Abstract
A vehicle control system including a position confirmation device or a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a vehicle control program detects an occurrence of a predetermined confirmation event, transmits a confirmation request message, receives the message transmitted from the position confirmation device, converts a request content indicated in the received message into a content corresponding to a function of an own device, performs position confirmation, and transmits a result notification message.
Claims12
A vehicle control system comprising:
- a plurality of position confirmation devices configured to perform position confirmation of a target registered in advance for each device in a different way;
- and
- a central control device configured to execute an application related to vehicle control based on signals from the plurality of position confirmation devices,
- wherein
- the central control device is configured to
- detect an occurrence of a predetermined confirmation event based on the signals from an in-vehicle sensor;
- and
- transmit a common confirmation request message indicating a request content to the plurality of position confirmation devices based on detection of the confirmation event,
- the plurality of position confirmation devices are configured to:
- receive the confirmation request message transmitted from the central control device;
- convert a request content indicated in the received confirmation request message into a content corresponding to a function of an own device;
- perform the position confirmation in a mode according to the request content;
- and
- transmit a result notification message indicating a result of the position confirmation back to the central control device, and
- the central control device is configured to determine whether to execute the vehicle control based on the result notification message returned from the plurality of position confirmation devices.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a vehicle control program including instructions causing a computer, which is connected to a plurality of position confirmation devices configured to perform position confirmation of a target registered in advance for each device in a different way, to:
- detect an occurrence of a predetermined confirmation event based on signals from an in-vehicle sensor;
- transmit a common confirmation request message indicating a desired request content to the plurality of position confirmation devices based on detection of the confirmation event;
- receive a result notification message indicating a result of the position confirmation based on the confirmation request message from the plurality of position confirmation devices;
- and
- determine whether to perform vehicle control according to the detected confirmation event based on the result notification message returned from the plurality of position confirmation devices.
A position confirmation device configured to:
- perform position confirmation of a target registered in advance based on an instruction signal from a central control device configured to execute an application related to vehicle control;
- receive a confirmation request message indicating a request content for the position confirmation from the central control device;
- convert a request content indicated in the received confirmation request message into a content according to a function of an own device;
- execute the position confirmation in a manner according to the request content;
- and
- transmit a result notification message indicating a result of the position confirmation back to the central control device.
