Description

  The present invention enables a car driver to release the lock and open the door even when the car door is accidentally closed and locked with the car door key left in the car. The door lock release system.

  In general, when a car driver gets out of a car, the car door key is removed and then the door is locked and closed to prevent car theft by a third party. You may accidentally close and lock the car door with the car door key left.

  In such cases, if you have a spare key, go to pick up the spare key and use the spare key to open the door, or contact the supplier that provides the key opening service and have them come to you. In some cases, a locked door is opened.

  However, you may not have a spare key, or the spare key may be far away from where the car is.

  Also, if you request a lock release service provider to release the lock, it will be expensive and if the service station of the vendor is far away, you will have to wait for a long time. It becomes various problems, such as it may take a long time and the action schedule after that will come greatly.

The conventional car door key has a risk that the door lock is released or the engine is started by improper operation from the keyhole. Therefore, a system using an IC card as a car door key instead of the key has already been used. It has been published. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
However, in a system using an IC card instead of a key, there is a problem that an IC card reader must be provided on the door of the car when manufacturing the car, and there is a risk of electrical failure. .

Be controlled.

  Furthermore, the vehicle door key confirmation information transmission / reception control means 35 receives the same information from the server 5 to the cellular phone 4 when the server 5 receives information indicating that the vehicle door key 3 is present in the vehicle from the processing device 2. Is processed to send.

  Next, a processing procedure of the automobile door lock release system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  First, it is assumed that the driver of the automobile 1 accidentally does not have the automobile door key 3 and gets off the door by locking the door.

The driver first transmits a user ID number to the server 5 using the mobile phone 4. (Step S1)
The server 5 transmits automobile door key confirmation information to the telephone number destination registered in the user information database 34 in association with the received user ID number. (Step S2)
In the processing device 2 that has received this information, an interrogation radio wave is transmitted from the automobile door key detection means 10. (Step S3)
Here, when the automobile door key 3 is present in the vehicle, the unique information stored in the storage means 20 of the storage medium 17 provided in the automobile door key 3 is transmitted as a response radio wave, and the processing device 2 Received by. (Step S4)
Then, the received unique information is collated with the unique means stored in the storage means 15 in advance. (Step S5)
Only in the case of a match in this verification process, information indicating that the automobile door key 3 is present in the vehicle is transmitted from the communication means 9 of the processing device 2 to the server 5. (Step S6)
However, when the automobile door key 3 does not exist in the vehicle or when it is determined that the vehicle door key 3 does not match in the verification process, the unique information stored in the storage means 20 of the storage medium 17 provided in the automobile door key 3 is stored. As a response radio wave is not transmitted, the processing by the processing device 2 is stopped here and the processing ends.

Next, the server 5 that has received the information indicating that the automobile door key 3 exists in the vehicle transmits the automobile door key presence information to the mobile phone 4 in the same manner. (Step S7)
As a result, the driver can recognize that the automobile door key 3 is present in the vehicle and can recognize that the door lock can be released.

The driver operates the operation unit 26 of the mobile phone 4 to transmit the authentication information for personal verification stored in the storage unit 32 of the IC card 6 from the transmission / reception unit 27 to the processing device 2. (Step S8)
The processing device 2 that has received the authentication information for personal verification performs verification processing with the verification information for personal verification registered in the storage unit 11 in advance and the verification unit 15. (Step S9)
In this collation process, when the collation coincides, the door lock control means 14 releases the door lock. (Step S10)
If there is a mismatch, the door lock is not released and the process ends.

  With the above processing, only the driver having the proper authority can release the door lock.
