A system is mounted on a vehicle and includes a sensor configured to perform a detection process that detects a fingerprint of a finger touching the sensor in order to perform a fingerprint authentication process, and a controller. The controller is configured to: (i) control a power supply of the vehicle to be ON when a predetermined authentication process through a predetermined communication with another device other than the sensor is successful, the predetermined authentication process being different from the fingerprint authentication process, and (ii) suppress the detection process that detects the fingerprint in response to the power supply of the vehicle being ON and the predetermined authentication process being successful.

Fingerprint authentication device

An authentication device authenticates a user using biometric information. The authentication device including: a storage unit, a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, a controller, an authentication processing unit, and an update processing unit. When the first acquisition unit acquires identification information, and a combination for which the number of successes for the acquired identification information is greater than or equal to a predetermined number is present in combination information, the controller sets a threshold such that a false acceptance rate for erroneously authenticating a person other than a registered user becomes lower than when the combination is not present.

Authentication device and authentication method

A vehicle control device includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: stop a smart key function of a vehicle when a first state in which an intensity of a radio wave received from a predetermined wireless communication device is a threshold or more has continued for a predetermined time.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control system, and computer readable recording medium

An authentication device to be mounted on a vehicle includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute first authentication based on biometric information acquired from a user and biometric information preregistered in the vehicle. The processor is configured to execute second authentication based on identification information acquired from a mobile device of the user and identification information preregistered in the vehicle. The processor is configured to permit start of the vehicle when at least one of the first authentication and the second authentication is successful. The processor is configured to set an authentication function of the first authentication from ON to OFF when at least one of the first authentication and the second authentication is successful.

Authentication device, method, non-transitory storage medium, and vehicle

A biometric information authentication device includes a control unit to, during biometric authentication by comparing biometric information of a user read by a biometric information sensor to preliminarily registered biometric information of a registered person, issue a notification to encourage the user to register different biometric information when a predetermined condition for determining that a biometric authentication after a current biometric authentication is highly likely to fail is met.

Biometric information authentication device

A biometric information authentication device includes a control unit, wherein, when a first biometric authentication is successfully completed based on biometric information acquired from an operator and registered biometric information preliminarily registered by a registered person and an operation for registering new registered biological information is subsequently performed, the control unit permits registration upon a successful second biometric authentication based on biometric information acquired again and the registered biometric information preliminarily registered by the registered person.

A biometric information authenticating device includes a biometric information sensor to detect contact of an operating finger with a reading surface and to read biometric information of the operating finger, an illumination unit including at least one light source, and a control unit to indicate completion of reading of the biometric information by an illumination pattern including a combination of turning on and off of the at least one light source.

Biometric information authenticating device, and biometric information authenticating system

A vehicle control system includes: an entry/exit management device including a first processor including hardware, the first processor being configured to detect that a user of a vehicle enters or leaves a facility, and output a first signal indicating user's entering the facility and a second signal indicating user's leaving the facility, to a server; and the server comprising a second processor comprising hardware, the second processor being configured to output to the vehicle a third signal for deactivating a smart key function of the vehicle when acquiring the first signal and prohibit unlocking of a door of the vehicle performed by wireless communication, and output to the vehicle a fourth signal for setting the smart key function of the vehicle when acquiring the second signal and permit unlocking of the door of the vehicle performed by wireless communication.

Vehicle control system, vehicle control device, and computer readable recording medium

An authentication device including: a processor; a first communication section installed at a vehicle and configured to perform first wireless communication with a terminal; and a plurality of second communication sections installed at the vehicle and configured to perform second wireless communication with the terminal, the processor being configured to: compute a distance and an angle of a position of the terminal with respect to the first communication section based on the first wireless communication of the first communication section with the terminal; cause a second communication section that, out of the plurality of second communication sections, corresponds to the computed angle, to execute the second wireless communication with the terminal; and determine, based on the executed second wireless communication and the computed distance, whether or not the terminal is present in an area corresponding to the second communication section executing the second wireless communication.

Authentication device, vehicle, authentication method, and storage medium storing an authentication program

A vehicle control apparatus includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: determine whether or not a state of a key device has reached a predetermined state requiring setting of a remote immobilizer function; and transmit, in a case where the state of the key device has reached the predetermined state, a first signal requesting setting of the remote immobilizer function.

Vehicle control apparatus, vehicle control system, and computer readable recording medium

A start switch device includes a start button configured to send a command to start or stop a vehicle drive device, a biometric sensor arranged on the start button for reading a biometric information of an operator to operate an operating surface of the start button, a light source configured to emit an illuminating light from an inside of the start button toward the operating surface, and a design part arranged around the biometric sensor on the operating surface and configured to define a design on the operating surface by the illuminating light transmitted therethrough.

Start switch device

An authentication device includes a last session information storage portion that stores data of a first registered person successfully authenticated in the last session, an input unit to which information of a second registered person successfully authenticated by another authentication device is input, an information acquisition unit that acquires identification information of a user via an information sensor, a registered person information storage portion that stores registered person information in which a plurality of registered persons including the first and second registered persons are associated with their registration identification information, an authentication order information storage portion that stores information about an authentication order of the registered persons, and an authentication unit that authenticates the user by comparing the identification information acquired from the information acquisition unit with the registration identification information stored in the registered person information storage portion according to the stored authentication order.
