A vehicle operation device includes memory and a processor. The processor is configured to store tokens received from a server in the memory to be used for authentication to a vehicle. When an operation of the vehicle is performed in a state in which communication with the server is possible, a token is used to conduct authentication to the vehicle. When a predetermined operation of the vehicle is performed in a state in which communication with the server is interrupted, authentication to the vehicle is conducted without using a token.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a system and method are provided for pairing a network-enabled movable barrier operator with a transmitter. The method may include receiving a pairing request, retrieving a hashed version of the transmitter fixed code, verifying access authorization, and forwarding the hashed version of the transmitter fixed code to a movable barrier operator to allow the movable barrier operator to determine whether a new transmitter is authorized to control the movable barrier operator.

A method having the steps of obtaining temporal information communicated to a first device; carrying out one or more of the following tests: a test to determine whether the first device is in a state following an initial operation, a battery replacement or other power outage, or a reset, a test to determine whether a deviation between temporal information of the clock and the communicated temporal information is less than or equal to a threshold which is specified, and a test to determine whether the communicated temporal information has the same date as the temporal information of the clock; and synchronizing the clock using the communicated temporal information if all of one or more defined conditions are satisfied, wherein one of the one or more conditions requires that at least one of the one or more tests carried out has a positive result.

A symmetric key-based generation and distribution system and method for a vehicle access authentication framework is provided, the framework comprising: a first device operated by a car owner, a second device operated by a delegated user, and a third device residing in a vehicle. The first device is configured to: request for an authentication key from the third device, the request for the authentication key comprising an ID of the first device, id.sub.O; receive an authentication key K.sub.id.sub.O from the third device; and generate a delegated authentication key K.sub.id.sub.U based on authentication key K.sub.id.sub.O and an ID of the second device in response to receiving a request for delegated authentication key from the second device, the request for delegated authentication key comprising the ID of the second device.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a system and method are provided for pairing a network-enabled movable barrier operator with a transmitter. The method may include receiving a pairing request, retrieving a hashed version of the transmitter fixed code, verifying access authorization, and forwarding the hashed version of the transmitter fixed code to a movable barrier operator to allow the movable barrier operator to determine whether a new transmitter is authorized to control the movable barrier operator.

A key information management device includes an information processing device. The information processing device is configured to deliver key information to a mobile terminal as the mobile terminal transmits a predetermined transmission signal toward a vehicle. The key information is information for unlocking the vehicle, starting the vehicle, or unlocking and starting the vehicle. The information processing device is configured to register permission for a user of the vehicle to use a predetermined service using the vehicle. The permission is permission to cause the information processing device to deliver the key information to a mobile terminal of a third party concerned with the predetermined service, other than the user of the vehicle.

A trunk-sharing system that controls an user's authority to use a predetermined area of a vehicle by issuing a predetermined authentication information to a user terminal, the trunk-sharing system including a server configured to: acquire a first information on a permission of using the predetermined area of the vehicle from a first user who owns the vehicle; provide the first information such that the first information acquired from the first user of each of a plurality of vehicles is able to be detected by a second user other than the first user; acquire a second information on a request for a use of the predetermined area which is an information from the second user who has accessed the provided first information; and issue an authentication information for locking and unlocking the predetermined area to a terminal of the second user based on the first information and the second information.

A delivery system includes: a first vehicle configured to deliver a delivery object to a predetermined delivery destination; a second vehicle configured to deliver the delivery object to the first vehicle; and an authentication information issuing device configured to perform at least one of first issuance control and second issuance control. The first issuance control is control of issuing first authentication information to a second user terminal. The first authentication information is information for locking and unlocking the predetermined area of the first vehicle. The second issuance control is control of issuing second authentication information to a first user terminal. The second authentication information is information for locking and unlocking the predetermined area of the second vehicle.

Provided is a method, performed by an access authorisation verification apparatus, involving the steps of: obtaining a piece of information from a transmission; identifying a transmission data record using the piece of information obtained from the transmission, wherein the transmission data record comprises address information associated with the transmission; determining an access control apparatus on the basis of a comparison of the address information of the transmission data record with respective address information that is associated with the access control apparatuses and stored on the access authorisation verification apparatus; allowing selection and/or confirmation of an access control apparatus for the determined access control apparatus by a user of the access authorisation verification apparatus; and communicating access authorization information to the access control apparatus in order to gain access to a room associated with the access control apparatus, so that the transmission can be placed into or removed from the room.

Systems and methods providing vehicle access using identified biometric data are provided herein. An example method includes storing a first biometric input for a user in a database; receiving a ride reservation from the user, the ride reservation having at least a pickup location; activating a biometric input device associated with a vehicle when the vehicle arrives at the pickup location to obtain a second biometric input for the user; authenticating the user by comparing the first biometric input with the second biometric input; and granting access to the vehicle when the first biometric input substantially matches the second biometric input.
