Embodiment 1

[0031] figure 1 It is a functional structure diagram of the terminal and user authentication system of this embodiment. Such as figure 1 As shown, in the terminal and user authentication system of this embodiment, n (n is an integer greater than 1) terminal device 30n and the center device 50 are connected to each other via one or more networks 40 such as the Internet or a mobile phone network. Furthermore, in one terminal device 30n, m (m is an integer greater than or equal to 1) user equipment devices 20m are connected to each other through one or more networks 60 such as non-contact wireless communication or in-vehicle wired network.

[0032] The center device 50 authenticates the terminal device 30n via the network 40, determines a user authentication method based on the authentication result, and notifies the terminal device 30n of the determined user authentication method.

[0033] The terminal device 30n executes user authentication processing in accordance with the notifi...

Abstract

The invention provides a center apparatus, terminal apparatus, and authentication system. In authenticating an individual, in the case of a private vehicle, personal information can be registered in a car navigation terminal so as to be used in the authentication, however, in the case of a rental car or car sharing, personal information cannot be registered in a car navigation terminal of a vehicle to share and thus an alternative method needs to be used. Base on the use mode of the vehicle, the user authentication methods in need to be switched at the center side are important and the authentication is safely performed without reducing user convenience. The present invention provides a system and a method, in which after authenticating a device, the user authentication methods are switched and used. Specifically, in performing user authentication via a terminal apparatus, the terminal apparatus is authenticated first and then based on this authentication result, a practical use of the terminal apparatus is determined, and the user authentication methods are switched so as to suit this practical use and the resultant method is implemented.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for performing user authentication and providing services to legitimate users. Background technique [0002] Known authentication methods based on the three models of users, personal terminals, and servers (for example, JP 2003-44436 ( Image 6 , Paragraphs 0057~0068), referred to as document 1). In addition, there is known a method of performing authentication stepwise or by combining multiple authentication means (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-269043 (FIG. 8, paragraphs 0071 to 0077), referred to as Document 2). Furthermore, a method of switching terminal authentication according to the performance of the terminal is known (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-305140 (FIG. 20, paragraphs 0073 to 0077), referred to as Document 3). [0003] As a form of utilization of cars in recent years, leased use based on lease or rental, or shared use based on car-sharing, etc. are increasing. In the...
