Patent ID: 8241175

Claim:
A hybrid driving apparatus comprising: a rotation output shaft for receiving a whole or a part of output from a first power source; a transmission mechanism for selectively providing a plurality of gear ratios by a combination of engaging and releasing of a plurality of frictional engagement devices; a second power source connected to said rotation output shaft via said transmission mechanism; a first producing unit for producing a first torque request value for said second power source according to a drive operation; a second producing unit for producing a second torque request value for said second power source according to changes in rotational speed caused by a shift operation; a switching unit for selecting one of said first and second torque request values according to switching conditions based on said first torque request value during a period of a shift operation from a first gear ratio to a second gear ratio larger than said first gear ratio; a control unit for controlling said second power source according to the torque request value selected by said switching unit; and a condition relaxing unit for relaxing said switching conditions to ease selection of said first torque request value in accordance with progress of said shift operation.
