Abstract: A processing apparatus is mounted on a to-be-equipped body, transmits/receives signals to/from a portable transmitter portably carried by a user, and activates one of functions provided in the to-be-equipped body in accordance with instruction information included in an instruction signal transmitted from the portable transmitter. The processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a transmitting unit, a judgment unit, a control unit, and an adjustment unit. The receiving unit receives the instruction signal transmitted from the portable transmitter. The transmitting unit transmits a response signal. The judgment unit judges whether or not an acknowledgement signal has been received from the portable transmitter. The control unit activates a function to be activated by the instruction information when the judgment unit concludes that the acknowledgement signal has been received.

Abstract: A key lock-in prevention system has a warning of a failure to remove a key properly given to a driver when the driver has forgotten to remove the ignition key. When such warning is not required, it is possible to give no warning, wherein no warning of a failure to remove a key is given to the driver when the ignition key is inserted into the key cylinder during the driver's seat side door's open state, even if three conditions, that is, the ignition key is inserted in the key cylinder (Condition 1), the driver's seat side door is open (Condition 2) and the ignition switch is in the off state (Condition 3) are met at the same time.

Abstract: A remote starting control apparatus is installed in a vehicle incorporating an immobilizer section for inputting a key code output based on insertion of an ignition key into a key cylinder, and when determining that the input key code is a predetermined key code, enabling an engine to be started. The remote starting control apparatus performs starting control of the engine in response to an instruction from a portable transmitter. It includes comparing two or more key codes output from an immobi amplifier in response to two or more key code output requests, thereby determining the key code to be stored in EEPROM from among the key codes, storing the determined key code in the EEPROM, and supplying the key code stored in the EEPROM to the immobilizer section upon reception or a start command of the engine by remote operation.

Abstract: There is provided a vehicle theft prevention device including a navigation device to detect the position of a vehicle on the earth, a security device to detect that the vehicle has been stolen, and an automobile telephone to transmit the position of the vehicle to a monitoring center after the detection of the theft of the vehicle. When the security device does not detect the theft of the vehicle, a position of the vehicle periodically detected by the navigation device is stored in a memory of the security device. When the theft of the vehicle is detected by the security device, the latest information of the vehicle stored in this memory is transmitted to the monitoring center by the automobile telephone, and the monitoring center can immediately determine the theft and the position of the stolen vehicle.

Abstract: A remote start-up control apparatus which takes in a key code outputted on the basis of insertion of a key cylinder of an ignition key, and which is mounted on a vehicle which was equipped with an immobilizer unit for enabling a start-up of an engine, in case that it was judged that the taken-in key code is in conformity with a predetermined key code, and which carries out start-up control of an engine in response to an instruction of a portable transmitter, has a unit for supplying a key code which has been stored in an EEPROM to the immobilizer, when it received a start-up instruction of the engine according to a remote operation, and a unit for prohibiting supply of the key code, in case that there occurred vehicle theft.

Abstract: A system for remotely controlling the doors of an automotive vehicle with a reduced number of transmitters to be held and a reduced number of buttons of the transmitters is disclosed. The transmitter has a lock button and an unlock button. Upon depression of the lock button or the unlock button, a corresponding demand signal is transmitted repeatedly. The demand signal includes an ID code, a button code and a time code. The button code indicates the identification of the lock button or the unlock button. The time code indicates whether a button has been kept depressed for at least a predetermined length of time or the number of times the button is depressed. The receiver controls the door lock/unlock operation and the door open/close operation based on the button code and the time code. The time code can be replaced with a number-of-times code indicating the number of times a button is depressed.

Abstract: A transmission code 15 consisting of a transmitter ID code 16 and a operation switch control code 17 is transmitted through actuation of operation switches A and B of a transmitter 1. In a program mode of a receiver 4, a function selection code corresponding to the thus-received transmitter ID code is entered by utilization of courtesy switches 26 and 27 mounted on doors, and the thus-entered function selection code is set in a first memory location 37 in a rewritable manner. In an operation mode of the receiver 4, when a match exists between the transmitter ID code transmitted from the transmitter 1 and the contents of the first memory location 37, a function selection code is read. Operation information corresponding to the control code is read from the second memory location 38, and the operations of the lock mechanisms 5, 6, and 7 are controlled on the basis of the operation information.
