Abstract: An opening/closing body control device continues an as-needed operation where the opening/closing body is controlled in response to the operation instruction signal even when an abnormality in an opening/closing position of the opening/closing body is detected, continues opening and closing the opening/closing body until it is determined that the abnormal state in the opening/closing instruction signal is confirmed even when an abnormality in the opening/closing instruction signal is detected during the as-needed opening/closing operation, and stops opening and closing the opening/closing body the abnormal state in the opening/closing instruction signal is confirmed. The confirmation time at the presence of the opening/closing position abnormality is shorter than that at the absence of opening/closing position abnormality.

Abstract: A vehicle control device performs predetermined control on a vehicle by communicating with a portable device held by a user. The Vehicle control device includes: a living body sensor that detects whether or not a living body is present in the vehicle by acquiring biological information of the living body; an output device that outputs an alarm; and an alarm output determination unit that determines the alarm to be output by the output device by detecting the presence of the living body in the vehicle by the living body sensor and satisfying a predetermined condition for outputting the alarm. When the portable device and the vehicle control device communicate with each other after the alarm is output by the output device, the output device stops outputting the alarm.

Abstract: An electric power is surely supplied to a load even if an abnormality is generated in a switching control circuit, which controls a switching part that switches electric connection between a power supply and the load of a vehicle. The switching control circuit controls a state of a contact of a keep relay that switches the electric connection between the power supply and the load. A monitor circuit monitors existence or non-existence of the abnormality of the switching control circuit. When detecting the abnormality of the switching control circuit, the monitor circuit transmits a reset signal in order to reset a state of the switching control circuit. When receiving the reset signal from the monitor circuit, an abnormal-time connection circuit transmits a connection signal to a coil of the keep relay to bring a movable contact into contact with a contact. For example, the present invention can be applied to a power-supply control device for the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle control device that is mounted on a vehicle including an engine has a portable key existence checking part that checks whether a portable key that can remotely control the vehicle exists in the vehicle. The portable key existence checking part stops the checking whether the portable key exists in the vehicle, when the portable key existence checking part detects an operation to cause the engine to start automatically during the checking whether the portable key exists in the vehicle, in an idling stop/start operation in which the engine is caused to stop automatically when a predetermined automatic stopping condition holds while the engine is caused to start automatically when a predetermined automatic starting condition holds.

Abstract: Power consumption of a relay that switches electric connection between a power supply and a load of a vehicle is suppressed. When receiving a disconnection instruction signal from a control circuit, a disconnection circuit transmits a disconnection signal to a coil of a keep relay, and brings a movable contact into contact with a contact to electrically disconnect the power supply from the load. When receiving a connection instruction signal from the control circuit, a connection circuit transmits a connection signal to a coil of the keep relay, and brings the movable contact into contact with a contact to electrically connect the power supply to the load. An automatic stopping circuit stops the connection signal output from the connection circuit using a voltage or a current supplied from the keep relay to the load. For example, the present invention can be applied to a power-supply control device for the vehicle.

Abstract: Power to a load may be continued even if abnormality occurs in a load current value supplied to the relevant load of a vehicle. Load control units supply power from a battery to corresponding loads, respectively, and detect load current values. A power source management unit detects a total current value, based on the load current values detected by the load control units. Where the load control unit in which the load current value exceeds a load current threshold is present, when the total current value exceeds a total current threshold, the power source management unit causes the supply of the power from the relevant load control unit to the load to be stopped. When the total current value is equal to or lower than the total current threshold, the power source management unit continues the supply of the power from the relevant load control unit to the load.
