Patent Images
1. A seat belt attaching detection device comprising:
- a detecting section that detects an insertion of a tongue into a buckle of a seatbelt and an ejection of the tongue from the buckle;
a transmitting section that wirelessly transmits a signal showing detection results from the detecting section; and
a control unit that controls the transmitting section such that the transmitting section transmits different signals that correspond to at least one attaching or detaching time out of a first time lasting from the ejection until the insertion and a second time lasting from the insertion until the ejection,wherein the control unit controls the transmitting section such that the transmitting section transmits signals whose lengths differ depending on whether the attaching or detaching time is shorter or longer than a predetermined time.
