Vehicle-oriented service providing system, in-vehicle device, and command transmission method

1. A vehicle-oriented service providing system comprising:

an in-vehicle device mounted in a vehicle and configured to transmit a waiting state to a push information server and receive commands that are applied to a control device inside the vehicle;

a vehicle information server configured to transmit the commands to the in-vehicle device; and

the push information server configured to mediate the transmission of the commands from the vehicle information server to the in-vehicle device,

wherein the in-vehicle device, the vehicle information server, and the push information server are connected to a communication network,

wherein, in the commands, a security level prescribed in advance for each of the commands is set,

wherein the vehicle information server is configured to perform encryption corresponding to the security level on the commands and request the push information server for transmission of the encrypted commands,

wherein the push information server is configured to:

receive the commands from the vehicle information server,

when the waiting state of the vehicle is a push reception disable state, store the commands and wait until the vehicle is brought into a push waiting state, and

when the waiting state of the vehicle is a push reception disable state and the vehicle is not brought into the push waiting state after a predetermined time has elapsed, notify the vehicle information server of transmission failure due to overtime and discard the commands, and

when the waiting state of the vehicle is a push waiting state, transmit the commands to the vehicle, and

wherein the in-vehicle device is configured to:

wait for commands from the push information server so as to receive the encrypted commands solely from the push information server,

receive the encrypted commands from the vehicle information server by way of the push information server,

decrypt the received encrypted commands, and

solely when encryption corresponding to a security level equal to or higher than the security level set in advance in the commands is performed, execute the commands.

2. The vehicle-oriented service providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle information server is configured to generate the commands based on a predetermined condition without receiving a request from the in-vehicle device and transmit the commands to the in-vehicle device.

3. The vehicle-oriented service providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the in-vehicle device includes:

a first processor configured to perform the reception, the decryption, and the execution of the commands; and

a second processor configured to perform solely communication that is not applied to the control device inside the vehicle with the vehicle information server or another server.

4. The vehicle-oriented service providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the security level is divided into two or more levels.

5. The vehicle-oriented service providing system according to claim 1 , wherein:

the in-vehicle device is configured to transmit a request that is applied to the control device inside the vehicle to the vehicle information server; and

the vehicle information server is configured to, when the request is received from the in-vehicle device, transmit the command corresponding to the request to the in-vehicle device.

6. The vehicle-oriented service providing system according to claim 1 , further comprising a portable terminal configured to transmit a request that is applied to the control device inside the vehicle to the vehicle information server,

wherein the vehicle information server is configured to, when the request is received from the in-vehicle device, transmit the command corresponding to the request to the in-vehicle device.

7. The vehicle-oriented service providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle information server is configured to:

transmit a plurality of the commands as one transmission unit to the in-vehicle device; and

perform encryption corresponding to a security level of a command having a highest security level among the commands included in the transmission unit on the transmission unit.

8. A command transmission method that, in a vehicle-oriented service providing system including an in-vehicle device, a vehicle information server, and a push information server connected to a communication network, performs command transmission from the vehicle information server to the in-vehicle device, the command transmission method comprising:

with the in-vehicle device, transmitting a waiting state to the push information server and waiting for reception of commands that are applied to a control device inside a vehicle from the push information server;

with the vehicle information server, performing encryption corresponding to a security level prescribed in advance for each of the commands on the commands to be transmitted and requesting the push information server for transmission of the encrypted commands;

with the push information server,

receiving the waiting state from the in-vehicle device,

when the waiting state of the in-vehicle device is a push reception disable state, storing the encrypted commands, and

when the waiting state of the vehicle is a push reception disable state and the vehicle is not brought into the push waiting state after a predetermined time has elapsed, notifying the vehicle information server of transmission failure due to overtime and discarding the commands, and

when the waiting state of the vehicle is a push waiting state, transmitting the encrypted commands to the in-vehicle device; and

with the in-vehicle device, decrypting the received encrypted commands, and solely when encryption corresponding to a security level equal to or higher than the security level set in advance in the commands is performed, executing the commands.
