Abstract
A vehicular communication device is configured to specify a current position of a vehicle, determine whether the current position of the vehicle is inside or outside a specific area in which use of a radio wave in a predetermined frequency band is permitted, periodically transmit information on the radio wave in response to determining that the current position of the vehicle is inside the specific area, and stop transmission of the radio wave in response to determining that the current position of the vehicle is outside the specific area.
Claims9
A vehicular communication device to be used for a vehicle, comprising:
- a transmission controller configured to periodically transmit information on a radio wave in a predetermined frequency band;
- a position specifier configured to specify a current position of the vehicle;
- an inside-outside determiner configured to determine whether the current position of the vehicle specified by the position specifier is inside or outside a specific area in which use of the radio wave is permitted, wherein
- the transmission controller is further configured:
- not to stop transmission of the radio wave in response to that the inside-outside determiner determines that the current position of the vehicle is inside the specific area;
- and
- to stop transmission of the radio wave in response to that the inside-outside determiner determines that the current position of the vehicle is outside the specific area.
A communication method to be used for a vehicle, comprising:
- specifying a current position of the vehicle;
- determining whether the current position of the vehicle is inside or outside a specific area in which use of a radio wave in a predetermined frequency band is permitted;
- periodically transmitting information on the radio wave in response to determining that the current position of the vehicle is inside the specific area;
- and
- stopping transmission of the radio wave in response to determining that the current position of the vehicle is outside the specific area.
A control program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and comprising instructions configured to, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- specify a current position of a vehicle;
- determine whether the current position of the vehicle is inside or outside a specific area in which use of a radio wave in a predetermined frequency band is permitted;
- periodically transmit information on the radio wave in response to determining that the current position of the vehicle is inside the specific area;
- and
- stop transmission of the radio wave in response to determining that the current position of the vehicle is outside the specific area.
