11. A control method using a plurality of processing circuits which uses a battery as a power source, for a vehicle in which an engine is installed, comprising the steps of:
-
judging whether or not an operation of said engine is stopped; and
when it is judged that the operation of said engine is stopped, shutting off the power supply to certain processing circuits of said plurality of processing circuits; and
using the processing circuit other than said certain processing circuits, of said plurality of processing circuit, to execute the process to be performed after the operation of said engine is stopped. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
