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

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

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

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

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.

Authentication device, authentication method, and authentication system

A vehicle control apparatus includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to determine whether or not a position of a key device is located within a predetermined area, and in a case where the position of the key device is located within the predetermined area, stop a smart key function of a vehicle or transmit a first signal requesting setting of a remote immobilizer function of the vehicle.

A biometric authentication device includes a biometric information sensor to read biometric information of a user, a biometric information storage unit to pre-register biometric information of a registered person as registered biometric information for verification, a determination unit to determine whether or not a captured image captured by the biometric information sensor is suitable for biometric authentication, and to perform biometric authentication by comparing the captured image to the registered biometric information registered in the biometric information storage unit when the determination unit determines that the captured image is suitable for the biometric authentication, and a notification unit to issue a notification indicating that the captured image is unsuitable for the biometric authentication. When the determination unit determines that the captured image is unsuitable for the biometric authentication, the determination unit does not perform the biometric authentication by the authentication unit and causes the notification unit to issue the notification.

Biometric authentication device

A biometric information sensor device includes a control unit that issues a notification for failure to read biometric information of a detection target when reading of the biometric information fails after a contact of the detection target with a reading surface is detected.

Biometric information sensor device

A vehicular authentication device that includes: a first processor; and a second processor. The first processor is configured to: perform a first permission to permit release of a steering lock of a vehicle in a case in which a verification of key information of the vehicle has been performed successfully, and in a case in which the steering lock has been released by the first permission, perform a second permission to permit deactivation of an immobilizer of the vehicle based on a successful verification of biometric information by the second processor.
