When a vehicle and a smartphone are in a second communication state, the vehicle can operate, and then if the vehicle and the smartphone are not in the second communication state for a predetermined time or longer, and if a main switch of the vehicle detects a predetermined operation, an emergency advertising is transmitted from the vehicle. Thereby, the smartphone can be used as a key that can receive the emergency information from the vehicle. By enabling the smartphone to be used as a key for the vehicle, it is possible to popularize a smartphone that can be used as a key for the vehicle.

Wireless communication system

A vehicle wireless communication system includes: a vehicle including an output circuit; and first and second communication devices configured to wirelessly communicate with the vehicle. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in a first area including one point located inside the vehicle, the use of the vehicle is permitted. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in a second area including the one point and the second communication device is not positioned in a third area including the one point, the output circuit outputs a notification that there is a possibility of failure to carry the second communication device. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in the second area and the second communication device is positioned in the third area, the output circuit of the vehicle does not output the notification.

Vehicle wireless communication system, control device, and information output method

A vehicle control system includes: a vehicle including an operation device; a first communication device; and a second communication device. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in a first area containing a position of the vehicle, the vehicle operates in an operation waiting state in which the operation device is allowed to receive an operation. In a case in which the second communication device is positioned in a second area contained in the first area and smaller than the first area, the vehicle operates in the operation waiting state. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in the first area and the second communication device is positioned in the second area, the second communication device generates a notification indicating that the vehicle is in the operation waiting state.
