Abstract:
A determining unit determines whether the deactivated cylinder is in the activated condition or the deactivated condition. A computing unit computes a synchronize correction amount for synchronizing an activated-side change speed of the activated-side rotational phase and a deactivated-side change speed of the deactivated-side rotational phase with each other, during a deactivated period in which the determining unit determines that the deactivated cylinder is in the deactivated condition. During the deactivated period, a deactivated-side control variable for controlling the deactivated-side rotational phase toward a target phase is corrected with the synchronize correction amount computed by the computing unit.

Claim (Index 2):
A valve timing control device which is applied to a variable displacement engine provided with an activated cylinder which is kept activated and a deactivated cylinder which is switched between an activated condition and a deactivated condition, the valve timing control device controlling an activated-side phase adjusting mechanism which adjusts an activated-side rotational phase in order to determine a valve timing in the activated cylinder, and an deactivated-side phase adjusting mechanism which adjusts a deactivated-side rotational phase in order to determine a valve timing in the deactivated cylinder, the valve timing control device comprising:\n a determining unit determining whether a return condition is established for returning the deactivated cylinder from the deactivated condition to the activated condition; a computing unit computing a synchronize correction amount for synchronizing an activated-side change speed of the activated-side rotational phase and a deactivated-side change speed of the deactivated-side rotational phase with each other, at a return time in which the determining unit determines that the return condition is established; a correcting unit correcting a deactivated-side control variable with the synchronize correction amount computed by the computing unit at the return time, the deactivated-side control variable being for controlling the deactivated-side rotational phase toward a target phase.
