Abstract
A vehicle status monitoring apparatus monitors a vehicle status in which it is possible to control an engine to stop the engine in a case where the vehicle status satisfies first conditions and a user operation satisfies second conditions. The vehicle status monitoring apparatus calculates level information indicative of an amount of occurrence of a state in which the user operation does not satisfy the second conditions while the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions. A user is informed of the calculated level information.
Claims17
A vehicle status monitoring apparatus for monitoring a vehicle status in which it is possible to control an engine to stop the engine in a case where the vehicle status satisfies first conditions and a user operation satisfies second conditions, the apparatus comprising:
- a first judging part that judges whether the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions;
- a second judging part that judges whether the user operation satisfies the second conditions;
- a calculation part that calculates level information indicative of an amount of occurrence of a state in which the user operation does not satisfy the second conditions while the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions;
- and
- a controller that controls an informing apparatus to inform a user of the level information.
An engine control system that is capable of controlling an engine to stop the engine, the system comprising:
- a first judging part that judges whether a vehicle status satisfies first conditions;
- a second judging part that judges whether a user operation satisfies second conditions;
- a first controller that stops the engine in a case where the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions and the user operation satisfies the second conditions;
- a calculation part that calculates level information indicative of an amount of occurrence of a state in which the user operation does not satisfy the second conditions while the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions;
- and
- a second controller that controls an informing apparatus to inform a user of the level information.
A vehicle status monitoring method of monitoring a vehicle status in which it is possible to control an engine to stop the engine in a case where a vehicle status satisfies first conditions and a user operation satisfies second conditions, the method comprising the steps of:
- judging whether the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions;
- judging whether the user operation satisfies the second conditions;
- calculating level information indicative of an amount of occurrence of a state in which the user operation does not satisfy the second conditions while the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions;
- and
- controlling an informing apparatus to inform a user of the level information.
