Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection control method for electronically controlling an amount of fuel injected includes the step of performing asynchronous fuel injection control to increase the amount of fuel injected when the following three conditions are satisfied: (1) the engine has shifted from an idling operating state to a running operating state, (2) the rotating speed of the engine is higher than a predetermined speed, and (3) the velocity of the vehicle is higher than a predetermined velocity. A switch from the idling operating state to the running operating state is detected by checking whether an idle contact of a throttle sensor is switched from ON to OFF. The rotating speed is detected at the ignition coil. The velocity of the vehicle is detected using the vehicle velocity sensor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A method of fuel injection control for electronically controlling an amount of fuel injected into an internal combustion engine provided in a vehicle, including the step of performing asynchronous fuel injection in the case where at least the following three conditions are satisfied: (1) the engine has shifted from an idling operating state to a running operating state; (2) the rotating speed of the engine is higher than a predetermined rotating speed; and (3) the velocity of the vehicle is higher than a predetermined velocity.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
85 words
A method of fuel injection control for electronically controlling an amount of fuel injected into an internal combustion engine provided in a vehicle, including the step of performing asynchronous fuel injection in the case where at least the following three conditions are satisfied: (1) the engine has shifted from an idling operating state to a running operating state; (2) the rotating speed of the engine is higher than a predetermined rotating speed; and (3) the velocity of the vehicle is higher than a predetermined velocity.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
A fuel injection control method according to claim 1, including the steps of detecting a shift from the idling operating state of the engine to the running operating state by checking whether an idle contact of a throttle sensor is switched from ON to OFF, detecting the rotating speed of the engine by monitoring an ignition device, and detecting the velocity of the vehicle using a vehicle velocity sensor.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
112 words
A method of fuel injection for controlling an amount of fuel injected into a fuel-injected internal combustion engine provided in a vehicle, comprising the steps of: monitoring whether the engine is in an idling operating state, monitoring whether the rotating speed of the engine is greater than a predetermined speed, monitoring whether the velocity of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined velocity, and performing asynchronous fuel injection when all of the following conditions exist: the engine is in an operating state other than said idling operating state, the rotating speed of the engine is greater than said predetermined speed, and the velocity of said vehicle is greater than said predetermined velocity.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
112 words
A method of fuel injection for controlling an amount of fuel injected into a fuel-injected internal combustion engine provided in a vehicle, comprising the steps of: monitoring whether the engine is in an idling operating state, monitoring whether the rotating speed of the engine is greater than a predetermined speed, monitoring whether the velocity of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined velocity, and performing asynchronous fuel injection when all of the following conditions exist: the engine is in an operating state other than said idling operating state, the rotating speed of the engine is greater than said predetermined speed, and the velocity of said vehicle is greater than said predetermined velocity.
