Abstract

A service providing method using a server that controls an electronic device from a terminal through a network, includes a first registration step of registering first path information indicating a connection relationship between the electronic device and a relay, and user information indicating an owner of the electronic device, which are transmitted from the terminal, in association with each other; a path acquisition step of acquiring second path information indicating a connection relationship between the electronic device and the relay, from service information transmitted from the electronic device; a service information acquisition step of acquiring service information that the electronic device holds; a comparison step of comparing the first path information with the second path information; and a providing step of providing the service information to the terminal, if the comparison result is inconsistent, in the comparison step.

A service providing method using a server that controls an electronic device from a terminal through a network, the method comprising the server performing:

a first registration step of registering first path information indicating a device connection relationship between the electronic device and a remote relay device which relays communication data with the electronic device to the server, wherein the first path information and the second path information include a device identifier for identifying the electronic device and a relay identifier for identifying the relay device, wherein in the first registration step, time information at the time of execution of the first registration step is further acquired, and the first path information, the user information, and the time information at the time of execution of the first registration step are registered in association with each other, and user information indicating an owner of the electronic device, which are transmitted from the terminal to the server, in association with each other;
a path acquisition step of acquiring second path information indicating the device connection relationship between the electronic device and the relay device, from service information transmitted from the electronic device;
a service information acquisition step of acquiring service information that the electronic device holds, wherein in the service information acquisition step, time information at a time of acquisition of the service information is further acquired, and the service information, the second path information, and the time information at the time of acquisition of the service information are registered in association with each other;
a comparison step of comparing the first path information that is registered in the first registration step with the second path information that is acquired in the path acquisition step, wherein in the comparison step, the time information which is registered in the first registration step and the time information which is registered in the service information acquisition step are compared with each other;
and
a providing step of providing the service information to the terminal, if a result of the comparison in the comparison step is consistent.

Summary768 words

#The present invention relates to a service providing method for providing a user with information acquired from an electronic device.

#PTL 1 has proposed a personal authentication system that authenticates a user, based on whether or not input data for user authentication and pre-registered data are consistent with each other and a moving distance determined based on a current position and a current time, and determines whether to display information.

#In this personal authentication system, predetermined registration data for the user, and the position and date and time when a mobile terminal device was used in the past are stored in a storage device in association with each other. If user data which is input to the mobile terminal device and current position data of the mobile terminal device are received, it is determined whether or not a first authentication condition is satisfied, in which the user data input to the mobile terminal device is consistent with predetermined registered data. In addition, it is determined whether or not a second authentication condition is satisfied, in which a distance between the position at the time of use in the past being stored in the storage device and the present position of the mobile terminal device is a movable distance within a time difference between the date and time of use in the past being stored in the storage device and the present date and time. Then, if at least the first authentication condition and the second authentication condition are satisfied, the personal authentication is completed.
