Abstract
A method for authorizing a user to drive a vehicle is provided. A verification code is generated based on eID card information of the user, and is provided to the user and the vehicle. The vehicle includes a biometric device to ensure that the one who enters the vehicle and inputs the verification code is the user. After the code inputted by the user is successfully verified to be identical to the verification code, the vehicle permits driving operation.
Claims14
A method for authorizing a user to drive a vehicle, comprising steps of:
- by a computer device that is away from the vehicle, receiving electronic identification (eID) card information that is acquired from an eID card of the user, the eID card storing a pre-established biological feature of the user therein;
- by the computer device, generating a verification code based on the eID card information and vehicle information that is related to the vehicle;
- by the computer device, transmitting the verification code to the user and the vehicle;
- by a biometric device that is installed in the vehicle, extracting a biological feature of the user to obtain an extracted biological feature, and transmitting the extracted biological feature to an embedded computer of the vehicle;
- by the embedded computer in cooperation with a card reader that is installed in the vehicle and that is capable of accessing the eID card, obtaining a result of comparison between the extracted biological feature and the pre-established biological feature stored in the eID card;
- by the embedded computer, requesting the user to input the verification code when the result of the comparison indicates that the extracted biological feature matches the pre-established biological feature;
- by the embedded computer, upon receipt of a user input code that is inputted through an input device in response to the request of inputting the verification code, comparing the user input code with the verification code;
- and
- by the embedded computer, permitting driving operation of the vehicle upon determining that the user input code is identical to the verification code.
6 more elements
A system for a vehicle to authorize a user to drive the vehicle, comprising:
- a wireless communication module to be mounted to the vehicle, and configured to receive a verification code that is related to an electronic identification (eID) card of the user from a computer device that is away from the vehicle, the eID card storing a pre-established biological feature of the user;
- a card reader to be installed in the vehicle, and configured to perform data transmission with the eID card of the user;
- a biometric device to be installed in the vehicle, and configured to extract a biological feature of the user to obtain an extracted biological feature;
- an embedded computer to be mounted to the vehicle, electrically connected to said wireless communication module, said card reader and said biometric device, and configured to receive the verification code from said wireless communication module, to receive the extracted biological feature from said biometric device, and to cooperate with said card reader to obtain a result of comparison between the extracted biological feature and the pre-established biological feature;
- and
- an input device to be installed in the vehicle, and configured to receive a user input code that is inputted by the user;
- wherein said embedded computer is further configured to request the user to input the verification code when the result of the comparison indicates that the extracted biological feature matches the pre-established biological feature, to receive the user input code that is inputted by the user in response to the request of inputting the verification code, and to permit driving operation of the vehicle upon determining that the user input code is identical to the verification code.
