IN-VEHICLE DEVICE, VEHICLE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND DATA COMMUNICATION METHOD
First Claim
1. An in-vehicle device that relays wireless data communication between an in-vehicle electronic device and a mobile terminal, comprising:
- a storage unit that stores a PIN code and an in-vehicle device ID that is kept confidential for a user and that is registered one for each vehicle;
a first authentication unit that determines whether the in-vehicle device is allowed to be connected to the mobile terminal on the basis of a comparison of the PIN code;
a second authentication unit that requests an in-vehicle device ID from the mobile terminal that has been connected through authentication performed by the first authentication unit and that authenticates the mobile terminal by comparing the in-vehicle device ID transmitted from the mobile terminal in response to the request with the in-vehicle device ID registered in the in-vehicle device; and
a data transmission unit that transmits predetermined vehicle data, which is obtained from the in-vehicle electronic device and which indicates a vehicle state, to the mobile terminal that has been authenticated by the second authentication unit.

11. A data communication method between an in-vehicle device and a mobile terminal, wherein the in-vehicle device stores a PIN code and an in-vehicle device ID that is kept confidential for a user and that is registered one for each vehicle, the method comprising:
-
in the in-vehicle device, determining whether the in-vehicle device is allowed to be connected to the mobile terminal on the basis of a comparison of the PIN code; in the in-vehicle device, requesting an in-vehicle device ID from the mobile terminal that has been connected through authentication based on the comparison of the PIN code; in the in-vehicle device, authenticating the mobile terminal by comparing the in-vehicle device ID transmitted from the mobile terminal in response to the request for the in-vehicle device ID with the in-vehicle device ID registered in the in-vehicle device; and in the in-vehicle device, transmitting predetermined vehicle data, which is obtained from the vehicle equipped with the in-vehicle device and which indicates a vehicle state, to the mobile terminal that has been authenticated by a comparison of the in-vehicle device ID.
