Abstract

A vehicle is provided with an identification information memory in which identification information of the vehicle is memorized, and a transmitter for transmitting the identification information. A portable terminal is provided with a receiver for receiving the identification information transmitted from the transmitter, a registration information memory in which identification information of a ridable vehicle is memorized as registration information in advance, and a controller for executing authentication between the identification information and the registration information and executing a warning processing when a result of authentication shows inconsistency.

Claims (47)

1. A crime prevention system for authenticating a vehicle passenger via a portable terminal carried by the vehicle passenger when the vehicle is used, wherein:

the vehicle is provided with:

an identification information memory in which identification information of the vehicle is memorized; and

a transmitter for transmitting the identification information, and the portable terminal is provided with:

a receiver for receiving the identification information transmitted from the transmitter;

a registration information memory in which identification information of a ridable vehicle is memorized as registration information in advance; and

a controller for executing authentication between the identification information and the registration information when the vehicle passenger is within the vehicle, and executing a warning processing when a result of authentication shows inconsistency.

2. The crime prevention system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

contact address for the authentication result is registered in advance in the registration information memory, and

the controller transmits a warning to the contact address registered in the registration information memory when the authentication result shows the inconsistency.

3. The crime prevention system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the portable terminal is provided with a sound emitter, and

the controller makes the sound emitter emit a warning sound when the authentication result shows the inconsistency.

4. The crime prevention system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the identification information is a production number or a license number of the vehicle.

5. The crime prevention system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter transmits the identification information upon detecting that a door of the vehicle is opened or closed.

6. The crime prevention system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter transmits the identification information upon detecting that a door key of the vehicle is locked or released.

7. The crime prevention system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter transmits the identification information upon detecting that a window of the vehicle is opened or closed.

8. The crime prevention system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter transmits the identification information upon detecting that the vehicle started or stopped.

9. A vehicle for authenticating a vehicle passenger via a portable terminal carried by the vehicle passenger when the vehicle passenger is in the vehicle, the vehicle including:

an identification information memory in which identification information of the vehicle is memorized; and

a transmitter for transmitting the identification information to the portable terminal for authenticating that the vehicle passenger carrying the portable terminal who is in the vehicle is allowed to ride the vehicle as a passenger by using the identification information.

10. A portable terminal for authenticating a vehicle passenger via the portable terminal carried by the vehicle passenger when the vehicle passenger is in the vehicle, the portable terminal including:

a receiver for receiving the identification information transmitted from a transmitter disposed in the vehicle;

a registration information memory in which identification information of a ridable vehicle is memorized as registration information in advance; and

a controller for executing authentication between the identification information and the registration information when the vehicle passenger is within the vehicle, and executing a warning processing when a result of authentication shows inconsistency.

11. The crime prevention system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle passenger is a passenger and not a driver.

12. The vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the vehicle passenger is a passenger and not a driver.

13. The portable terminal as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the vehicle passenger is a passenger and not a driver.

14. The vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein

the transmitter transmits the identification information upon detecting that a door of the vehicle is opened or closed.

15. The vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein

the transmitter transmits the identification information upon detecting that a door key of the vehicle is locked or released.

16. The vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein

the transmitter transmits the identification information upon detecting that a window of the vehicle is opened or closed.

17. The vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein

the transmitter transmits the identification information upon detecting that the vehicle started or stopped.

18. The portable terminal as claimed in claim 10 , wherein:

contact address for the authentication result is registered in advance in the registration information memory, and

the controller transmits a warning to the contact address registered in the registration information memory when the authentication result shows the inconsistency.

19. The portable terminal as claimed in claim 10 , wherein:

the portable terminal is provided with a sound emitter, and

the controller makes the sound emitter emit a warning sound when the authentication result shows the inconsistency.
