Vehicle Entry Control for Unregistered User Access

The patent segments the entry-enabled states into two distinct modes: a first entry-enabled state for unregistered users (passengers) that permits door unlocking but disables vehicle running, and a second entry-enabled state for registered users that permits both door unlocking and vehicle running. This segmentation allows differential access control based on user registration status, resolving the contradiction between accessibility and security.

The patent applies local quality by granting different levels of access rights to different user groups. Unregistered users receive limited access (door unlock only) while registered users receive full access (door unlock + vehicle operation). This localized differentiation of access quality enables passengers to enter for belongings retrieval while maintaining overall vehicle security through restricted operational capabilities.

The patent implements universality by making the face recognition system serve multiple functions: it authenticates both registered users (for full access) and unregistered users (for limited access). The same image acquiring unit and face recognition unit handle both user types, eliminating the need for separate authentication systems and reducing overall device complexity while maintaining authentication flexibility.

The patent uses face recognition as an intermediary mechanism that bridges the gap between registered and unregistered user authentication. Instead of creating separate complex systems for each user type, the face recognition intermediary provides a unified approach that can identify and differentiate user categories, enabling versatile access control without proportionally increasing system complexity.

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by preemptively disabling the vehicle running function when an unregistered user gains entry. The system anticipates the potential harm of unauthorized operation and prevents it in advance by controlling the running operation unit to prohibit vehicle operation during the first entry-enabled state, while still allowing door access for legitimate purposes like retrieving belongings.

The patent changes the operational parameters of the vehicle based on user authentication status. When an unregistered user enters, the system modifies key parameters: door lock status changes to unlocked, but vehicle running capability is set to disabled. This parameter differentiation allows convenient passenger access while maintaining safety by altering the vehicle's operational state according to the authenticated user's authorization level.
