Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle control system.

  In vehicles, a keyless entry system that uses a portable device owned by a user to lock and unlock doors in a vehicle by remote control has become widespread.

  For example, when a request signal is received by a portable device and until a predetermined time elapses after reception of the request signal is interrupted, it is assumed that the user does not intend to lock the door, and the user intends to lock the door. If it is assumed that the door is not locked, the door is not locked. If the user assumes that the door is intended to be locked, the door is locked to prevent the door from being locked against the user's intention. A lock control system has been devised (see Patent Document 1).

  In addition, when the engine is started / stopped manually or the door is locked / unlocked manually using a portable device, the state is transmitted to the home communication device in the home and included in the home communication device. A remote starter for a vehicle to be displayed on a monitor has been devised (see Patent Document 2).

  Further, an electric lock control system has been devised that can lock and unlock a door of a house and lock and unlock a door of a vehicle with a single portable device (see Patent Document 3).

(The following is the answerback information setting)
-Allow / disallow the operation of the answerback unit 46.
The operation mode of the answer back unit 46 (for example, a lighting or blowing pattern).
Whether the information transmission device 3 or the portable device 2 is used to answer the user (both may be used).

  The setting contents of the control request are stored in the memory 32. Further, an operation input is performed by the operation unit 26 of the portable device 2, and the input content is transmitted via the RF transmission / reception unit 24, and the information transmission device 3 stores the input content received via the RF transmission / reception unit 33 as the setting content in the memory 32. May be stored. Alternatively, the control request setting content may be stored in the memory 22 of the portable device 2 and the control request setting content may be acquired together with the ID code in step S12 of FIG.

  Next, it will be in the reception waiting state of the control result of the apparatus for vehicles from the vehicle equipment 1. When the control result is received (S16: Yes), notification according to the control result is performed using at least one of the following (S17). The notification content includes the vehicle device to be controlled, the control content, the control result (normal termination / operation interruption, etc.), and the alarm (collation abnormality, controllable condition not established, retry failure, etc.).

  The configuration of step S17 described above is “the communication unit of the information transmission device includes a notification unit that receives an operation result from the in-vehicle device and performs notification based on the operation result received by the communication unit”. With this configuration, the user can know what the operation result of the control target device is.

When the display unit 37 includes an LCD, a message corresponding to the notification content is displayed.
When the display unit 37 includes an LED, the LED corresponding to the notification content is lit / flashed.
A voice message corresponding to the notification content is output from the speaker 38. The buzzer may be sounded in a predetermined pattern.

A message is displayed / output on the TV 52 or the tablet terminal 53 via the communication I / F 35 (using a wired or wireless LAN function).
A message is displayed / output on a home phone or a fax (not shown) via the communication I / F 35 (using a connection function with a public communication line).

The control result is transmitted to the portable device 2 via the RF transmission / reception unit 33 or the short-range communication unit 34. In the portable device 2, the display unit 27 displays a message in the same manner as the display unit 37, the speaker 28 outputs a voice message in the same manner as the speaker 38, and the vibrator 29 vibrates in a pattern corresponding to the notification content.

  The above-described configuration is “the communication unit of the information transmission device receives the operation result from the in-vehicle device and further transmits the received operation result to the portable device”. With this configuration, the information transmission device does not need to include a notification unit, and can reduce costs.

  The structure which does not perform alerting | reporting of the above-mentioned step S17 may be sufficient. In this case, the vehicle 101 may perform notification (an answerback described later).

  FIG. 6 shows an in-vehicle device control process executed at a predetermined timing by the control unit 11 of the in-vehicle device 1. First, it is determined whether or not a control request has been received from the information transmission device 3 via the RF transceiver unit 16. When the control request is received (S31: Yes), the ID code of the portable device 2 included in the control request is collated with the master code stored in advance in the memory 13 (S32).

  When the collation result is not normal (that is, the ID code does not match the master code) (S33: No), the process proceeds to step S43. On the other hand, when the collation result is normal (that is, the ID code matches the master code) (S33: Yes), the vehicle state detected by the vehicle state detection unit 18 is acquired via the I / O 14 (S34). .

  The above-mentioned configuration is “when the communication unit of the information transmission device establishes communication with the portable device, it acquires an ID code for identifying the portable device from the portable device, and transmits the control request including the ID code. The in-vehicle device includes a collation unit that collates the ID code included in the control request received by the in-vehicle device communication unit from the information transmission device and the master code stored in advance, and the control command output unit is a collation unit. A control command is output when collation is correctly performed. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the device to be controlled from operating in a device other than a regular portable device possessed by the user, and to increase security.

Next, based on the vehicle state, for example, it is determined whether or not a controllable condition that enables control of the vehicle device included in the control request is satisfied.

It is. With this configuration, for example, when there is a person in the vehicle interior, or when the prime mover of the vehicle is rotating, the control target device is not output when a predetermined operation should not be performed. it can.

  The control part 11 acquires the operation result with respect to a control command by outputting a state request | requirement with respect to the apparatus for vehicles which output the control command. When the acquired operation result includes that the operation for the control command has been completed (S37: Yes), the control result for the vehicle device is assumed to reflect the operation completion (S38), and the process proceeds to step S39.

  On the other hand, when the acquired operation result includes that the operation for the control command is not completed (S37: No), it is determined whether the control command is output a predetermined number of times (for example, three times). When the control command has not been output a predetermined number of times (S42: No), the process returns to step S36, and the control command is output again. On the other hand, when the control command is output a predetermined number of times (S42: Yes), the control result for the vehicular device is assumed to reflect that the operation has not been performed normally (for example, a retry failure alarm) (S43). The process proceeds to step S39.

The alarm includes the following contents.
・ Vehicle equipment to be controlled.
-Detailed contents of alarm: collation error (S33: No). The controllable condition is not satisfied (S35: No) (Example: When the control command is “door lock”, the half-door state is detected or the engine is not stopped). Even after retrying a predetermined number of times, the vehicle device does not operate and a desired result cannot be obtained (S42: Yes).

  In step S <b> 39, the above control result is transmitted to the information transmission device 3 via the RF transmission / reception unit 16. Next, permission / non-permission of the operation of the answerback unit 46 is determined with reference to the answerback information included in the control request. When the operation of the answerback unit 46 is not permitted (S40: No), this process ends. On the other hand, when the operation of the answerback unit 46 is permitted (S40: Yes), a control command is output to the answerback unit 46 so as to perform an operation based on the answerback information and the control result (S41).

  The configuration of step S39 described above is “the in-vehicle device includes an operation result acquisition unit that acquires the operation result from the control target device that has output the control command, and the in-vehicle device communication unit displays the operation result acquired by the operation result acquisition unit. It is transmitted to the information transmission device. With this configuration, the operation result of the control target device can be grasped on the information transmission device side.
