls the operation of the vehicle equipment drive device 4 based on the passage information and the identification information.

Specifically, the control unit 32 waits until a predetermined waiting time elapses from the occupant's passing time included in the passing information until the release of the anti-theft state starts, and after the waiting time has elapsed. Start releasing the anti-theft state. For example, when the passage detection device 2 is installed at a position far away from the vehicle, if the anti-theft state is released too early, the vehicle will be in a normal state for a long time, resulting in a reduction in the anti-theft property. Therefore, anti-theft is improved by setting a waiting time until the start of the anti-theft state so that the release of the anti-theft state is completed immediately before the occupant arrives at the vehicle. be able to.
The occupant may input an arbitrary value to the storage unit 33 in advance, or may be determined in advance by experiments or simulations and stored in the storage unit 33. The waiting time stored in the storage unit 33 is read out by the control unit 32 at or before the necessary time.

  In addition, the control unit 32 collates the identification code included in the identification information with the occupant information stored in advance in the storage unit 33. And the control part 32 determines the position (normal state) of the vehicle installation suitable for the passenger | crew from the passenger | crew information corresponding to an identification code. Furthermore, the control part 32 controls the vehicle equipment drive device 4, cancels the anti-theft state of the vehicle equipment, and sets the normal state suitable for the passenger. As the normal state suitable for the occupant, for example, the position and angle of the seat 5 when the occupant last boarded, the tilt position of the steering wheel 6 may be used, or a vehicle set in advance by the occupant. The location of the equipment may be used. Thus, when canceling the anti-theft state, the convenience of the occupant can be improved by setting the vehicle equipment at a position suitable for the occupant.

  In this embodiment, the information related to the normal state suitable for the passenger is acquired on the vehicle equipment control device 3 side, but may be acquired on the passage detection device 2 side. In that case, the control unit 23 of the passage detection device 2 collates the identification code included in the identification information with the occupant information stored in advance in the storage unit 24 of the passage detection device 2, and is suitable for the occupant. Determine the normal state. Furthermore, the passage detection device 2 transmits a normal state suitable for the passenger as a radio signal to the vehicle equipment control device 3. The occupant information may be acquired via a network (not shown).

  Furthermore, the control unit 32 measures the time after the release of the anti-theft state is completed, and the door is not unlocked (or the occupant gets on or approaches the vehicle) even after the predetermined time has elapsed. In this case, the vehicle equipment driving device 4 is controlled to reset the vehicle equipment to the anti-theft state. This prevents the anti-theft state from being released when the occupant does not get on despite the passage of the occupant of the passage detection device 2 being detected. Can be improved.

The control unit 32 is connected to the storage unit 33 and performs control based on a program or the like stored in the storage unit 33. Data such as passage information and identification information is stored on the storage unit 33.
The control unit 32 includes a CPU, an electric circuit, and the like necessary for control. The storage unit 33 includes a RAM that is a system work memory for operating the CPU, a ROM that stores the program, system software, and the like, a hard disk drive, and the like. The storage unit 33 may include a portable storage medium such as a CD-ROM or a flash memory.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a flowchart for canceling the anti-theft state using the vehicle equipment control system 1 according to the present embodiment. First, the passage detection device 2 detects the passage of an occupant (step S11). And the passage detection apparatus 2 transmits a passenger | crew's passage information and identification information, and the vehicle equipment control apparatus 3 receives it (step S12).

  The vehicle equipment control device 3 waits until a predetermined waiting time elapses from the occupant passage time included in the passage information (step S13).

  When the waiting time has elapsed, the vehicle equipment control device 3 identifies the occupant based on the identification information, and determines the position of the vehicle equipment suitable for the occupant (step S14). Then, the vehicle equipment control device 3 controls the vehicle equipment drive device 4 to release the anti-theft state and starts setting the position of the vehicle equipment suitable for the occupant (step S15).

  The vehicle equipment control device 3 measures the time after completion of the release of the anti-theft state, and determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (step S16). When a predetermined time has elapsed after the completion of the release of the anti-theft state (and the door has not been unlocked), the vehicle equipment control device 3 controls the vehicle equipment drive device 4 to control the vehicle equipment. Reset to the theft prevention state (step S18). Thereafter, the vehicle equipment control device 3 ends the control.

  If the predetermined time has not elapsed after the cancellation of the anti-theft state, the vehicle equipment control device 3 determines whether or not the vehicle door is unlocked by the occupant (step S17). When the door is unlocked by the occupant within a predetermined time after completion of the release of the anti-theft state, the vehicle equipment control device 3 ends the control. If the door is not unlocked by the occupant, the predetermined time elapse determination (step S16) and the door unlock determination (step S17) are continued.

According to the vehicle equipment control system 1 according to the present embodiment, since the passage detection device 2 is installed in a building, the vehicle equipment control device 3 installed in the vehicle from the passage detection device 2 without being restricted by power supply. A wireless signal can be transmitted. As a result, the vehicle equipment can be controlled from a further distance, specifically, the anti-theft state can be released. Therefore, it is possible to prevent or reduce the situation where the anti-theft state has not yet been released when the occupant reaches the vehicle.
Moreover, since the passage detection device 2 is installed in a building, it is not so limited in size and weight. As a result, various detection means can be used in addition to the conventional form using a portable device, and the degree of freedom of the device configuration is increased.
Further, since the passage detection device 2 can identify an occupant and the vehicle equipment control device 3 can set the vehicle equipment at a position suitable for the occupant, the convenience is high.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the passage detection device 2 identifies the occupant, but in this embodiment, the passage detection device 2 cancels the anti-theft state without identifying the occupant.
As a result, although the vehicle equipment control device 3 cannot set the vehicle equipment at a position suitable for the occupant, the degree of freedom of the configuration of the passage detection device 2 is improved, and the vehicle equipment control in the vehicle equipment control device 3 is controlled. Becomes simple.

  The device configuration of the vehicle facility control system 1, the passage detection device 2, and the vehicle facility control device 3 according to the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.

In the passage detection device 2 according to the present embodiment, the detection unit 21 detects passage of an occupant and acquires passage information. Unlike the first embodiment, the detection unit 21 does not require acquisition of occupant identification information. As the detection unit 21, in addition to the detection unit exemplified in the first embodiment, any detection unit capable of detecting the passage of an occupant may be used. For example, it is possible to detect passage by using the entrance door as a trigger. That is, by providing a means for detecting that the entrance door is locked as the detection unit 21, the time point when the locking is detected can be regarded as passing of the occupant.
Further, for example, it is possible to detect passage by using the setting of the home security function as a trigger. A general home security function can be switched ON / OFF by a hardware or software switch. Therefore, a means for detecting ON / OFF of the home security function is provided as the detection unit 21, and the time point when the home security function is switched from OFF to ON can be regarded as passing of the occupant.

  The transmission part 22 transmits the passenger | crew passage information acquired by the detection part 21 to the vehicle equipment control apparatus 3 as a radio signal. The control unit 23 controls the detection unit 21 so as to acquire the passenger's passage information, and then controls the transmission unit 22 so as to transmit the passage information.

  In the vehicle equipment control device 3 according to the present embodiment, the reception unit 31 receives a radio signal including the passenger passage information transmitted from the passage detection device 2. The control unit 32 controls the reception unit 31 so as to receive the occupant passage information, and then controls the operation of the vehicle equipment drive device 4 based on the occupant passage information.

Unlike the first embodiment, the control unit 32 according to the present embodiment does not require occupant identification. The control unit 32 controls the vehicle equipment drive device 4 to release the anti-theft state of the vehicle equipment, and sets the vehicle equipment drive device 4 to a predetermined normal state regardless of who the occupant is. As the predetermined normal state, the position and angle of the seat 5 when someone has previously boarded or the tilt position of the steering wheel 6 may be used. Further, as the predetermined normal state, a preset position of the vehicle equipment may be used.
Other functions of the control unit 32 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  The vehicle facility control performed using the vehicle facility control system 1 according to the present embodiment is obtained by omitting the identification of the occupant (step S14) from the flowchart according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. Therefore, after the waiting time has elapsed (step 13), the anti-theft state is canceled (step S15). In the release of the theft prevention state (step S15), the vehicle equipment control device 3 controls the vehicle equipment drive device 4 to set the position of the predetermined vehicle equipment regardless of who the occupant is.

(Third embodiment)
In the first and second embodiments, when the passage of the occupant is detected by the passage detection device 2, the vehicle equipment control device 3 performs control so as to release the stolen state of the vehicle equipment. On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the passage detection device 2 detects the passage of an occupant, the vehicle equipment control device 3 performs control to set the vehicle equipment in a theft prevention state. Thus, even when the occupant forgets to set the anti-theft state when leaving the vehicle, the passage detection device 2 installed in the building or the like detects the passage of the occupant and sets the anti-theft state. Therefore, the anti-theft property can be improved.

  For example, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, if the anti-theft state is automatically set with a trigger when the portable device leaves the vehicle, the occupant moves away for shopping or the like (for example, about 5 m). ) Is also inconvenient because it will be in an anti-theft state. On the other hand, in the vehicle equipment control system 1 according to this embodiment, since the passage detection device 2 is installed in a building or the like, the vehicle equipment installed in the vehicle from the passage detection device 2 without being restricted by power supply. A wireless signal can be transmitted to the control device 3. As a result, since the anti-theft state can be set from a greater distance, the time required to automatically shift to the anti-theft state can be increased.

  The device configuration of the vehicle facility control system 1, the passage detection device 2, and the vehicle facility control device 3 according to this embodiment is the same as that of the first and second embodiments.

  In the passage detection device 2 according to the present embodiment, the detection unit 21 detects passage of an occupant and acquires passage information. The detection unit 21 does not need to acquire occupant identification information, as in the second embodiment. As the detection unit 21, the detection means exemplified in the first and second embodiments may be used. The transmission part 22 transmits the passenger | crew passage information acquired by the detection part 21 to the vehicle equipment control apparatus 3 as a radio signal. The control unit 23 controls the detection unit 21 so as to acquire the passenger's passage information, and then controls the transmission unit 22 so as to transmit the passage information.

  In the vehicle equipment control device 3 according to the present embodiment, the reception unit 31 receives a radio signal including the passenger passage information transmitted from the passage detection device 2. The control unit 32 controls the reception unit 31 so as to receive the occupant passage information, and then controls the operation of the vehicle equipment drive device 4 based on the occupant passage information.

  Specifically, when the reception unit 31 receives occupant passage information, the control unit 32 determines whether the occupant is in the vehicle. Although the determination method is arbitrary, for example, it may be determined whether or not an occupant is on board by providing a vehicle with a weight sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like.

  Moreover, when it determines with the passenger | crew being not boarding the vehicle, the control part 32 controls the vehicle equipment drive device 4, and sets a vehicle equipment from a normal state to a predetermined antitheft state. The predetermined anti-theft state means that at least one of the position 5 and the angle of at least one of the seat 5 and the steering wheel 6 cannot be operated (or becomes difficult). Further, any other vehicle equipment may be in a state where it is difficult to be stolen.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart for setting a theft prevention state using the vehicle equipment control system 1 according to the present embodiment. First, the passage detection device 2 detects the passage of an occupant (step S21). And the passage detection apparatus 2 transmits a passenger | crew's passage information, and the vehicle equipment control apparatus 3 receives it (step S22).

  When receiving the passing information, the vehicle equipment control device 3 determines whether or not an occupant is in the vehicle (step S23). The vehicle equipment control device 3 ends the control when it is determined that an occupant is in the vehicle.

  When it is determined that no occupant is in the vehicle, the vehicle equipment control device 3 controls the vehicle equipment drive device 4 to set the vehicle equipment in a theft prevention state (step S24). Thereafter, the vehicle equipment control device 3 ends the control.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, an operation of a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a smartphone may be used as a pass detection trigger in the pass detection device 2. In this case, a button is provided as software installed in the mobile terminal, and the passenger presses the button before getting on the vehicle. Then, the portable terminal transmits button press information as passage information to the cellular phone network. Thereafter, a mobile phone base station (corresponding to the passage detection device 2) close to the vehicle receives the passage information and transmits it to the vehicle. The vehicle equipment control device 3 receives the passage information from the base station.

  In addition, for example, by combining the first or second embodiment and the third embodiment, one vehicle equipment control system 1 can release the anti-theft state (first or second embodiment) and the setting function. You may make it have both (3rd Embodiment). Thereby, when detecting the passage of the occupant by the passage detection device installed in the building or the like, it is possible to selectively switch between the release of the anti-theft state and the setting.

  In this case, it is desirable that the passage detection device can recognize the direction of passage of the occupant. That is, it is desirable for the passage detection device to distinguish between when the occupant leaves the building from the inside and when the occupant enters the building from the outside.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a passage detection device 2a that can recognize the direction of passage of an exemplary passenger. The passage detection device 2a has the same configuration as the passage detection device 2 shown in FIG. 2 except that the detection unit 21 has two detection antennas 25a and 25b. The detection antenna 25a is installed on the exterior side of the building and the detection antenna 25b is installed on the interior side of the building along the passage of the building where the passage detection device 2a is installed. In FIG. 6, A indicates the detection range of the detection antenna 25a, and B indicates the detection range of the detection antenna 25b.

  When an occupant enters the building from the outside of the building, the occupant first enters the detection range A of the detection antenna 25a, and then enters the detection range B of the detection antenna 25b. Therefore, when the passage detection device 2a detects the occupant's passage using the detection antenna 25b after detecting the occupant's passage using the detection antenna 25a, the occupant entered the inside from the outside of the building. Is determined.

  On the other hand, when the occupant leaves the building from the outside of the building, the occupant first enters the detection range B of the detection antenna 25b, and then enters the detection range A of the detection antenna 25a. Therefore, when the passage detection device 2a detects the occupant's passage using the detection antenna 25b and then detects the occupant's passage using the detection antenna 25b, the occupant exits from the inside of the building to the outside. Is determined.

  The passage detection device 2a transmits, as passage information, the occupant's passage direction (entrance or exit) in addition to the passage time to the vehicle equipment control device 3.

  With such a configuration, when the passage detection device 2a detects the occupant leaving, the vehicle equipment control device 3 releases the anti-theft state, and when the passage detection device 2a detects the occupant entry, The vehicle equipment control device 3 can set a theft prevention state.
