Specifically, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 authenticates the user authentication ID and the user authentication password included in the vehicle allocation request information, and the authentication result of either the authentication success or the authentication failure. Is output to the communication unit 101.
When the user authentication is successful, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 outputs information on the handle name of the user included in the vehicle allocation request information to the display control unit 105 and instructs display control of the handle name. Further, when the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 succeeds in the user authentication, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 outputs the current position information of the user included in the vehicle allocation request information to the vehicle control unit 106, and the vehicle is sent to the point indicated by the current position information. Instructs automatic driving control to run.

The boarding authentication unit 104 performs authentication based on the boarding request information input from the communication unit 101 to determine whether the user who requested boarding is the same as the user who requested the boarding. Specifically, the boarding authentication unit 104 performs authentication of authentication information included in the boarding request information, and outputs an authentication result indicating whether the authentication is successful or the authentication fails to the communication unit 101.
When the authentication is successful, the boarding authentication unit 104 instructs the vehicle control unit 106 to perform control for opening the door of the vehicle.

The display control unit 105 performs control to display the handle name on the display device 303 based on the user handle name information and the display control instruction input from the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103. The display control unit 105 performs adjustment such as inversion, rotation, enlargement, or reduction of the display information of the handle name so that the handle name can be visually recognized by a user outside the vehicle, and displays the information on the display device 303. .
The display device 303 is a display provided on the windshield, rear glass, or roof of the vehicle, or a head-up display in the vehicle.

  The vehicle control unit 106 controls the vehicle control device 304 based on the current position information and the automatic driving control instruction input from the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 and causes the vehicle to automatically travel to the point indicated by the input current position information. Further, the vehicle control unit 106 controls the vehicle control device 304 based on the control instruction to open the vehicle door input from the boarding authentication unit 104, and opens the vehicle door so that the user can get on. .

  Although not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the vehicle X includes an antenna that obtains directivity in a specific direction, for example, a sector antenna, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 specifies the direction in which the vehicle allocation request information is received. . Specifically, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 receives vehicle allocation request information from a user located on the vehicle lane side of the vehicle, or from a user located on the vehicle lane side opposite to the vehicle lane of the host vehicle. It is possible to identify whether a vehicle allocation request has been received. The vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 can be configured to preferentially select vehicle allocation request information from a user located on the traveling lane side of the host vehicle.

Next, a hardware configuration example of the in-vehicle authentication device 100 will be described.
3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating a hardware configuration example of the in-vehicle authentication device 100 according to the first embodiment.
A communication unit 101 in the in-vehicle authentication device 100 is a transmission / reception device 100a that performs wireless communication with a mobile terminal. The vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the boarding authentication unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the vehicle control unit 106 in the in-vehicle authentication device 100 may be a processing circuit 100b that is dedicated hardware as shown in FIG. 3A. As shown in 3B, the processor 100c may execute a program stored in the memory 100d.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the boarding authentication unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the vehicle control unit 106 are dedicated hardware, the processing circuit 100b includes, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a program An integrated processor, a processor programmed in parallel, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or a combination thereof is applicable. The functions of the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the boarding authentication unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the vehicle control unit 106 may be realized by a processing circuit, or the functions of the units may be realized by a single processing circuit. Good.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, when the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the boarding authentication unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the vehicle control unit 106 are processors 100c, the function of each unit is based on software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. Realized. Software or firmware is described as a program and stored in the memory 100d. The processor 100c implements the functions of the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the boarding authentication unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the vehicle control unit 106 by reading and executing the program stored in the memory 100d. That is, when the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the boarding authentication unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the vehicle control unit 106 are executed by the processor 100c, each step shown in FIG. 4 described later is executed as a result. A memory 100d for storing the program is provided. Further, it can be said that these programs cause the computer to execute the procedures or methods of the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the boarding authentication unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the vehicle control unit 106.

Here, the processor 100c is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a processing device, an arithmetic device, a processor, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, or a DSP (Digital Signal Processor).
The memory 100d may be, for example, a nonvolatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a flash memory, an EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), or an EEPROM (Electrically EPROM). Further, it may be a magnetic disk such as a hard disk or a flexible disk, or an optical disk such as a mini disk, CD (Compact Disc), or DVD (Digital Versatile Disc).

  It should be noted that some of the functions of the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the boarding authentication unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the vehicle control unit 106 may be realized by dedicated hardware and partly realized by software or firmware. Good. As described above, the processing circuit 100b in the in-vehicle authentication device 100 can realize the above-described functions by hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof.

Next, the operation of the in-vehicle authentication device 100 will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the in-vehicle authentication device 100 according to the first embodiment.
In the flowchart of FIG. 4, an example is described in which the communication unit 101 of the in-vehicle authentication device 100 receives vehicle allocation request information via the antenna 301 and receives boarding request information via the authentication device 302.
When the communication unit 101 receives the vehicle allocation request information from the user's mobile terminal (step ST1), the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 performs the user authentication process using the authentication ID and the authentication password included in the vehicle allocation request information ( Step ST2). The vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 determines whether or not the user authentication is successful (step ST3). If the user authentication is not successful (step ST3; NO), the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 discards the vehicle allocation request information (step ST4) and returns to the process of step ST1.

  On the other hand, when the authentication is successful (step ST3; YES), the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 determines whether or not the handle name is included in the vehicle allocation request information (step ST5). If the handle name is included (step ST5; YES), the process proceeds to step ST10. On the other hand, when the handle name is not included (step ST5; NO), the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 outputs a handle name acquisition request via the communication unit 101 and the antenna 301 (step ST6). The vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 determines whether a handle name has been received via the communication unit 101 (step ST7). When the handle name is received (step ST7; YES), the process proceeds to step ST10.

  When the handle name is not received (step ST7; NO), the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 determines whether or not a preset standby time has elapsed (step ST8). When the set standby time has elapsed (step ST8; YES), the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 discards the vehicle allocation request information (step ST9) and returns to the process of step ST1. On the other hand, when the set standby time has not elapsed (step ST8; NO), the determination process of step ST7 is repeated.

When it is determined that there is a handle name in step ST5 or when a handle name is received in step ST7, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 is allocated with an authentication result indicating that the authentication of the user who requested the vehicle allocation is successful. Authentication information necessary for boarding the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as authentication information at the time of boarding) is transmitted to the user's portable terminal via the communication unit 101 (step ST10).
The vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 notifies the display control unit 105 of the authentication completion of the user who requested the vehicle allocation and the handle name of the user. The display control unit 105 performs display control for displaying the user's handle name on the display device 303 based on the completion of user authentication notified from the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 (step ST11).
Similarly, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 notifies the vehicle control unit 106 of the completion of authentication of the user who requested the vehicle allocation and vehicle allocation request information. When the vehicle control unit 106 is notified of the completion of user authentication notified from the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103, the vehicle control unit 304 performs automatic driving control for causing the vehicle to travel to the point indicated by the current position information included in the vehicle allocation request information. (Step ST12).

  The vehicle control unit 106 refers to the vehicle travel information input from the vehicle control device 304, and determines whether or not the vehicle has stopped (step ST13). If the vehicle is not stopped (step ST13; NO), the process returns to step ST12. On the other hand, when the vehicle stops (step ST13; YES), the vehicle control unit 106 notifies the boarding authentication unit 104 that the vehicle has stopped. When the vehicle control unit 106 notifies the boarding authentication unit 104 that the vehicle is stopped, the boarding authentication unit 104 outputs information for requesting input of authentication information when boarding to the authentication device 302 via the communication unit 101 (step ST14). The boarding authentication unit 104 determines whether or not authentication information at the time of boarding has been input via the authentication device 302 (step ST15).

  When the boarding authentication information is input (step ST15; YES), the boarding authentication unit 104 compares the input boarding authentication information with the boarding authentication information transmitted by the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 in step ST10. Then, it is determined whether or not they match (step ST16). If they do not match (step ST16; NO), the process returns to step ST14. On the other hand, if they match (step ST16; YES), the boarding authentication unit 104 notifies the vehicle control unit 106 of the completion of authentication of the user who requested the boarding. The vehicle control unit 106 instructs the vehicle control device 304 to perform control for opening the vehicle door (step ST17), and ends the process.

  On the other hand, when the authentication information at the time of boarding is not input (step ST15; NO), the boarding authentication part 104 determines whether the set waiting time has passed (step ST18). If the set standby time has not elapsed (step ST18; NO), the process of step ST15 is repeated. On the other hand, when the set standby time has elapsed (step ST18; YES), the boarding authentication unit 104 discards the authentication information at the time of boarding (step ST19), and returns to the process of step ST1.

Next, the authentication unit 102 will be described in more detail.
In the authentication unit 102, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 performs authentication processing at the time of vehicle allocation request in step ST2, and the boarding authentication unit 104 performs authentication processing at the time of boarding in step ST16.
The vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 and the boarding authentication unit 104 may perform authentication processing at the time of vehicle allocation request and authentication processing at the time of boarding by the same authentication method. Specifically, in step ST2, the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 performs an authentication process at the time of the vehicle allocation request using the authentication ID and the authentication password included in the vehicle allocation request information received by WiFi Direct via the antenna 301 and the communication unit 101. If so, the boarding authentication unit 104 also performs an authentication process when boarding using the authentication ID and the authentication password included in the boarding request information received by WiFi Direct via the antenna 301 and the communication unit 101 in step ST16.

  When performing the authentication process at the time of dispatching and the authentication process at the time of boarding using the same authentication ID and authentication password received by WiFi Direct via the antenna 301 and the communication unit 101, the authentication unit 102 performs step ST2. Subsequently, the authentication completion process at the time of boarding is executed after the authentication completion state at the time of the vehicle allocation request that has been continued is terminated. Therefore, when the communication unit 101 receives the vehicle allocation request information from another user until the authentication unit 102 ends the authentication completion state at the time of the vehicle allocation request and executes the authentication process at the time of boarding, There is a case where authentication processing of the user's dispatch request is started.

This can be suppressed by performing authentication processing at the time of dispatching and authentication processing at the time of boarding by different authentication methods.
For example, when the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 performs an authentication process using the authentication ID and the authentication password included in the vehicle allocation request information received by WiFi Direct via the antenna 301 and the communication unit 101, the boarding authentication unit 104 performs WiFi Direct. For example, an authentication process based on barcode verification via a barcode reader which is the authentication apparatus 302 is performed instead of the authentication process using. In this case, the authentication unit 102 can execute the process of authentication at the time of boarding without ending the authentication completion state at the time of request for dispatch.
In this way, by making the authentication method at the time of dispatch request different from the authentication method at the time of boarding, it becomes possible to perform the authentication process at the time of boarding without ending the authentication completion state at the time of dispatch request. Thereby, it can prevent starting the authentication process of the allocation request of another user at the time of the authentication process at the time of boarding.

  In the above, an example is shown in which WiFi Direct is applied as an authentication method at the time of a vehicle allocation request, and barcode verification via a barcode reader is applied as an authentication method at the time of boarding. This combination of authentication methods is an example. These can be changed as appropriate. Since various authentication devices such as a barcode reader or an information input device can be applied as the authentication device 302, WiFi Direct is applied as an authentication method at the time of dispatch request and password input is applied as an authentication method at the time of boarding. Various combinations such as combinations to be performed can be set.

Next, information displayed on the display device 303 by the display control of the display control unit 105 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

In step ST11 of the flowchart of FIG. 4, when the display control unit 105 performs display control to display the input steering wheel name on the display device 303, the steering wheel name is displayed on the windshield of the vehicle X.

In the example of FIG. 5, the handle name “Robo Takushi” is displayed on the windshield of the vehicle X as the display Y. The characters “Robo Takushi” are displayed in the direction of the characters visible to users outside the vehicle. The user A who has output the vehicle allocation request information can recognize that the vehicle X that requested the vehicle allocation has arrived by visually recognizing the display of the handle name “Robo Takushi” which is the display Y.
When the user B outputs the vehicle allocation request information and waits for the vehicle to arrive at the same point as the user A, the user B displays the handle name different from his handle name “takuro” Y It is possible to easily recognize that the vehicle X on which is displayed is not a vehicle that has been dispatched to itself.

  FIG. 6B shows a case where the display device 303 projects an image on the head-up display 305 in the vehicle. In the case of FIG. 6B, the display control unit 105 reverses the front and back of the image projected on the projection surface 305 a of the normal head-up display 305, so that the handle name can be viewed from the user A outside the vehicle. Control to display in 305 is performed.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, a vehicle allocation request is made based on the communication unit 101 that transmits and receives information to and from the user's terminal and the vehicle allocation request information that requests the vehicle allocation.

  In addition, according to the first embodiment, the authentication method for authenticating the user who requested the vehicle allocation by the vehicle allocation authentication unit 103 and the user who requested the boarding to the vehicle to which the vehicle authentication unit 104 was allocated. Since the authentication method for performing the authentication is different from each other, it is possible to perform the authentication process at the time of boarding without ending the authentication completion state at the time of the dispatch request. Thereby, it can prevent starting the authentication process of the allocation request of another user at the time of the authentication process at the time of boarding.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the display control unit uses at least one of the user's handle name, the user's nickname, the user's real name, or a user-specific symbol number as the user identification information.
