Wireless communication system between a vehicle and a portable device
First Claim
1. A wireless communication system comprising:
- a plurality of transmitting antennas being disposed at different positions of a vehicle, each of the transmitting antennas transmitting a primary signal to a communication area according to a driving voltage thereof;
a portable device receiving the primary signal when the portable device is inside of any of the communication areas;
a transmission control section being integrated to the vehicle and controlling the driving voltage of each of the transmitting antennas; and
an approach determination section being integrated to the vehicle and determining whether the portable device is inside of a nearby area of one of the transmitting antennas transmitting the primary signal, whereinwhen the approach determination section determines that the portable device is inside of the nearby area, the transmission control section changes the driving voltage of another one of the transmitting antennas disposed outside of the nearby area of the one of the transmitting antennas such that the communication area of the another one of the transmitting antennas is increased to encompass the nearby area of the one of the transmitting antennas and the primary signal is retransmitted from the another one of the transmitting antennas.

Abstract
In a wireless communication system, an approach determination section determines whether a portable device is inside of a nearby area of one of a plurality of transmitting antennas transmitting a primary signal. When the approach determination section determines that the portable device is inside of the nearby area, a transmission control section changes a driving voltage of another one of the transmitting antennas disposed outside of the nearby area, such that a communication area of the another one of the transmitting antennas is increased to encompass the nearby area of the one of the transmitting antennas, and the primary signal is retransmitted from the another one of the transmitting antennas.
