An onboard authentication device () includes: a communication unit () configured to receive key information; an existing electronic key determining unit (C) configured to determine whether the key information received by the communication unit matches registered information; and an execution unit (D,F) configured to execute a registration process of registering a second electronic key in the onboard authentication device or an invalidation process of invalidating the first electronic key registered in the onboard authentication device at a first time in a case that the existing electronic key determining unit determines the received key information matches the key information of the first electronic key and to execute the registration process or the invalidation process at a second time later than the first time in a case that the existing electronic key determining unit determines the received key information does not match the key information of the first electronic key.

Onboard authentication device, authentication method, and storage medium

An electronic key management device includes a generator () configured to generate at least one of a first execution key and a second execution key for obtaining a permission for transiting to a registration mode for registering an electronic key of a vehicle in an in-vehicle authentication device or to an invalidation mode for invalidating the electronic key registered in the in-vehicle authentication device, in response to a predetermined request, and a communication controller () configured to transmit the first execution key generated by the generator to a first terminal device, and transmit the second execution key generated by the generator to a second terminal device that is a terminal device different from the first terminal device and is registered in advance as a terminal device of an authorized owner.

Electronic key management device, electronic key management system, electronic key management method, and storage medium

An electronic key management system assisting device including: a connector () that is mounted in a vehicle and is used for a connection with an in-vehicle authentication device communicating with a management server using an in-vehicle communication device; and a requester (B) that requests the management server to transmit an execution key for obtaining a permission for a transition to a registration mode in which an electronic key of the vehicle is registered in the in-vehicle registration device or an invalidation mode in which the electronic key registered in the in-vehicle registration device is invalidated using a communication device other than the in-vehicle communication device in a case which the in-vehicle authentication device connected through the connector is not able to communicate with the management server using the in-vehicle communication device.

Electronic key management system assisting device, electronic key management system, method, and storage medium

A vehicle authentication apparatus including an acquisition unit (D) configured to acquire information indicating a content of a manipulation on a vehicle from a detection unit mounted on the vehicle; a manipulation determination unit (E) configured to determine whether a predetermined collaborative manipulation executable by two or more manipulators is performed on the basis of information acquired by the acquisition unit; and an execution unit (F,H) configured to execute a registration process of registering an electronic key of the vehicle in the on-vehicle authentication apparatus or an invalidation process of invalidating the electronic key registered in the on-vehicle authentication apparatus, in a case that it is determined by the manipulation determination unit that the collaborative manipulation is performed.

On-vehicle authentication apparatus, authentication method and storage medium

A system includes; a first power line connectable with a first fuse and feeds electric power from a battery to a controller; a second power line connectable with a second fuse and feeds electric power from the battery to the controller; a first detector that detects whether the first fuse is connected; a second detector that detects whether the second fuse is connected; and the controller that causes specific equipment to operate upon detection of receipt of a signal by a receiver that operates intermittently to receive signals from a mobile terminal. The controller sets a cycle of operation of the receiver to a first cycle when the first fuse is connected, and set the cycle of operation of the receiver to a second cycle longer than the first cycle, when it is detected that the first fuse is not connected, and the second fuse is connected.

Vehicle control system

In a side plate () of a retainer (), a jig insertion groove () is cut at an upper end portion of its front edge. A releasing jig (J) is insertable into a gap between the bottom surface of the jig insertion groove () and a vertical front edge of a recessed surface () of a female housing (). If the releasing jig (J) is rotated so as to be pried, the retainer () is pushed back diagonally downward along a guide groove () and reaches a temporary retaining position.

Connector

A connector has a retainer () with a housing lock () engageable with a housing () and a terminal lock () cantilevers forward from a bottom side of the housing lock () to lock female terminal fittings (). Restricting portions () are formed on a surface of the terminal lock () to face the housing (). The restricting portions () can contact bottom end surfaces (A) of the opposite side walls of the housing () along the width direction, thus preventing the terminal lock () from entering cavities () to hinder the insertion of the female terminal fittings () when the female terminal fittings () are inserted into the cavities ().

Connector with retainer having means for preventing inclination of the front part

A male housing () is provided with cavities () for inserting male terminal metal pieces () in two upper and lower stages and a retainer mounting hole () opening the respective cavities () in a lower direction and in two side directions. The retainer () is mounted movably and skewedly to a direction of inserting and drawing the male terminal metal piece () between a full locking position permitting to insert and draw the male terminal metal piece () and a regular locking position locked to the male terminal metal piece ().

A male housing () has a receptacle () for receiving a female housing (). An introducing surface () is formed around the inner front edge of the receptacle (). A retainer () for locking female terminal fittings has an interfering portion () that interferes with the receptacle () when the retainer () is at an incomplete mount position IMP. The interfering portion () has a guiding surface () for guiding the interfering portion () into the receptacle () when the retainer () is a full locking position. The interfering portion () has contact surfaces () and the inner front edge of the receptacle () has receiving surfaces () at positions corresponding to the contact surfaces () and backward from the introducing surface (). The receiving surfaces () can achieve surface contact with the contact surfaces ().
