Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face challenges in tracking the use relation between a user and a mobile body while maintaining security, particularly in scenarios where the use is not pre-contracted or reserved, such as with owner-driven cars or other types of mobility services, leading to inconsistencies between contracted dates and actual usage.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a management server, first terminal, and second terminal that sets a correspondence relation between the user and the mobile body based on authentication results, with optional authentication depending on predetermined conditions, allowing for secure tracking and reduced operational trouble.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If authentication of both first target and second target is performed, then security is maintained, but operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic authentication where the system adaptively changes authentication requirements based on pre-stored correspondence relations. When a use relation matches stored data, authentication is simplified or omitted; when no match exists, full authentication is performed. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by making security measures flexible rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing correspondence relations between first targets and second targets before actual use relations occur. This advance preparation allows the system to quickly determine authentication requirements without complex real-time decision-making, reducing operational complexity while maintaining security through pre-established verification rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If authentication of both first target and second target is performed, then security is maintained, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By pre-storing correspondence relations and authentication criteria before use relations occur, the system eliminates the need for complex real-time authentication decisions. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces processing time during actual use while maintaining security through pre-established verification rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts authentication processing time by skipping authentication steps when correspondence relations are confirmed through pre-stored data. This dynamic approach maintains security requirements while optimizing processing speed based on the specific use case.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If authentication is omitted for one target, then operational complexity is reduced, but security may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational complexityVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by checking use relations against pre-stored correspondence data before determining whether to omit authentication. This advance check ensures that authentication is only omitted when security requirements are already satisfied by existing recorded relations, preventing security compromise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The pre-stored correspondence relation data acts as an intermediary that mediates between security requirements and authentication simplification. This intermediate layer verifies that omitting authentication for one target does not compromise security, as the decision is based on pre-validated correspondence information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A management server according to one aspect of the present disclosure accepts setting of a correspondence relation between a first target and a second target in response to a linking demand. In a case where a predetermined condition is not satisfied, the management server acquires authentication results of both the first target and the second target and sets the correspondence relation in accordance with success in authentication of both the first target and the second target in the acquired authentication results. On the other hand, in a case where the predetermined condition is satisfied, authentication of at least one target out of the first target and the second target is omitted. The management server acquires an authentication result of the other target and sets the correspondence relation in accordance with success in authentication of the other target in the acquired authentication result.
