Abstract
A vehicle control device that is configured to control a vehicle power source, the vehicle control device includes a processor configured to: acquire input information of an operating switch configured to transition on and off states of the vehicle power source; accept a forbidding request from one or more electronic control units installed in the vehicle, the forbidding request being a request to forbid the vehicle power source from being turned to an on state; control the on and off states of the vehicle power source; and when the forbidding request is made in an off state of the vehicle power source, forbid the vehicle power source from being turned to the on state in response to an operation input to the operating switch.
Claims7
A vehicle control device that is configured to control a vehicle power source, the vehicle control device comprising a processor configured to:
- acquire input information of an operating switch configured to transition on and off states of the vehicle power source;
- accept a forbidding request from one or more electronic control units installed in the vehicle, the forbidding request being a request to forbid the vehicle power source from being turned to an on state and being continuously transmitted from the one or more electronic control units while transition of the vehicle power source to the on state is prohibited;
- control the on and off states of the vehicle power source;
- and
- when the forbidding request is made in an off state of the vehicle power source, forbid the vehicle power source from being turned to the on state in response to an operation input to the operating switch.
A vehicle control method for controlling a vehicle power source, the vehicle control method comprising:
- acquiring input information of an operating switch configured to transition on and off states of the vehicle power source;
- accepting a forbidding request from one or more electronic control units installed in a vehicle, the forbidding request being a request to forbid the vehicle power source from being turned to an on state and being continuously transmitted from the one or more electronic control units while transition of the vehicle power source to the on state is prohibited;
- and
- when the forbidding request is made in an off state of the vehicle power source, forbidding the vehicle power source from being turned to the on state in response to an operation input to the operating switch.
A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors and that cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising:
- acquiring input information of an operating switch configured to transition on and off states of a vehicle power source;
- accepting a forbidding request from one or more electronic control units installed in a vehicle, the forbidding request being a request to forbid the vehicle power source from being turned to an on state and being continuously transmitted from the one or more electronic control units while transition of the vehicle power source to the on state is prohibited;
- and
- when the forbidding request is made in an off state of the vehicle power source, forbidding the vehicle power source from being turned to the on state in response to an operation input to the operating switch.
