Vehicle, judging method, and non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium on which computer program is recorded
A vehicle includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to determine whether or not a communication interface is malfunctioning, the communication interface being configured to perform communication for confirming that a device, which holds a digital key for activation, is inside a vehicle cabin, and in a case in which it is determined that the communication interface is malfunctioning, perform processing that enables activation based on a result of authentication of the device.
1. An apparatus in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to:
determine whether or not a communication interface is malfunctioning, the communication interface being configured to perform communication for confirming that a cellular phone, having digital key information that is authenticated by the vehicle, is inside a vehicle cabin, and
in a case in which it is determined that the communication interface is malfunctioning, perform processing that enables operation of the vehicle based on a result of user authentication of the cellular phone.
2. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, in a case in which it is determined that the communication interface is malfunctioning, perform processing that enables activation only during a predetermined time based on the result of the authentication of the device.
3. The vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to change the predetermined time in accordance with an authentication method used in the authentication of the device.
4. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication of the device comprises biometric authentication.
5. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, in a case in which it is determined that the communication interface is not malfunctioning, perform processing that enables activation without using a result of authentication of the device.
6. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine that the communication interface is malfunctioning in a case in which periodic communication with the communication interface is interrupted.
7. A determination method, comprising:
determining, by a processor, whether or not a communication interface is malfunctioning, the communication interface being configured to perform communication for confirming that a cellular phone, having digital key information that is authenticated by the vehicle, is inside a vehicle cabin; and
in a case in which it is determined that the communication interface is malfunctioning, enabling, by the processor, operation of the vehicle based on a result of user authentication of the cellular phone.
8. A non-transitory recording medium storing a program that is executable by a computer to perform processing, the processing comprising:
determining whether or not a communication interface is malfunctioning, the communication interface being configured to perform communication for confirming that a cellular phone, having digital key information that is authenticated by the vehicle, is inside a vehicle cabin; and
in a case in which it is determined that the communication interface is malfunctioning, enabling operation of the vehicle based on a result of user authentication of the cellular phone.
