  • Patent number: 11956625
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230082618
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220278840
    Abstract: The present invention reduces security risks while improving the convenience of use management technology for a usage target object. A utilization control device (1), upon receiving hole data with a first signature from a provider terminal (3), verifies the first signature by using a first public key, to set the hole data to the device (1) itself when the signature verification is established. Furthermore, upon receiving a use permit with a second signature from a user terminal (4), the utilization control device (1) verifies the second signature by using a second public key included in the hole data, transmits a nonce to the user terminal (4), receives a third signature to the nonce from the user terminal (4), and verifies the third signature by using a third public key included in the use permit.

  • Publication number: 20220103374
    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.

  • Patent number: 9912024
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of obtaining a battery capable of achieving a uniform temperature among a plurality of battery cells in a simple configuration while achieving size and weight reductions, and a battery module using the battery block. The battery block of the present invention has a structure such that a pair of end plates is disposed at both ends of a plurality of battery cells in an arranged direction; first spacers are disposed between the plurality of battery cells; and second spacers are disposed between the battery cells and the end plates. The first spacers have a space for allowing a flow of cooling gas. The second spacers block the flow of the cooling gas between the battery cells and the end plates and have a thermal insulating property for suppressing heat transmission between the battery cells and the end plates.

  • Patent number: 7243635
    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.
