Vehicle, authentication system, non-transitory computer readable medium, and authentication method

1. A vehicle comprising:

a communication interface;

a sensor configured to detect biological information for a user of the vehicle; and

a controller configured to:

receive authentication information from a first terminal apparatus by short-range wireless communication using the communication interface;

perform a first authentication of a first user based on the authentication information;

determine whether the first authentication succeeds; and

upon determination that the first authentication succeeds:

unlock a door of the vehicle;

acquire first biological information associated with the first user from the sensor;

acquire second biological information associated with the authentication information used in the first authentication from a memory;

perform a second authentication of the first user by comparing the first biological information and the second biological information;

determine whether the second authentication succeeds; and

upon determination that the second authentication succeeds, receive authorization information associated with the first user and authorize an electronic payment to be made by the first user based on the authorization information.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to use first account information set in advance or second account information different from the first account information in performing the electronic payment.

3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to use the first account information when it is judged that the user is authorized by the authorization information to use the electronic payment for a transaction target to be traded by the electronic payment.

4. The vehicle of claim 3 , wherein

when it is judged that the user is not authorized by the authorization information to use the electronic payment for the transaction target to be traded by the electronic payment, and it is judged that the transaction target satisfies a setting condition set in advance, the controller is configured to use the communication interface to transmit a notification to confirm whether to permit purchase of the transaction target to a second terminal apparatus set in advance, and

the controller is configured to use the first account information when a notification permitting the purchase of the transaction target is received by the communication interface from the second terminal apparatus.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the authorization information includes information on a transaction target for which the user is granted permission to use the electronic payment.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the authorization information includes information on an upper limit of a payment amount by the electronic payment.

7. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to use the second account information in performing the electronic payment when the second account information is received by the communication interface.

8. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the authorization information further includes information indicating whether to permit the user to operate the vehicle, information on a time slot in which the user is permitted to operate the vehicle, information on a range over which the user is allowed to move the vehicle, and/or information indicating whether to permit the user to open and close a hood of the vehicle.

9. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein

the biological information includes data of a facial image of the user, and

when the second authentication fails, the controller is configured to use the communication interface to transmit the data of the facial image of the user, together with a notification to confirm authorization granted to the user, to a second terminal apparatus set in advance.

10. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein

when a notification requesting permission for a specific action not permitted by the authorization information is received from the first terminal apparatus by the communication interface, the controller is configured to transmit a notification to confirm whether to permit the specific action to a second terminal apparatus set in advance, and

when a notification permitting the specific action is received from the second terminal apparatus by the communication interface, the controller is configured to enable performance of the specific action.

11. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein when a request to permit the user to perform a specific action is received by the communication interface from a server set in advance, the controller is configured to permit the user to perform the specific action even when the specific action is not permitted by the authorization information.

12. The vehicle of claim 11 , wherein when the specific action is not permitted by the authorization information, but the user is permitted to perform the specific action, the controller is configured to use the communication interface to transmit a notification indicating that the user is permitted to perform the specific action to a second terminal apparatus set in advance.

13. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein an expiration date is set in advance in the authentication information.

14. The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the controller is configured to use the communication interface, before the expiration date is reached, to transmit a preliminary notification indicating automatic updating of the authentication information to a second terminal apparatus set in advance.

15. The vehicle of claim 14 , wherein when a notification instructing to change a content of the authorization information is received from the second terminal apparatus, the controller is configured to change the authorization information based on the notification instructing to change the content of the authorization information.

16. The vehicle of claim 14 , wherein when a notification instructing to change the expiration date is received by the communication interface from the second terminal apparatus, the controller is configured to change the expiration date based on the notification instructing to change the expiration date.

17. An authentication system comprising:

the vehicle of claim 1 ; and

the first terminal apparatus.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program executable by a computer to cause the computer to execute operations comprising:

receiving authentication information from a first terminal apparatus by short-range wireless communication;

performing a first authentication of a first user based on the authentication information;

determining whether the first authentication succeeds; and

upon determination that the first authentication succeeds:

unlocking a door of a vehicle;

acquiring first biological information associated with the first user from a sensor;

acquiring second biological information associated with the authentication information used in the first authentication from a memory;

performing a second authentication of the first user by comparing the first biological information and the second biological information;

determining whether the second authentication succeeds; and

upon determination that the second authentication succeeds, receiving authorization information associated with the first user and authorize an electronic payment to be made by the first user based on the authorization information.

19. An authentication method comprising:

receiving, by a vehicle, authentication information from a first terminal apparatus by short-range wireless communication;

performing a first authentication of a first user based on the authentication information;

determining whether the first authentication succeeds; and

upon determination that the first authentication succeeds:

unlocking a door of a vehicle;

acquiring first biological information associated with the first user from a sensor;

acquiring second biological information associated with the authentication information used in the first authentication from a memory;

performing a second authentication of the first user by comparing the first biological information and the second biological information;

determining whether the second authentication succeeds; and

upon determination that the second authentication succeeds, receiving authorization information associated with the first user and authorize an electronic payment to be made by the first user based on the authorization information.
