For example, when the rider moves away from the human-powered vehicle 10 and communication with the electronic device 80 becomes impossible, the first control unit 72 determines that the rider has got off the human-powered vehicle 10. For example, when the human-powered vehicle 10 stops and a predetermined period of time has passed since the vehicle stopped, the first control unit 72 determines that the rider has got off the human-powered vehicle 10.

[0069] In step S41, the first control unit 72 detects whether the rider is 10 If the determination result in step S41 is a positive determination, the first control unit 72 proceeds to step S42. If the determination result in step S41 is a negative determination, the first control unit 72 ends the process.

[0070] In step S42, the first control unit 72 controls the component 50 so as to stop the control of the component 50 according to the setting information I acquired from the first storage unit 62, and ends the process.

[0072] In step S51, the first control unit 72 detects whether the rider is 10 If the determination result in step S51 is a positive determination, the first control unit 72 proceeds to step S52. If the determination result in step S51 is a negative determination, the first control unit 72 ends the process.

[0073] In step S52, the first control unit 72 changes the control state to one in which the component 50 is controlled in accordance with the predetermined setting information I, and ends the process.

[0087] <Modification> The explanations of the embodiments are examples of forms that the control system 60 for a human-powered vehicle, the control device 70 for a human-powered vehicle, and the electronic device 80 according to the present disclosure can take, and are not intended to limit the forms. The control system 60 for a human-powered vehicle, the control device 70 for a human-powered vehicle, and the electronic device 80 according to the present disclosure can take forms that are, for example, modifications of the embodiments shown below, or a combination of at least two modifications that are not mutually contradictory. In the following modifications, parts that are common to the embodiments are given the same reference numerals as the embodiments, and their explanations are omitted.

[0088] The second control unit 82 may control the second communication unit 84 to transmit the identification information J from the second communication unit 84 to the first communication unit 74 when the detection unit 88 detects an involuntary movement of the rider. A second example of the process executed by the second control unit 82 to control the second communication unit 84 will be described with reference to Fig. 12. When power is supplied to the second control unit 82, the second control unit 82 starts the process and proceeds to step S21 of the flowchart shown in Fig. 12. When the flowchart in Fig. 12 ends, the second control unit 82 repeats the process from step S21 after a predetermined period until the supply of power is stopped. In step S21, the second control unit 82 determines whether or not an involuntary movement of the rider has been detected. If the determination result in step S21 is a positive determination, the second control unit 82 proceeds to step S12. If the determination result in step S21 is a negative determination, the second control unit 82 ends the process. In step S22, the second control unit 82 controls the second communication unit 84 to transmit the identification information J from the second communication unit 84 to the first communication unit 74, and then ends the process.

[0089] The electronic device 80 may include an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) device. When the electronic device 80 includes an RFID device, the first communication unit 74 and the second communication unit 84 are configured to include units for transmitting and receiving radio waves and magnetic fields.

[0090] The second communication unit 84 may transmit information in the second storage unit 86 to the first communication unit 74 in response to an electrical signal transmitted from the first communication unit 74. In this case, for example, the first control unit 72 transmits an electrical signal requesting transmission of information from the first communication unit 74 to the second communication unit 84 at predetermined intervals. When the second communication unit 84 receives the electrical signal from the first communication unit 74, the second control unit 82 transmits the information in the second storage unit 86 from the second communication unit 84 to the first communication unit 74 if the rider is wearing the electronic device 80. A process executed by the second control unit 82 of the modified example to control the second communication unit 84 will be described with reference to Fig. 13. When power is supplied to the second control unit 82, the second control unit 82 starts the process and proceeds to step S71 of the flowchart shown in Fig. 13. When the flowchart in Fig. 13 ends, the second control unit 82 repeats the process from step S71 after a predetermined period until the supply of power is stopped. In step S71, the second control unit 82 determines whether or not it has received an electrical signal transmitted from the first communication unit 74. If the determination result in step S71 is a positive determination, the second control unit 82 proceeds to step S72. If the determination result in step S71 is a negative determination, the second control unit 82 ends the process. In step S72, the second control unit 82 controls the second communication unit 84 to transmit the identification information J from the second communication unit 84 to the first communication unit 74, and then ends the process.

[0091] In a modified example in which the second communication unit 84 transmits information in the second storage unit 86 to the first communication unit 74 in response to an electrical signal transmitted from the first communication unit 74, when the second communication unit 84 receives an electrical signal from the first communication unit 74, the second control unit 82 may transmit the information in the second storage unit 86 from the second communication unit 84 to the first communication unit 74 regardless of whether the rider is wearing the electronic device 80. In this case, for example, when the second communication unit 84 is capable of communicating with the first communication unit 74, the information in the second storage unit 86 is transmitted from the second communication unit 84 to the first communication unit 74. An example of a state in which the second communication unit 84 is capable of communicating with the first communication unit 74 is when the second communication unit 84 is located within a range in which it can communicate with the first communication unit 74 in a communication standard used for wireless communication. When a rider carrying the electronic device 80 approaches the human-powered vehicle 10, the second communication unit 84 and the first communication unit 74 become capable of communicating with each other, and the identification information J is transmitted from the second communication unit 84 to the first communication unit 74.

[0092] In a modification in which the second communication unit 84 transmits information in the second storage unit 86 to the first communication unit 74 in response to an electrical signal transmitted from the first communication unit 74, the electronic device 80 may include an RFID. In this case, power is generated in the electronic device 80 by the electrical signal transmitted from the first communication unit 74, and the identification information J is transmitted from the second communication unit 84 to the first communication unit 74.

[0093] 14, when the control system 60 includes an artificial intelligence processing unit 64, the first control unit 72 may include the artificial intelligence processing unit 64 instead of the first storage unit 62. In this case, the storage device of the artificial intelligence processing unit 64 is configured to be able to store setting information I corresponding to the identification information J created by the artificial intelligence processing unit 64. In this case, for example, a control system for a human-powered vehicle may include a control device provided in the human-powered vehicle, an electronic device configured to be worn by a rider, and an artificial intelligence processing unit that creates setting information for components of the human-powered vehicle set for each rider according to the driving environment and driving state of the human-powered vehicle, the control device includes a first control unit that controls the components according to the setting information and a first communication unit, the electronic device includes a second communication unit that communicates with the first communication unit and a second storage unit that stores the identification information of the rider, the second communication unit transmits the identification information stored in the second storage unit to the first communication unit without an input operation to the electronic device by the rider, and the first control unit acquires the setting information corresponding to the identification information from the artificial intelligence processing unit and controls the components according to the setting information.

[0094] The first control unit 72 may suspend acquisition of the setting information I when the first communication unit 74 receives a plurality of pieces of identification information J respectively transmitted from the second communication units 84 of the plurality of electronic devices 80. For example, when suspending acquisition of the setting information I, the first control unit 72 controls the component 50 according to predetermined setting information I. For example, when the first control unit 72 receives a plurality of pieces of identification information J respectively transmitted from the second communication units 84 of the plurality of electronic devices 80, when only one electronic device 80 becomes communicable, the first control unit 72 acquires the setting information I according to the identification information J transmitted from the second communication unit 84 of the communicable electronic device 80, and controls the component 50 according to the acquired setting information I.

[0095] The first control unit 72 may select the setting information I to be used for controlling the component 50 from among the acquired setting information I, depending on the running state of the human-powered vehicle 10. For example, the human-powered vehicle 10 uses different setting information I to control the component 50 from among the acquired setting information I when the human-powered vehicle 10 is stopped and when the human-powered vehicle 10 is running. For example, when the setting information I includes the height of the saddle 38, the first control unit 72 controls the adjustable seat post device 52 so that the height of the saddle 38 is set to the height corresponding to the setting information I when the human-powered vehicle 10 is stopped. For example, when the setting information I includes the height of the saddle 38, the first control unit 72 does not control the adjustable seat post device 52 according to the setting information I when the human-powered vehicle 10 is running.

[0096] The human-powered vehicle 10 may be provided with at least one operation unit for manually changing the control state of the component 50 to a control state that controls the component 50 in accordance with predetermined setting information I. When the component 50 includes a plurality of components 50, the operation unit may include at least one operation unit that controls the components 50 for the plurality of human-powered vehicle, or an operation unit corresponding to each of the plurality of components 50 may be provided.

[0097] The detection unit 88 may include an acceleration sensor instead of or in addition to the piezoelectric sensor 88A. The acceleration sensor is configured to be able to detect weak vibrations corresponding to the involuntary movements of the rider. The detection unit 88 may include a sensor other than the piezoelectric sensor 88A or the acceleration sensor as long as it is able to detect weak vibrations of the rider.

[0098] The detection unit 88 of the electronic device 80 may include a switch or a button. For example, the switch or the button is configured to be switched from off to on when the rider wears the electronic device 80. In short, the detection unit 88 may have any configuration as long as it can determine the wearing state of the electronic device 80 by the rider.
