Abstract

A vehicle locking and unlocking control system, comprising: a lock trigger that is provided outside a vehicle and outputs an output signal when operated by a person; a vehicle side transmitter is configured to transmit a transmission request signal according to reception of the output signal output by the lock trigger; a mobile wireless terminal is configured to transmit a response signal according to reception of the transmission request signal transmitted by the vehicle side transmitter; a vehicle side receiver configured to receive the response signal transmitted by the mobile wireless terminal; a locking controller configured to determine whether or not the response signal received by the vehicle side receiver is suitable for a unique identification signal of the vehicle and output a lock signal on the basis of a result of the determination and the reception of the output signal output from the lock trigger; a door lock mechanism configured to lock a door according to the lock signal output by the locking controller; a first determiner configured to determine whether a driving source for driving the vehicle is in an on state or a power supply of the vehicle is in an on state; a second determiner configured to determine whether or not the mobile wireless terminal is outside the vehicle; a door state detector configured to detect an open state of the door; an alarm output unit configured to output an alarm; and an alarm controller configured to cause the alarm output unit to output an alarm after it is determined by the first determiner that the driving source of the vehicle is in an on state or the power supply of the vehicle is in an on state, the output signal output from the lock trigger has been received, and a predetermined period of time has elapsed from a time when it is determined by the second determiner that the mobile wireless terminal is outside the vehicle, and cause the alarm output unit not to output the alarm when it is detected by the door state detector that the door is in the open state before the predetermined period of time elapses.

Claims (14)

1. A vehicle locking and unlocking control system, comprising:

a lock trigger that is provided outside a vehicle and outputs an output signal when operated by a person;

a vehicle side transmitter is configured to transmit a transmission request signal according to reception of the output signal output by the lock trigger;

a mobile wireless terminal is configured to transmit a response signal according to reception of the transmission request signal transmitted by the vehicle side transmitter;

a vehicle side receiver configured to receive the response signal transmitted by the mobile wireless terminal;

a locking controller configured to determine whether or not the response signal received by the vehicle side receiver is suitable for a unique identification signal of the vehicle and output a lock signal on the basis of a result of the determination and the reception of the output signal output from the lock trigger;

a door lock mechanism configured to lock a door according to the lock signal output by the locking controller;

a first determiner configured to determine whether a driving source for driving the vehicle is in an on state or a power supply of the vehicle is in an on state;

a second determiner configured to determine whether or not the mobile wireless terminal is outside the vehicle;

a door state detector configured to detect an open state of the door;

an alarm output unit configured to output an alarm; and

an alarm controller configured to cause the alarm output unit to output an alarm after it is determined by the first determiner that the driving source of the vehicle is in an on state or the power supply of the vehicle is in an on state, the output signal output from the lock trigger has been received, and a predetermined period of time has elapsed from a time when it is determined by the second determiner that the mobile wireless terminal is outside the vehicle, and cause the alarm output unit not to output the alarm when it is detected by the door state detector that the door is in the open state before the predetermined period of time elapses.

2. The vehicle locking and unlocking control system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the lock trigger is provided in a door handle of the vehicle.
