Japanese Patent No. 6089268

Although not described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, in order to use an electronic device for providing a service for a user linked with an external server like the housing security system of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the user information on the server is used. It may be necessary to register the electronic device by authentication in order to link it with the information of the electronic device.

For authentication, there is a method of displaying an authentication code on a registered electronic device and inputting it from another terminal of the user in order to confirm the identity of the user. However, such a method is used for an electronic device that cannot display an authentication code, or a device that is installed in a position where it is difficult to see the display even if the device can display it (for example, a position away from the user such as near the ceiling in a room). There is a problem that the authentication process is difficult. Further, in the above authentication method, an electronic device may be operated, but it is difficult for the user to operate the device if it is installed at a position away from the user, and it is difficult to perform the authentication process by such a method. There is a problem.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and one object of the present invention is to perform a reliable authentication process when an authentication code is input from another terminal at the time of registration to a server. It is to provide an authentication system and alarm that can be performed.

The authentication system according to the first aspect of the present invention has a server in which user information is recorded, an operation terminal that accepts user's operation input and can communicate with the server, and a non-operation electronic that can communicate with the server. When registering a non-operational electronic device in the user information of the server, the server sends an authentication code to the non-operational electronic device in response to a request from the operation terminal, and the non-operational electronic device is equipped with the device. It is configured to perform a process of outputting the received authentication code by voice and to send the authentication code input to the operation terminal by the user to the server.

In the present invention, the non-operated electronic device is an electronic device that is not independently operated by the user in the authentication process of the non-operated electronic device (passively, the authentication code is used even if the user does not input the operation). Means the electronic device to be acquired). More specifically, the non-operated electronic device is an electronic device that is not operated by the user at least "from the operation for starting the acquisition of the authentication code to the acquisition of the authentication code". Therefore, the non-operated electronic device is an operation for making the electronic device ready for authentication processing (for example, an operation for turning on the power) or an operation after the electronic device has acquired an authentication code (for example). , After the authentication code is acquired, a switch operation for outputting the authentication code by voice, etc.) may be acceptable.

In the authentication system according to the first aspect of the present invention, the non-operated electronic device performs a process of outputting the received authentication code by voice, and authenticates the user so that the authentication code input to the operation terminal is transmitted to the server. The system is configured. As a result, the authentication code is output to the user by voice by the non-operated electronic device, and the user can input the heard authentication code to the operation terminal to perform the authentication process. In this case, since it is guaranteed that the user who uses the operation terminal that requested the authentication exists in the installation environment of the non-operated electronic device (the place where the voice can be heard), the identity verification can be surely performed. Further, since the non-operated electronic device only performs the process of outputting the authentication code by voice at the time of authentication, it is not necessary to consider the display of the authentication code or the installation position. As a result, when the authentication code is input from another terminal at the time of registration to the server, reliable authentication processing can be performed.

In the authentication system according to the first aspect, preferably, the server transmits the authentication code converted into voice data to the non-operated electronic device, and the non-operated electronic device reproduces the received voice data to perform the authentication code. Is output by voice. With this configuration, the non-operated electronic device can output the authentication code to the user by voice only by playing back the received voice data. That is, for example, since it is not necessary to have a function of performing voice synthesis processing from the received authentication code to generate a voice synthesis voice of the authentication code, it is possible to relax the specification conditions required for non-operated electronic devices. As a result, a wider range of electronic device authentication processing can be performed.

In the authentication system according to the first aspect, preferably, the non-operated electronic device includes a speaker or is communicably connected to a voice output device, and outputs a voice message including the received authentication code by the speaker or the voice output device. do. With this configuration, if the non-operated electronic device is equipped with a speaker, the non-operated electronic device itself can output the authentication code by voice. Further, even if the non-operated electronic device does not have a speaker, if the user owns a voice output device, the authentication code can be output by voice using the voice output device.

In the authentication system according to the first aspect, preferably, the operation terminal is configured to display an input screen indicating that the authentication code output by voice should be input, and to accept the input of the authentication code on the input screen. ing. With this configuration, it is possible to make the user understand that the authentication code is output by voice instead of the general screen display, and then request the user to input the authentication code heard. As a result, the voice is not output suddenly, so that the convenience for the user at the time of authentication can be improved.

In the authentication system according to the first aspect, preferably, the operation terminal displays a confirmation screen as to whether or not to output the authentication code of the non-operated electronic device by voice prior to the voice output of the authentication code, and the authentication is performed on the confirmation screen. It is configured to accept audio output instructions for the code. With this configuration, the user can independently determine the voice output timing by the input operation of the voice output instruction. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user from missing the voice, and thus it is possible to improve the convenience for the user at the time of authentication.

In the authentication system according to the first aspect, preferably, the non-operated electronic device has an information recording medium that records the address information of the server and the unique device identification information of the non-operated electronic device and can be read by the operating terminal. Then, the operation terminal reads information from the information recording medium, sends the device identification information of the non-operated electronic device to the server based on the acquired address information, and the server does not operate based on the acquired device identification information. It is configured to identify an electronic device and send an authorization code to the identified non-operational electronic device . The "device identification information" is a concept including device-specific address information assigned to non-operated electronic devices on the network. With this configuration, the user can simply read the information from the information recording medium of the non-operated electronic device using the operation terminal, and the information necessary for accessing the server and the information necessary for transmitting the authentication code can be stored in the server. Can be sent to. Therefore, the load of the user's input work at the time of authentication can be reduced.

In this case, preferably, the server registers the device identification information of the non-operated electronic device in the user information when the reception of the authentication code from the operating terminal is completed. With this configuration, the unique device identification information used by the server to communicate with the non-operated electronic device can be used as the information to be registered by associating it with the user information. This eliminates the need for the user to separately input device information unrelated to the communication between the server and the non-operated electronic device, such as the serial number of the non-operated electronic device, thus reducing the load of the user's input work at the time of authentication. can.

The alarm device according to the second aspect of the present invention is an alarm device that can be used to provide a service for users by communication via a server by being registered in association with user information recorded in a server. The communication unit that communicates with the server via the network, the detection unit that detects abnormalities in the installation environment of the alarm device, the notification unit that notifies according to the detection result of the detection unit, and the device information are registered in the server. The control unit is provided with a control unit that executes processing for the server, and the control unit responds to a request from the operation terminal used by the user to the server without accepting a proactive operation by the user at the time of registration to the server. It is configured to receive the authentication code sent from the communication unit by the communication unit and output the received authentication code by voice. When the server is registered in the server, the control unit uses the server to provide services for users. The detection result is generated by the detection unit, the generated detection result is transmitted to the server via the communication unit, information is acquired from the server via the communication unit, and notification based on the acquired information is executed by the notification unit. It is configured to do at least one of the things.

In the alarm device according to the second aspect, as described above, at the time of registration to the server, the communication unit receives and receives the authentication code transmitted from the server in response to the request from the operation terminal used by the user to the server. It is provided with a control unit that performs a process of outputting the authenticated authentication code by voice. As a result, as in the authentication system according to the first aspect, the authentication code is output to the user by voice by the processing of the control unit, and the user inputs the heard authentication code to the operation terminal, so that the authentication process can be performed. When the authentication code is input from another terminal at the time of registration to the server, reliable authentication processing can be performed.

According to the present invention, as described above, when the authentication code is input from another terminal at the time of registration to the server, reliable authentication processing can be performed.

It may be in the form of a voice message.

At the time of authentication, the device address information 16b read from the information recording medium 16 of the non-operated electronic device 10 is transmitted from the operating terminal 20 to the server 30. The server 30 is configured to transmit the authentication code 70 to the non-operated electronic device 10 based on the acquired device address information 16b.

(Registration process to server)
Next, the authentication process and the registration process of the non-operated electronic device 10 by the authentication system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 14.

In the present embodiment, when the non-operated electronic device 10 is registered in the user information 60 of the server 30, the server 30 transmits the authentication code 70 to the non-operated electronic device 10 in response to a request from the operation terminal 20. The non-operated electronic device 10 performs a process of outputting the received authentication code 70 by voice, and the authentication code 70 input to the operation terminal 20 by the user is transmitted to the server 30.

In the following, user registration (recording of user name 61, user ID 62, login password 63, etc.) to the server 30 is completed, and each of the operating terminal 20 and the non-operating electronic device 10 accesses the network 2 via the relay device 40. It is assumed that it is in a possible state. Each operation of the non-operated electronic device 10, the operation terminal 20, and the server 30 is executed by the control of the control unit 11, the control unit 21, and the control unit 31, respectively.

In step S1 of FIG. 8, the operating terminal 20 reads information from the information recording medium 16 of the non-operated electronic device 10 in response to the user's operation. The operation terminal 20 acquires the address information 16a and the device address information 16b (see FIG. 9).

In step S2, the operation terminal 20 executes software for using the service for the user in response to the information acquisition. When the software is executed, the operation terminal 20 accesses the server 30 based on the acquired address information 16a in step S3. At this time, since the device address information 16b is incorporated in the address information 16a, the device address information 16b of the non-operated electronic device 10 is transmitted to the server 30. The transmission of the device address information 16b is also a registration request (transmission request for the authentication code 70) of the non-operated electronic device.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation terminal 20 reads information from the information recording medium 16 and transmits the device address information 16b of the non-operational electronic device 10 to the server 30 based on the acquired address information 16a.

In step S4, the server 30 sends a login request to the operating terminal 20. That is, the server 30 requests user authentication prior to device authentication of the non-operated electronic device 10. In step S5, the operation terminal 20 that has received the login request causes the display unit 25 to display the login screen 81 (see FIG. 11). As shown in FIG. 11, on the login screen 81, a user ID input field 81a, a password input field 81b, and a login button 81c are displayed.

According to the login screen 81, the user inputs the user ID 62 and the login password 63 (see FIG. 7) to the operation terminal 20 and inputs the login button 81c. In step S6 of FIG. 8, the operation terminal 20 transmits the user ID 62 and the login password 63 to the server 30 in response to the input. This completes the user login process. It should be noted that there may be a verification on the server 30 side, a response of login completion, a re-input process when the transmitted information is incorrect, and the like, but the description of these processes will be omitted.

When the user authentication is completed, the operation terminal 20 causes the display unit 25 to display the confirmation screen 82 shown in FIG. 12 in step S7. On the confirmation screen 82, a message 82a indicating that the authentication code 70 of the non-operated electronic device 10 is output by voice is displayed. In the example of FIG. 12, the message 82a "When the Next button is pressed, the authentication code is spoken" is displayed on the confirmation screen 82. In the example of FIG. 12, after the authentication code 70 is output by voice, a message 82b instructing that the authentication code 70 should be input is further displayed. That is, the message 82b "Please enter the authentication code you heard" is displayed on the confirmation screen 82. Further, the confirmation screen 82 includes a button 82c for advancing the process and a button 82d for returning the process. When the user inputs the button 82c, the process proceeds to the next, and when the user inputs the button 82d, the login screen 81 is returned.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation terminal 20 displays a confirmation screen 82 as to whether or not to output the authentication code 70 of the non-operational electronic device 10 by voice prior to the voice output of the authentication code 70, and the confirmation screen 82. Is configured to accept the voice output instruction (input of the button 82c) of the authentication code 70.

When the user inputs the button 82c, the operation terminal 20 transmits a request for the authentication code 70 to the server 30 in step S8. In step S9, the server 30 transmits the authentication code 70 to the non-operated electronic device 10 in response to the request from the operating terminal 20. The server 30 generates voice data 71 (see FIG. 9) of the authentication code 70 (eg, "1234"). The server 30 uses the device address information 16b acquired from the operation terminal 20 in step S3 to specify a non-operational electronic device 10 as a transmission destination, and transmits voice data to the specified non-operational electronic device 10.

In step S10, the non-operated electronic device 10 performs a process of outputting the authentication code 70 by voice by reproducing the received voice data 71. As shown in FIG. 10, the non-operated electronic device 10 outputs a voice message including the received authentication code 70 by the speaker 15 or the voice output device 50. That is, when the non-operated electronic device 10 includes the speaker 15, the non-operated electronic device 10 reproduces the voice data 71 by the speaker 15. When the non-operated electronic device 10 does not have the speaker 15, the non-operated electronic device 10 transmits the voice data 71 to the voice output device 50, and performs a process of reproducing the voice data 71 from the voice output device 50. As a result, the user who has accessed the server 30 using the operation terminal 20 can hear the voice of the authentication code 70 (voice of "1234") output by the non-operation electronic device 10.

On the other hand, in step S11 of FIG. 8, the operation terminal 20 displays the input screen 83 shown in FIG. 13 on the display unit 25, and accepts the input of the authentication code 70 on the input screen 83.

The input screen 83 includes an authentication code input field 83a, an utterance button 83b, a button 83c for advancing the process (setting completed), and a button 83d for returning the process. Further, on the input screen 83, a message 83e indicating that the voice-output authentication code 70 should be input is displayed. In the example of FIG. 13, the message 83e "Please enter the uttered authentication code" is displayed on the input screen 83.

As described above, the operation terminal 20 is configured to display the input screen 83 indicating that the voice-output authentication code 70 should be input, and to accept the input of the authentication code 70 on the input screen 83. The user operates the operation terminal 20 and inputs the authentication code 70 (“1234”) heard as voice in the authentication code input field 83a.

When the user inputs the button 83c after inputting the authentication code 70, the operation terminal 20 transmits the input authentication code 70 to the server 30 in step S12. As a result, the authentication code 70 input to the operation terminal 20 by the user is transmitted to the server 30 (see FIG. 10).

Upon receiving the authentication code 70 from the operation terminal 20, the server 30 collates the received authentication code with the generated authentication code in step S13. If the authentication codes match, the server 30 proceeds to step S14 and registers the device address information 16b of the non-operational electronic device 10 for which authentication has been completed in association with the user information 60 as the device information of the non-operational electronic device 10. As described above, when the reception of the authentication code 70 from the operation terminal 20 is completed, the server 30 registers the device address information 16b of the non-operational electronic device 10 in the user information 60 (see FIG. 10).

When the registration is completed, the server 30 transmits the information to the effect that the registration is completed to the operation terminal 20 in step S15. If the received authentication code does not match the transmitted authentication code, the authentication process can be performed again using, for example, another authentication code. Further, the registration process may be terminated when the authentication codes do not match.

The operation terminal 20 that has received the information that the registration is completed causes the display unit 25 to display the completion screen 84 shown in FIG. 14 in step S16. On the completion screen 84, a message 84a (“linking is completed”) indicating that the registration is completed is displayed. As described above, the process of registering the non-operated electronic device 10 in the user information 60 of the server 30 is completed. When the registration is completed, the server 30 and the non-operated electronic device 10 communicate with each other via the network 2 and cooperate with each other to execute the process related to the provision of the service for the user.

(Examples of non-operational electronic devices and services for users)
Next, an example of the non-operated electronic device 10 and the service for the user using the non-operated electronic device 10 will be described.

In the example shown in FIG. 15, the non-operated electronic device 10 is an alarm device 100 installed in the house 3. The alarm device 100 is a device attached to the wall surface WS or the ceiling surface CS in the house 3 to detect an abnormality generated in the house 3 and notify an alarm. The alarm 100 is an example of "non-operated electronic device" and "electronic device" in the claims.

As shown in FIG. 16, the alarm device 100 includes a housing 110, a detection unit 120 composed of a plurality of sensors, a control unit 11, a communication unit 12, and a storage unit 13. The alarm device 100 includes a notification unit 130 that outputs an alarm and the like, an operation unit 140 that receives an operation input, and a power supply unit 150. The control unit 11, the communication unit 12, and the storage unit 13 are as described above. The detection unit 120, the control unit 11, the communication unit 12, the storage unit 13, the notification unit 130, and the power supply unit 150 are housed in the housing 110. The communication unit 12 may be provided separately from the housing 110 and may be retrofitted to the alarm device 100 for a user who desires a service for the user.

The detection unit 120 includes a first sensor 121 that detects at least one of gas and a fire, and a second sensor 122 that acquires environmental information different from that of the first sensor 121. The first sensor 121 includes a methane gas sensor 121a and a CO gas sensor 121b. The methane gas sensor 121a is a gas sensor that detects methane gas contained in city gas or the like. The CO gas sensor 121b is a gas sensor that detects carbon monoxide (CO) gas generated by incomplete combustion of a combustion appliance or the like. That is, the alarm 100 is a household gas alarm that detects city gas and carbon monoxide. The first sensor 121 may include a smoke sensor that detects smoke in the event of a fire.

The second sensor 122 includes a temperature sensor 122a, a humidity sensor 122b, and a motion sensor 122c. The temperature sensor 122a detects the temperature of the installation environment of the alarm device 100. The humidity sensor 122b detects the humidity of the installation environment of the alarm device 100. The motion sensor 122c detects a person existing in the installation environment of the alarm device 100. As the motion sensor 122c, an infrared method, an ultrasonic method, a visible light method, or the like can be adopted. These sensors are an example of the sensor 14 shown in FIG.

The notification unit 130 includes a speaker 15 and a lamp 131. The speaker 15 outputs sound. The lamp 131 outputs an alarm or the like by lighting or blinking. The lamp 131 is composed of, for example, an LED, and is different from a display that displays image information. A plurality of lamps 131 are provided and are configured to notify different information. The lamp 131 is provided with, for example, three lamps 131, each of which has a distinctly different emission color. The emission color is, for example, red, green, orange, or the like. Depending on the emission color, the state of the alarm device 100, the presence or absence of an alarm for each alarm cause, and the like are notified.

The operation unit 140 may be various switches such as a push button type switch, a lever type switch, a rotary type switch, a touch sensor, or the like. The operation unit 140 is composed of, for example, a push button type switch provided in the housing 110. The housing 110 is provided with one operation unit 140. The operation unit 140 receives an input operation (pressing operation) and outputs an input signal to the control unit 11. The operation unit 140 is a switch that outputs binary information of on or off, and is different from the keyboard. As described above, the alarm device 100 is an electronic device that does not have the display function of the authentication code 70 and does not have the input function of the authentication code 70.

The power supply unit 150 is connected to a wiring insertion port in the house 3 by a power cord, receives electric power from a commercial power source, and supplies necessary electric power to each part of the alarm device 100.

The control unit 11 monitors whether or not the detection signals of the methane gas sensor 121a and the CO gas sensor 121b exceed the corresponding threshold values. When the detection signal of the methane gas sensor 121a or the CO gas sensor 121b exceeds the threshold value, the control unit 11 causes the notification unit 130 to output an alarm. That is, the control unit 11 causes the speaker 15 to output at least one of the alarm sound and the alarm message by voice. The control unit 11 outputs an alarm by lighting or blinking the lamp 131.

In the example shown in FIG. 17, the communication unit 12 transmits the detection result of the detection unit 120 to the server 30. The information of these detection signals is used to provide services for users. That is, the communication unit 12 acquires the notification based on the detection result of the detection unit 120 from the server 30. The control unit 11 is configured to control the acquired notification to be output to the notification unit 130. The control unit 11 acquires information related to the service for users from the server 30 via the communication unit 12 and stores it in the storage unit 13. The control unit 11 performs a process of outputting the acquired information from the notification unit 130. For example, the control unit 11 causes the speaker 15 to output the information received from the server 30 by voice.

The service for users includes, for example, causing the alarm device 100 to notify a notification other than the alarm based on the environmental information obtained from the second sensor 122 (temperature sensor 122a, humidity sensor 122b, and motion sensor 122c). The communication unit 12 acquires the non-alarm user notification 91 based on the detection result of the second sensor 122 from the server 30. The control unit 11 controls to output the acquired non-alarm user notification 91 from the notification unit 130.

The non-alarm user notification 91 is, for example, a notification regarding heat stroke based on the detection result of the temperature sensor 122a and the detection result of the humidity sensor 122b. The server 30 analyzes the received detection result, and when the index value based on the temperature and humidity corresponds to the notification level, the alarm device 100 (communication unit 12) notifies the user that the onset of heat stroke should be noted. ), And the notification unit 130 outputs the voice. The index value for heat stroke is, for example, WBGT (Wet-bulb globe temperature). For example, when the WBGT is 28 ° C. or higher and lower than 31 ° C., it corresponds to the caution notification level, and a message to that effect is notified from the alarm device 100. For example, when the WBGT is 31 ° C. or higher, it corresponds to the warning notification level, and a message to that effect is notified from the alarm device 100.

The non-alarm user notification 91 is, for example, a notification regarding air drying based on the detection result of the temperature sensor 122a and the detection result of the humidity sensor 122b. The server 30 analyzes the received detection result, and when the index value based on the temperature and humidity corresponds to the notification level, the server 30 sends a user notification 91 to the alarm device 100 (communication unit 12) to be careful about air drying. It is transmitted and is output by voice from the notification unit 130. The index value for air drying is, for example, absolute humidity. For example, when the absolute humidity is 7 g / m ³ or less, a message indicating that excessive air drying should be taken is notified from the alarm device 100.

The service for users includes, for example, causing the alarm device 100 to notify the service information 92 provided to the user by the business operator of the service for users regardless of the detection result of the detection unit 120. The communication unit 12 acquires the service information 92 provided to the user from the server 30 regardless of the detection result of the detection unit 120. Then, the control unit 11 controls to output the acquired service information 92 to the notification unit 130.

The service information 92 is not particularly limited, but may include, for example, guidance information for periodic inspection of the alarm device 100, information on the replacement time of the alarm device 100, information on a limited-time campaign carried out by the business operator, and the like. Further, the service information 92 may include disaster information related to, for example, an earthquake, a tsunami, a weather, or the like.

The server 30 is configured to transmit the notification 91 for users and the service information 92 at the timing based on the detection result of the motion sensor 122c acquired from the alarm device 100, and notify the alarm device 100. When it is determined that a person exists in the vicinity of the installation location of the alarm device 100 based on the detection result of the motion sensor 122c, the server 30 causes the alarm device 100 to perform notification (voice output) related to the service for users.

The specific contents of the notification 91 for the user and the service information 92 and the notification timing can be set for the server 30 by, for example, the user accessing the server 30 using the operation terminal 20 or the like. The user can receive notification (information provision) by selecting only a desired service from the services for users that can be provided. Further, the user can set a time zone in which the notification can be output and a device for notifying the server 30 when a plurality of non-operated electronic devices 10 capable of being notified are registered. Further, the information provided by voice via the non-operated electronic device 10 is also provided to the operating terminal 20 via the network 2.

(Effect of embodiment)
Hereinafter, the effects of this embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the non-operational electronic device 10 performs a process of outputting the received authentication code 70 by voice, and the authentication code 70 input to the operation terminal 20 by the user is transmitted to the server 30. The authentication system 1 is configured as described above. Further, in the non-operated electronic device 10 of the present embodiment, at the time of registration to the server 30, the communication unit 12 transmits the authentication code 70 transmitted from the server 30 in response to the request from the operation terminal 20 used by the user to the server 30. The control unit 11 is provided with a process of receiving the authentication code 70 by voice and outputting the received authentication code 70 by voice. As a result, the authentication code 70 is output to the user by voice by the non-operated electronic device 10, and the user inputs the heard authentication code 70 to the operation terminal 20, so that the authentication process can be performed. In this case, since it is guaranteed that the user who uses the operation terminal 20 that has requested the authentication exists in the installation environment (the place where the voice can be heard) of the non-operational electronic device 10, the identity verification can be surely performed. Since the non-operated electronic device 10 only performs a process of outputting the authentication code 70 by voice at the time of authentication, it is not necessary to consider the display and the installation position of the authentication code 70. As a result, when the authentication code 70 is input from another terminal at the time of registration to the server 30, reliable authentication processing can be performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the server 30 transmits the authentication code 70 converted into the voice data 71 to the non-operated electronic device 10, and the non-operated electronic device 10 reproduces the received voice data 71. By doing so, a process of outputting the authentication code 70 by voice is performed. As a result, the non-operated electronic device 10 can output the authentication code 70 to the user by voice only by reproducing the received voice data 71. That is, for example, since it is not necessary to have a function of performing voice synthesis processing from the received authentication code 70 to generate the synthetic voice of the authentication code 70, it is possible to relax the specification conditions required for the non-operated electronic device 10. As a result, a wider range of electronic device authentication processing can be performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the non-operated electronic device 10 includes the speaker 15 or is communicably connected to the voice output device 50, and the voice message including the received authentication code 70 is transmitted to the speaker 15 or voice. Output by the output device 50. As a result, if the non-operated electronic device 10 includes the speaker 15, the non-operated electronic device 10 itself can output the authentication code 70 by voice. Even if the non-operated electronic device 10 does not have the speaker 15, if the user owns the voice output device 50, the authentication code 70 can be output by voice using the voice output device 50.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the operation terminal 20 displays the input screen 83 indicating that the voice-output authentication code 70 should be input, and accepts the input of the authentication code 70 on the input screen 83. It is configured as follows. As a result, the user can be made aware that the authentication code 70 is output by voice instead of the general screen display, and then the user can be requested to input the authentication code 70 that has been heard. Therefore, since the voice is not output suddenly, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user at the time of authentication.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the operation terminal 20 displays a confirmation screen 82 as to whether or not to output the authentication code 70 of the non-operated electronic device 10 by voice prior to the voice output of the authentication code 70. The confirmation screen 82 is configured to accept the voice output instruction of the authentication code 70. As a result, the user can independently determine the voice output timing by the input operation of the voice output instruction. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user from missing the voice, and thus it is possible to improve the convenience for the user at the time of authentication.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the non-operated electronic device 10 records the address information 16a of the server 30 and the device address information 16b of the non-operated electronic device 10, and information recording readable by the operating terminal 20. The operation terminal 20 has a medium 16, reads information from the information recording medium 16, and transmits the device address information 16b of the non-operated electronic device 10 to the server 30 based on the acquired address information 16a, and the server 30 sends the device address information 16b to the server 30. The authentication code 70 is configured to be transmitted to the non-operated electronic device 10 based on the acquired device address information 16b. As a result, the user can read the information from the information recording medium 16 of the non-operated electronic device 10 by using the operation terminal 20, and can obtain the information necessary for accessing the server 30 and the information necessary for transmitting the authentication code 70. It can be sent to the server 30. Therefore, the load of the user's input work at the time of authentication can be reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the server 30 registers the device address information 16b of the non-operational electronic device 10 in the user information 60 when the reception of the authentication code 70 from the operation terminal 20 is completed. As a result, the unique device address information 16b used by the server 30 to communicate with the non-operated electronic device 10 can be used as information to be directly linked to the user information 60 and registered. This eliminates the need for the user to separately input device information unrelated to the communication between the server 30 and the non-operated electronic device 10, such as the serial number of the non-operated electronic device 10, so that the user's input work at the time of authentication can be performed. The load can be reduced.

Further, in the above embodiment, the user registration is completed in advance at the time of authentication of the non-operated electronic device 10, and an example of starting from the login process is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. User registration and authentication / registration of the non-operated electronic device 10 may be performed at the same time.

In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, when the server 30 receives the device registration request in step S3, the server 30 transmits the user registration request to the operation terminal 20 in step S21. At this time, the server 30 may perform an inquiry process as to whether or not the user registration is performed for the operation terminal 20. In step S22, the operation terminal 20 displays a user registration screen (not shown). The user inputs necessary items such as a user name 61 and a login password 63 on the user registration screen. The user ID 62 is assigned by the server 30. In step S23, the operation terminal 20 transmits the user information 60 input by the user to the server 30. In step S24, the server 30 newly records the received user information 60 and sends a notification of the completion of user registration to the operation terminal 20. After that, the process proceeds to the process after step S7 shown in FIG.

Further, in the above embodiment, the authentication code 70 is a 4-digit number (for example, "1234"), and the non-operational electronic device 10 outputs the voice "1234 (Ichinisanyon)" of the number. The present invention is not limited to this. The authentication code 70 may be other than a number. For example, the authentication code 70 may be information represented by a figure or a picture. That is, sound or voice may be output from the non-operated electronic device 10 and authentication may be performed by selecting a figure or a picture related to the output sound or voice from the operation terminal 20. As an example, when the non-operated electronic device 10 outputs voices such as "one (dog bark)", "one (dog bark)", and "meow (cat bark)", the operation terminal 20 displays "one". "Dog picture", "Dog picture", "Cat picture" are selected. Authentication is completed when the correct picture is selected.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the utterance button 83b is provided on the input screen 83 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, it is not necessary to provide the utterance button 83b on the input screen 83. Further, when the voice of the authentication code 70 is output, the number of times the voice of the authentication code 70 is output is not limited to one, and may be a plurality of times. By outputting the authentication code 70 by voice a plurality of times, it is possible to prevent the user from overhearing. If the authentication code 70 is output by voice only once and the user wants to output the voice again, another authentication code 70 may be reacquired and the newly acquired authentication code 70 may be output by voice. good.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the operation terminal 20 reads information from the information recording medium 16 and transmits the device address information 16b of the non-operational electronic device 10 to the server 30 based on the acquired address information 16a. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, the information recording medium 16 does not have to be used. The user may directly input the address information 16a and the device address information 16b into the operation terminal 20 and have the server 30 transmit the address information 16a and the device address information 16b.

Further, in the above embodiment, not only the information recording medium 16 which is a two-dimensional code but also the character string (URL) of the address information 16a is printed on the label 17, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, only the information recording medium 16 may be printed on the label 17.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the device address information 16b is incorporated as a part of the address information 16a is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. The device address information 16b does not have to be incorporated in the address information 16a. In this case, after the operation terminal 20 accesses the server 30 by the address information 16a, the device address information 16b may be separately transmitted.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the authentication is completed, the server 30 shows an example in which the device address information 16b of the non-operated electronic device 10 is registered in the user information 60, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, the information registered in the user information 60 may be device information other than the device address information 16b. The information registered in the user information 60 may be any information unique to each individual non-operated electronic device 10, and may be, for example, the serial number of the non-operated electronic device 10.
