1. A vibration-damping controlling apparatus comprising:

  • a controller configured to control an engine, a motor, or a generator of a vehicle and suppress sprung vibration generated to the vehicle by an input from a road surface to wheels provided with the vehicle by controlling a driving force of the vehicle,whereina sprung vibration damping as a suppression of the sprung vibration is executed by the controller by controlling a torque of a motor disposed as a power source when at least the vehicle travels,the sprung vibration damping, which is executed by the controller by controlling the torque of the motor, is restricted in response to any one of a state of a battery which supplies power to the motor and a state of a control which makes an influence on a power of the battery,the vehicle further includes an internal combustion engine as a power source in traveling,the sprung vibration damping is restricted by the controller at a time at which the internal combustion engine starts, or the internal combustion engine stops,the sprung vibration damping is restricted by the controller at a time at which the internal combustion engine starts, or the internal combustion engine stops as well as when a voltage of the battery is equal to or more than an upper limit threshold value, or the voltage of the battery is equal to or less than a lower limit threshold value, andthe sprung vibration damping is not restricted by the controller when the voltage of the battery is between the upper limit threshold value and the lower limit threshold value even when the internal combustion engine starts or stops.
