1.-8. (canceled)
9. A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, which stops the internal combustion engine when a stop condition is satisfied, starts the internal combustion engine when a start condition is satisfied, and is provided with a vehicular air conditioning device that heats a vehicle cabin using a coolant for the internal combustion engine, the control apparatus comprising:
a coolant-temperature detection device that detects a temperature of the coolant for the internal combustion engine;
a stop prohibition device that prohibits stopping of the internal combustion engine when the vehicular air conditioning device m is heating the vehicle cabin and the temperature of the coolant detected by the coolant-temperature detection device is equal to or below a threshold value;
a movement determination device that determines whether the vehicle is moving; and
a selection device that selects the threshold value, wherein the selection device selects a first value as the threshold value when the movement determination device determines that the vehicle is not moving, and selects a second threshold value, which is higher than the first threshold value, as the threshold value when the movement determination device determines that the vehicle is moving.
10. The control apparatus according to claim 9, wherein:
the movement determination device comprises at least one of a vehicle-speed detection device that detects a vehicle speed, a braking determination device that determines whether a brake is applied to the vehicle by performing a braking operation, and an accelerator-pedal operation detection device that detects an operation of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle;
the movement determination device determining whether the vehicle is moving, using at least one of the vehicle-speed detection devices, the braking determination device, and the accelerator-pedal operation detection device.
11. The control apparatus according to claim 9, wherein it is determined whether the vehicular air conditioning device is heating the vehicle cabin, based on at least one of a target temperature of air supplied into the vehicle cabin by the vehicular air conditioning device, and a heating load with respect to a target temperature of the vehicle cabin preset in the vehicular air conditioning device.
12. The control apparatus according to claim 9, wherein at least one of the first threshold value and the second threshold value includes a value at which stopping of the internal combustion engine is permitted, and another value at which stopping of the internal combustion engine is prohibited, and there is a predetermined difference between the value and the other value.
13. A method of controlling an internal combustion engine, which stops the internal combustion engine when a stop condition is satisfied, starts the internal combustion engine when a start condition is satisfied, and is provided with a vehicular air conditioning device that heats a vehicle cabin using a coolant for the internal combustion engine, the method comprising:
detecting a temperature of the coolant for the internal combustion engine;
prohibiting stopping of the internal combustion engine when the vehicular air conditioning device is heating the vehicle cabin and the detected temperature of the coolant is equal to or below a threshold value;
determining whether the vehicle is moving; and
selecting a first threshold value as the threshold value when it is determined that the vehicle is not moving, and selecting a second threshold value, which is higher than the first threshold value, as the threshold value when it is determined that the vehicle is moving.
14. The method of controlling the internal combustion engine according to claim 13, wherein it is determined whether the vehicle is moving based on at least one of a vehicle speed, a braking operation, and an operation of an accelerator pedal.
15. The method of controlling the internal combustion engine according to claim 13, wherein it is determined whether the vehicular air conditioning device is heating the vehicle cabin, based on at least one of a target temperature of air supplied into the vehicle cabin by the vehicular air conditioning device, and a heating load with respect to a target temperature of the vehicle cabin preset in the vehicular air conditioning device.
16. The method of controlling the internal combustion engine according to claim 13, wherein at least one of the first threshold value and the second threshold value includes a value at which stopping of the internal combustion engine is permitted, and another value at which stopping of the internal combustion engine is prohibited, and there is a predetermined difference between the value and the other value.
