Vehicle control device

A vehicle control device comprising:

• a carry-in state determination device that determines whether a portable terminal device to be carried into a vehicle is already carried into the vehicle;
• a pending process determination device that, when the carry-in state determination device determines that the portable terminal device is already carried into the vehicle, determines whether the portable terminal device has a pending process that is held in an unexecuted state;
• and
• a pending process control device that, when the pending process determination device determines that the portable terminal device has the pending process, enables the pending process to be executed by the portable terminal device in the vehicle;
• a traveling state acquisition device that acquires a traveling state of the vehicle;
• a duration acquisition device that acquires a duration during which the traveling state acquired by the traveling state acquisition device is continued;
• and
• a required time acquisition device that acquires a required time required for the execution of the pending process, wherein:
• the pending process control device enables the execution of the pending process when the pending process determination device determines that the portable terminal device has the pending process, and the required time acquired by the required time acquisition device is shorter than the duration acquired by the duration acquisition device.
