ECO-RUN CONTROL DEVICE AND ECO-RUN CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. An eco-run control device configured to perform an eco-run control of stopping an engine mounted on a vehicle automatically on the basis of stop conditions and of restarting the engine automatically on the basis of restart conditions while the engine is stopped automatically by the eco-run control, the eco-run control device comprising:
- an eco-run control unit configured to perform the eco-run control;
an acquiring unit configured to acquire information for identifying a vehicle type of the vehicle on which the eco-run control device is mounted;
a determining unit configured to determine whether the vehicle type identified by the information acquired by the acquiring unit is coincident with any of a plurality of vehicle types stored in a storage unit; and
a setting unit configured to set the eco-run control to be performed by the eco-run control unit to a specific control depending on one of the vehicle types when the determining unit determines that the identified vehicle type is coincident with the one of the stored vehicle types,wherein the setting unit sets the eco-run control to be performed by the eco-run control unit to a default control corresponding to a default vehicle type and permit the eco-run control unit to stop the engine automatically until a determination of the determination unit is completed, andwherein the setting unit prohibits the eco-run control unit from stopping the engine automatically when the determining unit determines that the identified vehicle type is different from any of the stored vehicle types.

Abstract
An eco-run control unit performs an eco-run control of stopping an engine mounted on a vehicle automatically on the basis of stop conditions and of restarting the engine automatically on the basis of restart conditions while the engine is stopped automatically by the eco-run control. An acquiring unit acquires information for identifying a vehicle type of the vehicle on which the eco-run control device is mounted. A determining unit determines whether the identified vehicle type is coincident with any of vehicle types stored in a storage unit. A setting unit sets the eco-run control to a specific control depending on one of the vehicle types when the determining unit determines that the identified vehicle type is coincident with the one of the stored vehicle types. The setting unit sets the eco-run control to a default control corresponding to a default vehicle type and permit the eco-run control unit to stop the engine automatically until a determination of the determination unit is completed. The setting unit prohibits the eco-run control unit from stopping the engine automatically when the determining unit determines that the identified vehicle type is different from any of the stored vehicle types.

8. An eco-run control method for performing an eco-run control of stopping an engine mounted on a vehicle automatically on the basis of stop conditions and of restarting the engine automatically on the basis of restart conditions while the engine is stopped automatically by the eco-run control, the eco-run control method comprising:
-
performing the eco-run control; acquiring information for identifying a vehicle type of the vehicle on which the eco-run control device is mounted; determining whether the vehicle type identified by the acquired information is coincident with any of a plurality of vehicle types stored in a storage unit; setting the eco-run control to be performed to a default control corresponding to a default vehicle type and permitting to stop the engine automatically in the performing until the determining is completed; setting the eco-run control to be performed to a specific control depending on one of the vehicle types when it is determined that the identified vehicle type is coincident with the one of the stored vehicle types in the determining; and prohibiting stopping the engine automatically in the performing when it is determined that the identified vehicle type is different from any of the stored vehicle types in the determining.
