Publication number: 20230379991Abstract: An in-vehicle terminal performs a processing related to a remote service of a vehicle. When a first event occurs, a controller of the in-vehicle terminal determines whether short-range wireless communication between the vehicle and a user terminal is being established. In a case where it is determined that short-range wireless communication between the vehicle and a user terminal is not being established, the controller executes a first process. On other hands, in a case where it is determined that short-range wireless communication between the vehicle and the user terminal is being established, the controller executes a second process different from the first process.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventor: Keizoh KAWAGUCHI
