This key information generation system generates key information necessary when using a shared device and imparts this key information to a mobile terminal. Authentication is performed between a mobile terminal which has imported key information, and an authentication device provided to the device, and if said authentication is successful, the mobile terminal enables operation of the device via the authentication device. The key information generation system includes: an information management unit which manages, by associating with one another, individual information for the authentication device, a key information generating code, and usage information pertaining to the use of the authentication device; and a key information generation unit which specifies a key information generation code from the individual information and usage information managed by being associated with one another by the information management unit, and generates key information on the basis of the key information generation code.

Key information generation system and key information generation method

This key information generation system generates key information required when using a shared vehicle, and imparts this key information to a mobile terminal. Authentication is performed between a mobile terminal containing the imparted key information, and an authentication device provided to a vehicle, and if said authentication is successful, the mobile terminal enables operation of the vehicle via the authentication device. The key information generation system includes: an information management unit which manages, by associating with one another, individual information for the authentication device, a key information generation code, and usage information pertaining to the use of the authentication device; and a key information generation unit which specifies a key information generation code from individual information and usage information managed by being associated with one another by the information management unit, and generates key information on the basis of the key information generation code.

A sharing system includes a sharing device arranged in a shared subject and a valet key that is allowed to operate the shared subject. The sharing system further includes a portable terminal that obtains key information required to use the shared subject and is allowed to operate the shared subject when the key information is authenticated through communication with the sharing device. The sharing system further includes a privilege granting unit that grants privilege to operate the shared subject from the portable terminal to the valet key, and a restriction imposing unit that imposes a restriction on use of the portable terminal when the operation privilege for the shared subject is granted from the portable terminal to the valet key.

Sharing system using valet key

A car sharing system includes a car sharing device that actuates an onboard device by performing communication with an electronic key system through ID verification when a user operates the onboard device in an authentication completion state in which key information has been authenticated through wireless communication with the portable terminal, a radio wave checker that checks radio waves transmitted from the electronic key system in accordance with a state of a vehicle power supply when the onboard device is operated with the portable terminal and a key control request corresponding to the operation with the portable terminal is transmitted from the portable terminal to the car sharing device so that the car sharing device actuates the electronic key system, and a warning controller that issues a warning indicating that one has forgotten to stop the vehicle power supply in accordance with a checking result of the radio wave checker.

Car sharing system

A car sharing system includes a car share device mounted on a vehicle. The car share device performs wireless communication with a mobile terminal, to which code information is registered so that the mobile terminal is actuated as a vehicle key of the vehicle, to authenticate the code information through the wireless communication. In an authentication completion state of the code information, the car share device performs ID verification through an electronic key system of the vehicle to allow the mobile terminal to operate an on-board device. The car sharing system further includes a position monitor that monitors whether the mobile terminal has approached the vehicle, and an automatic transmitter that automatically transmits an actuation permission request, which requests a permission for actuation of the on-board device, from the mobile terminal when the position monitor determines that the mobile terminal has approached the vehicle.

Car sharing system and car sharing program

A car sharing system includes a car sharing device. The car sharing device includes a key function unit and a user authentication function unit. The key function unit allows a device of a vehicle that is shared with multiple people to operate by performing ID verification through a process similar to an electronic key of the vehicle. When the device of the vehicle is operated with a mobile terminal, the user authentication function unit obtains key information from an external device via the mobile terminal and performs authentication of the key information. When authentication of the key information is accomplished and use of the vehicle is within a reservation time, the user authentication function unit validates the key function unit. The key information is generated as information that is permitted only a temporary use.

A valet key control system includes a time monitoring unit and a communication subject setting unit. The time monitoring unit is configured to monitor a remaining time of a reserved period during which the valet key is allowed to be used as the vehicle key. The communication subject setting unit is configured to set a communication subject of the valet key in accordance with the remaining time of the reserved period.

Valet key control system and valet key

A valet key operable as a vehicle key when lending a vehicle to a third person includes a state determination unit configured to determine whether or not the valet key is operable as the vehicle key when the valet key transmits a radio wave. The valet key further includes a communication subject setting unit configured to set a communication subject to which the valet key transmits the radio wave based on the determination result of the state determination unit.

Valet key and method for controlling valet key

A mobile device possessed by a user is equipped with: a motion sensor which is capable of detecting the motion of the mobile device; a receiver which is capable of receiving a polling signal transmitted from equipment; and a control unit which is configured so as to set, in response to whether or not the polling signal has been received by the receiver, the sampling speed with which the motion sensor detects the motion of the mobile device.

Mobile device

A car sharing system includes a car sharing device installed in a vehicle. The car sharing device is configured to perform ID verification via an electronic key system of the vehicle in a state in which key information registered to the mobile terminal has been authenticated to allow an onboard device to be operated by the mobile terminal. The car sharing system includes a key function unit that implements a smart function to perform the ID verification through bidirectional short-range wireless communication with the electronic key system, a determination processing unit that determines whether or not a condition for permitting actuation of the smart function has been satisfied, and an actuation switching unit that validates the smart function if the condition for permitting actuation of the smart function has been satisfied.

An electronic key registration system includes an electronic key and a communication master. The electronic key transmits a registration code. The communication master receives the registration code from the electronic key, obtains key information using the registration code, and registers the key information. The registration code is set in accordance with the communication master to which the electronic key is registered. The communication master includes a level determination unit, which determines a key registration security level when the electronic key is registered to the communication master, and a registration execution unit, which obtains the key information using the registration code based on the determined key registration security level and registers the key information to the communication master.
