Vehicle status monitoring apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle status monitoring apparatus for monitoring a vehicle status in which it is possible to control an engine to stop the engine in a case where the vehicle status satisfies first conditions and a user operation satisfies second conditions, the apparatus comprising:
- a first judging part that judges whether the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions;
a second judging part that judges whether the user operation satisfies the second conditions;
a calculation part that calculates level information indicative of an amount of occurrence of a state in which the user operation does not satisfy the second conditions while the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions; and
a controller that controls an informing apparatus to inform a user of the level information.

Abstract
A vehicle status monitoring apparatus monitors a vehicle status in which it is possible to control an engine to stop the engine in a case where the vehicle status satisfies first conditions and a user operation satisfies second conditions. The vehicle status monitoring apparatus calculates level information indicative of an amount of occurrence of a state in which the user operation does not satisfy the second conditions while the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions. A user is informed of the calculated level information.

11. A vehicle status monitoring method of monitoring a vehicle status in which it is possible to control an engine to stop the engine in a case where a vehicle status satisfies first conditions and a user operation satisfies second conditions, the method comprising the steps of:
-
judging whether the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions; judging whether the user operation satisfies the second conditions; calculating level information indicative of an amount of occurrence of a state in which the user operation does not satisfy the second conditions while the vehicle status satisfies the first conditions; and controlling an informing apparatus to inform a user of the level information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
