Remote Operation Control Device and Remote Operation Control Method
First Claim
1. A remote operation control device comprising:
- an in-vehicle communication unit receiving a drive request signal which is transmitted from a center to request a remote operation of a predetermined in-vehicle apparatus;
a preliminary checking request unit requesting, when the drive request signal from the center is received by the in-vehicle communication unit, an in-vehicle electronic control unit which controls operation of the in-vehicle apparatus, to perform checking of whether a precondition for carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus is satisfied; and
a remote driving unit carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus when it is determined, after the drive request signal from the center is received by the in-vehicle communication unit, that the precondition is satisfied as a result of response to the request for the checking by the preliminary checking request unit.

Abstract
In a remote operation control device, an in-vehicle communication unit receives a drive request signal which is transmitted from a center to request a remote operation of a predetermined in-vehicle apparatus. When the drive request signal from the center is received by the in-vehicle communication unit, a preliminary checking request unit requests an in-vehicle electronic control unit which controls operation of the in-vehicle apparatus, to perform checking of whether a precondition for carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus is satisfied. A remote driving unit carries out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus when it is determined after the drive request signal from the center is received by the in-vehicle communication unit that the precondition is satisfied as a result of response to the request for the checking by the preliminary checking request unit.

15. A remote operation control device comprising:
-
an in-vehicle communication unit receiving a drive request signal which is transmitted from a center to request a remote operation of a predetermined in-vehicle apparatus;
a compulsive operation request unit requesting, when the drive request signal from the center is received by the in-vehicle communication unit, an in-vehicle electronic control unit which controls operation of the in-vehicle apparatus to perform an operation needed to satisfy a precondition for carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus; and
a remote driving unit carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus when it is determined, after the drive request signal from the center is received by the in-vehicle communication unit, that the precondition is satisfied as a result of response to the request for the operation by the compulsive operation request unit.

16. A remote operation control method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a drive request signal which is transmitted from a center to request a remote operation of a predetermined in-vehicle apparatus;
requesting, when the drive request signal from the center is received in the receiving step, an in-vehicle electronic control unit which controls operation of the in-vehicle apparatus, to perform checking of whether a precondition for carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus is satisfied; and
carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus when it is determined, after the drive request signal from the center is received in the receiving step, that the precondition is satisfied as a result of response to the request for the checking in the requesting step.

17. A remote operation control method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a drive request signal which is transmitted from a center to request a remote operation of a predetermined in-vehicle apparatus;
requesting, when the drive request signal from the center is received in the receiving step, an in-vehicle electronic control unit which controls operation of the in-vehicle apparatus to perform an operation needed to satisfy a precondition for carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus; and
carrying out the remote operation of the in-vehicle apparatus when it is determined, after the drive request signal from the center is received in the receiving step, that the precondition is satisfied as a result of response to the request for the operation in the requesting step.
