    Abstract: A vehicular position estimation system estimates a portable terminal position with respect to a vehicle. Each of three or more in-vehicle communication devices is attached at a different position of the vehicle. Each of the multiple in-vehicle communication devices generates distance information indicating a distance from the in-vehicle communication device to the portable terminal. The vehicular position estimation system includes a position coordinate calculation portion that calculates a position coordinate of the portable terminal, and an area inside-outside determination portion that determines whether the portable terminal is inside the system actuation area.

    Abstract: A mobile device position estimation system includes: an in-vehicle device that includes at least three in-vehicle antennas that transmits an electric wave; and a mobile device. The mobile device includes a reception intensity detection portion that detects a reception signal of the electric wave. The in-vehicle device or the mobile device includes a sensitivity error decision portion that decides a reception sensitivity error to cause multiple mobile device detection areas to be closest to a state where the multiple mobile device detection areas intersect at one point while deciding mobile device detection areas, an annular area decision portion that decides multiple annular areas where the mobile device exists, and a mobile device area estimation portion that estimates an overlapping area where the multiple annular areas overlap as a mobile device existence area.

    Abstract: In a portable device position estimation system, a vehicle-mounted system includes a transceiver and intercept devices. The vehicle-mounted system determines a first propagation time being a propagation time of a wireless signal from the transceiver to a portable device, based on a round trip time being a time between the transceiver transmitting a response request signal and the transceiver receiving a response signal from the portable device. The vehicle-mounted system determines a second propagation time being a propagation time of a wireless signal from the portable device to the intercept device based on the round trip time and a signal reception interval being a time between the intercept device receiving the response request signal and the intercept device receiving the response signal.

    Abstract: A position determination system determines a position of a mobile terminal relative to a vehicle by a wireless communication. The position determination system includes: a communication device disposed in a vehicle compartment and configured to receive a wireless signal transmitted from the mobile terminal and detect a reception strength of the received wireless signal. The position determination system is configured to: determine whether the mobile terminal is existing in the vehicle compartment; estimate an amount of absorbers that exists in the vehicle compartment and may absorb radio waves having a frequency used for the wireless communication; adjust an inside determination value which is used as a threshold for determining that the mobile terminal is existing in the vehicle compartment; and determine that the mobile terminal is existing in the vehicle compartment in response to the inside device strength being equal to or greater than the inside determination value.

    Abstract: A vehicle electronic key system includes a plurality of in-vehicle communication devices and an authentication device. Each of the plurality of in-vehicle communication devices communicates wirelessly with another in-vehicle communication device, and based on a signal transmitted from the another in-vehicle communication device, generate distance-related information that directly or indirectly indicates a distance to the another in-vehicle communication device. The authentication device specify a plurality of inter-communication device distances based on the distance-related information generated by the plurality of in-vehicle communication devices, and does not execute a vehicle control when at least one of the plurality of inter-communication device distances deviates from a predetermined normal range.

    Abstract: A vehicular position estimation system determines a portable terminal position by causing multiple in-vehicle communication devices placed at different positions on a vehicle to wirelessly communicate with a potable terminal, and includes: a distance index value acquisition portion that acquires a distance index value indicating a distance between the multiple in-vehicle communication devices; a normal range storage portion that stores data indicating a normal range of the distance index value; and a communication device diagnosis portion that determines whether the in-vehicle communication device is normal. When the distance index value between a diagnosis target device and at least one different device is in a normal range, the communication device diagnosis portion determines that a failure does not occur in the diagnosis target device.
