  • Publication number: 20160225207
    Abstract: An electronic key registration system includes an electronic key and a communication master. The electronic key transmits a registration code. The communication master receives the registration code from the electronic key, code, obtains key information using the registration code, and registers the key information. The registration code is set in accordance with the communication master to which the electronic key is registered. The communication master includes a level determination unit, which determines a key registration security level when the electronic key is registered to the communication master, and a registration execution unit, which obtains the key information using the registration code based on the determined key registration security level and registers the key information to the communication master.

  • Patent number: 9306735
    Abstract: An electronic key registration system includes an electronic key device having a key ID. A controller having a first piece of information is arranged in a communication subject. A registration tool having a second piece of information is configured to write the key ID to the controller. The controller compares, before electronic key registration, the first piece of information and the second piece of information. The controller permits electronic key registration when the comparison indicates that the first piece of information and the second piece of information conform to each other and prohibits the electronic key registration when the comparison indicates that the first piece of information and the second piece of information do not conform to each other.

  • Patent number: 9143320
    Abstract: An electronic key registration system includes a controller of a communication subject, an initial electronic key that communicates with the communication subject and has an initial encryption key generation code, an additional electronic key that communicates with the communication subject, and an information center including an additional encryption key. The initial electronic key holds an initial encryption key generated from the initial encryption key generation code and a logic. The controller holds the logic and identification information of the communication subject. The controller acquires the initial encryption key generation code from the initial electronic key, generates an initial encryption key from the initial encryption key generation code and the logic held by the controller, and stores the initial encryption key. The information center sends the additional encryption key to the additional electronic key or the controller through a network.

  • Patent number: 9141693
    Abstract: [Object] To lead a user to various types of information easily with an electronic book as a starting point. [Solving Means] A server apparatus includes a storage, a communication section, and a controller. The storage stores an electronic book obtained by digitizing a book having at least one page in which at least one information item is represented, and associated information that is associated with the information item. The communication section communicates with an external electronic apparatus. The controller generates, when the electronic book is displayed by the external electronic apparatus and the information item of the electronic book is designated, an electronic book unit by adding first metadata to the information item so that display processing of the associated information is executed on the external electronic apparatus, and controls the communication section to transmit the generated electronic book unit to the external electronic apparatus.
