INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18225261 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing device that uses visible light communication to transmit identification information and digital keys between a terminal and a vehicle.
- The control unit of the device sends a command to the vehicle to transmit its identification information using visible light communication when a user start request is received.
- Once the terminal sends a signal containing the user's identification information and the vehicle's identification information, the control unit verifies the information and sends the digital key to the terminal if they match.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for secure and convenient vehicle access and authorization systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of unauthorized access to vehicles and provides a seamless and secure way for users to access their vehicles.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, ease of use for vehicle owners, and the potential for integration with other smart technologies.
Potential Commercial Applications
Commercial applications of this technology could include vehicle rental services, car sharing platforms, and fleet management companies.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be keyless entry systems for vehicles that use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the device handle situations where the user's identification information does not match the vehicle's identification information? 2. What are the potential limitations or vulnerabilities of using visible light communication for transmitting sensitive information between the terminal and the vehicle?
Original Abstract Submitted
In the information processing device according to the present disclosure, when the use start request of the first vehicle is received from the first terminal, the control unit transmits, to the first vehicle, a first command for transmitting the first identification information of the first vehicle by visible light communication. Thereafter, when the first signal including the second identification information and the first identification information, which are the identification information of the first user, is received from the first terminal, the control unit transmits the digital key of the first vehicle to the first terminal on condition that the second identification information included in the first signal matches the third identification information associated with the first identification information in advance.
