Door lock controller and the method thereof
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A door lock controller comprising:
- a transmitter for transmitting a signal including a specific identification code;
a receiver for receiving the signal transmitted;
a request switch for causing the receiver to start a receipt of the signal, wherein a door lock is locked or unlocked through an actuation of the request switch in accordance with the signal;
a determination section for determining that the receiver is incapable of receiving the signal;
a storage section for storing a cipher used for unlocking the door lock entered on the basis of an actuation of the request switch when said determination section has determined that the signal is incapable of receiving from the transmitter; and
a door lock unlocking section for unlocking the door lock when a coincidence exists between a cipher stored in advance and the cipher inputted through said actuation of the request switch and stored in said storage section.

Abstract
When a request switch is actuated in a state where a signal outputted from a transmitter cannot be received, a cipher is inputted in accordance with the number of times the request switch is actuated. An answer back operation in response to the actuation of the request switch is performed by illuminating a lamp provided in a passenger compartment. An inputted cipher is checked by referring ciphers stored in a storage section in advance. When a coincidence exists, the control section outputs a control signal to a door lock motor drive section, thereby actuating a door lock motor to unlock a door lock.

14. A method for controlling a door lock with a door lock controller having a transmitter for transmitting a signal including a specific identification code, a receiver for receiving the signal transmitted from the transmitter, and a request switch for causing the receiver to start a receipt of the signal, wherein a door lock is locked or unlocked through an actuation of the request switch in accordance with the signal received by the receiver, said controlling method comprising the steps of:
-
determining that the receiver is incapable of receiving the signal from the transmitter;
storing a cipher used for unlocking the door lock entered on the basis of an actuation of the request switch when it is determined that the signal is incapable of receiving from the transmitter; and
unlocking the door lock when a coincidence exists between a cipher stored in advance and the cipher inputted through said actuation of the request switch and stored. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
