A server that shares key information to a portable terminal includes processing circuitry configured to deliver the key information to the portable terminal. The key information is associated with an object equipped with a control device, and the control device performs a predetermined control to the object when the control device receives the key information from an external terminal. The key information includes restriction information, where the restriction information sets a restriction content for the predetermined control.

Key information sharing system, delivery device and user terminal

A key information sharing system includes a delivery device that delivers key information as first information for a control device equipped in an object and a user terminal that receives the first information delivered from the delivery device. The delivery device adds second information that allows the first information to be transferred between the user terminal and a third-party terminal without the delivery device, to the first information to be delivered to the user terminal. The user terminal transmits the first information to the third-party terminal in response to an input operation by a user, when the user terminal receives the first information to which the second information has been added.

A server comprises circuitry configured to distribute key information to a first portable terminal. The key information includes information indicating whether locking and unlocking of a vehicle, making the vehicle travel, and using a content providing device that provides digital contents in a vehicle cabin are permitted. The key information further includes restricted function information indicating that locking and unlocking of the vehicle and use of the content providing device are permitted but traveling of the vehicle is not permitted. The key information further includes deliverable information making the key information deliverable to another terminal. The deliverable information is excluded from the key information when the key information is sent from the first portable terminal to a second portable terminal.

Distribution device, key information sharing system, method of controlling distribution device, and recording medium

A key information sharing system includes a first user terminal carried by a first user of a vehicle, a second user terminal carried by a second user of the vehicle, and a server device configured to distribute key information to the first user terminal. The key information is used for a key system that determines whether to lock and unlock the vehicle, make the vehicle travel, and use a content providing device that provides digital contents in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle. The server device is configured to distribute the key information to which restricted function information is added, to the first user terminal. The restricted function information is information indicating that locking and unlocking of the vehicle and use of the content providing device are permitted but traveling of the vehicle is not permitted. The server device is configured to distribute the to the first user terminal.

A server device includes a processor configured to i) acquire vehicle information when a delivery request is made; ii) acquire predetermined authentication information for unlocking and locking a door of a vehicle, based on the acquired vehicle information; iii) transmit the acquired predetermined authentication information to a delivery terminal; and iv) to acquire predetermined proof information for proving that a user of the vehicle is a rightful recipient of a delivery article, by communicating with a user terminal. The processor is configured to transmit the acquired predetermined authentication information to the delivery terminal, on a condition that the predetermined proof information is acquired.

Server device, trunk share system, information processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing information processing program

An information processing system includes an object information acquiring unit, a receiver information acquiring unit, and an authentication information issuing unit. The object information acquiring unit acquires delivery object information of an object from a deliverer of the object. The object is stored in an interior space of a vehicle and of which delivery is desired. The receiver information acquiring unit acquires receiver information on a receiver of the object. The authentication information issuing unit issues authentication information for locking and unlocking a door of the vehicle based on the delivery object information and the receiver information and transmits the authentication information to a terminal of the receiver.

Information processing system, information processing device, information processing method for information processing system, recording medium, and vehicle interior sharing system for delivering an object stored in an interior space of a vehicle

A vehicle movement notification device includes a receiver configured to receive a notification of movement of a vehicle, when the vehicle is moved in a state where a user of the vehicle is absent; and a controller configured to acquire location information of the vehicle after the movement, and transmit the location information of the vehicle to a terminal owned by the user. The vehicle is a vehicle adopting a key system according to which locking/unlocking is performed based on reception of key information transmitted from the terminal. The movement of the vehicle is performed by unlocking of the vehicle and starting of a drive source performed by using the key information of the vehicle, by a first user who is different from the user of the vehicle and who owns a first terminal where the key information of the vehicle is received.

Vehicle movement notification device and notification method

A distribution device includes a server device configured to distribute key information to a portable terminal. The key information is used for a key system that determines whether or not to lock and unlock a vehicle, to make the vehicle travel, and to use a content providing device that provides digital contents in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle by transmitting the key information from the portable terminal to the vehicle. The server device is configured to distribute the key information to which restricted function information is added, to the portable terminal. The restricted function information is information indicating that locking and unlocking of the vehicle and use of the content providing device are permitted but traveling of the vehicle is not permitted.

A key information management device includes: a reception unit configured to receive a movement request for moving a first vehicle, the first vehicle employing a key system in which locking and unlocking are performed by receiving key information on the first vehicle sent from at least one of a first terminal of a first user and a second terminal of a second user different from the first user; a storage unit configured to store the key information on the first vehicle and information on the first terminal to which the key information on the first vehicle has been delivered; and a control unit configured to send the key information on the first vehicle to the second terminal.

Key information management device and key information management method

A server device for a car sharing system includes an image request device, a use permission request device, and an authentication information issue device. The image request device is configured to transmit an image request signal to the user terminal when a use request signal for the vehicle is received. The image request signal requires transmission of a user face image. The use permission request device is configured to transmit a use permission request signal including the user face image transmitted from the user terminal to the owner terminal. The authentication information issue device is configured to transmit predetermined authentication information to the user terminal when a use permission signal transmitted from the owner terminal in response to the use permission request signal is received. The predetermined authentication information is information for enabling an operation of the vehicle.
