A vehicular remote control apparatus warns a driver when the driver moves from the inside of a vehicle to the outside of the vehicle while an engine is operating. The vehicular remote control apparatus is located inside the vehicle and includes a transmitter-receiver for generating a first request signal and a portable device for generating a transmission signal in response to the first request signal and transmitting the transmission signal to the transmitter-receiver. The first request signal is transmitted to outside the vehicle. The transmitter-receiver includes a determining device for determining whether the engine is operating and a warning signal transmission device for generating a first warning signal if the engine is operating when receiving the transmission signal and transmitting the first warning signal to the portable device located outside the vehicle. The portable device includes a warning device for giving a warning when the portable device receives the first warning signal.

An input device for use in a vehicle for inputting settings pertaining to a driver's intention of acceleration and deceleration includes a running mode selection switch and an acceleration/deceleration switch. A plurality of modes, for example, a manual speed change mode, an automatic speed change mode, a speed setting mode, and a distance-between-cars setting mode, are selectively set in the running mode selection switch. The acceleration/deceleration switch allows an accelerating or decelerating operation in correspondence to the selected mode. Operation switches which have been conventionally provided separately for each of functions are integrated into two parts, that is, the running mode selection switch and the acceleration/deceleration switch. After a desired mode has been selected, a desired function can be realized only by operation corresponding to a driver's intention of acceleration or deceleration. Accordingly, even if the driver is not experienced in using a plurality of functions, more reasonable operation suited for human perception and reaction allows the driver to become easily accustomed to use the device.

A shift device that prevents an operator from unintentionally operating the shift lever. The shift device has a plurality of shift ranges and sets a predetermined range from the plurality of shift ranges. The shift device includes a shift lever for setting the predetermined shift range, a control circuit, and a notification device. The control circuit determines whether an operator has unintentionally operated the shift lever. The notification device notifies the operator that the operator has unintentionally operated the shift lever in accordance with the determination of the control circuit.

Power reception equipment (20) is provided with: a secondary side resonance coil (21b) which receives power from a primary side resonance coil (13b) of power supply equipment (10); and a rectifier (23) which rectifies the received power. The power reception equipment is further provided with: a secondary matching unit (22) which is provided between the secondary side resonance coil (21b) and the rectifier (23); a charger (24) to which rectified electric power is supplied; a power storage device (25) which is connected to the charger; and a control unit (26) which adjusts the secondary matching unit when the power storage device is being charged. The control unit stores, as data on a storage device (33), the relationship between the charge power from the power supply equipment during the power ascension phase and the matching status of the secondary matching unit (22) when charging. During the phase in which the power output from the supply equipment is reduced, the control unit adjusts, on the basis of the data stored in the storage device during the power ascension phase, the secondary matching unit (22) so as to reach a suitable status corresponding to the charge power.
摘要:
A non-contact power receiving apparatus includes a power reception unit for receiving electric power from a power transmitting apparatus outside of a vehicle in a non-contact manner, and a control device for controlling the electric power transmission from the power transmitting apparatus. The control device controls the electric power transmission based on a monitoring result obtained by monitoring the surroundings of the vehicle, and a door state detection result obtained by detecting whether or not a door of the vehicle is open. The control device causes, if the door state detection result indicates that the door is open, the power transmitting apparatus to reduce the power of the electric power transmission, and controls the electric power transmission without using the monitoring result.

A resonance type non-contact power supply system is provided that includes power supplying equipment and an electric vehicle. The power supply equipment includes an alternating-current power source and a primary-side resonance coil for receiving power from the alternating-current power source. The electric vehicle includes power receiving equipment and a vehicle height control device mounted on the electric vehicle. The power receiving equipment includes a secondary-side resonance coil that receives power from the primary-side resonance coil, a rectifier that rectifies the power received by the secondary-side resonance coil, and an electrical storage device, to which the power rectified by the rectifier is supplied. A resonance system that includes the primary-side resonance coil and the secondary-side resonance coil is configured such that impedance thereof is adjusted by the use of the vehicle height control device when the electrical storage device is charged.

Movable body equipment (20) is provided with a secondary-side resonance coil (21b), which receives power from the primary-side coil, a rectifier (23), which rectifies the received power, a charger (24) to which the rectified power is supplied, and a secondary battery (25), which is connected to the charger. A primary matching unit (12) is provided between the AC power supply (11) and the primary-side resonance coil (13b). A secondary matching unit (22) is provided between the secondary-side resonance coil (21b) and the rectifier (23). A control unit is provided to either the power supply equipment (10) or the movable body equipment (20). The control unit controls a primary matching unit adjustment unit (14) and a secondary matching unit adjustment unit (26).
