1. A wireless authentication method, comprising the steps of:
- performing a first authentication processing for a second communication device, by checking received identification information against identification information stored in an internal storage unit of a first communication device, when the first communication device judges that a transmission signal level from the second communication device is equal to or more than a predetermined value, and receives the identification information identifying the second communication device from the second communication device, by the first communication device;
reporting to a remote authentication station an authentication result including the identification information, when the first communication device succeeds the authentication of the second communication device by performing the first authentication processing, by the first communication device;
performing a second authentication processing for the second communication device, by checking the identification information including the authentication result against identification information stored in an internal storage unit of the authentication station, by the authentication station;
transmitting to the first communication device a cancellation permission signal to cancel the usage restrictions of a controlled device whose usage is restricted by the first communication device, when the authentication of the second communication device by the second authentication processing is successful, by the authentication station;
requesting personal specification information on the user to the second communication device, by the first communication device;
sending fingerprint information sent by the second communication device to the authentication station, by the first communication device;
performing a third authentication processing for the second communication device, by checking a correspondence relationship between the personal specification information and the identification information stored in the internal storage unit of the authentication station, by the authentication station; and
sending to the first communication device confirmation signal indicating that a person'"'"'s identity is confirmed, when the authentication station succeeds the authentication of the second communication device, by the authentication station, so that the authentication station validates the cancellation of the usage restrictions of the controlled device imposed by the first communication device based on the cancellation permission signal.

Abstract
A first communication device performs a first, a second, and a third authentication processing for a second communication device, a authentication station sends to the first communication device a confirmation signal indicating that a person'"'"'s identity is confirmed, when the authentication station succeeds the authentication of the second communication device, so that the authentication station validates the cancellation of a usage restrictions of the controlled device imposed by the first communication device based on the cancellation permission signal.

7. A wireless authentication system, comprising:
-
a first communication device and second communication device which communicate interactively with one another by a wireless line;
a controlled device for which the cancellation of usage restrictions is controlled by the first communication device; and
an authentication station which communicates interactively between the first communication device and the controlled device;
wherein the authentication station stores respective distinctive IDs of the first communication device, the second communication device, and the controlled device, and personal specification information of a user using by the first communication device corresponding to the distinctive ID;
the first communication device performs a first authentication processing for the second communication device, by checking received identification information against identification information stored in an internal storage unit of the first communication device, when the first communication device judges that a transmission signal level from the second communication device is equal to or more than a predetermined value, and receives identification information identifying the second communication device from the second communication device;
the first communication device reports the authentication result including the identification information to the remote authentication station, when the first communication device succeeds the authentication of the second communication device by performing the first authentication processing;
the authentication station performs a second authentication processing for the second communication device, by checking the identification information included in the authentication result against identification information stored in an internal storage unit of the authentication station;
the authentication station transmits to the first communication device a cancellation permission signal to cancel the usage restrictions of the controlled device whose usage is restricted by the first communication device, when the authentication station succeeds the authentication of the second communication device by performing the second authentication processing;
the first communication device requests personal specification information of the user to the second communication device, and sends fingerprint information sent by the second communication device to the authentication station;
the authentication station performs a third authentication processing for the second communication device, by checking a correspondence relationship between the personal specification information and identification information stored in an internal storage unit of the authentication station; and
the authentication station sends to the first communication device a confirmation signal indicating that a person'"'"'s identity is confirmed, when the authentication station succeeds the authentication of the second communication device by performing the third authentication processing, so that the authentication station validates the cancellation of the usage restrictions of the controlled device imposed by the first communication device based on the cancellation permission signal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15)
