Control system, in-vehicle device and electronic key
A control system includes: an in-vehicle device; and electronic key, wherein the in-vehicle device includes a transmission device, a first operation detection device, and a first control device programmed to determine whether the electronic key is a control target electronic key, the electronic key used to perform a locking operation, and transmit a second signal from the transmission device toward the electronic key when it is determined that the electronic key used to perform the locking operation is the control target electronic key, and the electronic key includes a reception device, and a second control device programmed to set a first mode until the reception device receives the second signal, and set a second mode when the reception device receives the second signal.
1. A control system comprising:
at least one electronic key; and
an in-vehicle device mounted in a vehicle, the in-vehicle device including:
a transmission device configured to transmit a first signal and a second signal to the electronic key,
a first operation detection device configured to detect an operation of locking a door of the vehicle, and
a first control device programmed to:
determine whether the electronic key is a control target electronic key determined in advance, the electronic key being used to perform a locking operation detected by the first operation detection device, and
in response to determining that the electronic key used to perform the locking operation is the control target electronic key, transmit the second signal from the transmission device to the electronic key determined as the control target electronic key, wherein:
the electronic key includes:
a reception device configured to receive the first signal and the second signal from the in-vehicle device, and
a second control device programmed to (i) set a first mode until the reception device receives the second signal, and (ii) set a second mode when the reception device receives the second signal, the first mode being an operating state configured to perform a process of receiving the first signal, the second mode being an operating state configured to not perform the process of receiving the first signal, and in the second mode, the electronic key is configured to shut off supply of electric power to a circuit that performs a standby process for the first signal transmitted from the in-vehicle device.
2. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein the in-vehicle device further includes a storage device configured to store, in advance, the control target electronic key to which the in-vehicle device transmits the second signal.
3. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the electronic key further includes a second operation detection device configured to detect a predetermined key operation performed on the electronic key, and
the second control device is programmed to set the operating state to the first mode when the second operation detection device detects the predetermined key operation.
4. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first signal and the second signal is transmitted through low-frequency communication.
5. An electronic key comprising:
a reception device configured to receive a first signal and a second signal from an in-vehicle device mounted in a vehicle; and
a control device programmed to set:
a first mode until the reception device receives the second signal, the first mode being an operating state configured to perform a process of receiving the first signal transmitted from the in-vehicle device, and
a second mode when the reception device receives the second signal, the second mode being an operating state configured to not perform the process of receiving the first signal, and in the second mode, the electronic key is configured to shut off supply of electric power to a circuit that performs a standby process for the first signal transmitted from the in-vehicle device.
