Vehicle starting control device
First Claim
1. A vehicle starting control device, comprising:
- a storing medium which stores a specific identification code;
media accommodating means which is provided at a vehicle and can accommodate said storing medium thereinto;
communication means which can communicate with said storing medium in a state in which said storing medium has been accommodated in said media accommodating means;
operation means which is operable between a run-inhibiting position which inhibits the running of the vehicle and a run-enabling position including an engine starting position, and which has a verification position between the run-inhibiting position and the run-enabling position so as to judge true or false for said storing medium;
steering lock means which inhibits the rotation of a steering shaft in a state in which said operation means has been set to the run-inhibiting position;
steering lock cancellation means which cancels a state inhibiting the rotation of the steering shaft due to said steering lock means in a state in which said operation means has been set to said run-enabling position;
operation-inhibiting means which inhibits said operation means from changing a position between said run-inhibiting position and said run-enabling position; and
identification-enabling means which, when said operation means has been set to the verification position, reads an identification code stored in said storing medium via said communication means, identifies whether or not the identification code read and a register code which has been registered previously correspond to each other, and, when said identification code read and the register code correspond to each other, permits to effect a position changing operation between said run-inhibiting position and said run-enabling position.

Abstract
A vehicle starting control device which implements inhibiting/enabling of the rotation of a steering shaft when a storing medium is used as an ignition key. A system ECU 19 reads an ID code stored in an IC card 2 via a communication means 24, outputs a permission code to a knob rotation inhibiting means 27 at the time when the system ECU 19 determines that the IC card 2 is an ordinary one, and, when an ignition knob 23 has been set to the LOCK position in an outputting state of the permission code, terminates outputting of the permission code. The knob rotation inhibiting means 27 basically inhibits the rotation of the ignition knob 23, and enables the rotation of the ignition knob 23 in a state in which the permission code is being input. A steering lock means 28 cancels a rotation-inhibiting state of the steering shaft due to a steering lock means 29 in a state that the ignition knob 23 has been set to positions other than the LOCK position.
