Abstract
An embodiment system for authenticating a user of a robotaxi includes an authentication server and a robotaxi. The authentication server configured to create a first authentication number, transmit the first authentication number to a smart phone the user, receive a second authentication number from the robotaxi when authenticating the user using a digital key fails, and request unlocking of a door to the robotaxi when the first authentication number and the second authentication number match. The robotaxi configured to receive the second authentication number from the user, transmit the second authentication number to the authentication server, and unlock the door in response to the request from the authentication server.
Claims20
A system for authenticating a user of a robotaxi, the system comprising:
- an authentication server configured to:
- receive an authentication request from the user;
- perform an authentication procedure in response to the authentication request;
- determine an authentication error when the authentication server fails to complete the authentication procedure within a critical time after the authentication server receives the authentication request from the user;
- create a first authentication number in response to the authentication error;
- transmit the first authentication number to the user;
- receive a second authentication number from the robotaxi;
- and
- transmit a request to unlock a door to the robotaxi when the first authentication number and the second authentication number match;
- and
- the robotaxi configured to:
- receive the second authentication number from the user;
- transmit the second authentication number to the authentication server;
- and
- unlock the door in response to the request to unlock from the authentication server.
A method for authenticating a user of a robotaxi, the method comprising:
- receiving an authentication request from the user that has a valid digital key;
- performing an authentication procedure in response to the authentication request;
- determining an authentication error when the authentication procedure fails to complete within a critical time;
- creating, by an authentication server, a first authentication number in response to the authentication error;
- transmitting, by the authentication server, the first authentication number to the user;
- receiving, by the robotaxi, a second authentication number from the user;
- transmitting, by the robotaxi, the second authentication number to the authentication server;
- transmitting, by the authentication server, a request to unlock a door to the robotaxi when the first authentication number and the second authentication number match;
- and
- unlocking, by the robotaxi, the door in response to the request to unlock from the authentication server.
An authentication system comprising:
- an authentication server;
- and
- a robotaxi that includes a call button located on an exterior of the robotaxi;
- wherein the authentication server is configured to:
- authenticate a user based on reference biometric information of the user and biometric information transmitted from the robotaxi;
- create a first authentication number in response to the user being authenticated based on the biometric information;
- receive a second authentication number from the robotaxi;
- and
- transmit a request to unlock a door to the robotaxi when the first authentication number and the second authentication number match;
- and
- wherein the robotaxi is configured to:
- receive a user input at the call button on the exterior of the robotaxi;
- receive the biometric information of the user;
- transmit the biometric information of the user to the authentication server;
- provide the first authentication number to the user in response to the user input at the call button;
- receive the second authentication number from the user;
- transmit the second authentication number to the authentication server;
- and
- unlock the door in response to the request to unlock from the authentication server.
