Abstract
A vehicle remote starting apparatus includes a control device that starts an engine when the control device has set a registration flag and the control device receives an engine starting signal from an external device, which is apart from the vehicle remote starting apparatus. When the vehicle remote starting apparatus is mounted on a vehicle, the control device executes registration process for setting the registration flag, which allows the control device to start the engine when the control device receives the engine starting signal.
Claims16
A vehicle remote starting apparatus for use with a vehicle having an engine, comprising:
- an external device that generates an engine starting signal;
- and
- a control device that starts the engine when the control device has set a registration flag and the control device receives the engine starting signal from the external device, the external device being seperate from the control device, wherein:
- when the control device is mounted on the vehicle, the control device executes an initial registration process for setting the registration flag, which allows the control device to start the engine when the control device receives the engine starting signal.
A vehicle remote starting system comprising:
- a signal transmission unit that transmits an engine starting signal;
- and
- a control device that starts an engine when the control device has set a registration flag and the control device receives the engine starting signal from the signal transmission unit, the control device being separate from the signal transmission unit wherein:
- when the control device is mounted on a vehicle, the control device executes an initial registration process for setting the registration flag, which allows the control device to start the engine when the control device receives the engine starting signal.
A method for executing a registration process for initially setting a registration flag, which allows a control device to start an engine when the control device receives an engine starting signal from an external device, the method comprising:
- checking changing of a signal input from a vehicle;
- and
- when the signal input from the vehicle changes, setting the registration flag.
A control device which is configured to start an engine of a vehicle when a registration flag is set and an engine starting signal is received from an external device which is separated from the control device,
- wherein when the control device is mounted on the vehicle, the control device executes an initial registration process for setting the registration flag, which allows the control device to start the engine when the engine starting signal is received.
