Authentication system, mobile device, processing device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium
View Patent ↗A mobile device is carried by a person to be authenticated. An acceleration sensor is installed in the mobile device and configured to output an acceleration signal corresponding to acceleration applied to the mobile device. A processing device is configured to execute determination processing for determining whether the person is walking based on the acceleration signal. A control device is configured to control operation of a controlled device based on a result of the determination processing and a result of processing for authenticating, by way of the mobile device, the person as a user of the controlled device. The control of the controlled device based on the authentication processing is disabled from time when the determination processing is initiated by the processing device until when a determination as to whether the person is walking is initially made.
1. An authentication system, comprising:
a mobile device adapted to be carried by a person to be authenticated;
an acceleration sensor installed in the mobile device and configured to output an acceleration signal corresponding to an acceleration applied to the mobile device;
a processing device configured to execute determination processing for determining whether the person is walking based on the acceleration signal; and
a control device configured to control an operation of a controlled device based on a result of the determination processing and a result of authentication processing for authenticating, by way of the mobile device, the person as a user of the controlled device,
wherein the control of the controlled device based on the authentication processing is forcibly disabled until an initial determination as to whether the person is walking or not is completed.
2. The authentication system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processing device is installed in the mobile device.
3. A mobile device adapted to be carried by a person to be authenticated, comprising:
an acceleration sensor configured to output an acceleration signal corresponding to an acceleration applied to the mobile device; and
a processor configured to forcibly disable a control device that controls and operation of a controlled device based on authentication processing for authenticating the person as a user of the controlled device until determination processing for determining whether the person is walking based on the acceleration signal is initially completed.
4. The mobile device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the processor is configured to execute the determination processing based on the acceleration signal.
5. A processing device, comprising:
a reception interfaced configured to accept an acceleration signal corresponding to an acceleration applied to a mobile device adapted to be carried by a person to be authenticated from an acceleration sensor installed in the mobile device; and
a processor configured to forcibly disable a control device that controls an operation of a controlled device based on authentication processing for authenticating, by way of the mobile device, the person as a user of the controlled device until determination processing for determining whether the person is walking based on the acceleration signal is initially completed.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored a computer program adapted to be executed by a processor of a processing device and configured to, when executed, cause the processing device to:
accept an acceleration signal corresponding to an acceleration applied to a mobile device adapted to be carried by a person to be authenticated from an acceleration sensor installed in the mobile device;
execute determination processing for determining whether the person is walking based on the acceleration signal; and
disable forcibly a control device that controls an operation of a controlled device based on authentication processing for authenticating, by way of the mobile device, the person as a user of the controlled device until the determination processing is initially completed.
