Abstract (en)

A controller (1) for an internal combustion engine (10) equipped with a processor (14B, 14C) that traps a predetermined substance contained in exhaust gas and processes the substance. The controller (1) includes: an estimator (2), a regeneration controller (3), a setter (5), and an idling stop controller (4). The estimator (2) estimates a trap amount (A, E) of the substance trapped by the processor (14B, 14C). The regeneration controller (3) carries out, when a predetermined regeneration condition is satisfied, regeneration control that removes the substance from the processor (14B, 14C). The setter (5) sets, when a predetermined idling stop condition is satisfied while the regeneration control is being carried out, a stopping time (ts) of the internal combustion engine (10). The idling stop controller (4) stops the internal combustion engine (10) for the stopping time (ts) from the time point at which the predetermined idling stop condition is satisfied.
