Patent ID: 7150254

Claim:
An auto start-stop device for an internal combustion engine that outputs power to a drive shaft, said auto start-stop device automatically stopping the internal combustion engine under a preset stop condition, while restarting the automatically stopped internal combustion engine under a preset start condition, said auto start-stop device comprising: an air intake flow regulation module that regulates an air intake flow to the internal combustion engine; a power demand setting module that sets a power demand to be output from the internal combustion engine in response to an operator's operation; and a start-time air intake flow control module that controls said air intake flow regulation module under the preset start condition to start the internal combustion engine with a less air intake flow to the internal combustion engine when the set power demand is lower than a preset reference level, while controlling said air intake flow regulation module under the preset start condition to start the internal combustion engine with a greater air intake flow to the internal combustion engine when the set power demand is not lower than the preset reference level.
