  The measurement position information creation unit 31 includes GPS information including orbit information of a plurality of artificial satellites ST (more precisely, three or more artificial satellites ST) constituting the GPS, time information of an atomic clock mounted on the artificial satellite ST, and the like. The measurement position information 371 including the latitude, longitude, and time information of the mobile terminal 3 is created using the antenna capable of receiving the signal and the GPS signal received by the antenna, and stored in the terminal storage unit 37. Hereinafter, the position of the portable terminal 3 obtained by measurement by the measurement position information creation unit 31 is referred to as a measurement position.

Realized. The various programs described above can also be obtained by downloading via a communication network.
The terminal storage unit 37 constitutes a storage unit of the communication system 100 together with the device storage unit 18 of the information processing apparatus 1.

  As the portable terminal 3 having the above functional configuration, for example, a portable terminal or a tablet terminal can be applied.

  Next, an outline of typical processing performed by the communication system 100 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram showing an outline of processing when communication between the information processing apparatus 1 and the portable terminal 3 is established as typical processing performed by the communication system 100. First, measurement position information 371 is created based on GPS signals received by the mobile terminal 3 from a plurality of artificial satellites ST (step S1).

  Subsequently, the terminal communication unit 32 transmits a communication request to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S2). In the case of the challenge / response authentication method, the communication request includes a challenge.

  In the information processing apparatus 1 that has received the communication request, the response unit 12 generates response information, and transmits the generated response information from the apparatus communication unit 11 to the portable terminal 3 (step S3). In the case of the challenge / response authentication method, the response information includes a response.

  The authentication unit 33 authenticates the mobile terminal 3 that has received the response information (step S4). In the case of the challenge / response authentication method, the authentication unit 33 calculates a response and performs authentication by comparing the response with the response received from the information processing apparatus 1. FIG. 3 shows a case where the authentication unit 33 succeeds in authentication and communication is established. In this case, the portable terminal 3 transmits the measurement position information 371 stored in the terminal storage unit 37 to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S5).

  In the information processing apparatus 1 that has received the measurement position information 371, the determination unit 13 compares the received measurement position information 371 with the installation position information 181 stored in the apparatus storage unit 18, thereby determining the information processing apparatus 1. It is determined whether or not the installation position matches the measurement position of the mobile terminal 3 (step S6).

  Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 1 transmits the determination result by the determination unit 13 to the mobile terminal 3 (step S7). In the mobile terminal 3 that has received the determination result, the display unit 35 displays the determination result (step S8).

  Thereafter, the information processing apparatus 1 performs processing according to the determination result (step S9). When the determination unit 13 determines that the installation position of the information processing device 1 and the measurement position of the mobile terminal 3 match, the device control unit 17 starts or continues the process performed by the information processing unit 14. On the other hand, when the determination unit 13 determines that the installation position of the information processing device 1 and the measurement position of the mobile terminal 3 do not match, the device control unit 17 stops at least a part of the processing performed by the information processing unit 14 or the like. Abnormal processing is performed. It is desirable that the information processing apparatus 1 be set so that normal operation cannot be performed until communication authentication in the mobile terminal 3 is successful.

  For example, when the information processing apparatus 1 is a vending machine, when the determination unit 13 determines that the installation position of the information processing apparatus 1 and the measurement position of the mobile terminal 3 do not match, the apparatus control unit 17 performs at least a monetary process. And control to stop some functions including merchandise carry-out processing.

  Thereafter, the portable terminal 3 performs a communication disconnection process (step S10). Thereby, the communication between the information processing apparatus 1 and the portable terminal 3 is disconnected.

  A case where communication is not established as a result of authentication by the authentication unit 33 or a case where communication of various data is not performed will be described later.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an outline of processing of the management method performed by the information processing apparatus 1. First, when the information processing apparatus 1 is powered on (step S11), the apparatus control unit 17 determines whether there is a communication request from the mobile terminal 3 (step S12). When the communication request from the portable terminal 3 does not come (step S12: No), the information processing apparatus 1 repeats step S12 until the communication request from the portable terminal 3 is received.

  When the device communication unit 11 receives a communication request from the mobile terminal 3 (step S12: Yes), the response unit 12 creates response information, and the device communication unit 11 transmits the response information to the mobile terminal 3 (step) S13). When the authentication method in the communication system 100 is the challenge / response authentication method, the communication request includes a challenge, and the response information includes a response.

  Thereafter, when communication authentication is successful on the mobile terminal 3 side, communication is established with the mobile terminal 3 (see FIG. 3). In this case, if communication is normally performed, the device communication unit 11 receives the measurement position information 371 from the mobile terminal 3. When the apparatus communication unit 11 receives the measurement position information 371 from the portable terminal 3 (step S14: Yes), the determination unit 13 receives the received measurement position information 371 and the installation position information 181 stored in the apparatus storage unit 18. It is used to determine whether or not the installation position of the information processing apparatus 1 matches the measurement position of the mobile terminal 3 (step S15). For example, when the measurement position of the mobile terminal 3 is included in the circular area E <b> 1 illustrated in FIG. 2, the determination unit 13 determines that the installation position of the information processing apparatus 1 matches the measurement position of the mobile terminal 3.

  Subsequently, the device communication unit 11 transmits the determination result by the determination unit 13 to the mobile terminal 3 (step S16).

  As a result of the determination by the determination unit 13, when the measurement position information 371 and the installation position information 181 match (step S17: Yes), the information processing apparatus 1 starts a normal operation (step S18). On the other hand, when the measurement position information 371 and the installation position information 181 do not match (step S17: No), the information processing apparatus 1 performs an abnormality process (step S19). Note that the order of the processing of step S16 and steps S17 to S19 may be reversed, or may be performed substantially simultaneously.

  If the measurement position information is not received from the portable terminal 3 in step S14 (step S14: No), communication is not established. For this reason, the information processing apparatus 1 moves to step S19 and performs abnormality processing. As this abnormal process, a process of turning off the power may be performed, or a process of stopping a part of the process of the information processing unit 14 may be performed.

  Here, the outline of processing when the information processing apparatus 1 is subsequently turned on has been described, but for example, when the information processing apparatus 1 is already turned on and normal processing is being performed. The same processing can be performed. If the power is already turned on, the information processing apparatus 1 continues the normal operation if the installation position matches the measurement position after performing the processing of steps S12 to S16. On the other hand, if the installation position does not match the measurement position, the information processing apparatus 1 performs an abnormality process.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an outline of processing of the installation position authentication method executed by the mobile terminal 3. First, when the mobile terminal 3 is powered on (step S21), the terminal control unit 36 activates the measurement position information creation unit 31 (step S22).

  When the measurement position information creation unit 31 receives the GPS signals necessary for creating the measurement position information 371 among the GPS signals transmitted by the plurality of artificial satellites ST (step S23: Yes), the received GPS signals Based on this, measurement position information 371 is created (step S24). On the other hand, when the measurement position information creation unit 31 does not receive the GPS signals necessary for creating the measurement position information 371 (step S23: No), the mobile terminal 3 proceeds to step S35 described later. Here, “the measurement position information creation unit 31 does not receive as many GPS signals as are necessary for creating the measurement position information 371” means that the number (specifically three is not necessary) for creating the measurement position information 371. ) GPS signals cannot be received. Therefore, for example, a case where a GPS signal can be received only from one artificial satellite ST is also included.

  After step S24, the terminal communication unit 32 transmits a communication request to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S25).

  Thereafter, when the terminal communication unit 32 receives response information from the information processing apparatus 1 (step S26: Yes), the authentication unit 33 performs authentication using the response information (step S27). For example, when the authentication unit 33 performs authentication in accordance with the challenge / response authentication method, the authentication unit 33 performs authentication by calculating a response and comparing the response with the response received from the information processing apparatus 1.

  When the authentication unit 33 succeeds in authentication (step S28: Yes), the terminal communication unit 32 transmits the measurement position information 371 stored in the terminal storage unit 37 to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S29).

  Thereafter, when the terminal communication unit 32 receives a determination result about whether or not the installation position and the measurement position match from the information processing apparatus 1 (step S30: Yes), the display unit 35 displays the determination result. (Step S31).

  Subsequently, when the mobile terminal 3 is communicating with the information processing apparatus 1 (step S32: Yes), the terminal control unit 36 performs a process of disconnecting communication (step S33). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 3 ends the series of processes. On the other hand, when the portable terminal 3 is not communicating with the information processing apparatus 1 (step S32: No), the portable terminal 3 ends a series of processes.

  A case where the authentication unit 33 fails in authentication in step S28 (step S28: No) will be described. In this case, the terminal communication unit 32 transmits error information indicating that the authentication has failed to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S34). Subsequently, the terminal control unit 36 causes the display unit 35 to display error information (step S35). After step S35, the mobile terminal 3 proceeds to step S32.

  When the response information from the information processing apparatus 1 is not transmitted in step S26 (step S26: No), and in step S30, the terminal communication unit 32 determines whether or not the installation position and the measurement position match. Is not received from the information processing apparatus 1 (step S30: No), the mobile terminal 3 proceeds to the error information display process of step S35.

  According to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, since the mobile terminal has a function of receiving a positioning signal, the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus subject to unauthorized use prevention is changed to determine the positioning signal. It is not necessary to provide a function for receiving the message, and a desired function for preventing unauthorized use can be realized simply by changing the software configuration. Therefore, according to the first embodiment, unauthorized use can be easily prevented without changing the hardware configuration of an existing device to be prevented from unauthorized use.

  In particular, in the first embodiment, when the information processing apparatus is fixed and installed in a certain place like a vending machine, the portable terminal is used when the administrator performs regular maintenance or daily inspection. If the information processing apparatus is moved illegally, the installation position does not match the measurement position, and some functions of the information processing apparatus are stopped. Under such circumstances, even if a person who intends to use illegally obtains the portable terminal illegally, the information processing apparatus cannot be operated normally. Therefore, unauthorized use can be reliably prevented.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, since only the software (firmware) needs to be changed for the information processing apparatus, unauthorized use is more economical compared with the case where the existing hardware configuration is changed. Can be prevented.

The determination unit 71 uses the measurement position information 371 stored in the terminal storage unit 37 and the installation position information 181 transmitted from the information processing apparatus 5 to determine the installation position of the information processing apparatus 1 and the measurement position of the mobile terminal 3. It is determined whether or not they match.

  Next, an outline of typical processing performed by the communication system 200 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram illustrating an outline of processing when communication between the information processing apparatus 5 and the portable terminal 7 is established as typical processing performed by the communication system 200. In FIG. 7, the processing (steps S41 to S44) from when the mobile terminal 7 acquires the position information until communication is established (steps S41 to S44) sequentially corresponds to steps S1 to S4 described in FIG.

  FIG. 7 shows a case where the authentication unit 33 succeeds in authentication and communication is established as in FIG. In this case, the portable terminal 7 transmits a position information request to the information processing device 5 in step S45 following step S44 (step S45).

  The information processing apparatus 5 that has received the position information request transmits the installation position information 181 stored in the apparatus storage unit 18 to the portable terminal 7 (step S46).

  In the mobile terminal 7 that has received the installation position information 181, the determination unit 71 uses the received installation position information 181 and the measurement position information 371 stored in the terminal storage unit 37 to determine the installation position of the information processing apparatus 5. It is determined whether or not the measurement positions of the portable terminal 7 match (step S47). Thereafter, in the mobile terminal 7, the terminal communication unit 32 transmits the determination result by the determination unit 71 to the information processing device 5 (step S48), and the display unit 35 displays the determination result (step S49).

  The information processing apparatus 5 that has received the determination result performs processing according to the determination result (step S50). The processing content here is the same as the processing content performed by the information processing apparatus 1 according to the determination result (see the description of step S9 in FIG. 3).

  Thereafter, the mobile terminal 3 performs a communication disconnection process (step S51). Thereby, the communication between the information processing device 5 and the mobile terminal 7 is disconnected.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an outline of the management method processing performed by the information processing apparatus 5. In FIG. 8, the processes of steps S61 to S63 sequentially correspond to the processes of steps S11 to S13 of the information processing apparatus 5 described with reference to FIG.

  In step S64, when the apparatus communication unit 11 receives a position information request from the portable terminal 3 (step S64: Yes), the apparatus control unit 17 reads the installation position information 181 stored in the apparatus storage unit 18, and the apparatus communication unit 11 is controlled to transmit the installation position information 181 to the portable terminal 7 (step S65).

  Thereafter, the mobile terminal 7 determines whether or not the installation position of the information processing apparatus 5 and the measurement position of the mobile terminal 7 match using the installation position information 181 and the measurement position information 371, and the determination result Is transmitted to the information processing device 5. When the apparatus communication unit 11 receives the determination result (step S66: Yes) and the determination result is “the installation position and the measurement position match” (step S67: Yes), the information processing apparatus 5 is normally The operation is started (step S68). On the other hand, when the determination result is “the installation position and the measurement position do not match” (step S67: No), the information processing apparatus 5 performs an abnormality process (step S69).

  When the position information request is not received from the portable terminal 3 in step S64 (step S64: No), and when the apparatus communication unit 11 does not receive the determination result in step S66 (step S66: No), the information processing apparatus 1 performs step S69. Move to, and perform error processing.

  Also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the portable terminal 7 can check the installation position while the information processing apparatus 5 is performing a normal operation.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an outline of the process of the installation position authentication method executed by the mobile terminal 7. The processes in steps S71 to S76 sequentially correspond to the processes in steps S21 to S26 of the mobile terminal 3 described with reference to FIG. In addition, when the measurement position information creation part 31 does not receive a GPS signal in step S73 (step S73: No), the portable terminal 7 moves to step S87 described later.

  After step S76, the authentication unit 33 performs authentication using the response information received from the information processing device 5 (step S77). As a result, when the authentication unit 33 succeeds in the authentication (step S78: Yes), the terminal communication unit 32 transmits a position information request to the information processing device 5 (step S79).

  Thereafter, when the installation position information 181 is received from the information processing apparatus 5 (step S80: Yes), the determination unit 71, based on the received installation position information 181 and the measurement position information 371 stored in the terminal storage unit 37, It is determined whether or not the installation position of the information processing device 5 and the measurement position of the mobile terminal 7 match (step S81). Then, the terminal communication part 32 transmits the determination result of the determination part 71 to the information processing apparatus 5 (step S82). The processes in steps S83 to S85 performed by the mobile terminal 7 subsequent to step S82 sequentially correspond to the processes in steps S31 to S33 in FIG. The portable terminal 7 complete | finishes a series of processes after step S85.

  A case where the authentication unit 33 fails in authentication in step S78 (step S78: No) will be described. In this case, the terminal communication unit 32 transmits error information indicating that the authentication has failed to the information processing apparatus 5 (step S86). Subsequently, the terminal control unit 36 causes the display unit 35 to display and output error information (step S87). After step S87, the mobile terminal 7 proceeds to step S84.

  When the response information from the information processing device 5 is not transmitted in step S76 (step S76: No), and when the terminal communication unit 32 does not receive the installation position information 181 from the information processing device 5 in step S80 ( Step S80: No), the portable terminal 7 proceeds to the error information display process of Step S87.

  According to the second embodiment of the present invention described above, since the mobile terminal has a function of receiving a positioning signal, the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus subject to unauthorized use prevention is changed to determine the positioning signal. It is not necessary to provide a function for receiving the message, and a desired function for preventing unauthorized use can be realized simply by changing the firmware configuration. Therefore, according to the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, unauthorized use can be easily prevented without changing the hardware configuration of an existing device to be prevented from unauthorized use.

  Further, according to the second embodiment, since only the software (firmware) of the information processing apparatus needs to be changed, unauthorized use prevention is realized more economically than when the existing hardware configuration is changed. can do. In particular, in the second embodiment, since the function of the determination unit is provided on the mobile terminal side, software changes on the information processing apparatus side can be minimized.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the mobile terminal included in the communication system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The portable terminal 9 shown in the figure includes a measurement position information creation unit 31, a terminal communication unit 32, an authentication unit 33, an input unit 34, a display unit 35, a terminal control unit 36, a terminal storage unit 37, and a time measuring unit that measures time. 91 is provided. Note that the information processing apparatus included in the communication system according to Embodiment 3 is the information processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG.

  Next, an outline of typical processing performed by the communication system according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram illustrating an outline of processing when communication between the information processing apparatus 1 and the portable terminal 9 is established as typical processing performed by the communication system according to the third embodiment. Steps S1A to S10A shown in FIG. 11 are the same as the processes (steps S1 to S10) in the communication system 100 described in FIG. However, in this Embodiment 3, the time measuring part 91 with which the portable terminal 9 is provided measures elapsed time from the time of starting the process (step S1A) which the measurement position information creation part 31 creates the measurement position information 371. ing. The authentication unit 33 performs authentication only when the elapsed time from the time point until the authentication process (step S4A) starts is within a predetermined range.

  The advantage of providing such a time constraint will be described. When the portable terminal 9 performs the authentication process, for example, a case where the measurement position information creation unit 31 cannot receive a GPS signal in the vicinity of the information processing apparatus 1 is assumed. In particular, when the information processing device 1 is a large device that cannot be easily moved, the user (administrator) of the mobile terminal 9 once leaves the installation location of the information processing device 1 and can receive a GPS signal. After performing the measurement position information 371, it is conceivable to return to the installation location of the information processing apparatus 1 and perform the installation position authentication process. However, in such a case, if the time difference between the time when the mobile terminal 9 creates the measurement position information 371 and the time for performing authentication for establishing communication with the information processing apparatus 1 is too large, the measurement position of the mobile terminal 9 There is a possibility that the information 371 is greatly different from the installation position information of the information processing apparatus 1, and there is a high possibility that the two pieces of position information do not match without the determination unit 13 making a determination. In addition, if such a meaningless installation position authentication process is possible, there is a risk of promoting unauthorized use. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the time required from the generation of the measurement position information 371 to the authentication of the communication with the information processing apparatus 1 is limited, so that the installation position authentication process performed by the mobile terminal 9 can be trusted. We are trying to ensure sex.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an outline of the processing of the installation position authentication method executed by the mobile terminal 9. First, when the mobile terminal 9 is powered on (step S91), the terminal control unit 36 activates the measurement position information creation unit 31 (step S92).

  When the measurement position information creation unit 31 receives GPS signals necessary for creating the measurement position information 371 among the GPS signals transmitted by each of the plurality of artificial satellites ST (step S93: Yes), the received GPS signals Based on this, measurement position information 371 is created (step S94). When step S94 ends, the time measuring unit 91 starts measuring elapsed time (step S95). On the other hand, when the measurement position information creation unit 31 cannot receive the GPS signals necessary for creating the measurement position information 371 (step S93: No), the mobile terminal 9 repeats step S93.

  After step S95, the terminal control unit 36 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the time measuring unit 91 started measurement after the measurement position information creating unit 31 created the measurement position information 371 (step S96). When the predetermined time has not elapsed since the time measuring unit 91 started measurement (step S96: No), the terminal communication unit 32 transmits a communication request to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S97).

  Thereafter, the terminal control unit 36 determines again whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the time measuring unit 91 started measurement (step S98). As a result of the determination, when the predetermined time has not elapsed since the time measuring unit 91 started measurement (step S98: No), when the terminal communication unit 32 receives response information from the information processing apparatus 1 (step S99: Yes). The authentication unit 33 performs an authentication process using the response information (step S100). When the terminal communication unit 32 does not receive response information from the information processing apparatus 1 in step S99 (step S99: No), the mobile terminal 9 returns to step 98.

  After step S100, the time measuring unit 91 ends the elapsed time measurement (step S101).

  Processes in steps S102 to S107 subsequent to step S101 sequentially correspond to the processes in steps S28 to S33 in FIG.

  In step S96 or S98, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the time measuring unit 91 started measurement (step 96: Yes or step S98: Yes), the terminal control unit 36 measures the measurement position information 371 stored in the terminal storage unit 37. Is deleted (step S108). Subsequently, the time measuring unit 91 ends the measurement of the elapsed time (step S109). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 9 proceeds to Step S111 described later.

  In step S102, when the authentication unit 33 fails in authentication (step S102: No), the terminal communication unit 32 transmits error information indicating that the authentication has failed to the information processing apparatus 1 (step S110). Subsequently, the display unit 35 displays and outputs error information (step S111). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 9 proceeds to step S106.

  In step S104, when the terminal communication unit 32 does not receive a determination result about whether or not the installation position and the measurement position match from the information processing apparatus 1 (step S104: No), the portable terminal 9 proceeds to step 111. Transition.

  According to the third embodiment of the present invention described above, since the mobile terminal has a function of receiving a positioning signal, the positioning signal is changed by changing the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus targeted for unauthorized use prevention. It is not necessary to provide a function for receiving the message, and a desired function for preventing unauthorized use can be realized simply by changing the software configuration. Therefore, according to the third embodiment, similarly to the first and second embodiments, it is possible to easily prevent unauthorized use without changing the hardware configuration of an existing device to be prevented from unauthorized use. it can.

  Further, according to the third embodiment, since the time from the creation of the measurement position information in the portable terminal to the authentication process is limited, the user (administrator) of the portable terminal can determine the positioning signal in the vicinity of the information processing apparatus. Even if the measurement position information cannot be created without being able to receive the signal, it will move away from the vicinity of the information processing device to a position where it can receive the positioning signal, and within a predetermined time after receiving the positioning signal. If it returns to the vicinity of an information processing apparatus, installation position authentication can be performed. Therefore, according to the third embodiment, it is possible to reliably perform the installation position authentication of the information processing apparatus that is not easy to move like a vending machine.

  Further, according to the third embodiment, since only the software (firmware) of the information processing apparatus needs to be changed, unauthorized use prevention can be realized more economically than when the hardware configuration is changed. Can do.
