  • Patent number: 8682253
    Abstract: The invention provides a radio communication system allowing a user to readily set a delay time. The controller determines whether the test button was depressed and then determines how long the test button has been kept depressed. The depressed time is set as a delay time and stored in a memory. After a lapse of the set delay time, the controller starts a communication with a master unit, determines whether the installation site of the slave unit 10 is appropriate and notifies the determination. If a normal communication is recognized from the determination result, the user decides to install the slave unit to the tested installation site and terminates the test.

  • Patent number: 8041337
    Abstract: When a service providing server receives, from a mobile phone or the like owned by a user, a request to modify a parameter defining the performance of a control device provided in an automobile, the service providing server transmits a requested modification command to the control device. The control device modifies the parameter thereof in accordance with the modification command received from the service providing server. Further, the service providing server records a history of the modification command having been transmitted on a user-by-user basis, and settles an account of the user every predetermined period of time, by requesting the user to pay a fee for the modification. Thus, a service provider is able to charge the user for modifying various parameters defining performance of the control device.
