Patent ID: 7120525

Claim:
An activation control device for an airbag device comprising: at least one impact detection section disposed at a predetermined position of a vehicle, which detects a degree of shock applied to the vehicle; and a main control section connected to the impact detection section by communication, which determines a collision state based on an output signal of the impact detection section received from the impact detection section, and controls activation of the airbag device installed in the vehicle; wherein the impact detection section comprises: a threshold storage section for storing threshold data relating to a detected degree of shock; a storage control section which receives the threshold data from the main control section and stores the threshold data in the threshold storage section; and a transmission control section which controls transmission of an output signal to the main control section based on threshold data stored in the threshold storage section; and the main control section comprises: a threshold storage memory section which stores predetermined threshold data corresponding to each impact detection section disposed in the vehicle; and a setting control section which transmits the threshold data stored in the threshold storage memory section to the corresponding impact detection section.
