Patent ID: 8313413

Claim:
A control device for a hybrid vehicle driving device that includes: an internal combustion engine and an electric motor as drive force sources; a power transmission device that transmits power of the drive force sources to a driving wheel; an electric storage device that supplies stored electric power to the electric motor; and a lubrication oil supply device that is operatively linked to the internal combustion engine and that supplies lubrication oil to at least a portion of the power transmission device due to rotational driving of the internal combustion engine, wherein the hybrid vehicle driving device is capable of causing a motor-powered travel of a hybrid vehicle in which only the electric motor is used as a drive force source, by driving the electric motor with electric power from the electric storage device while the rotational driving of the internal combustion engine has been stopped, comprising a rotational drive portion that determines whether or not supply of the lubrication oil to at least a portion of the power transmission device by the lubrication oil supply device is necessary based on a travel distance in the motor-powered travel following a stop of the rotational driving of the internal combustion engine, and rotationally drives the internal combustion engine based on determination as to need for the supply of the lubrication oil, wherein the rotational drive portion rotationally drives the internal combustion engine by starting the internal combustion engine.
