Vehicle-mounted device, waiting time management method, and waiting time management program

1. A vehicle-mounted device comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the vehicle-mounted device to function as:

a waiting time determination unit, as part of the processor, which is configured to determine a waiting time until the vehicle-mounted device transitions from a power-on state where a service providing function is performed to a power saving state where the service providing function is stopped while an engine of a vehicle is stopped; and

a state transition unit, as part of the processor, which is configured to shift the vehicle-mounted device from the power-on state to the power saving state after the waiting time has elapsed since stopping of the engine of the vehicle,

wherein the waiting time determination unit is configured to change the waiting time from a waiting time when the engine was stopped previous to this engine stop.

2. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 1 , wherein the waiting time determination unit is configured to randomly determine the waiting time.

3. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the vehicle-mounted device to further function as:

a determination information acquisition unit which is configured to acquire determination information regarding the vehicle of which the engine has been stopped,

wherein the waiting time determination unit is configured to determine the waiting time on the basis of the determination information.

4. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 3 , wherein

the determination information includes information of a number of restarts of the engine of the vehicle within a predetermined determination time, and

the waiting time determination unit is configured to determine the waiting time to become longer than the waiting time when the engine was stopped previous to this engine stop in a case where the number of restarts is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times of determination.

5. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 4 , wherein the waiting time determination unit is configured to return the waiting time to a waiting time before a change to the determined waiting time after a predetermined application time has elapsed since the change.

6. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 4 , wherein the waiting time determination unit is configured to return the waiting time to a waiting time before a change to the determined waiting time after a transition from the power-on state to the power saving state has been performed a predetermined number of times of application after the change.

7. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 3 , wherein

the determination information includes information of a predetermined position, and

the waiting time determination unit is configured to determine the waiting time to become longer than the waiting time when the engine was stopped previous to this engine stop in a case where a current position of the vehicle is the predetermined position.

8. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 3 , wherein

the determination information includes information of a predetermined time slot, and

the waiting time determination unit is configured to determine the waiting time to become longer than the waiting time when the engine was stopped previous to this engine stop in a case where a current time is included in the predetermined time slot.

9. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 3 , wherein

the determination information includes information of an acceleration and an angular velocity of the vehicle, and

the waiting time determination unit is configured to determine the waiting time so that the waiting time does not elapse until a condition that the acceleration and the angular velocity are continuously equal to or less than predetermined threshold values for a predetermined period of time is satisfied.

10. A waiting time management method for a vehicle-mounted device comprising a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the vehicle-mounted device to execute the steps of:

a waiting time determination step of determining a waiting time until a vehicle-mounted device transitions from a power-on state where a service providing function is performed to a power saving state where the service providing function is stopped while an engine of a vehicle is stopped; and

a state shifting step of shifting the vehicle-mounted device from the power-on state to the power saving state after the waiting time has elapsed since stopping of the engine of the vehicle,

wherein the waiting time determination step includes changing the waiting time from a waiting time when the engine was stopped previous to this engine stop.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a waiting time management program causing a computer of a vehicle-mounted device to function as:

a waiting time determination unit which is configured to determine a waiting time until the vehicle-mounted device transitions from a power-on state where a service providing function is performed to a power saving state where the service providing function is stopped while an engine of a vehicle is stopped; and

a state transition unit which is configured to shift the vehicle-mounted device from the power-on state to the power saving state after the waiting time has elapsed since stopping of the engine of the vehicle,

wherein the waiting time determination unit is configured to change the waiting time from a waiting time when the engine was stopped previous to this engine stop.
