Vehicle state presentation system, vehicle, terminal device, and vehicle state presentation method
A terminal device separate from a vehicle includes a receiver that receives a notification signal from the vehicle indicating that the vehicle is in a first state different from a second state, a notification unit that notifies a user of the terminal device of the first state based on the notification signal, an input unit that receives, from the user of the terminal device, an input commanding the first state to be maintained, and a transmitter that transmits a signal to the vehicle based on the input received by the input unit. The vehicle includes a control unit that performs control that maintains the first state after lapse of a predetermined time from a time that the notification unit of the terminal device notifies of the first state of the vehicle when a reception unit of the vehicle receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time.
1. A vehicle state presentation system comprising:
a vehicle; and
a terminal device that is separate from the vehicle and that includes (i) a receiver that receives a notification signal from the vehicle which indicates that the vehicle is in a first state which is different from a second state, (ii) a notification unit that notifies a user of the terminal device of the first state of the vehicle based on the notification signal, (iii) an input unit that receives, from the user of the terminal device, an input which commands the first state to be maintained, and (iv) a transmitter that transmits a signal to the vehicle based on the input received by the input unit,
wherein the vehicle includes a control unit that
performs control that maintains the first state after lapse of a predetermined time from a time that the notification unit of the terminal device notifies of the first state of the vehicle when a reception unit of the vehicle receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time, and
performs control that changes the first state to become the second state after the lapse of the predetermined time when the reception unit of the vehicle does not receive the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time.
2. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 1 , wherein
the notification unit issues a notification indicating that a window of the vehicle is open as the first state, and
the control unit performs control to close the window of the vehicle after the lapse of the predetermined time, when the reception unit of the vehicle does not receive the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time.
3. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle further comprises:
a detection unit that detects whether the vehicle is in the first state, wherein
the vehicle sends the notification signal to the terminal device when the detection unit detects that the vehicle is in the first state.
4. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 1 , wherein
when the input unit receives a command to switch the vehicle to the second state, the transmitter of the terminal device transmits a second signal commanding the vehicle to become the second state to the reception unit of the vehicle, and
the control unit performs control to switch the vehicle to the second state commanded by the second signal before lapse of the predetermined time, when the reception unit of the vehicle receives the second signal within the predetermined time.
5. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 1 , wherein
the terminal device includes an ear mounting unit configured to be mounted to an ear of the user, the ear mounting unit including a speaker that emits sound to an ear hole of the user, an authentication microphone that collects an echo sound within the ear hole of the user, and an utterance microphone that collects an uttered sound of the user, and
a controller of the terminal device performs an authentication process in which the speaker emits an authentication sound to the ear hole of the user, the authentication microphone acquires an echo sound of the authentication sound, and the controller authenticates the user by comparing the acquired echo sound to an echo sound of a registered user of the terminal device that is registered in advance of the authentication process.
6. The vehicle state presentation system according to claim 1 , wherein
the input unit of the terminal device includes a sensor that senses a motion of the user.
7. A terminal device that is separate from a vehicle, the terminal device comprising:
a receiver that receives a notification signal from the vehicle which indicates that the vehicle is in a first state which is different from a second state;
a notification unit that notifies a user of the terminal device of the first state of the vehicle based on the notification signal;
an input unit that receives, from the user of the terminal device, an input which commands the first state to be maintained; and
a transmitter that transmits a command signal to the vehicle based on the input received by the input unit.
8. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein:
the transmitter transmits a first command signal to the vehicle instructing that the first state is to be maintained when the input unit receives the input which commands the first state to be maintained from the user, and
the transmitter transmits a second command signal to the vehicle instructing that the first state is to be changed to the second state when the input unit receives an input which commands the first state to be changed to the second state from the user.
9. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein
the notification unit issues a notification indicating that a window of the vehicle is open as the first state, and
the transmitter issues the command signal to maintain the window open when the input unit receives, from the user of the terminal device, the input which commands the first state to be maintained.
10. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein
when the input unit receives a command to switch the vehicle to the second state, the transmitter transmits a second command signal commanding the vehicle to become the second state to the vehicle.
11. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein
the terminal device includes an ear mounting unit configured to be mounted to an ear of the user, the ear mounting unit including a speaker that emits sound to an ear hole of the user, an authentication microphone that collects an echo sound within the ear hole of the user, and an utterance microphone that collects an uttered sound of the user, and
the terminal device includes a controller configured to perform an authentication process in which the speaker emits an authentication sound to the ear hole of the user, the authentication microphone acquires an echo sound of the authentication sound, and the controller authenticates the user by comparing the acquired echo sound to an echo sound of a registered user of the terminal device that is registered in advance of the authentication process.
12. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein
the input unit includes a sensor that senses a motion of the user.
