  • Patent number: 11491953
    Abstract: A mobile device wirelessly communicates with a vehicle device. The mobile device includes a receiving unit, a response signal generation unit, a transmission unit, a charging unit, and a charge state determination unit. The receiving unit receives a response request signal transmitted from the vehicle device. The response signal generation unit generates a response signal in response to the response request signal. The transmission unit transmits the response signal. The charging unit charges a built-in battery with an electric power supplied wirelessly or through wire from a power supply device. The charge state determination unit determines whether the charging unit charges the built-in battery. The mobile device is configured not to transmit the response signal, in a situation where the charge state determination unit determines that the charging unit is charging the built-in battery.

  • Patent number: 10723315
    Abstract: Provided is an electronic key system for a vehicle. The electronic key system for a vehicle includes an in-vehicle device and a portable device and performs a predetermined control process on a vehicle on the basis of verification successfully made between the in-vehicle device and the portable device. When receiving a verification signal, the portable device transmits a response signal in accordance with the verification signal. When an operation detection unit detects a user operation, the portable device transmits an instruction signal for controlling a state of locking of a door of the vehicle. An output level of the response signal from the portable device is lower than an output level of the instruction signal.
