Remote control system for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A remote control system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a portable transmitter which transmits first and second transmission signals of different transmission distances together through a single operation of pressing at least one push button on the portable transmitter;
a receiver which is disposed in the vehicle and which receives the first and second transmission signals;
a control circuit section which outputs first and second control signals based on the received first and second transmission signals; and
first and second devices which are disposed in the vehicle and which are controlled and driven with at least one of the first and the second control signal, wherein when the receiver has received at least the first transmission signal, the control circuit section outputs the first control signal and the first and second devices are driven, while when the receiver has received only the second transmission signal, the control circuit section outputs the second control signal and only the first device is driven.

Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a remote control system for a vehicle wherein the contents of control are changed depending on the distance between the vehicle and a portable transmitter, for example with a locking command signal provided from the portable transmitter in a vehicle invisible state, a window is not closed. According to the present invention, for achieving the above-mentioned object, the portable transmitter transmits both first and second transmission signals together, and when a receiver has received at least the first transmission signal, a control circuit section outputs a first control signal and at this time both a first device (locking/unlocking mechanism) and a second device (window opening/closing mechanism) are operated, while when the receiver has received only the second transmission signal, the control circuit section outputs a second control signal and at this time only the first device is controlled.
