Abstract
An information processing apparatus controls a vehicle having a communication function related to remote operation that is configured to be switched to off mode when a first period of time elapses after an internal combustion engine has stopped operating. The information processing apparatus has a controller configured to execute an auto-start process. The auto-start process is the process of sending a start command for causing the internal combustion engine to operate for a specified period of time when a second period of time that is shorter than the first period of time elapses after the internal combustion engine has stopped operating.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus for controlling a vehicle having a communication function related to remote operation that is switched to off mode in response to a first period of time elapses after an internal combustion engine has stopped operating, comprising a controller including at least one processor,
- the controller configured to execute an auto-start process, the auto start-process being the process of sending a start command for causing the internal combustion engine to operate for a specified period of time in response to a second period of time that is shorter than the first period of time elapses after the internal combustion engine has stopped operating.
An information processing method for controlling a vehicle having a communication function related to remote operation that is switched to off mode in response to a first period of time elapses after an internal combustion engine has stopped operating, comprising executing an auto-start process by a computer,
- the auto-start process being the process of sending a start command for causing the internal combustion engine to operate for a specified period of time in response to a second period of time that is shorter than the first period of time elapses after the internal combustion engine has stopped operating.
