Abstract
A remote operation apparatus controls a vehicle based on an operation signal transmitted from a portable terminal of a user through a service center. A time comparing part compares a first reception time, at which the service center receives the operation signal from the portable terminal, with an operation time at which the user performs a remote operation. A discarding part discards the operation signal when a difference between the reception time and the operation time, as a result of a comparison by the time comparing part, is equal to or longer than a predetermined time period.
Claims12
A remote operation apparatus for controlling a vehicle based on an operation signal transmitted from a portable terminal of a user through a service center, said remote operation apparatus comprising:
- a time comparing part that compares a first reception time, at which said service center receives the operation signal from said portable terminal, with an operation time at which said user performs a remote operation;
- and
- a discarding part that discards the operation signal when a difference between said reception time and said operation time, as a result of a comparison by said time comparing part, is equal to or longer than a predetermined time period.
A remote operation apparatus for controlling a vehicle based on an operation signal transmitted from a portable terminal of a user through a service center, the remote operation apparatus sends to said user a timeout notification indicating that an operation of said user was timeout when a predetermined time period is longer than a timeout period, where said predetermined time period is one of or a sum of two or more of:
- a) a time period for processing the operation signal in said service center;
- b) a time period from a signal transmission time at which said service center transmits the operation signal to said vehicle and until a time at which said vehicle receives the operation signal;
- c) a time period for processing the operation signal by said vehicle;
- and
- d) a time period from a completion notification time at which said vehicle sends a notification signal indicating a completion of a control of an in-vehicle device and until a time at which said service center receives the notification signal.
A service center that relays and transmits an operation signal, which is transmitted from a portable terminal used by a user, to a vehicle, the service center comprising a discarding part that discards the operation signal when the operation signal does not reach said vehicle.
A service center that relays and transmits an operation signal, which is transmitted from a portable terminal used by a user, to a vehicle, the service center sends to said user a timeout notification indicating that an operation of said user was timeout when a predetermined time period is longer than a timeout period, where said predetermined time period is one of or a sum of two or more of:
- a) a time period for processing the operation signal in said service center;
- b) a time period from a signal transmission time at which said service center transmits the operation signal to said vehicle and until a time at which said vehicle receives the operation signal;
- c) a time period for processing the operation signal by said vehicle;
- and
- d) a time period from a completion notification time at which said vehicle sends a notification signal indicating a completion of a control of an in-vehicle device and until a time at which said service center receives the notification signal.
