Descriptive Report of the Invention Patent for LOCKING AND UNLOCKING SYSTEM AND KEY UNIT.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [001] The present invention relates to a locking and unlocking system and a key unit.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED TECHNIQUE [002] A key management system is disclosed in which a portable terminal can be used as an electronic key receiving, through the portable terminal, authentication information to unlock a vehicle, that is, key information only defined exclusively for the vehicle, from a server through a network (see, for example, JP Patent Application Publication No. 2006118122 (JP 2006-118122 a)).
[003] The use of such a configuration saves time and effort to deliver an electronic key when a plurality of users use the same vehicle, such as a rental car, a shared car, or a company car, in different time zones, as well improving the convenience of use.
[004] A similar technique can be used to lock and unlock the same facilities (for example, a conference room, recreation facilities, a gym, etc.) that a plurality of users use in different time zones. The use of a portable terminal as an electronic key for a locking and unlocking device installed in such facilities improves the user's convenience.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [005] However, when the key information is managed entirely by a server, there is a possibility that a large
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 107/166
2/53 amount of key information will be leaked to the outside world due to unauthorized access to the server. As a result, there is a possibility that the leaked key information will be misused and that theft of the vehicle or illegal entry into the associated facility will occur.
[006] The present invention provides a locking and unlocking system that can reduce vehicle theft or illegal entry into associated facilities when a plurality of users use the same vehicle or facilities in different time zones while at the same time improving the convenience of the user.
[007] A first aspect of the invention provides a locking and unlocking system. The locking and unlocking system according to the first aspect includes: a portable terminal; a key unit arranged inside the vehicle or premises; and a locking and unlocking device installed on the vehicle or on the premises. The handheld includes a first sending unit configured to send a first request to a switch unit. The first request includes the first authentication information associated with the key unit. The key unit includes: a first receiving unit configured to receive the first request from the handheld terminal; a first storage unit configured to store the second encrypted authentication information, the second authentication information being associated with the vehicle or facilities; a first authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on the first authentication information included in the first request when the first receiving unit receives the first request; a decryption unit configured to decode second authentication information when authentication by the first authentication unit is successful; and one if

3/53 second sending unit configured to send a second request to the locking and unlocking device, the second request including the second authentication information decoded by the decoding unit. The locking and unlocking device includes: a second receiving unit configured to receive the second request for a switch unit; the second authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on the second authentication information included in the second request, when the second receiving unit is configured to receive the second request; and a locking and unlocking unit configured to lock or unlock the vehicle or facilities when authentication by the second authentication unit is successful.
[008] A second aspect of the invention provides a locking and unlocking system. The locking and unlocking system according to the second aspect includes: a portable terminal; a key unit arranged inside a vehicle or facility; and a locking and unlocking device installed on the vehicle or on the premises. The handheld terminal includes a first sending unit configured to send the first request to a switch unit. The first request includes the first authentication information associated with the key unit. The key unit includes: a first receiving unit configured to receive the first request from the handheld terminal; a first storage unit configured to store the second authentication information associated with the vehicle or facility; a first authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on the first authentication information included in the first request when the first receiving unit receives the first request; an access management unit
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 109/166
4/53 configured to exchange the second authentication information on the first storage unit from an inaccessible state to an accessible state, when authentication by the first authentication unit is successful; and a second sending unit configured to send the second request to the locking and unlocking device, the second request including the second authentication information. The locking and unlocking device includes: a second receiving unit configured to receive the second request for a switch unit; a second authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on the second authentication information included in the second request, when the second receiving unit receives the second request; and a locking and unlocking unit configured to lock or unlock the vehicle or facilities when authentication by the second authentication unit is successful.
[009] According to the mode described above, the handheld sends the first request, which includes the first authentication information associated with the key unit, to a key unit, the key unit sends the second request, which includes the second authentication information associated with the vehicle or facility, for the locking and unlocking device when authentication based on the first authentication information included in the first request received is successful, and the locking and unlocking device locks or unlocks the vehicle or facility when authentication based on the second authentication information included in the second request received is successful.

Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 110/166
5/53 user convenience.
[0010] In addition, the second authentication information in a key unit associated with the vehicle or facility, that is, the key information unique to the vehicle or facility, is generally in an encrypted state or in an inaccessible state. Therefore, even if only one key unit is acquired illegally, it is difficult to use the key unit to lock and unlock the vehicle or facility, reducing vehicle theft or illegal intrusion within the associated facility. In addition, the first authentication information, sent from the handheld terminal to a key unit, is associated with the key unit, but not with the vehicle or facilities. Therefore, even if the first authentication information is leaked, it is necessary to identify not only the correspondence between the first authentication information and a key unit, but also the correspondence between a key unit and the vehicle or facility (which key is located in which vehicle or which facilities), thus reducing vehicle theft or illegal invasion within the associated facilities.
[0011] In the first and second aspects of the invention, the locking and unlocking system can include a server configured to communicate with the portable terminal. The server can include: a second storage unit configured to store the first authentication information; a scheduling information acquisition unit configured to acquire scheduling information about the vehicle or facilities; and a third sending unit configured to send the first authentication information to the handheld when the scheduling information includes a usage reservation for the vehicle or facilities by a handheld user.

[0013] In the first or second aspects of the invention, the portable terminal can include: a third storage unit configured to store the first authentication information; and a suppression unit configured to suppress the first authentication information stored on the third storage unit, when a vehicle or facility's usage time expires.
[0014] According to this modality, the first authentication information stored on the portable terminal is deleted when the date and time of use end. This prevents the user from unlocking the vehicle or associated facilities using the handheld terminal after termination of use.
[0015] A third aspect of the invention provides a key unit. The key unit according to the third aspect includes a receiving unit configured to receive a first request from a portable terminal, the first request including first authentication information; a storage unit configured to store the second encrypted authentication information, the second authentication information being associated with a vehicle or facility; an authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on the first authentication information included in the first request when the receiving unit receives the first request; a decryption unit configured to decode the second authentication information when authentication by an authentication unit is successful; and a sending unit configured to send the second request to a locking and unlocking device, the second request including the second authentication information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MODALITIES [0027] The modalities for carrying out the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0028] First modality - First, with reference to figure 1 and figure 2, a configuration of a locking / unlocking system 1 according to this modality will be described.
[0029] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing generally an example of a configuration of the locking / unlocking system 1 according to this modality. Figure 2 is a block diagram generally showing an example of a configuration of a locking / unlocking device 11 and a key unit 12 included in a vehicle 10.
[0030] The locking / unlocking system 1 includes vehicle 10, a portable terminal 20, a central server 30, and a backup management server 40.
[0031] Vehicle 10 is a target for which locking / unlocking (locking and unlocking) is performed in the locking / unlocking system 1. Vehicle 10 includes locking / unlocking device 11 and a key unit 12.
[0032] It is assumed that vehicle 10 in this modality is a vehicle 870170043951, dated 06/26/2017, p. 115/166
10/53 which can be used by a plurality of users in different time zones, such as a rental car, a shared car (provided either by a business operator or an individual), or a company car in an organization.
[0033] The locking / unlocking device 11 locks and unlocks the vehicle door 10 in response to the locking signal and an unlocking signal (both of which are an example of the second request) sent from a key unit 12 as waves radio in the Radio Frequency (RF: high frequency) band (for example, 300 MHz to 3 GHz) (hereinafter called RF radio waves). The locking / unlocking device 11 includes a Low Frequency (LF) radio wave transmitter 111, an RF radio wave receiver 112, a verification Electronic Control Unit (ECU) 113, a body ECU 114, and a door lock motor 115.
[0034] The locking / unlocking device 11 operates on electrical energy supplied from an auxiliary battery (not shown) mounted on the vehicle 10.
[0035] The LF 111 radio wave transmitter, incorporated, for example, in the center console inside the vehicle or in the door handle, sends radio waves in the LF band (for example, 30 Hz to 300 kHz ) (hereinafter referred to as LF radio waves) under the control of the verification ECU 113 (sending processing unit 1131 which will be described later).
[0036] The RF radio wave receiver 112, provided, for example, in the rim of the cargo space of the vehicle 10, receives RF radio waves under the control of the verification ECU 113 (RF reception processing unit 1132 which will be described later).
[0037] The verification ECU 113 is a control unit he
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 116/166
11/53 tronic that controls the locking and unlocking of the vehicle door 10 in response to a locking and unlocking signal received from a key unit 12. The verification ECU 113, which is, for example, configured mainly by a microcomputer, runs programs, stored in ROM, on the CPU to implement various control processes. The verification ECU 113 includes a send processing unit 1131, an RF receive processing unit 1132, an authentication processing unit 1133, and a lock / unlock control unit 1134 each as a functional unit implemented at the run one or more programs on the CPU. In addition, the verification ECU 113 includes a storage unit 1135 implemented as a storage area in the internal memory. [0038] The LF 1131 sending processing unit sends LF radio waves into the vehicle and the exterior of the outside vehicle via the LF 111 radio wave transmitter.
[0039] The RF receiving processing unit 1132 (an example of the second receiving unit) receives RF radio waves through the RF radio wave receiver 112. More specifically, the RF receiving processing unit 1132 receives the lock signal and the unlock signal sent from a switch unit such as the RF radio wave.
[0040] When the RF 1132 receiving processing unit receives the locking signal or the unlocking signal, an 1133 authentication processing unit (an example of the second authentication unit) performs authentication based on the key information (information- key 1245b which will be described later) included in the locking signal or the unlocking signal. More specifically, the authentication processing unit 1133 determines that authentication is successful if it informs it
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 117/166
12/53 key tion 1135a, registered in advance to a storage unit 1135, and the key information, included in the lock signal or the unlock signal, match, and determines that authentication is not successful if they do not match.
[0041] If an 1133 authentication processing unit is successful in authentication, the 1134 lock / unlock control unit (an example of the lock / unlock unit) sends the lock command (when the incoming processing unit RF 1132 receives the lock signal) or the unlock command (when the RF 1132 receiving processing unit receives the unlock signal) to the ECU body ECU 114 via a vehicle network such as the Controller Area Network (CAN).
[0042] The ECU body 114 is an electronic control unit that controls the operation of the door locking motor 115 connected in a communicable way through communication lines one by one. The body ECU 114 issues the control command, which causes the door lock motor 115 to perform the locking operation in response to the lock command from the verification ECU 113. In addition, the body ECU 114 issues the control command, which causes the command to issue the control command, which causes the door lock motor 115 to perform the unlock operation in response to the unlock command from the verification ECU 113.
[0043] The door locking motor 115 is an electric actuator known to lock and unlock the door (including the tailgate, rear door, etc.) of the vehicle 10 in response to the body ECU control command 114.
[0044] The key unit 12, arranged inside the vehicle 10 (inside the vehicle), sends the locking signal and the unlocking signal.
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 118/166
13/53 to the locking / unlocking device 11 as RF radio waves in response to each of the locking request and the locking request (both are an example of the first request) sent from the hand held terminal 20. The unit key switch 12 includes an LF radio wave receiver 121, an RF radio wave transmitter 122, a communication device 123, and a key ECU 124.
[0045] The key unit 12 can be arranged in a position that is not visible from a user sitting on each seat of the vehicle 10 (for example, inside the glove box or in the center console box). In addition, the key unit 12 may or may not be attached to the vehicle 10. In addition, the key unit 12 may be operated on the built-in button cell batteries or may be operated on electrical power supplied from an auxiliary battery mounted on the vehicle
10.
[0046] The LF radio wave receiver 121 receives the LF radio waves under the control of the key ECU 124 (LF reception processing unit 1241 which will be described later).
[0047] The RF radio wave transmitter 122 sends the RF radio waves under the control of key ECU 124 (RF send processing unit 1242 which will be described later).
[0048] Communication device 123 is an arbitrary device that communicates with portable terminal 20 over a relatively short distance (a distance short enough for communication between the interior of the vehicle and the exterior of the vehicle) in accordance with a standard of predetermined communication under the control of key ECU 124. For example, communication device 123 may be a Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy (BLE) communication module that communicates with handheld terminal 20 accordingly
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 119/166
14/53 with the BLE communication standard. The description will be continued below on the premise that the communication standard adopted in the communication device 123 is in accordance with the BLE communication.
[0049] Communication device 123 can also be a communication device according to a short-range communication standard (for example, Near Field Communication (NFC) standard) having a very short communicable distance. In this case, the communication device 123 can be constructed in a position close to the body surface outside the vehicle interior, vehicle 10 (for example, inside the door handle). This allows the key unit 12 (the key ECU 124) to communicate with the portable terminal 20 outside the vehicle even when the communicable distance of the communication device 123 is very short.
[0050] The key ECU 124 is an electronic control unit that controls the transmission of the lock signal and the unlock signal to the lock / unlock device 11 according to each lock request and lock request received at from portable terminal 20. The key ECU 124, which is, for example, configured mainly by a microcomputer, runs several programs, stored in the ROM, on the CPU to implement various control processes. Key ECU 124 includes an LF receive processing unit 1241, an RF send processing unit 1242, a communication processing unit 1243, and an authentication processing unit 1244 each as a functional unit implemented by executing one or more programs. In addition, key ECU 124 includes a storage unit 1245 (an example of the first storage unit) implemented, for example, as an internal memory storage area.
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 120/166
15/53 [0051] The LF 1241 receiving processing unit receives the LF radio waves through the LF 121 radio wave receiver. For example, the LF 1241 receiving processing unit receives the radio waves of LF sent from the locking / unlocking device 11.
[0052] The RF sending processing unit 1242 (an example of the second sending unit) sends RF radio waves through the RF radio wave transmitter 122. For example, when the 1244 authentication processing unit is successful in authentication, the sending RF processing unit 1242 sends the lock signal (when the communication processing unit 1243 receives the lock request) or the unlock signal (when the communication processing unit 1243 receives the request) locking) each of which includes key information 1245b which will be described later.
[0053] The communication processing unit 1243 (an example of the first receiving unit) communicates with the portable terminal 20 through the communication device 123. For example, the communication processing unit 1243 receives the lock request and the lock request from the handheld terminal 20 via communication device 123. In addition, when the lock signal is sent from an RF send processing unit 1242 to the lock / unlock device 11 in response to the lock request from the handheld terminal 20, the communication processing unit 1243 sends the notification (lockout notification), which indicates that vehicle 10 has been locked, to the handheld terminal 20 in response to the request for an authentication processing unit 1244. This notification lets handheld 20 know that vehicle 10 has been traPetition 870170043951, of 26 / 06/2017, p. 121/166
16/53 vado.
[0054] When the communication processing unit 1243 receives the lock request or the unlock request from the portable terminal 20, the authentication processing unit 1244 (an example of the first authentication unit) performs authentication based on information of BLE authentication (an example of the first authentication information) that is included in the lock request or the unlock request and is uniquely defined for a key unit 12 in advance (i.e., associated with key unit 12). More specifically, the authentication processing unit 1244 determines that authentication is successful if the BLE authentication information 1245a, registered in advance on a 1245 storage unit, and BLE authentication information, included in the lock request or in the unlock request, they match, and determines that authentication is not successful if they do not match.
[0055] In addition, if the authentication corresponding to the lock request received by a communication processing unit 1243 is successful, the authentication processing unit 1244 activates the power of a key unit 12. After that, the unit authentication processing 1244 sends the sending request to an RF sending 1242 processing unit to send the unlock signal to the lock / unlock device 11.
[0056] In addition, if the authentication corresponding to the lock request received by a 1243 communication processing unit is successful, the 1244 authentication processing unit sends the sending request to an RF sending 1242 processing unit to send lock signal to the device
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 122/166
17/53 positive lock / unlock 11 and, after that, sends the send request to a communication processing unit 1243 to send the lock notification to the portable terminal 20. After that, the authentication processing unit 1244 disables the power of a switch unit 12.
[0057] Even when the power of a switch unit 12 is OFF, the functions of units that consume a very small amount of power, such as the communication processing unit 1243 and the authentication processing unit 1244, are still available For use. When the power of a switch unit 12 is switched from OFF to ON, units that consume a large amount of energy such as the LF 121 radio wave receiver and the RF radio wave transmitter 122, become available for use.
[0058] In addition, if authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 1244 (an example of the decryption unit and the access management unit) restores key information 1245b stored on a storage unit 1245 for the usable state. For example, key information 1245b, which is in the unreachable state in the encrypted state, is stored in the unusable state for authentication by the lock / unlock device 11. Therefore, if authentication is successful, the 1244 authentication processing unit exchange the access right to access the storage unit 1245 so that the key information 1245b becomes accessible or decode the key information 1245b encrypted into a BLE authentication information. This processing allows the RF send processing unit 1242 to access key information 1245b, which is not usually accessible, and sends the lock signal and the unlock signal, each of which includes key information 1245b,
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 123/166
18/53 to the locking / unlocking device 11, or sending the locking signal and the unlocking signal, each of which includes the decoded key information 1245b, to the locking / unlocking device 11. Therefore, the locking / unlock 11 (more specifically, the authentication processing unit 1133) can perform authentication appropriately based on key information 1245b included in the lock signal and the unlock signal. Furthermore, even if a malicious third party illegally obtains key unit 12, theft of vehicle 10 can be prevented because key information 1245b on a key unit 12 is not accessible or is encrypted.
[0059] The portable terminal 20 is, for example, a smart phone, a tablet terminal or the like. The portable terminal 20 can communicate bi-directionally with the central server 30 and the backup management server 40 through a predetermined communications network (e.g., a mobile phone network with many base stations such as its terminals, the Internet, etc.). ). The portable terminal 20 includes communication devices 21 and 22, a processing device 23, and a touch panel monitor (hereinafter simply referred to as a monitor) 24.
[0060] Communication device 21 is an arbitrary device that communicates with a switch unit 12 according to the same communication standard as that of communication device 123. For example, communication device 21 is a communication module of BLE.
[0061] Communication device 22 is an arbitrary device that communicates with central server 30 and standby management server 40 over a predetermined communications network.
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 124/166
19/53 [0062] Processing device 23, which includes a CPU, an auxiliary storage device, and the like, includes the first communication processing unit 231, the second communication processing unit 232, a request-for-processing unit lock / unlock 233, a use reserve unit 234, and an authentication suppression unit information 235, each a functional unit implemented by running one or more programs on the CPU. In addition, processing device 23 includes a storage unit 236 implemented as a storage area in the auxiliary storage device.
[0063] The first communication processing unit 231 uses the communication device 21 to communicate wirelessly with the switch unit 12 to send and receive various signals. For example, the first communication processing unit 231 sends the lock signal and the unlock signal to a switch unit 12 in response to a request from a lock / unlock request unit 233.
[0064] The second communication processing unit 232 uses communication device 22 to communicate wirelessly with a base station to send and receive various signals such as data signals and control signals. In this embodiment, the second communication processing unit 232 sends and receives various signals to and from central server 30 and standby management server 40 over a predetermined communications network including a mobile phone network with base stations as its own. terminals and the Internet. For example, the second communication processing unit 232 receives what includes the BLE authentication information and is sent from the central server 30 to the portable terminal 20. The BLE authentication information receives
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 125/166
20/53 by the second communication processing unit 232 is stored in a storage unit 236 (an example of the third storage unit). In addition, in response to a request from a lock / unlock request unit 233, the second communication processing unit 232 sends the signal requesting permission to use vehicle 10 to central server 30 and, at the same time, receives the signal (permission to use signal) that allows the use of vehicle 10 from the central server 30. The use of vehicle 10 includes an operation to unlock vehicle 10, to enter vehicle 10, turn on the vehicle 10 ignition switch , and activate vehicle 10 for the route. In addition, in response to a request from the use reservation unit 234, the second communication processing unit 232 sends the signal requesting the description of scheduling information about the vehicle 10 to the reservation management server 40 and, at the same time, it receives scheduling information (reference data) about vehicle 10 from reservation management server 40. In addition, in response to a request from use reservation unit 234, the second processing unit of communication 232 sends the signal requesting the update of scheduling information about vehicle 10 and, at the same time, receives a response, indicating that scheduling information about vehicle 10 has been updated, from the reservation management server .
[0065] The lock / unlock request unit 233 causes response 24 to respond to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) as an operation screen. The lock / unlock request unit 233 sends the lock request that includes the BLE authentication information, or the lock request that includes the BLE authentication information, to a key unit 12 via the first communication processing unit.

21/53
231 in response to a predetermined operation on the GUI. For example, the Lock button to request locking of vehicle 10 and the Unlock button to request locking of vehicle 10 are drawn over the GUI. In this GUI, the lock request is sent by tapping the Lock button and the unlock request is sent by tapping the Unlock button.
[0066] The operation to send the lock request and the lock request to a switch unit 12 can be an operation on the hardware operating unit provided in the portable terminal 20, instead of the touch operation on the monitor 24. In addition, if a BLE authentication information is not stored in a storage unit 236 (that is, if the BLE authentication information is not yet received from the central server 30, or if the BLE authentication information is already this is suppressed by an authentication suppression unit information 235), the BLE authentication information is not included in the lock signal and unlock signal. Therefore, even if the lock signal and the unlock signal not including the BLE information are sent to a key unit 12, the vehicle door 10 cannot be locked and unlocked. In addition, if the BLE authentication information is not stored on a storage unit 236, it is also possible not to send the lock signal and the unlock signal.
[0067] In addition, at the beginning of using vehicle 10 (before unlocking vehicle 10 for the first time), the lock / unlock request unit 233 sends the signal that includes the position information about the portable terminal 20 and requests permission to use the vehicle 10, to the central server 30 through the second communication processing unit 232 in response to a predetermined operation by the user on the GUI. This allows a

22/53 vehicle usage management 322 from the central server 30 receives the signal and, based on the position information on the portable terminal 20 included in the signal, confirm that the user has reached the parking position of the vehicle 10. After that, the unit vehicle usage management 322 confirms that the current date and time are just before the vehicle start date and time 10 or within the use reservation date and time, and then sends the use permission signal to the portable terminal 20.
[0068] If it is determined that the user has reached the parking position of the vehicle 10 and that the current date and time are immediately before the date and time of use of the vehicle 10 or within the date and time of reservation of use, the lock / unlock request unit 233 can automatically send the signal requesting permission to use vehicle 10 to the central server 30. In addition, the portable terminal 20, which has the function of positioning the GPS and the function of positioning the station base both of which are known, you can acquire the position information on the portable terminal 20 using the positioning function.
[0069] Use reserve unit 234 causes monitor 24 to display the GUI as an operation screen and reserves the use of vehicle 10 in response to a predetermined user operation on the monitor GUI 24. For example, through from the second communication processing unit 232, the use reservation unit 234 requests the reservation management server 40 to send scheduling information about vehicle 10 (current reservation status). At this time, use reservation unit 234 sends a request that includes the identification information and password, unique for vehicle 10, to reservation management server 40. Scheduling information about vehicle 10, stored on the reservation server reserve management 40 (more specifically, booking information
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 128/166
23/53 scheduling of DB 423 which will be described later), includes reservation information about vehicle 10 (date and time, time of use, identification information about the user who will use the vehicle, etc. of each use reservation) ). In addition, use reservation unit 234 causes monitor 24 to display scheduling information about vehicle 10 (current reservation status), received from reservation management server 40, via the second reservation processing unit. communication 232. This monitor allows the user to confirm the unoccupied time intervals based on scheduling information displayed on the monitor and select an unoccupied time interval (unreserved time interval) for vehicle 10 to reserve. In addition, when the user makes a reservation for a specific date and time, the use reservation unit 234 requests the reservation management server 40 through the second communication processing unit 232 to update the scheduling information for a schedule that includes the reservation information recently introduced (date and time of the reservation of use, time of use, identification information, etc.). As a result, the new usage reservation introduced by the user of the portable terminal 20 is reflected in a scheduling information about vehicle 10 stored in a scheduling information DB 423. [0070] The usage reservation for vehicle 10 can be made from a terminal other than handheld terminal 20 (e.g., a PC connectable to the backup management server 40 via a predetermined communications network).
[0071] Authentication suppression unit information 235 (an example of the deletion unit) suppresses BLE authentication information, received from central server 30 via second communication processing unit 232, from a storage unit 236. For example, when the date and time
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 129/166
24/53 end of use of vehicle 10 have elapsed, the information from the authentication suppression unit 235 suppresses the BLE authentication information. This prevents the user of the portable terminal 20 from being able to use the vehicle 10 on a date / time other than the date / time of the usage reservation.
[0072] Authentication suppression unit information 235 can confirm the end date and time of use of the vehicle 10 based on the expiry date and time of use information that is sent with the BLE authentication information from the server central 30. In addition, the authentication suppression unit 235 information can obtain the reservation information about the use reservation for vehicle 10, introduced by the user of the portable terminal 20, from the reservation management server 40 through the use reserve unit 234 to confirm the date and time when the vehicle ends use 10.
[0073] Central server 30 manages vehicle usage status
10. The central server 30 includes a communication device 31 and a management device 32.
[0074] The communication device 31 is an arbitrary device that communicates with the portable terminal 20 and the backup management server 40 through a predetermined communications network.
[0075] The management device 32, configured mainly by one or more computers, includes a communication processing unit 321, the vehicle usage management unit 322, and a scheduling information acquisition unit 323 each as a functional unit implemented when running one or more programs on the CPU. In addition, management device 32 includes user information DB 324 and authentication information DB 325 both of which are stored
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 130/166
25/53 in the internal auxiliary storage device.
[0076] The communication processing unit 321 uses the communication device 31 to send and receive various signals to and from the portable terminal 20 and the backup management server 40. For example, the communication processing unit
321 sends the signal that includes the BLE authentication information to the portable terminal 20 in response to a request from a vehicle use management unit 322. In addition, the communication processing unit 321 receives the signal requesting permission to use vehicle 10 from portable terminal 20 and, in response to a request for a vehicle use management unit
322 corresponding to this signal, sends the vehicle use permission signal 10 to the portable terminal 20. In addition, in response to a request from a scheduling information acquisition unit 323, the communication processing unit 321 sends the signal which requests the description and scheduling information about the vehicle 10 from the reservation management server 40 and, at the same time, receives the scheduling information about the vehicle 10 from the reservation management server 40.
[0077] The vehicle use management unit 322 sends the BLE authentication information to the user's portable terminal 20, which made the use reservation, through a communication processing unit 321 based on scheduling information about the vehicle 10 purchased by a scheduling information acquisition unit 323. For example, vehicle usage management unit 322 compares the user identification information, included in the reservation information on each use reservation, with the identification information of the user, included in a DB 324 user information, to identify the user and the user's handheld 20. In addition, the
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 131/166
26/53 vehicle 322 extracts the BLE authentication information, corresponding to a key unit 12 mounted on the vehicle 10, from a DB 325 authentication information in which the BLE authentication information is stored in such a way that it is associated with the unique identification information for a key unit 12. In addition, the vehicle usage management unit 322 extracts the end date and time of use based on the reservation information. After that, the vehicle use management unit 322 sends the signal that includes the BLE authentication information and the expiration date and time information on a BLE authentication information (end date and time of use of the vehicle 10) to the user's portable terminal 20 identified via a communication processing unit 321.
[0078] The scheduling information acquisition unit 323 periodically connects to the reservation management server 40 to acquire the scheduling information about the vehicle
10. For example, at predetermined time intervals, the scheduling information acquisition unit 323 sends the signal requesting the description of scheduling information about vehicle 10 through a communication processing unit 321. As a result, scheduling information acquisition unit 323 can acquire scheduling information (reference data) about vehicle 10 from reservation management server 40 (scheduling information DB 423) via a communication processing unit 321.
[0079] The DB 324 user information stores the identification information about each pre-registered user, who will use vehicle 10, and the corresponding password.
[0080] The DB 325 authentication information stores the BLE authentication information associated with the identification information 870170043951, of 06/26/2017, p. 132/166
27/53 exclusive cation for key unit 12.
[0081] The reservation management server 40 manages the schedules of pre-registered objects (people, objects including vehicles, facilities). In this embodiment, the reservation management server 40 is a general purpose scheduling management server. For example, reservation management server 40 stores cloud application programs not shown. The user runs a cloud application program on handheld terminal 20 or another terminal over a predetermined communications network, such as a mobile phone network or the Internet, to create and update scheduling information using the cloud application.
[0082] The backup management server 40 can be managed either by an organization (own user organization) that provides the programs to implement the lock / unlock request unit 233 and manages the central server 30 or by an organization that does not the user's own organization (third party). In addition, the reservation management server 40 can be a dedicated scheduling management server to manage the vehicle schedule 10. In addition, an object's schedule, which includes a vehicle and facilities represents the usage plan (reservation of use) of the object and facilities.
[0083] The reservation management server 40 includes a communication device 41 and a scheduling management device 42.
[0084] The communication device 41 is an arbitrary device that communicates with the portable terminal 20 and the central server 30 through a predetermined communications network.
[0085] The scheduling management device 42, configured mainly by one or more computers, includes a uni
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 133/166
28/53 communication processing capacity 421 and a scheduling management unit 422 each as a functional unit implemented when running one or more programs on the CPU. In addition, scheduling management device 42 includes scheduling information DB 423 stored in the internal auxiliary storage device, and scheduling information DB 423 includes scheduling information about vehicle 10.
[0086] Communication processing unit 421 uses communication device 41 to send and receive various signals to and from portable terminal 20 and central server 30. For example, communication processing unit 421 receives the signal that requests the description of a scheduling information about the vehicle 10 from the portable terminal 20 and, in response to a request from a scheduling management unit 422 corresponding to this signal, returns the scheduling information (reference data) about the vehicle 10 for handheld terminal 20. In addition, communication processing unit 421 receives the signal requesting update of scheduling information from handheld terminal 20 and, in response to a request from a scheduling management unit 422 corresponding to the signal, returns the signal indicating the end of the update to the portable terminal 20. In addition, au communication processing entity 421 receives the signal that requests the description of scheduling information about vehicle 10 from the central server 30 and, in response to a request from a scheduling management unit 422 corresponding to that signal, returns the scheduling information (reference data) about vehicle 10 to central server 30.
[0087] The scheduling management unit 422 manages the agent for each pre-registered object (people, objects including

29/53 vehicles, facilities, etc.) in response to multiple inputs by the user using the cloud applications described above. In this mode, vehicle 10 is pre-registered as the target of managing a scheduling management unit 422, and a scheduling management unit 422 manages scheduling information about vehicle 10 stored in scheduling information. DB 423. When the communication processing unit 421 receives the signal requesting the description of scheduling information about the vehicle 10 from the portable terminal 20 (or from another terminal when the use reservation for the vehicle 10 is made by the other terminal), scheduling management unit 422 first determines whether access is authorized access based on identification information in the password included in the signal. If access is determined to be authorized access, scheduling management unit 422 obtains scheduling information about vehicle 10 from scheduling information DB 423 and sends the obtained scheduling information to handheld terminal 20 (or to another terminal ) via a communication processing unit 421. In addition, when the communication processing unit 421 receives the signal that includes a request to update scheduling information about vehicle 10 from handheld terminal 20 (or other terminal ), scheduling management unit 422 updates scheduling information about vehicle 10 into scheduling information DB 423 according to the content of the request (i.e., the update contents including the added reservation information). In addition, when the communication processing unit 421 receives the signal requesting description of scheduling information about the vehicle 10 from the central server 30, the scheduling management unit 422 determines whether the access is an authorized access.

30/53 do based on an identification information and the password included in the signal in the same way when the request is received from the portable terminal 20. If the access is an authorized access, the scheduling management unit 422 obtains the information from scheduling on vehicle 10 of a scheduling information DB 423 and sends the scheduling information obtained to the central server 30 via a communication processing unit 421.
[0088] Next, with reference to figure 3, a summary of the operation of the locking / unlocking system 1 in this mode will be described.
[0089] Figure 3 is a conceptual diagram that shows conceptually the operation of the locking / unlocking system 1 in this modality (the flow from the use reserve for the vehicle 10 for the locking and unlocking of the vehicle door 10).
[0090] In figure 3, in order to conceptually describe the signal exchange between the main components, the hardware (communication devices 21, 22, 31 and 41) and the software (first communication processing unit 231, second communication unit communication processing 232, communication processing units 321 and 421) to implement the communication function are omitted.
[0091] First, in step S301, the use reservation unit 234 of the portable terminal 20 (for example, the scheduling application installed on the portable terminal 20) makes the use reservation for vehicle 10 in response to a user operation about the GUI displayed on monitor 24.
[0092] Use reservation unit 234 uses the cloud application described above, included in reservation management server 40, to send the signal requesting the description of scheduling information about vehicle 10 to the reservation management server 40. At this time, the use reserve unit 234 uses In
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 136/166
31/53 Application Programming (API) interface 424, which calls scheduling management unit 422, to make a request according to API 424 procedure / specification. As a result, scheduling management unit 422 is called from API 424. Schedule management unit 422 retrieves scheduling information about vehicle 10 from scheduling information DB 423 and returns scheduling information (reference data) about vehicle 10 to handheld 20 using API 424.
[0093] Likewise, when the user makes a new use reservation for vehicle 10 through the GUI on monitor 24, the use reservation unit 234 sends the signal requesting the update of vehicle 10 agent to the server. reservation management 40 using the same API 424. As a result, scheduling management unit 422 is called from API 424. scheduling management unit 422 updates scheduling information about vehicle 10, stored in an information scheduling DB 423, for the contents that include the reservation information about the new usage reservation and then concludes the new usage reservation for vehicle 10, requested by the user of the portable terminal 20. After that, the management unit scheduling 422 uses API 424 to return the signal indicating that the handheld 20 update has finished.
[0094] Then, in step S302, the scheduling information acquisition unit 323 of the central server 30 acquires scheduling information about the vehicle 10, which is adapted by the user of the portable terminal 20 to the contents including the new usage reservation , when connecting periodically to the backup management server 40.
[0095] The scheduling information acquisition unit
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 137/166
32/53
323 uses API 424 to send the signal requesting the description of scheduling information about vehicle 10 to the reservation management server 40. As a result, scheduling management unit 422 is called from API 424. A scheduling management unit 422 retrieves scheduling information about vehicle 10 from scheduling information DB 423, and reservation management server 40 returns scheduling information (reference data) about vehicle 10 to central server 30 At this point, reservation management server 40 uses API 326 which calls scheduling information acquisition unit 323. As a result, scheduling information acquisition unit 323 is called from API 326, and scheduling information acquisition unit 323 can acquire scheduling information (reference data) about the vehicle 10.
[0096] Then, in step S303, vehicle usage management unit 322 of central server 30 confirms scheduling information about vehicle 10, acquired by a scheduling information acquisition unit 323. As a result, the vehicle usage management unit 322 can know that vehicle scheduling information 10 includes the new reservation information introduced by the handheld user 20.
[0097] Then, in step S304, the central server 30 (vehicle use management unit 322) sends the BLE authentication information, corresponding to a key unit 12 disposed inside the vehicle 10, to the portable terminal 20 As described above, the BLE authentication information received by the handheld terminal 20 is stored in a storage unit 236 of the handheld terminal 20.
[0098] Then, in step S305, the request unit for
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 138/166
33/53 lock / unlock 233 (for example, a lock / unlock application installed on handheld terminal 20) sends the lock request or lock request that includes the BLE authentication information to a key unit 12 in response to user operation on the GUI displayed on monitor 24. This causes the locking / unlocking device 11 to operate through a key unit 12 as described above to lock or unlock the vehicle 10.
[0099] Next, with reference to figure 4, a specific example of the operation of the locking / unlocking system 1 in this mode will be described.
[00100] Figure 4 is a sequential diagram showing an example of the operation of the locking / unlocking system 1 in this mode.
[00101] First, steps S402 to S410 represent a series of operations from the time when the use of the vehicle 10 is reserved until the time when the BLE authentication information is sent to the portable terminal 20.
[00102] In step S402, the use reserve unit 234 of the portable terminal 20 makes a use reservation for vehicle 10 in response to an input from the user about the GUI displayed on monitor 24. As a result, the information scheduling information about vehicle 10, stored in DB 423 scheduling information from reservation management server 40, is updated and, as described above, the new usage reservation is added to scheduling information about vehicle 10.
[00103] In step S404, the scheduling information acquisition unit 323 of the central server 30 sends the signal requesting the description of a scheduling information about the vehicle 10 to the management server 40 via a processing unit
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 139/166
34/53 communication element 321 at a predetermined time after processing in step S402.
[00104] In step S406, the scheduling management unit 422 of the reservation management server 40 returns scheduling information (reference data) about vehicle 10 via a communication processing unit 421.
[00105] In step S408, vehicle usage management unit 322 of central server 30 confirms scheduling information about vehicle 10, acquired by a scheduling information acquisition unit 323. Then, the usage management unit of vehicle 322 knows that the new usage reservation, corresponding to the process of step S402, has been added to scheduling information about vehicle 10.
[00106] In step S410, the vehicle usage management unit 322 of the central server 30 sends the BLE authentication information, corresponding to a key unit 12 arranged inside the vehicle 10, to the portable terminal 20 via a unit communication processing 321. As a result, handheld terminal 20 can acquire BLE authentication information.
[00107] Vehicle usage management unit 322 can send BLE authentication information to portable terminal 20 just before (for example, 10 minutes before) the date and time when vehicle 10 starts to use. This reduces the possibility that the user will unlock vehicle 10 and use vehicle 10 before the date and time when vehicle 10 starts to use.
[00108] Then, steps S412 to S422 represent a series of operations when the user starts using the vehicle 10.
[00109] In step S412, the lock / unlock request unit 233 of the portable terminal 20 sends the signal requesting permission to use the vehicle 10 to the central server 30 through the se
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 140/166
35/53 second communication processing unit 232 in response to a predetermined user operation on the GUI displayed on the monitor 24.
[00110] In step S414, the vehicle use management unit 322 of the central server 30 sends the use permission signal to the portable terminal 20 via a communication processing unit 321. As a result, the request unit for locking / unlocking 233 of the portable terminal 20 receives the use permission signal through the second communication processing unit 232.
[00111] Note that the processing flow can be carried out in such a way that the BLE authentication information received by the portable terminal 20 in the processing of step S410 is encrypted and that the encrypted BLE information is decoded using the use permission signal received by the portable terminal 20 in the processing of step S414. This processing flow reduces the possibility that the user will unlock vehicle 10 and use vehicle 10 before the date and time when vehicle 10 starts to use.
[00112] In step S416, the lock / unlock request unit 233 of the portable terminal 20 sends the lock request, which includes the BLE authentication information, to a key unit 12 in response to a predetermined user operation on the GUI displayed on monitor 24. As a result, the communication processing unit 1243 of a switch unit 12 receives the lockout request.
[00113] In step S418, the authentication processing unit 1244 of a key unit 12 performs authentication based on a BLE authentication information included in the lock request and, if authentication is successful, activates the power of a key unit 12.
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 141/166
36/53 [00114] In step S420, the authentication processing unit 1244 of a key unit 12 sends the sending request to an RF sending processing unit 1242 and, in response to the sending request, the sending unit RF send processing 1242 sends the unlock signal which includes the key information restored to the lock / unlock device 11. As a result, the RF 1132 processing processing unit of the lock / unlock device 11 receives the signal of unlocking.
[00115] In step S422, the authentication processing unit 1133 of the locking / unlocking device 11 performs authentication based on the key information included in the unlocking signal and, if authentication is successful, the locking control unit / unlock 1134 drives the door lock motor 115 through the body ECU 114 to unlock the vehicle door 10. As a result, the user of the portable terminal 20 can enter vehicle 10 and use vehicle 10.
[00116] Then, steps S424 to S438 represent a series of operations when the use of vehicle 10 is finished.
[00117] In step S424, the lock / unlock request unit 233 of the portable terminal 20 sends the lock request, which includes the BLE authentication information, to a key unit 12 in response to a predetermined user operation on the GUI displayed on monitor 24. As a result, the communication processing unit 1243 of a switch unit 12 receives the lockout request.
[00118] In step S426, the authentication processing unit 1244 of a key unit 12 performs authentication based on a BLE authentication information included in the lock request.
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 142/166
37/53 [00119] If authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 1244 of a key unit 12 sends the sending request to an RF sending processing unit 1242 in step S428 and, in response to send request, RF send processing unit 1242 sends the lock signal that includes the key information restored to the lock / unlock device 11. As a result, the RF receive processing unit 1132 of the lock device / unlock 11 receives the lock signal.
[00120] In step S430, the authentication processing unit 1133 of the locking / unlocking device 11 performs authentication based on the key information included in the locking signal and, if authentication is successful, the locking control unit / unlock 1134 activates the door lock motor 115 through the body 114 ECU to lock the vehicle 10.
[00121] On the other hand, after sending the lock signal to the locking / unlocking device 11 via an RF send processing unit 1242, the authentication processing unit 1244 of a key unit 12 sends the send request to a communication processing unit 1243 in step S432 and then communication processing unit 1243 sends the lockout notification to the portable terminal 20.
[00122] After sending the lockout notification to the portable terminal 20 via a communication processing unit 1243, the authentication processing unit 1244 of a key unit 12 deactivates the power of a key unit 12 in step S434.
[00123] In step S436, the authentication suppression unit information 235 of the portable terminal 20 suppresses the BLE authentication information in a storage unit 236 when the
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 143/166
38/53 end of use date and time have elapsed.
[00124] In step S438, the authentication deletion unit information 235 of the portable terminal 20 sends the sending request to the second communication processing unit 232. In response to the sending request, the second communication processing unit 232 sends end of use notification to central server 30.
[00125] As described above, in this embodiment, the portable terminal 20 sends the lock request (or an unlock request), which includes the BLE authentication information associated with the key unit 12, to a key unit 12 arranged inside the vehicle 10. If the authentication based on a BLE authentication information included in the received lock request (or unlock request) is successful, the switch unit 12 sends the lock signal (or the unlock signal) ), which includes the key information associated with vehicle 10, to the locking / unlocking device 11. If authentication based on the key information included in the received locking signal (or unlocking signal) is successful, the locking device locking / unlocking 11 locks (or unlocks) the vehicle 10. Therefore, when acquiring the BLE authentication information in advance, the user can lock or unlock the vehicle. ict 10 using the user's own portable terminal 20. This saves time and effort to deliver the electronic key, thus improving the user's convenience.
[00126] Furthermore, in this mode, the key information associated with vehicle 10 and stored in a key unit 12, that is, the key information exclusive to vehicle 10, is usually encrypted or inaccessible. Therefore, even if a malicious third party illegally obtains only one key unit 12, it is difficult to use it to lock or unlock vehicle 10, meaning
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 144/166
39/53 that the possibility of vehicle theft is reduced. In addition, the BLE authentication information sent from the portable terminal 20 to a key unit 12 is associated with the key unit 12, but not with the vehicle 10. Therefore, even if the BLE authentication information is leaked to the outside world from central server 30, it is necessary to identify not only the correspondence between the BLE authentication information and the key unit 12, but also the correspondence between the key unit 12 and the vehicle 10 (whose key 12 belongs to which vehicle 10), thus reducing the possibility of vehicle theft.
[00127] Furthermore, in this mode, the locking / unlocking device 11, one of the components included in the vehicle 10, has an existing configuration, meaning that the vehicle 10 can be locked / unlocked from the portable terminal 20 simply by disposing the unit key 12 inside vehicle 10. That is, without modifying the vehicle or changing the design of the vehicle, vehicle 10 can be locked or unlocked simply by adding key unit 12, using handheld terminal 20, which has been authenticated by the server central 30. This reduces the initial investment or starting a service such as car sharing.
[00128] Furthermore, in this modality, the central server 30 (vehicle use management unit 322) sends the BLE authentication information to the portable terminal 20 of the user who booked the vehicle, based on the vehicle scheduling information acquired by a 323 scheduling information acquisition unit. Therefore, if the use of vehicle 10 is reserved, the user does not have to perform the operation to acquire the BLE authentication information and thus the user's convenience can be improved.
[00129] In addition, in this modality, the scheduling information acquired by the central server 30 (the data acquisition unit)
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 145/166
40/53 scheduling information 323) is defined from handheld terminal 20 or another terminal using cloud applications that are run by the reservation management server 40 and are available via the web. Therefore, the user of the handheld terminal 20 can automatically acquire BLE authentication information simply by writing the vehicle scheduling information from the handheld terminal 20 or another terminal using a web application and thus the user's convenience can be improved .
[00130] Furthermore, in this modality, a general purpose scheduling management server operated by a third party can be used as the reservation management server 40. The use of such a server eliminates the need to provide a reservation management function and therefore reduces the initial investment when starting a service such as car sharing. In addition, in some cases, the employee schedule, equipment, and so on, is managed in a company by a schedule management application (cloud application) associated with a general purpose scheduling management server provided by a third. Therefore, in this case, providing a system that can manage scheduling information about the company's cars using the same general-purpose scheduling management server makes it easier for the company to install the lock / unlock system 1 according to this mode.
[00131] Second modality - Next, a second modality will be described.
[00132] A locking / unlocking system 1A according to this mode differs mainly from that in the first mode in which the scheduling information about a vehicle 10 is not managed (the reservation management server 40 is not provided) and in which a central server 30A specializes in the function of
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 146/166
41/53 provision of BLE authentication information in response to a request from the handheld terminal 20. In the description below, the same reference numbers are given to the same settings as those in the first modality, and the description will be made with focus in different parts from the first modality.
[00133] Figure 5 is a block diagram generally showing an example of a configuration of the locking / unlocking system 1A in this mode. The locking / unlocking system 1A includes a vehicle 10, a portable terminal 20A, and a central server 30A. In addition, the locking / unlocking system 1A includes a third party server 50A as a component related to the locking / unlocking system 1A.
[00134] Since the configuration of a locking / unlocking device 11 and a key unit 12 included in the vehicle 10 is the same as those in the first mode and shown in figure 2, its description will be omitted.
[00135] The portable terminal 20A includes communication devices 21 and 22, a processing device 23A and a monitor 24.
[00136] Processing device 23A, which includes a CPU and auxiliary storage device, includes a first communication processing unit 231, a second communication processing unit 232A, a lock / unlock request unit 233A, a third-party application unit 234A, and an authentication suppression unit information 235 each as a functional unit implemented by running one or more programs on the CPU. In addition, processing device 23A includes a storage unit 236 implemented as a storage area in the auxiliary storage device.
[00137] The second communication processing unit
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 147/166
42/53
232A uses communication device 22 to communicate wirelessly with a base station to send and receive various signals such as data signals and control signals. In this embodiment, the second communication processing unit 232A sends and receives various signals to and from the central server 30A and the third server 50A through a mobile phone network with base stations as its terminals and the Internet. For example, in response to a request from a lock / unlock request unit 233A, the second communication processing unit 232A sends the signal requesting BLE authentication information to central server 30A and, at the same time, receives the signal including BLE authentication information from central server 30A. The BLE authentication information received by the second communication processing unit 232A is stored in a storage unit 236. In addition, in response to the request for a lock / unlock request unit 233A, the second communication processing unit 232A sends the signal requesting permission to use vehicle 10 to central server 30A and, at the same time, receives the signal that allows use of vehicle 10 from central server 30A. In addition, in response to the request for a third party application unit 234A, the second communication processing unit 232A sends the signal requesting the description of scheduling information about vehicle 10 to the third party server 50A and, at the same time , receives scheduling information about vehicle 10 as reference data from third party server 50A. In addition, in response to a request for a third-party application unit 234A, the second communication processing unit 232A sends the signal requesting the update of scheduling information about vehicle 10 and, at the same time, receives a
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 148/166
43/53 response indicating that the update of scheduling information about vehicle 10 is complete, from third party server 50A.
[00138] The lock / unlock request unit 233A sends a lock request (first request) that includes BLE authentication information, or a lock request (first request) that includes BLE authentication information, to a switch unit 12 through the first communication processing unit 231 in response to a predetermined operation (second operation) on the GUI displayed on the monitor 24 as the operation screen. For example, the Lock button to request the lock, and the Unlock button to request the unlock, of vehicle 10 are drawn in the monitor GUI 24. The lock request is sent by touching the Lock button and the lock request is sent by touching the Unlock button.
[00139] In addition, in response to a predetermined operation (first operation) on the GUI, the lock / unlock request unit 233A sends the signal (request signal for authentication information) that requests BLE authentication information to the server central 30A through the second communication processing unit 232A. For example, the input fields for entering the user identification information, password, and date and time of use of the vehicle 10 for use reservation, and the Send button is drawn on the monitor GUI 24. A request signal for authentication information is sent to the central server 30A by entering the necessary items and then tapping the Send button.
[00140] Information about the date and time of booking the use of vehicle 10 can be automatically entered based on the function of a third party application unit 234A provided to reserve vehicle 10.
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 149/166
44/53 [00141] In this modality, the function of a lock / unlock request unit 233A is incorporated into a third party application unit 234A, for example, in the form of a Software Development Kit (SDK) that will be described posteriorly. Therefore, the GUI for implementing the function of a lock / unlock request unit 233A is displayed on monitor 24 by a third party application unit 234A. When a predetermined operation described above (first operation or second operation) is performed on the GUI, the lock / unlock request unit 233A is called a third-party application unit 234A to implement each function of a lock / request unit unlocking 233A described above. That is, when the user's predetermined operation (first operation) is performed on the GUI during the execution of a third-party application unit 234A, the lock / unlock request unit 233A is called a third-party application unit 234A for sending an authentication information request signal to the central server 30A. In addition, when the user's predetermined operation (second operation) is performed on the GUI while running a third-party application unit 234A, the lock / unlock request unit 233A is called a third-party application unit 234A for send a lock request or lock request to a switch unit 12.
[00142] The third-party application unit 234A is a functional unit implemented by executing a predetermined application program (third application program) installed on the portable terminal 20A. Third party application unit 234A communicates with third party server 50A through second communication processing unit 232A to provide a different predetermined service
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 150/166
45/53 close from the vehicle 10 locking / unlocking function (eg use reservation service for vehicle 10 on car sharing, settlement service on car sharing, etc.). For example, third-party application unit 234A causes monitor 24 to display the GUI as the operation screen and, in response to a predetermined user operation on the GUI, performs two-way communication with the third-party server 50A for make a usage reservation for vehicle 10. As a specific usage reservation method for vehicle 10, the method based on two-way communication between usage reserve unit 234 and reservation management server 40 in the first modality can be used. In addition, in response to a predetermined user operation on the GUI, the third-party application unit 234A performs two-way communication with the third-party server 50A to perform settlement processing to use the vehicle 10.
[00143] The third-party application unit 234A can be replaced by a similar functional unit implemented by a program provided, not by a third party, that is, a third party different from the user's own organization providing the programs to implement the request unit for lock / unlock 233A and to manage the central server 30A, but by the user's own organization. In this case, the third party server 50A is replaced by a service provision server managed by the user's own organization.
[00144] Central server 30A manages vehicle usage status
10. The central server 30A includes a communication device 31 and a management device 32A.
[00145] The 32A management device, configured mainly by one or more computers, includes a 321A communication processing unit and a
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 151/166
46/53 use of vehicle 322A each as a functional unit implemented by running one or more programs on the CPU. In addition, the management device 32 includes a DB 324 user information and a DB 325 authentication information stored in the internal auxiliary storage device.
[00146] Communication processing unit 321A uses communication device 31 to send and receive various signals to and from portable terminal 20A. For example, the communication processing unit 321A receives the signal (authentication information request signal) that requests BLE authentication information from the portable terminal 20A and, in response to a request from a usage management unit vehicle 322 corresponding to that signal, sends the signal that includes the BLE information to the portable terminal 20A. In addition, the communication processing unit 321A receives the signal requesting permission to use vehicle 10 from portable terminal 20A and, in response to a request from a vehicle use management unit 322 corresponding to that signal, sends the vehicle use permission signal 10 to the portable terminal 20A.
[00147] Vehicle usage management unit 322A sends BLE authentication information to portable terminal 20A via a 321A communication processing unit in response to an authentication information request signal from the communication processing unit 321A receives from the portable terminal 20A. For example, the vehicle usage management unit 322A verifies that the user identification information and password, included in an authentication information request signal, matches the user identification information and password registered in a DB user information. 324 in advance. If they match, the vehicle use management unit 322 deterPetition 870170043951, dated 06/26/2017, p. 152/166
47/53 undermines that the user is an authorized user and retrieves the BLE authentication information, corresponding to a key unit 12 mounted on vehicle 10, of an authentication information of DB 325. In addition, the management unit of vehicle usage 322A extracts the end of use date and time based on information about the vehicle usage reservation date and time 10 included in an authentication information request signal. Then, the vehicle usage management unit 322A sends the signal that includes the BLE authentication information and the expiry date and time usage information (vehicle end of use date and time 10) of an authentication information from BLE to the portable terminal 20A via a 321A communication processing unit.
[00148] Next, a summary of the operation of the locking / unlocking system 1A in this mode will be described with reference to FIGURE 6.
[00149] In figure 6, in order to conceptually describe the exchange of signals between the main components, the hardware (communication devices 21, 22, and 31) and the software (first communication processing unit 231, second processing unit communication unit 232A, and communication processing unit 321A) to implement the communication function are omitted. [00150] In step S601, in response to a predetermined user operation on the GUI displayed on monitor 24, the third party application unit 234A performs two-way communication with the third party server 50A to make a usage reservation for the vehicle 10. [00151] In step S602, when a predetermined operation (first operation) on the GUI is performed, the third-party application unit 234A calls the lock / unlock request unit 233A that is installed on the hand held terminal 20A in the form in is incorporated into a third-party application unit
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 153/166
48/53
234A as an SDK.
[00152] In step S603, the SDK (the lock / unlock request unit 233A) sends the signal (request for authentication information request) that requests BLE authentication information to a 322A vehicle usage management unit using an API 327 that calls the vehicle usage management unit 322A. As a result, the vehicle usage management unit 322A is called. The vehicle use management unit 322A verifies that the user identification information and password, included in an authentication information request signal, matches the identification information and password registered in advance in a DB 324 user information. match, the vehicle usage management unit 322A retrieves the BLE authentication information, corresponding to a key unit 12 disposed inside the vehicle 10, of a DB 325 authentication information and sends the recovered BLE authentication information for the SDK (lock / unlock request unit 233A) using API 327. In this way, the BLE authentication information is stored in a 236 storage unit.
[00153] Note that, even if a lock / unlock request unit 233A provided as an SDK is called, the execution of a third-party application unit 234A is continued on the handheld terminal 20A and the GUI, displayed by a third party application 234, remains displayed on monitor 24.
[00154] In step S604, when a predetermined user operation (second operation) is performed on the GUI, the third-party application unit 234A calls the SDK (the lock / unlock request unit 233A).
[00155] In step S605, the SDK (the lock request unit
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 154/166
49/53 lock / unlock 233A) sends a lock request or an unlock request that includes the BLE authentication information to a key unit 12. As a result, without leaving the GUI displayed by a 234A third-party application unit , the user can operate the locking / unlocking device 11 via a key unit 12 as described above to lock or unlock the vehicle 10.
[00156] Next, a specific example of the locking / unlocking system 1A in this mode will be described with reference to figure 7.
[00157] Figure 7 is a sequential diagram showing an example of the operation of the locking / unlocking system 1A in this mode.
[00158] Since steps S710 to S720 and steps S722 to S736, which represent a series of operations at the beginning and end of use of the vehicle 10, are similar to steps S412 to S422 and steps S424 to S438 in the figure 4, respectively, the description is omitted.
[00159] Steps S702 to S708 represent a series of operations from the time when a usage reservation for vehicle 10 until the time when the BLE authentication information is sent to the portable terminal 20A.
[00160] In step S702, the third-party application unit 234A of the portable terminal 20A is started in response to a predetermined user operation (for example, a touch operation on the third-party application icon displayed on the monitor 24).
[00161] In step S704, in response to a predetermined operation on the GUI displayed on monitor 24, the third-party application unit 234A of the portable terminal 20A performs two-way communication with the third-party server 50A to make a usage reservation for the vehicle 10.
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 155/166
50/53 [00162] In step S706, the third-party application unit 234A of handheld terminal 20A calls a lock / unlock request unit 233A in response to a predetermined operation (first operation) on the GUI displayed on monitor 24. Then , the called lock / unlock request unit 233A sends the signal (authentication information request signal) requesting BLE authentication information to central server 30A. As a result, the central server 30A receives an authentication information request signal.
[00163] In step S708, the third party application unit 234A of the central server 30A authenticates the user based on the user identification information and password included in an authentication information request signal and then sends the authentication information from BLE, corresponding to a key unit 12 arranged inside the vehicle 10, to the portable terminal 20A.
[00164] As described above, in this embodiment, the third-party application unit 234A communicates with the third-party server 50A, different from the central server 30A, to provide a predetermined service (vehicle usage reservation service 10) . When a predetermined operation (first operation) is performed on the GUI displayed on monitor 24 while running a third-party application unit 234A, the lock / unlock request unit 233A is called a third-party application unit 234A to send an authentication information request signal to the central server 30A via the second communication processing unit 232A. Similarly, the lock / unlock request unit 233A is called a third-party application unit 234A while running a third-party application unit 234A to receive BLE authentication information from central server 30 via the second
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 156/166
51/53 232A communication processing unit. In addition, when the predetermined operation (second operation) is performed on the GUI displayed on monitor 24 while running a third-party application unit 234A, the lock / unlock request unit 233A is called a third-party application unit 234A to send the lock request (second signal) or lock request (second signal), which includes the BLE authentication information received from central server 30A, to vehicle 10 (key unit 12) via the first communication processing unit 231A. So, for example, when there is already a third party that provides services such as the use reservation service and the settlement service used in car sharing, the locking / unlocking system in this mode can perform car sharing while specializing in providing the function for locking and unlocking the vehicle 10 using the portable terminal 20A, thus reducing the cost and the initial investment. In addition, the system in this modality, which can attract a user using a third party application, makes it easier for the initial user to do business quickly, for example, when the user wants to start the car sharing business. In addition, since the handheld terminal 20A is configured to acquire the first authentication information, not from the third party server 50A, but from the central server 30A of the user's own organization, the first authentication information can be provided to the portable terminal 20A without disclosing the first authentication information to a third party. In addition, in some cases, it is unnecessary to strictly manage the usage reserve, for example, when vehicles are borrowed and borrowed from users using a communication application. Therefore, when installing a 233A lock / unlock request unit in the terminal
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 157/166
52/53 portable 20A in the form in which it is incorporated into a communication application so that BLE authentication information can be acquired from the central server 30A, the user can borrow or borrow vehicles freely without changing the electronic keys.
[00165] In this embodiment, the portable terminal 20A (lock / unlock request unit 233A) requests the central server 30A, differently from the third server from the third server 50A to which a third application unit 234A is connected, to send BLE authentication information in response to a call from a 234A third-party application unit that is an existing application. Then, the portable terminal 20A (the second communication processing unit 232A) receives the BLE authentication information from the central server 30A. Therefore, since the BLE authentication information is stored on the different central server 30A from the third party server 50A to which an existing application is connected and is managed according to a dedicated security policy, the leakage of information from BLE authentication to the outside world can be reduced. In this embodiment, when the BLE authentication information is sent to the portable terminal 20A in response to an authentication information request signal from the portable terminal 20A, the central server 30A authenticates the user based on an identification information about the user. of the portable terminal 20A included in an authentication information request signal. Therefore, even when an access is made to the central server 30A through a third party application, security can be maintained.
[00166] Although the method for carrying out the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such specific modalities, but various modifications and exchanges are
Petition 870170043951, of 6/26/2017, p. 158/166
53/53 possible.
[00167] For example, although the locking / unlocking and use reserve object is a vehicle in the modalities described above, the present invention is not limited to a vehicle if the object is available to a plurality of users in different time zones and can be locked / unlocked. In other words, the vehicle that is the object of locking / unlocking and reserve for use in the modalities described above can be replaced with facilities capable of being locked and unlocked such as a conference room, a recreation center, a gym, and similar. This makes it possible to reduce the possibility of illegal intrusion into the facility while improving the convenience of users using the facility as described above. [00168] Furthermore, although reservation management server 40 is provided separately from central server 30 in the first embodiment described above, the function of reservation management server 40 can be included in central server 30.
