Embodiment Construction

[0021] Next, a vehicle control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, a vehicle control device arranged in a vehicle (assuming a passenger car, hereinafter referred to as a host vehicle) will be described.

[0022] First, an outline of the vehicle control apparatus according to the present embodiment is provided.

[0023] In the following description, as an example, assume a vehicle equipped with a push-to-start system and an idle-stop system, wherein, with the push-to-start system, each Pressing down the switch (hereinafter referred to simply as the button) can turn on and off the power supply of the main vehicle, turn on and off the ACC, turn on and off the IG, and start and stop the engine. The idling stop system (also known as the eco-run system) automatically starts or stops the engine according to the state of the vehicle.

Abstract

A vehicle control apparatus includes: detecting means (3) for detecting an open state or closed state of a hood of an engine room of a vehicle; control means (1) for controlling a power supply to an onboard device each time an input operation is performed on a switch (2); and drive control means (4) for starting or stopping an engine of the vehicle in accordance with whether or not a state of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition. The control means stops the power supply to the onboard device if the input operation is performed on the switch when the detecting means detects that the hood is open in a state where the engine has been stopped by the drive control means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle control device, and more particularly, to a vehicle control device by which a user or a worker controls the power supply to a device mounted on a vehicle by pressing a push-down switch. Equipment that improves the convenience of the user or worker. Background technique [0002] Various electronic instruments are mounted on moving objects such as automobiles to enable various types of vehicle control. An example of these types of vehicle controls is an idle stop system. In recent years, vehicles equipped with an idling stop system (also called an eco-run system for automobiles) have been put into practical use in order to reduce exhaust gas and fuel consumption of vehicles having engines. [0003] In the control performed by the idle stop system, for example, when the vehicle stops at an intersection or the like (due to a red light or the like), the engine of the vehicle is automatically stopped. To resume t...
