Patent ID: 7091824

Claim:
A remote starting control apparatus being installed in a vehicle incorporating a starting control apparatus for sending a key code output request to a key code output unit that can output a key code based on predetermined operation, inputting a key code output in response to the request, determining whether or not the input key code matches a predetermined key code, and if the key codes match, enabling an engine, etc., to be started, the remote starting control apparatus for performing starting control of the engine by remote operation, the remote starting control apparatus comprising: a first storage unit for storing a key code; a supply unit for supplying the key code stored in the first storage unit to the starting control apparatus upon reception of a starting command of the engine by remote operation; a first acquisition unit for acquiring the key code output from the key code output unit in response to a key code output request; a first determination unit for comparing two or more key codes output from the key code output unit in response to two or more key code output requests, acquired by the first acquisition unit, thereby determining the key code to be stored in the first storage unit from among the key codes; a first storage control unit for storing the key code determined by the first determination unit in the first storage; and a pseudo state producing unit for artificially producing a state in which the predetermined operation is performed.
