  • Publication number: 20030036415
    Abstract: When a microcomputer of an electronic control unit determines that an ACC switch undergoes OFF-ON shift, the mobile telephone is controlled to shift the power supply state from the power supply OFF to the power supply ON. If the time passing after the ACC switch undergoes the OFF-ON shift is within a certain period of time, the mobile telephone is controlled to maintain the power supply OFF state. Therefore, even when the ACC switch is turned on and off repeatedly, it is prevented that the power supply of the mobile telephone is turned on and off repeatedly in connection with the repetition of the ON/OFF of the ACC switch.
