  • Patent number: 7529602
    Abstract: The vehicle-installed remote control unit includes a receiver receiving a command signal transmitted from a transmitter dedicated to a vehicle, and a controller controlling a part of the vehicle in accordance with the command signal received by the receiver. The controller has a noise-decision function of deciding whether or not a signal received by the receiver is a noise, a record function of recording noise information including at least information specifying a time at which the signal received by the receiver is decided to be the noise by the noise-decision function in a memory included in the controller, and an output function of outputting the noise information recorded in the memory to an external device in response to a command received from the external device.

  • Publication number: 20060109139
    Abstract: In a keyless entry system for a vehicle, an in-vehicle device controls door-lock or door-unlock according to a remote-controlling wireless signal from a transmitter. The in-vehicle device determines whether a demodulated signal compliant with a communications rule is obtained from the received wireless signal, and then whether authentication data included in the received wireless signal accords with that stored in the vehicle. The in-vehicle device stores a result of the determination as an analysis result of received electric waves. When a read-out request is received from a diagnosis tool, the stored analysis result is thereby outputted to the diagnosis tool. Based on the outputted analysis result, it is determined whether a cause of non-operation abnormality is a transmitting function of the transmitter or a receiving function of the in-vehicle device.

  • Publication number: 20050191966
    Abstract: The receiver includes an antenna for receiving a radio wave transmitted from a communication target, a demodulator extracting a baseband signal from the radio wave received by the antenna, and a filter device for low-pass filtering the baseband signal extracted by the demodulator. The filter device is configured to vary a cut-off frequency thereof in accordance with a command signal received from outside the receiver.

  • Patent number: 5767588
    Abstract: To provide a wireless vehicle control system having a compact receiver with small current consumption, a receiver includes a receiving circuit for receiving a modulated command signal from a transmitter, a demodulation circuit for demodulating and outputting the received command signal, and a power source control circuit for starting and stopping supply of power to the receiving circuit and the demodulation circuit. A control device in the system includes a CPU for issuing to the power source control circuit a signal instructing a start of supply of power, for subsequently discriminating the control signal received from the demodulation circuit and outputting a drive signal in accordance with a discrimination result thereof, and thereafter, for issuing to the power source control circuit a signal instructing a stop of supply of power; a drive circuit for receiving the drive signal and causing a door lock motor to be operated; and a power source supply circuit for constantly supplying power to the CPU.
