Patent number: 10220814Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a vehicle apparatus and a key. A confirmer of the vehicle apparatus is configured to confirm existence or non-existence of a second key, which is different from a first key, in a vehicle interior in response to locking of a vehicle by the first key. An authenticator of the key is configured to perform an authentication for authenticating that a user using the key is an authenticated user. An effectivity controller of the vehicle apparatus is configured to disable a function of a permitter concerning the second key when the second key exists in the vehicle interior and the authentication concerning the second key is unsuccessful. The effectivity controller is configured to enable the function of the permitter concerning the second key when the second key exists in the vehicle interior and the authentication concerning the second key is successful.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Hironori Mitsubayashi

Patent number: 8717142Abstract: A door lock control apparatus includes a lock switch on an exterior of a vehicle, a controller, and a check device. The controller performs a first key check in response to a lock command inputted through the lock switch. The first key check determines whether an electronic key specific to the vehicle is located outside around the vehicle based on a response from the key. The check device has previously performed a second key check, after the key has been put into a situation in which the key might have been moved from inside to outside the vehicle. The second key check determines whether the key is located inside the vehicle based on the response from the key. The check device stores a result of the second key check as a stored check record, which is then immediately available for checking when the controller responds to an inputted lock command.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Satoshi Nagao, Hironori Mitsubayashi, Daigo Akutsu, Taichi Yamaguchi, Mitsuru Ogawa, Tomoo Kakegawa, Hiroko Murakami, Tomoyuki Funayama

Patent number: 8531269Abstract: An automatic locking apparatus which is installed in a vehicle, communicates with a portable-unit in areas inside/outside the vehicle, and automatically locks doors, based on whether a response-signal is received from the portable-unit and opening/closing of the doors. The apparatus includes a door-opening/closing-detecting-unit, an inside-of-vehicle-determining-unit forming a communication-area inside the vehicle when one door changes from the opened-state to the closed-state, and determining whether the response-signal is received, an outside-of-vehicle-determining-unit forming a communication-area outside the vehicle when the response-signal is not received, and determining whether the response-signal is received, a locking-control-unit automatically locking the doors when the response-signal is received, when all the doors are closed and presence-of-reception is changed to absence-of-reception, and a storing-unit storing history-information indicating that the response-signal is received.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Satoshi Nagao, Kazunari Nakamura, Hironori Mitsubayashi, Mitsuru Ogawa

Patent number: 8089343Abstract: A smart entry system includes a vehicle-side unit and a plurality of portable devices. Each of the portable devices has a discrimination code different from each other. When a first portable device is locked in a vehicle compartment, the discrimination code of the first portable device is stored in the vehicle-side unit. When the vehicle is parked in a state where all of the doors are locked, the vehicle-side unit transmits a request signal to an exterior communication area provided at an outside of the vehicle, and when the vehicle-side unit receives a response signal from a second portable device and the discrimination code of the second portable device is different from the discrimination code of the first portable device stored in the vehicle-side unit, the vehicle-side unit permits an unlock of the doors of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2009Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Taichi Yamaguchi, Hironori Mitsubayashi, Daigo Akutsu, Satoshi Nagao
