Title:

CONTROLLER FOR ENERGIZING VEHICLE DOOR LOCK INDICATOR

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/041957

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A controller for energizing a vehicle door lock indicator, wherein, in a power-supply-deactivated state in which an in-vehicle device activated by being energized is not energized, an energizing-controlling means (122) stops energizing an electric indicating means (135) initially energized at a switching time at which a locking-state detecting means (117) detects that a door has switched from being locked to being unlocked, the energizing-controlling means (122) stopping energizing of the electric indicating means (135) once a predetermined amount of time has elapsed following the switching time; however, in a power-supply-activated state in which the in-vehicle device can be energized, the energizing-controlling means (122) keeps the electric indicating means (135) energized even after the predetermined time has elapsed as long as the locking-state detecting means (117) has detected that the door is unlocked. Consequently, in the power-supply-activated state in which it is possible to energize the in-vehicle device activated by being energized, the fact that the door is unlocked will be clearly indicated as long as the locking-state detecting means (117) has detected that the door is unlocked, and the door can be prevented from being opened unintentionally.
