Power door-lock system

A power door-lock system comprising

• circuitry configured to control door-lock of a vehicle, and acquire position data regarding a current position of the vehicle and regional security data for a geographic area including the current position of the vehicle, the regional security data including at least a count of vehicle-related theft cases for the geographic area,
• the circuitry being configured to:
• identify a risk level for the geographic area based on the position data and the regional security data;
• upon determining that a driver has exited the vehicle, determine a transition time based on the identified risk level;
• and
• upon expiration of the transition time, cause the door-lock controller to actuate the power door-lock.

A power door-lock system comprising:

• a door-lock controller configured to control door-lock of a vehicle;
• a current position data chip configured to acquire position data regarding a current position of the vehicle;
• a security data chip configured to acquire security data regarding a region including the current position of the vehicle;
• a security situation chip configured to identify a security situation of the current position of the vehicle based on the position data and the security data;
• a key position detector chip;
• and
• a key position identifier chip, wherein
• the power door-lock system is configured to determine, based on the security situation identified by the security situation chip, transition time from a door-unlocked state of the vehicle after a determination that a driver of the vehicle has got off to power door-lock, and allow the door-lock controller to make the power door-lock after an elapse of the transition time,
• the vehicle includes key devices,
• the key position detector chip is configured to detect respective positions of the key devices,
• the key position identifier chip is configured to identify key position data detected by the key position detector chip, and
• the power door-lock system is configured to, when the key position identifier chip identifies a first one of the key devices as being located outside the vehicle, make the power door-lock despite that the key position identifier chip identifies a second one of the key devices as being located inside the vehicle, the second one of the key devices being different from the first one of the key devices.
