Patent attributes
A communication control device for passenger protection device includes a satellite sensor unit and an ECU being connected to the satellite sensor unit via a communication line. The satellite sensor unit includes a satellite sensor main body, which detects an impact against a vehicle, and a controller, which obtains a measurement from a signal detected by the satellite sensor main body. The ECU includes a main controller which determines deployment of a passenger protection device. The controller of the satellite sensor unit is adapted to compares the measurement or a calculated value which is calculated based on the measurement with a preset reference value range, and, when the measurement or the calculated value is within the reference value range, the controller transmits a communication from the satellite sensor unit to the ECU at an interval which is longer than a predetermined time interval.
