Patent number: 8791637Abstract: A turn signal device for a vehicle for activating a turn signal in accordance with operation of an operation lever. The turn signal device includes a turning state detection unit, which detects a turning state of the vehicle. The turning state detection unit monitors a temporal change in the turning state of the vehicle after the turn signal is activated. The turning state detection unit deactivates the turning signal when detecting that the vehicle first turns in an activation direction of the turn signal, then turns in a direction opposite to the activation direction, and afterward turns again in the activation direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2010Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai Rika Denki SeisakushoInventors: Takahiro Shimizu, Takao Imai, Takashi Ieda, Syogo Yamaguchi, Kozo Nishimura

Publication number: 20140200757Abstract: An onboard system includes a switch arranged on a vehicle at a location allowing for a user to operate the switch from outside the vehicle. A control unit allows for a vehicle power supply to be switched OFF if an operation performed on the switch is detected when a power supply plug is connected to a charge inlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Inventors: Isshu KOJIMA, Akihito KIMURA, Tadayuki TOBIMATSU, Keiji YAMAMOTO, Takashi IEDA

Publication number: 20140179141Abstract: A plug lock device that allows for a power plug fitted to an inlet to be switched between a lock state and an unlock state. The plug lock device includes a communication unit capable of communicating with the power plug and a control unit configured to identify the power plug fitted to the inlet based on the communication performed by the communication unit. The control unit is operable based on the identification of the power plug in a lock restriction mode that restricts switching of the power plug to the lock state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI RIKA DENKI SEISAKUSHOInventors: Isshu KOJIMA, Akihito KIMURA, Tadayuki TOBIMATSU, Keiji YAMAMOTO, Takashi IEDA

Publication number: 20140167695Abstract: A lock device locks a locking subject to a power port. The lock device is provided with a lock mechanism including a lock member that is movable between a lock position and an unlock position. The lock mechanism moves the lock member to the lock position to lock the locking subject and moves the lock member to the unlock position to unlock the locking subject. A location registration unit registers, as a registered location, a location where switching of the locking subject between a lock state and an unlock state is prohibited or permitted. A location acquisition unit acquires a present location of the lock device. A switching control unit compares the present location with the registered location and controls the lock mechanism based on the comparison to switch the locking subject between the lock state and the unlock state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI RIKA DENKI SEISAKUSHOInventors: Takahiro SHIMIZU, Akihito KIMURA, Keiji YAMAMOTO, Takashi IEDA, Tadayuki TOBIMATSU

Publication number: 20140170880Abstract: A lock system includes a lock device arranged in at least a vehicle. The lock device includes a lock member movable between a lock position and an unlock position. The lock device locks a lock subject to the vehicle when the lock member is located at the lock position and unlocks the lock subject when the lock member is located at the unlock position. A controller, which performs power line communication, includes a request output unit that transmits an operation request to the lock device by performing the power line communication to switch the lock subject between a locked state and an unlocked state. The lock device includes a lock control unit that receives the operation request from the controller and controls movement of the lock member based on the operation request.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI RIKA DENKI SEISAKUSHOInventors: Yosuke DOI, Akihito KIMURA, Tadayuki TOBIMATSU, Keiji YAMAMOTO, Takashi IEDA

Publication number: 20140167915Abstract: A lock device locks a locking subject to restrict removal of a charge cable from a power port of a vehicle or restrict access of the charge cable to the power port). The lock device includes a verification request unit that requests for wireless communication verification including vehicle interior verification to be executed on an electronic key when detecting an event that initiates the wireless communication verification. A control unit controls at least one of locking and unlocking of the locking subject based on a result of the wireless communication verification.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI RIKA DENKI SEISAKUSHOInventors: Kensuke TAMADA, Akihito KIMURA, Tadayuki TOBIMATSU, Keiji YAMAMOTO, Takashi IEDA, Koichi KOJIMA

Publication number: 20140159857Abstract: A verification result holding unit holds a result of ID verification performed on an electronic key through wireless communication. When an operation control unit detects an operation request signal for a lock mechanism, the operation control unit permits operation of the lock mechanism as long as the verification result holding unit holds a result indicating ID verification accomplishment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2013Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI RIKA DENKI SEISAKUSHOInventors: Takashi IEDA, Kazuhito YARAGAMI, Koichi KOJIMA

Patent number: 8242898Abstract: A turn signal illumination controller monitors the lateral movement distance of a vehicle from when a turn switch lever is operated so as to illuminate a turn signal indicator. When the lateral movement distance is greater than or equal to a threshold value indicating completion of lane changing, the turn signal illumination controller cancels the turn signal indicator.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai Rika Denki SeisakushoInventors: Takashi Ieda, Takao Imai, Kozo Nishimura, Syogo Yamaguchi, Takahiro Shimizu
