Example 1
Before describing the present invention in detail, an outline will be described. Embodiment 1 of the present invention relates to an authentication system for reserving boarding of a vehicle capable of automatic driving from a terminal device, and authenticating the user when the user carrying the terminal device gets on the vehicle. An object of the present authentication system is to make it unnecessary to register biometric information of a user and to easily identify a vehicle on which the user should get on and a user who can get on the vehicle. A user reserves the boarding of a vehicle with a server by operating a terminal device. When the reservation is completed, the server transmits the first authentication image and the first authentication information to the terminal device, and transmits the second authentication image and the second authentication information to the communication unit of the vehicle. For example, it is assumed that the first authentication image and the second authentication image are the same image, and the first authentication information and the second authentication information are also the same information.

  The vehicle includes a display unit with a screen facing outside the vehicle, and displays a second authentication image on the display unit. On the other hand, the user searches for a vehicle on which the same image as the first authentication image displayed on the terminal device is displayed. Therefore, the user recognizes that the vehicle is reserved by finding the vehicle on which the second authentication image is displayed on the display unit. Following this, the terminal device displays the first authentication information. The user causes the imaging unit of the vehicle to image the first authentication information. The vehicle executes an authentication process based on the captured first authentication information and second authentication information. When the first authentication information and the second authentication information match, the vehicle permits the user to get on.

  FIG. 1 shows the structure of the vehicle 30. The vehicle 30 includes a display unit 32 and an imaging unit 34. This is a side view showing the appearance of the vehicle 30. The display unit 32 is installed in the vehicle 30 so that an image can be displayed toward the outside of the vehicle. The imaging part 34 is installed in the side part of the vehicle 30, and is used as a side mirror, for example.

  FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the authentication system 100. The authentication system 100 includes a terminal device 10, a server 20, and a vehicle 30. The terminal device 10 includes an operation unit 50, a control unit 52, a communication unit 54, a sharing unit 56, a receiving unit 58, a storage unit 60, a display unit 62, and a notification unit 64. The server 20 includes a communication unit 70, a reservation / distribution unit 72, a sharing unit 74, a first transmission unit 76, and a second transmission unit 78. The vehicle 30 includes a display unit 32, a communication unit 36, a control unit 38, a storage unit 40, a reception unit 42, and a processing unit 44.

  The vehicle 30 is configured to be capable of automatic driving, and can be unmanned, for example. In addition, a reservation for boarding the vehicle 30 is possible. The terminal device 10 is carried by a user who should get on the vehicle 30 by reservation. The terminal device 10 is, for example, a mobile phone terminal or a smartphone. The server 20 can communicate with the terminal device 10 and the vehicle 30, and reserves / distributes the vehicle 30 in response to a request from the terminal device 10. In addition, the server 20 transmits an authentication image and authentication information to be used for authentication to the terminal device 10 and the vehicle 30. Here, (1) reservation of a vehicle and (2) authentication at the time of boarding in the authentication system 100 will be described in the order of processing.

(1) Reservation of vehicle The communication unit 54 of the terminal device 10 executes communication with the server 20. Communication is, for example, a combination of wireless communication and wired communication. The terminal device 10 executes a reservation service for the vehicle 30 provided by the server 20 through communication in the communication unit 54. The reservation service screen received by the communication unit 54 is displayed on the display unit 62 by the control unit 52. 3A to 3C show screens displayed on the display unit 62 of the terminal device 10. FIG. 3A shows a reservation service screen. While viewing such a screen, the user uses the operation unit 50 to input information to “date and time”, “boarding place”, “get-off place”, and “terminal ID” in the reservation content area 200. “Date and time” and “boarding place” indicate the time and position where the user wants to get on. The “terminal ID” is information for specifying the terminal device 10. The “terminal ID” may include an e-mail address used by the user. When information is input to the reservation content area 200, the reservation button 202 is selected. 3 (b)-(c) will be described later, and the description returns to FIG.

  The operation unit 50 includes, for example, a touch panel and a keyboard, and receives input from the user. Input from the user includes input of information into the reservation content area 200 and selection of the reservation button 202. The operation unit 50 outputs an input to the control unit 52. The control unit 52 controls the operation of the terminal device 10. When the reservation button 202 is selected, the control unit 52 outputs a request for reservation based on the content input in the reservation content area 200 (hereinafter referred to as “reservation content”) to the communication unit 54. The communication unit 54 transmits a reservation request to the server 20.

  The communication unit 70 of the server 20 executes communication with the communication unit 54 of the terminal device 10. In cooperation with the communication unit 70, the reservation / distribution unit 72 executes the above-described reservation service. The reservation / distribution unit 72 transmits the above-described reservation service screen to the terminal device 10 connected via the communication unit 70. Further, the reservation / distribution unit 72 receives a reservation request from the terminal device 10 connected via the communication unit 70. The reservation / distribution unit 72 determines the allocation of the vehicle 30 suitable for the reservation content included in the reservation request. Since a known technique may be used to determine the allocation of the vehicle 30, the description thereof is omitted here.

  After the vehicle allocation is determined, the reservation / vehicle allocation unit 72 determines the first authentication image and the first authentication information to be transmitted to the terminal device 10, and the second authentication image and the second authentication information to be transmitted to the vehicle 30. For example, the reservation / distribution unit 72 stores a plurality of different first authentication images in advance, and selects one first authentication image from them. In addition, the reservation / distribution unit 72 selects the first authentication information, the second authentication image, and the second authentication information in the same manner as the first authentication image. Here, for the sake of clarity, it is assumed that the first authentication image and the second authentication image are the same image, and the first authentication information and the second authentication information are the same information. The first authentication image and the second authentication image have designs that can be distinguished from other images when viewed by the user. The first authentication information and the second authentication information are, for example, QR codes (registered trademark). The reservation / distribution unit 72 outputs the first authentication image to the sharing unit 74, outputs the first authentication information to the first transmission unit 76, and sends the second authentication image and the second authentication information to the second transmission unit 78. Output.

  The sharing unit 74 and the first transmission unit 76 perform communication with the terminal device 10. The communication unit 70, the sharing unit 74, and the first transmission unit 76 are integrally configured, but are described as separate components here for the sake of clarity. The sharing unit 74 shares the first authentication image with the terminal device 10 by transmitting the first authentication image to the terminal device 10. The first transmission unit 76 transmits the first authentication information to the terminal device 10. The second transmission unit 78 performs communication with the communication unit 36 of the vehicle 30. Here, the communication is, for example, a combination of wireless communication and wired communication. The second transmission unit 78 transmits the second authentication image and the second authentication information to the communication unit 36 of the vehicle 30.

(2) Authentication during boarding The communication unit 36 of the vehicle 30 receives the second authentication image and the second authentication information from the second transmission unit 78 of the server 20. The communication unit 36 outputs the second authentication image and the second authentication information to the control unit 38. The control unit 38 controls the operation of the vehicle 30. The control unit 38 causes the storage unit 40 to store the second authentication image and the second authentication information. Following this, the control unit 38 displays a screen for informing that the reservation has been made on the display unit 32. 4A to 4B show screens displayed on the display unit 32 of the vehicle 30. FIG. As shown in FIG. 4A, the characters “reserved car” are displayed on the screen. FIG. 4B will be described later, and the processing returns to FIG. Further, the control unit 38 automatically drives the vehicle 30 so as to move to the “boarding place” in the reservation content. Since this publicly known technique should just be used about this automatic operation, explanation is omitted here.

  When the control unit 38 detects that the vehicle 30 has arrived at the boarding location, the control unit 38 displays the second authentication image stored in the storage unit 40 instead of the “reserved vehicle” display shown in FIG. Is displayed on the display unit 32. FIG. 4B shows the second authentication image 220 displayed on the screen. Returning to FIG. Such a second authentication image 220 can be confirmed from outside the vehicle as shown in FIG.

  The sharing unit 56 of the terminal device 10 shares the first authentication image with the server 20 by receiving the first authentication image from the sharing unit 74 of the server 20. In addition, the receiving unit 58 receives the first authentication information from the first transmitting unit 76 of the server 20. The communication unit 54, the sharing unit 56, and the receiving unit 58 are integrally configured, but are described as separate components here for the sake of clarity. The control unit 52 receives the first authentication image from the sharing unit 56 and also receives the first authentication information from the receiving unit 58. The control unit 52 causes the storage unit 60 to store the first authentication image and the first authentication information.

  The user operates the operation unit 50 to input an instruction for causing the display unit 62 to display the first authentication image. When receiving an instruction from the operation unit 50, the control unit 52 causes the display unit 62 to display the first authentication image stored in the storage unit 60. FIG. 3B shows a screen displayed on the display unit 62. A first authentication image 210 is displayed on the screen, and a license plate of the vehicle 30 to be boarded is also displayed. Other information regarding the vehicle 30 to be boarded may be displayed. The user confirms the first authentication image 210 displayed on the display unit 62 and searches for the vehicle 30 on which the second authentication image 220 identical to the first authentication image 210 is displayed on the display unit 32. That is, the user recognizes the vehicle 30 to be boarded based on the identity of the first authentication image 210 and the second authentication image 220. Therefore, it can be said that the first authentication image 210 is an image to be compared with the second authentication image 220 displayed on the display unit 32 of the vehicle 30. Returning to FIG.

  After recognizing the vehicle 30 to be boarded, the user operates the operation unit 50 to input an instruction to display the first authentication information on the display unit 62. Upon receiving an instruction from the operation unit 50, the control unit 52 outputs the first authentication information stored in the storage unit 60 to the notification unit 64. The notification unit 64 causes the display unit 62 to display the first authentication information. FIG. 3C shows a screen displayed on the display unit 62. On the screen, the first authentication information 212 is displayed as a QR code (registered trademark). The first authentication information 212 may be other than the QR code (registered trademark). Returning to FIG. The user holds the first authentication information 212 displayed on the display unit 62 over the reception unit 42 of the vehicle 30. Here, the reception unit 42 corresponds to the imaging unit 34 in FIG. 1, and the imaging unit 34 images the first authentication information 212. That is, the notification unit 64 notifies the vehicle 30 of the first authentication information 212 by causing the imaging unit 34 of the vehicle 30 to image the displayed first authentication information 212. As described above, in the terminal device 10, after the display unit 62 displays the first authentication image 210, the notification unit 64 notifies the vehicle 30 of the first authentication information 212.

  As described above, the reception unit 42 of the vehicle 30 corresponds to the imaging unit 34 in FIG. 1, and receives the first authentication information 212 from the terminal device 10 by imaging the first authentication information 212. The accepting unit 42 outputs the first authentication information 212 to the processing unit 44. When the processing unit 44 receives the first authentication information 212 from the reception unit 42, the processing unit 44 receives the second authentication information from the storage unit 40 via the control unit 38. The processing unit 44 executes the authentication process by comparing the first authentication information 212 and the second authentication information. When the first authentication information 212 and the second authentication information match, the processing unit 44 determines that the authentication process has succeeded and permits the reserved vehicle 30. The processing unit 44 notifies the control unit 38 of permission for the reserved vehicle 30.

  When receiving the permission, the control unit 38 unlocks the door lock (not shown) of the vehicle 30. When the control unit 38 detects that the user has boarded by a seating sensor (not shown) or the like installed in the vehicle 30, the control unit 38 locks the door lock of the vehicle 30 and moves to the “get off place” in the reservation content. Then, the vehicle 30 is automatically driven.

  This configuration can be realized in terms of hardware by a CPU, memory, or other LSI of any computer, and in terms of software, it can be realized by a program loaded in the memory, but here it is realized by their cooperation. Draw functional blocks. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms only by hardware, or by a combination of hardware and software.

  The operation of the authentication system 100 configured as above will be described. FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing a boarding procedure by the authentication system 100. The terminal device 10 transmits a reservation request to the server 20 (S10). The server 20 executes the reservation (S12). The server 20 transmits the first authentication image / first authentication information to the terminal device 10 (S14), and transmits the second authentication image / second authentication information to the vehicle 30 (S16). The vehicle 30 displays the second authentication image (S18). The terminal device 10 displays the first authentication image (S20). By comparing the first authentication image and the second authentication image, the user specifies the vehicle 30 to be boarded. The terminal device 10 displays the first authentication information (S22), and the first authentication information is captured by the vehicle 30 (S24). The vehicle 30 executes an authentication process (S26) and unlocks (S28).

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are flowcharts showing a boarding procedure by the terminal device 10. In FIG. 6A, the communication unit 54 is connected to the server 20 (S50). The operation unit 50 inputs the reservation content (S52), and the communication unit 54 transmits the reservation content to the server 20. The communication unit 54 disconnects the connection with the server 20 (S54). When the sharing unit 56 does not receive the first authentication image and the reception unit 58 does not receive the first authentication information (N in S56), the process waits. When the sharing unit 56 receives the first authentication image and the reception unit 58 receives the first authentication information (Y in S56), the storage unit 60 stores the first authentication image and the first authentication information (S58). . In FIG. 6B, the display unit 62 displays the first authentication image (S70) and then displays the first authentication information (S72).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a boarding procedure by the server 20. If no reservation is made in the reservation / distribution unit 72 (N in S100), the process waits. If a reservation is made in the reservation / distribution unit 72 (Y in S100), the sharing unit 74 transmits the first authentication image to the terminal device 10, and the first transmission unit 76 transmits the first authentication information to the terminal device 10. (S102). The second transmission unit 78 transmits the second authentication image and the second authentication information to the vehicle 30.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a boarding procedure by the vehicle 30. The communication unit 36 receives the second authentication image and the second authentication information (S130). The display unit 32 displays the reservation person (S132). If it does not arrive at the boarding place (N of S134), it waits. When arriving at the boarding place (Y in S134), the display unit 32 displays the second authentication image (S136). The accepting unit 42 images the first authentication information (S138). When the first authentication information matches the second authentication information in the processing unit 44 (Y in S140), the control unit 38 unlocks (S142). If the first authentication information and the second authentication information do not match in the processing unit 44 (N in S140), the process ends.

  FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing another boarding procedure by the authentication system 100. This shows a case where the user who reserves the boarding of the vehicle is different from the user who gets on the vehicle as compared with the past. Moreover, the terminal device 10 possessed by the user who reserves boarding of a vehicle is the 1st terminal device 10a, and the terminal device 10 possessed by the user boarding a vehicle is the 2nd terminal device 10b. The first terminal apparatus 10a transmits a reservation request to the server 20 (S150). The server 20 executes the reservation (S152). The server 20 transmits the reservation completion to the first terminal device 10a (S154). The server 20 transmits the first authentication image / first authentication information to the second terminal device 10b (S156), and transmits the second authentication image / second authentication information to the vehicle 30 (S158). The vehicle 30 displays the second authentication image (S160). The second terminal device 10b displays the first authentication image (S162). By comparing the first authentication image and the second authentication image, the user specifies the vehicle 30 to be boarded. The second terminal device 10b displays the first authentication information (S164), and the first authentication information is captured by the vehicle 30 (S166). The vehicle 30 executes an authentication process (S168) and unlocks (S170).

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the first authentication image is displayed on the terminal device and the second authentication image is displayed on the vehicle, the user can get on by comparing the first authentication image and the second authentication image. The vehicle that should be identified can be easily identified. In addition, since the authentication process is performed in the vehicle by the first authentication information and the second authentication information, a user who can get on the vehicle can be easily specified. Further, since the first authentication image, the second authentication image, the first authentication information, and the second authentication information are used, registration of the user's biometric information can be made unnecessary. In addition, since the first authentication image is transmitted from the server to the terminal device, the first authentication image prepared in advance in the server can be used. Further, since the first authentication image prepared in advance in the server is used, the processing can be simplified. Further, since the vehicle already includes the imaging unit, the first authentication information can be notified to the vehicle without adding a new configuration to the vehicle.

(Example 2)
Next, Example 2 will be described. As in the first embodiment, the second embodiment relates to an authentication system for reserving a vehicle that can be automatically driven from a terminal device and authenticating the user when the user who has the terminal device gets on the vehicle. . In the first embodiment, the first authentication image is shared between the terminal device 10 and the server 20 by transmitting the first authentication image from the server 20 to the terminal device 10. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the first authentication image is shared between the terminal device 10 and the server 20 by transmitting the first authentication image from the terminal device 10 to the server 20. The vehicle 30 and the authentication system 100 according to the second embodiment are the same type as those in FIGS. Here, the difference will be mainly described.

  When the reservation / distribution unit 72 of the server 20 in FIG. 2 receives a reservation request from the terminal device 10 connected via the communication unit 70 as in the first embodiment, the reservation contents included in the reservation request The vehicle allocation suitable for the vehicle is determined.

  After the communication unit 54 transmits a reservation request, the control unit 52 of the terminal device 10 causes the display unit 62 to display a screen for receiving an input of the first authentication image. FIG. 10 shows a screen displayed on the display unit 62 of the terminal device 10. A first authentication image input area 230 is shown on the screen, and the user inputs the first authentication image into the first authentication image input area 230 while using the operation unit 50. For example, the first authentication image is written by the user. When the first authentication image is input to the first authentication image input area 230, the input button 232 is selected. Returning to FIG. When the input button 232 is selected, the control unit 52 outputs the first authentication image input to the first authentication image input area 230 to the sharing unit 56. The sharing unit 56 transmits the first authentication image to the server 20.

  The sharing unit 74 of the server 20 shares the first authentication image with the terminal device 10 by receiving the first authentication image from the terminal device 10. The sharing unit 74 outputs the first authentication image to the reservation / distribution unit 72. Since the subsequent processing is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted, but the first authentication image is not transmitted from the server 20 to the terminal device 10. Further, the second authentication image is generated in the reservation / distribution unit 72 based on the first authentication image.

  FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram illustrating a boarding procedure performed by the authentication system 100. The terminal device 10 transmits a reservation request to the server 20 (S200). The server 20 executes the reservation (S202). The terminal device 10 transmits the first authentication image to the server 20 (S204). The server 20 transmits the first authentication information to the terminal device 10 (S206), and transmits the second authentication image / second authentication information to the vehicle 30 (S208). The vehicle 30 displays the second authentication image (S210). The terminal device 10 displays the first authentication image (S212). By comparing the first authentication image and the second authentication image, the user specifies the vehicle 30 to be boarded. The terminal device 10 displays the first authentication information (S214), and the first authentication information is captured by the vehicle 30 (S216). The vehicle 30 executes an authentication process (S218) and unlocks (S220).

  According to this embodiment, since the user inputs the first authentication image to the terminal device, the user can desire the first authentication image to be used. In addition, since the first authentication image is transmitted from the terminal device to the server, the first authentication image desired by the user possessing the terminal device can be used. Further, since the first authentication image desired by the user is used, it is possible to easily identify the vehicle to be boarded.

  The outline of one embodiment of the present invention is as follows. An authentication system according to an aspect of the present invention includes a vehicle capable of reservation for boarding, a terminal device possessed by a user who should board the vehicle by reservation, and (1) sharing a first authentication image with the terminal device. And (2) transmitting the first authentication information to the terminal device, and (3) a server that transmits the second authentication image and the second authentication information to the communication unit of the vehicle. The display unit of the vehicle displays the second authentication image, and the terminal device displays the first authentication image to be compared with the second authentication image displayed on the display unit of the vehicle, and then displays the first authentication information. The vehicle is notified, and the vehicle permits boarding by reservation based on the first authentication information from the terminal device and the second authentication information received by the communication unit.

  According to this aspect, the first authentication image is displayed on the terminal device, the second authentication image is displayed on the vehicle, and the authentication process is performed using the first authentication information and the second authentication information. And a user who can get on the vehicle can be easily identified.

  The server may transmit the first authentication image to the terminal device in order to share the first authentication image with the terminal device.
