When the return button 81 is pressed, the detailed setting screen 50 or the registration status confirmation screen 60 is displayed. When the registration button is pressed, the data input to the setting change screen 80 is transmitted from the user mobile phone 3 to the in-vehicle unit 10, and the mail address data and the unlocking restriction condition data temporarily registered in the database 10e are set in those data. The changed and changed data is temporarily registered in the database 10e.

  As described above, the user inputs the mail address data of the service person mobile phone 4 and the data to be stored as the unlocking restriction condition data to the respective screens 40, 50, and 80 shown in FIGS. To do.

  Further, the user uses a camera of the user mobile phone 3 to copy any one of a part of the vehicle 9 (for example, a license plate), a part of the human body (for example, part of the user's body), a landscape, and the like. , Make image data. The created image data constitutes a part of temporary use registration data.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in step S5, the user sends the user ID, the data to be stored as the unlocking restriction condition data, the image data and the mail address data to be stored as the temporary use registration data from the user mobile phone 3 to the in-vehicle unit. 10 (see (3) and (4) in FIG. 6). At this time, the user also remotely transmits the mail address data of the mobile phone of the service person B from the user mobile phone 3 to the in-vehicle unit 10.

  Next, the in-vehicle unit 10 collates the user ID transmitted from the user mobile phone 3 with the user ID registered in the database 10e (step S6), and determines whether they match (step S6). S7, see FIG. 6 (2))). When the determination result of step S7 is YES, the process proceeds to step S8, while when the determination result of step S7 is NO, the process returns to the start. Note that “when a predetermined condition set in advance” according to the present invention is satisfied corresponds to “when the determination result in step S7 is YES”.

  In step S8, the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the data transmitted from the user mobile phone 3, and temporarily registers the received data in the database 10e as unlocking regulation condition data and temporary use registration data. Next, in step S9, the in-vehicle unit 10 transmits the image data included in the temporary use registration data and the mail address data of the vehicle 9 to the service person mobile phone 4 (see (5) in FIG. 6). . Next, in step S10, the service person mobile phone 4 receives and temporarily registers the image data transmitted from the in-vehicle unit 10 and the mail address data of the vehicle 9. So far, the operation of the keyless entry system 1 when the user sets temporary use registration data and the like has been described.

(Verification process)
Hereinafter, the operation of the keyless entry system 1 when the door is unlocked by the service person A will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 5, in step S <b> 11, the service person A performs predetermined operations on the service person mobile phone 4, so that the image data temporarily registered in the service person mobile phone 4 and the mail of the service person mobile phone 4. Second identification data composed of address data is transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4 to the in-vehicle unit 10 (see (6) in FIG. 6). The mail address data of the service person mobile phone 4 is automatically and simultaneously transmitted together with the image data from the service person mobile phone 4 when the image data is sent from the service person mobile phone 4. Next, in step S <b> 12, the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4. Next, in step S13, the in-vehicle unit 10 performs a verification process.

  Hereinafter, the verification processing of the in-vehicle unit 10 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the mail address data included in the temporary use registration data and the mail address data included in the second identification data transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4 are collated (step 13a), and they match. It is determined whether or not (step 13b). If the decision result in the step S13b is YES, the process advances to a step S13c to collate the image data included in the temporary use registration data with the image data included in the second identification data transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4. Then, it is determined whether or not they match (step S13d). If the decision result in the step 13d is YES, the process advances to a step 13e, and it is determined that the temporary use registration data and the second identification data transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4 are coincident. Thereafter, the process returns to step S13 in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S13b or step S13d is NO, the process proceeds to step S13f, and notification data regarding the reason for the mismatch is notified (reported) to the user and the service person mobile phone 3 or 4, respectively. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S13g, and it is determined that the temporary use registration data and the second identification data transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4 are inconsistent. At this time, the service person A cannot unlock the door. That is, the service person A cannot temporarily use the vehicle 9. Thereafter, the process returns to step S13 in FIG. So far, the verification process of the in-vehicle unit 10 has been described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in step S <b> 14, the in-vehicle unit 10 compares the temporarily registered temporary use registration data with the second identification data transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4, and whether they match. Determine whether or not. When the determination result of step S14 is YES, the process proceeds to step S15, and when the determination result of step S14 is NO, the process proceeds to step S18.

(Unlocking regulation condition discrimination process)
In step S15, the in-vehicle unit 10 performs an unlocking restriction condition determination process.

  Hereinafter, the unlocking restriction condition determination process of the in-vehicle unit 10 will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 15 and 16. First, in step S15a, each unlocking restriction condition data (specifically, “use permission period” data, “use permission range” data, unlockable number of times data, unlockable distance data, Read unlocking permission time zone data, etc.). Next, in step S15b, current vehicle state data (specifically, position data of the vehicle 9 and the number of times the serviceman A has unlocked the door using the serviceman mobile phone 4 so far). Data, etc.), position data of the service person A, and input time data are read. The input time is the time when the service person A transmits the second identification data from the service person mobile phone 4, in other words, the time when the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data.

  Next, in step S15c, it is determined whether an emergency invalidation request signal is received from the user mobile phone 3. If the decision result in the step S15c is NO, the process advances to a step S15d to decide whether or not the temporary use registration data and the second identification data transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4 are continuously inconsistent for a predetermined number of times. . When the determination result in step S15d is NO, the process proceeds to step S15e, and the number of times the service person A has received the second identification data transmitted from the service person mobile phone 4 so far, or the service person A has It is determined whether or not the number of times of unlocking the door using the mobile phone 4 is greater than the number of unlockable times (in this embodiment, 30 times). When the determination result of step S15e is NO, the process proceeds to step S15f, and it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the temporary use registration data is temporarily registered in the database 10e.

  When the determination result of step S15f is NO, the process proceeds to step S15g, and it is determined whether or not the distance between the user (in other words, the user mobile phone 3) and the vehicle 9 is a predetermined value or more. When the determination result of step S15g is NO, the process proceeds to step S15h, and it is determined whether or not the current position of the vehicle 9 is outside the “use permission range” (that is, outside the effective range). When the determination result in step S15h is NO, the process proceeds to step S15i, and it is determined whether or not the distance between the user and the service person A (in other words, the service person mobile phone 4) is a predetermined value or more. When the determination result of step S15i is NO, the process proceeds to step S15j, and the distance between the vehicle 9 and the serviceman A is calculated based on the position data of the vehicle 9 and the position data of the serviceman A. Next, in step S15k, it is determined whether or not the calculated distance between the vehicle 9 and the serviceman A is greater than the unlockable distance (5 m in this embodiment).

  When the determination result of step S15k is NO, the process proceeds to step S151, and whether or not the input time (that is, the current time) is outside the unlocking permission time zone (from 4:00 to 24:00 in the present embodiment). Determine whether. If the decision result in the step 15l is NO, the process advances to a step S15m to check whether or not the elapsed time since the serviceman A first unlocked the door using the serviceman mobile phone 4 is a predetermined time or more. Determine. When the determination result in step 15m is NO, the process proceeds to step S15n, and the input time is outside the “use permission period” (outside the valid period. In this embodiment, outside the period from October 9 to October 10). It is determined whether or not. When the determination result in step S15n is NO, the process proceeds to step S15o, and it is determined that the unlocking restriction condition is not satisfied (that is, the unlocking restriction condition is not satisfied). Next, in step S15p, it is determined whether or not the engine start prohibition check box 51d is checked, that is, whether or not an engine start restriction condition for restricting engine start is satisfied. If the decision result in the step S15p is YES, the process proceeds to a step S15q to restrict (inhibit) the engine start. Thereafter, the process returns to step S15 in FIG. On the other hand, when the determination result of step 15p is NO, the process returns to step S15.

  Further, when the determination results from step S15c to step S15i and from step S15l to step 15n are YES, the process proceeds to step S15r, and notification data regarding the reason for satisfying the unlocking restriction condition (that is, the reason why the unlocking restriction condition is satisfied). Is notified (reported) to the user and the serviceman mobile phones 3 and 4 respectively. When the determination result in step 15k is YES, that is, when the distance between the vehicle 9 and the service person A is greater than 5 m, only the service person mobile phone 4 is notified to that effect. Then, the process proceeds to step S15s, and it is determined that the unlocking restriction condition is satisfied (that is, the unlocking restriction condition is satisfied). At this time, the service person A cannot unlock the door. That is, the service person A cannot temporarily use the vehicle 9. Thereafter, the process returns to step S15 in FIG. Up to this point, the unlocking regulation condition determination process of the in-vehicle unit 10 has been described in detail. Note that the unlocking restriction conditions according to the present invention correspond to the conditions from step S15c to step S15i and from step S15k to step S15n.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in step S <b> 16, the in-vehicle unit 10 determines whether or not the unlocking regulation condition is satisfied. When the determination result of step S16 is NO, the process proceeds to step S17, and the controller 10g transmits a door unlocking signal to the door unlocking actuator 10f. Thereby, the door is unlocked. At this time, when the determination result of step S15p in FIG. 16 is NO, the controller 10g performs both unlocking the door and starting the engine, while when the determination result of step S15p is YES, the controller 10g Only unlock the door. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the determination result of step S16 is YES, the process proceeds to step S18.

(Report processing)
In step S18, the in-vehicle unit 10 includes data indicating whether the door is locked or unlocked (that is, data indicating whether unlocking of the door is restricted or performed). Data is transmitted to the user mobile phone 3. In step S <b> 19, the user mobile phone 3 receives use state data of the vehicle 9. Thereby, the user can know the use state of the vehicle 9 such as whether the door is locked or unlocked. Then return to the start. So far, the operation of the keyless entry system 1 when the service person A uses the service person mobile phone 4 to unlock the door has been described.

-Effect-
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data transmitted from the serviceman mobile phone 4 and configured by the image data and the mail address data of the serviceman mobile phone 4, The collation of the image data and the image data included in the temporary use registration data and the collation of the mail address data of the service person mobile phone 4 and the determination as to whether or not the unlocking regulation condition is satisfied are performed. The doors are unlocked only when they are coincident and the determination result is unsatisfactory. That is, a person other than the user, for example, the service person A can use the mobile phone 4 to unlock the door. Therefore, the user does not need to lend the keyless transmitter 2 or teach the keyless registration data when a person other than the user unlocks the door. Therefore, convenience when a person other than the user unlocks the door can be improved. The in-vehicle unit 10 unlocks the door only when each verification result is identical and the determination result is not satisfactory, and when the determination result is satisfactory, the door is unlocked regardless of the verification result. To regulate. In this way, the doors are unlocked only when the matching results are the same and the determination result is unsatisfactory. Otherwise, the door unlocking is restricted. Security can be maintained when unlocking. Further, the in-vehicle unit 10 compares the user ID transmitted from the user mobile phone 3 with the user ID registered in the database 10e, and restricts the unlocking of the door when they match. Since the conditions are accepted and the unlocking restriction condition stored in the database 10e is changed to the accepted condition, the unlocking restriction condition is determined by the person other than the owner of the dedicated portable communication device and unlocking the door. The setting can be changed arbitrarily according to the person who performs the operation. Therefore, convenience when a person other than the user unlocks the door can be improved. From the above, it is possible to maintain security when a person other than the user unlocks the door and improve convenience.

  The unlocking regulation condition is that when the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data, it is outside the “use permission period”, that is, outside the predetermined period. When the identification data is received outside the predetermined period, unlocking of the door is restricted.

  Further, the unlocking regulation condition is that the elapsed time since the temporary use registration data composed of the image data and the mail address data of the service person mobile phone 4 is stored in the database 10e is equal to or longer than a predetermined time. Therefore, when the elapsed time from when the temporary use registration data is stored in the database 10e is longer than a predetermined time, the unlocking of the door is restricted.

  The unlocking regulation condition is that when the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data, it is outside the unlocking permitted time zone, that is, outside the predetermined time zone. When the time when the identification data is received is outside the predetermined time zone, the unlocking of the door is restricted.

  The unlocking regulation condition is that the distance between the vehicle 9 and the service person A (that is, the service person mobile phone 4) when the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data is larger than the unlockable distance. That is, when the distance between the vehicle 9 and the service person A when the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance, the door is unlocked. Is regulated.

  Further, since the unlocking regulation condition is that the position of the vehicle 9 is out of the use permission range, that is, outside the predetermined area, the unlocking of the door is performed when the position of the vehicle 9 is outside the predetermined area. Be regulated.

  In addition, the unlocking regulation condition is that the number of times that the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data and unlocks the door is larger than the number of unlockable times, that is, a predetermined number or more. Therefore, when the number of times that the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data and unlocks the door is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, the unlocking of the door is restricted.

  Further, since the unlocking regulation condition is that the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the emergency invalidation request signal from the user mobile phone 3, the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the emergency invalidation request signal from the user mobile phone 3. When unlocked, door unlocking is restricted.

  Further, the in-vehicle unit 10 accepts an arbitrary condition for remotely controlling the unlocking of the door and changes the setting to the accepted condition for the unlocking restriction condition stored in the database 10e. Regulating conditions can be set and changed arbitrarily from remote.

  On the other hand, when the in-vehicle unit 10 determines that the collation results are the same, the determination result is not satisfactory, and the engine start prohibition check box 51d is not checked, both the door unlocking and the engine starting are performed. Therefore, the convenience when a person other than the user unlocks the door can be improved. Furthermore, the in-vehicle unit 10 only unlocks the door when it is determined that the verification results are identical and the determination result is unsatisfactory and the engine start prohibition check box 51d is checked. It is possible to reduce the risk when a person other than the person unlocks the door and does not need to start the engine.

  In addition, when the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data and unlocks the door, the in-vehicle unit 10 notifies the user mobile phone 3 to that effect (see step S18 in FIG. 5), so that the user Can know that a person other than the user has unlocked the door. Further, when the in-vehicle unit 10 receives the second identification data and restricts the unlocking of the door, the in-vehicle unit 10 notifies the user mobile phone 3 to that effect (see step S18 in FIG. 5). Can know that someone other than the user has illegally unlocked the door.
