Abstract:
A discriminating unit discriminates and detects a first unlocking operation performed on an unlock sensor by insertion of a user's hand into a space from a first direction, and a second unlocking operation performed on the unlock sensor by insertion of the user's hand into the space from a second direction. If the first unlocking operation is detected, an unlock order unit causes lock devices to unlock all the doors of a vehicle, and if the second unlocking operation is detected, the unlock order unit causes the lock device to unlock only the door of a driver's seat of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 1):
A smart entry system comprising:\n lock devices configured to lock and unlock doors of a vehicle; a door handle facing a body panel of the door of a driver's seat through a space, and being configured so that a user's hand can be inserted into the space from a first direction and a second direction; an unlock sensor provided to the door handle and configured to detect an unlocking operation performed by the user's hand; a communications unit provided to the vehicle and configured to communicate with a mobile device carried by the user; and a control unit configured to cause the lock device of the driver's seat to unlock the door if the unlock sensor detects the unlocking operation and communication between the communications unit and the mobile device is established, wherein the control unit is configured to discriminate and detect a first unlocking operation performed on the unlock sensor by insertion of the user's hand into the space from the first direction, and a second unlocking operation performed on the unlock sensor by insertion of the user's hand into the space from the second direction, and the control unit is configured to cause the lock devices to unlock all the doors of the vehicle if the first unlocking operation is detected, and cause the lock device to unlock only the door of the driver's seat if the second unlocking operation is detected.
