  • Publication number: 20110202201
    Abstract: A remote starting device starts up an engine of a vehicle when receiving an engine starting signal wirelessly transmitted from a remote control terminal. A starting control unit turns on a remote control switch disposed in a path through which power is supplied to ignition devices from a battery to supply power to the ignition devices and to start up the engine when receiving the engine starting signal. An operation state detecting unit detects at least a key insertion operation of inserting a key into a key cylinder and a brake pedaling operation of depressing a brake pedal, by an operator. A remote control stopping unit turns off the remote control switch when stopping of the brake pedaling operation is detected after the engine is started up and the key insertion operation and the brake pedaling operation are detected.

  • Patent number: 7915998
    Abstract: A main control portion of a vehicle has an LF transmission antenna for transmitting a search signal. The LF transmission antenna has five antennas respectively provided on door knobs of the vehicle. A smart key receives the search signals transmitted from respective antennas constituting the LF transmission antenna, and then measures a filed strength of the received search signal. The smart key transmits field strength information representing the measured field strength to the main control portion. The main control portion calculates relative position information of the vehicle to the smart key, based on the field strength information. On the basis of the relative position information, the main control portion controls the door of the vehicle to be locked or unlocked.

  • Patent number: 7692531
    Abstract: The present invention teaches a remote starting control system having a simple construction and being low in cost, that can be mounted on a vehicle having an immobilizing function. The system, which is mounted on a vehicle equipped with an immobilizer for capturing a code output in response to an insertion of an ignition key into a key cylinder and permitting an engine start when judging the captured code to be a unique code of the vehicle so as to control engine starting according to an instruction from a portable transmitter, comprises a device for storing a code in an EEPROM each time the code is supplied to a signal line, and a device for supplying the code stored in the EEPROM to the immobilizer when receiving a start instruction of the engine from the portable transmitter.

  • Patent number: 7649443
    Abstract: An antitheft apparatus includes a control section. When a status change from a closed state to an open state of a luggage door caused by regular means is detected in an arming state being ready to output an alarm, the control section shifts a status from the arming state to a disarmed state being not ready to output an alarm; when a status change from the open state to the closed state of the luggage door is detected in the disarmed state, the control section shifts the status from the disarmed state to the arming state after a predetermined length of preparatory period; and when an arming command to shift the status from the disarmed state to the arming state is given within the length of preparatory period, the control section shifts the status from the disarmed state to the arming state.

  • Patent number: 7514811
    Abstract: A remote control engine starting device includes an immobilizer and a remote engine starter for starting an engine when an engine start command is given from a remote location. The immobilizer further includes an interrogating signal outputting section, which outputs an interrogating signal when a signal related to engine starting is received, and an engine start permitting section, which gives engine start permission when a remote engine starter code that the remote engine starter outputs in response to the interrogating signal matches a remote engine starter verifying code preregistered in the immobilizer. The remote engine starter further includes an engine start signal outputting sections which outputs a signal related to engine starting and a code outputting section, which in response to the interrogating signal, outputs the remote engine starter code preregistered in the remote engine starter.
