Communication device

摘要

A communication device has an information transmission setting process that obtains state information indicative of a self-vehicle state, and determines whether the state information satisfies a transmission stop condition for stopping a transmission of position information. Further, based on the obtained state information, the process determines whether the self-vehicle is in an abnormal state indicative of an abnormality of the self-vehicle. Then, if the preset transmission stop condition is satisfied and the abnormal state is not detected, the process stops the transmission of the position information. If the preset transmission stop condition is satisfied and the abnormal state is already detected, the process allows a periodic transmission of the position information.

主权项

1. A communication device that is installed in a movable object to perform information communication with an other communication device, the communication device comprising:
a vehicle state obtainer obtaining state information indicative of a state of the movable object; a position obtainer obtaining position information that includes a position of the movable object; a stop condition determiner determining whether external information incoming from an external device satisfies a preset transmission stop condition for stopping a transmission of information via the information communication; an abnormality detector detecting that the movable object is in an abnormal state based on the state information obtained by the vehicle state obtainer; and a transmission controller performing the transmission of position information according to a satisfaction of the preset transmission stop condition, wherein when the transmission controller determines that (i) the stop condition determiner has determined that the preset transmission stop condition is satisfied and (ii) the abnormality detector has not detected the abnormal state, the transmission controller stops the transmission of the position information obtained from the position obtainer, and when the transmission controller determines that (i) the stop condition determiner has determined that the preset transmission stop condition is satisfied and (ii) the abnormality detector has detected the abnormal state, the transmission controller performs the transmission of the position information obtained from the position obtainer as the information communication.
