  • Patent number: 7113083
    Abstract: A passive keyless entry device is constructed by a car mounting device mounted to an automobile, a portable device and transmitter-receivers for monitoring a tire pneumatic pressure. The car mounting device has a low frequency signal transmitting section for transmitting a request signal to the portable device and the transmitter-receivers for monitoring the tire pneumatic pressure, a receiving section for a keyless entry for receiving an answer signal responsive to the request signal from the portable device, a receiving section for monitoring the tire pneumatic pressure for receiving the answer signal responsive to the request signal from the transmitter-receivers for monitoring the tire pneumatic pressure, and a controller for forming the request signal and controlling the operation of a door lock mechanism in response to the answer signal and displaying tire pneumatic pressure information.

  • Patent number: 5379033
    Abstract: A remote control device is designed such that it enables an object to be remotely controlled to execute an operation only by the user approaching the object to be remotely controlled. When the user who carries the transmitter 1 depresses an operation button A at a position distant from an automobile 2, the transmitter intermittently transmits a signal containing identification information and command information corresponding to the operation button A. As the user comes closer to the automobile 2 and enters an automatic operation area, the reception level of a receiver 3 exceeds a predetermined value, and the transmission signal is thereby received. The identification information and the command information of the reception signal are decoded, and an operation corresponding to the command information, e.g., door unlocking, is executed by an execution portion 4.
