Abstract: The present invention reduces security risk while improving the convenience, and further to limit predetermined uses of a usage target object to only authorized users. When a utilization control device (1) receives a restriction on use lift request from a user terminal (4) via Near Field Communication (63), it verifies a signature included in this request with a public key set in own device (1), and when the verification is established and conditions on use of a use permit included in this request are satisfied, it lifts a first restriction on use of a vehicle (5) (door lock, key box (10) lock). Further, when the first restriction on use is released, it performs face authentication using image data including an image of the user's face in the seat imaged by a camera (2) and the face authentication information included in this request, and if the face authentication is established, it lifts a second restriction on use of the vehicle 5 (engine start lock).

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to perform offline management of use of usage target object by a user having a ticket, while reducing risk on security. A use permit that includes transaction information specifying usage conditions for the user to use the usage target object, is added as a two-dimensional code printed on a ticket. A utilization management device takes an image of the two-dimensional code added to the ticket to read the use permit from the image. Then, the utilization management device verifies a signature added to the use permit by using a public key provided in advance by a provider of the usage target object. If verification is established, the utilization management device refers transaction information included in the use permit to permit for user to use of the usage target object when usage condition specified by the transaction information are satisfied.

Abstract: According to the present invention, the convenience of a utilization management technology for a usage target object is enhanced and the security risk is reduced. This utilization control device (1) is capable of communicating only in a near field communication (63) and stores a first public key that is paired with a first secret key stored in a management device (2). When hole data is received with a first signature from a provider terminal (3), the first signature is verified by means of the first key, and when the signature verification is established, the hole data is set to an own device (1). The hole data includes a second public key that is paired with a second secret key stored in the management device (2). When a utilization permit card is received with a second signature from a user terminal (4), the second signature is verified with the second public key, and when the signature verification is validated, transaction information included in the utilization permit card is acquired.

Abstract: The present invention reduces security risks while improving the convenience of utilization control technology of an usage target object. A use permit issuance device (1): stores, for each user, authentication data and an authentication method in association with identification information of one or more users and upon receipt of a use permit issuance request from a setting terminal (5), issues a use permit to generate a signature, and identifies the authentication data associated with the user identification information and the authentication method included in the issuance request, and notifies the setting terminal (5) of setting information including the use permit, the signature and the authentication data. The setting terminal (5) registers the setting information in a use permit notification device (4).

Abstract: The present invention reduces security risks while improving convenience in a utilization control technique of a usage target object. A utilization control device (1) can communicate only via Near Field Communication, and is separated from a network. And in the utilization control device (1), a hole data including a public key is set. In a use permit notification device (2), a use permit and signature are registered for each user ID. The signature is generated by using a private key paired with the public key included in the hole data. The use permit notification device (2) sends the use permit and signature in connection with the ID read from an ID card (3) to the utilization control device (1) via the Near Field Communication.

Abstract: The invention is intended to simplify a default mechanism of a throttle valve opening and closing device for the purpose of improving mountability of the device to a vehicle. When a motor generate no driving forces, a throttle valve is held in a position (1) by a return spring. In this position, gaps are formed between the throttle valve and a wall surface of an intake passage. Spherical recesses are formed in parts of the wall surface of the intake passage. In a position (2) where the throttle valve is opposed to the spherical recesses, the gaps are minimized in an operating range of the throttle valve.
