Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an operation control technique for an apparatus such as a vehicle which controls the locking / unlocking operation of the vehicle apparatus in response to an identification signal transmitted via an antenna, and particularly, to provide a feeling of control operation during operation control. The present invention relates to a power-saving unlocking technology that enables an unlocking operation of a door with a lock and other vehicle devices without making it feel, and a technique for preventing the vehicle itself or a locking / attaching device in the vehicle from being stolen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a door lock control device for an automobile locks and unlocks a door by receiving a control signal transmitted by ultrasonic waves or beam light through an antenna or using a transmission switch. Yes (first conventional example: JP-A-61)
-75181, JP-A-62-129479, JP-A-1-53697, and JP-A-6-2613.
No. 74), or a vehicle theft prevention device (second conventional example: JP-A-6-7226, JP-A-6-156491, JP-A-6-156). -197388, JP-A-6-298.
No. 042) has been proposed.

In place of the above-mentioned prior art, a radio wave signal from a transmitter to be carried by a remote controller is received by a receiver attached to the vehicle by a remote operation in which a driver approaching the vehicle does not feel a feeling of unlocking operation and no manual operation is performed. Then, there is a proposal of an unlocking device for a motorcycle for the purpose of preventing theft, in which the steering lock device is unlocked and the engine starter is started so that the vehicle can be driven immediately when it reaches the vehicle ( Third conventional example: JP-A-6-92281). As a similar unlocking technology, we presented a transmission identification code that can open and close the door with an electric lock from the outside without touching the electric lock or the identification card.
There is also known a proposal of a technique of reading it by a reading device, decoding it by a controller and unlocking it (the fourth conventional example: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-129145).

[0004]

In any of the above-mentioned prior arts, the auxiliary power supply is constantly turned on continuously or intermittently to unlock the vehicle for which the sending control signal can be received at any time. It was a technology that made it possible to do. In the first conventional example, the hand permit is taken out each time the lock is released, the button is operated to unlock, and then the door is opened manually, and in the second conventional example, the hand permit is identified. This is an alternative to a door, etc., and manual operation for unlocking cannot be omitted.
In the third conventional example, the driver unlocks and starts the starter without touching the vehicle if he / she approaches the vehicle without making special preparations for traveling, so that the vehicle travels without permission of another person. There is a chance to forgive, and it cannot be the perfect prevention of theft.
In the fourth conventional example, as in the third conventional example, the unlocking is completed only by approaching the door by a legitimate person, and the door can be opened. Therefore, there is a chance that another person can enter the room without permission, or by the door. In the case where another person exists, an unexpected situation may occur in which the door that should have been locked suddenly opens to another person and causes an obstacle. In particular, even if the locking / unlocking function and the anti-theft function of the vehicle can be achieved by the conventional technology, if the power supply on the vehicle side is intermittently turned on and kept in the signal reception standby state, the built-in battery is quickly consumed.

According to the present invention, in a vehicle in a normal power-off state, when a door lock unlocking operation is performed on a vehicle entrance / exit door by wireless, the door is opened within an extremely short initial time during a normal operation for opening the door. The reception control device provided on the vehicle receives the identification signal sent by the operator before the door and sends it out, and the determination processing is performed. , The required power of the vehicle side drive device is turned on to unlock the door lock mechanism, and at the end stage of the door opening normal operation time, the door opening mechanism is opened as if it was in the unlocked state from the beginning. Remote control of equipment such as power-saving and labor-saving operation that completes the start and end of the operation in the state where the person and the vehicle are in the closest contact positional relationship so that the control operation is terminated during the grip operation Operation control method and device It is an object to provide.
