Abstract
In an electric mobile vehicle to which a power storage pack is attached, a controller obtains, from the power storage pack via wired or wireless communication, a verification code that is to be used in a process of exchanging an encryption key that is to be used for short-range wireless communication between the power storage pack and a portable terminal device. A notification unit presents, to a user of the portable terminal device, a tentative notification of the verification code obtained from the power storage pack.
Claims8
An electric mobile vehicle to which a power storage pack is attached, the electric mobile vehicle comprising:
- a controller that obtains a verification code from the power storage pack via wired or wireless communication, the verification code being to be used in a process of exchanging an encryption key that is to be used for short-range wireless communication between the power storage pack and a portable terminal device;
- a notification unit that notifies a user of the portable terminal device of the verification code obtained from the power storage pack;
- and
- an operation unit that receives an operation performed by the user, wherein
- when the controller recognizes a predetermined operation performed on the operation unit, the controller transmits, to the power storage pack, an obtainment request for the verification code and a request for transmission of a signal for notifying a nearby device of presence of the power storage pack via the short-range wireless communication.
A portable terminal device comprising:
- a wireless communication unit configured to perform short-range wireless communication;
- an obtainment unit that obtains a verification code notified from an electric mobile vehicle, as triggered by an operation performed by a user, wherein
- the electric mobile vehicle, to which a power storage pack is attached, comprises:
- (1) a vehicle-side controller that obtains the verification code from the power storage pack via wired or wireless communication, the verification code being to be used in a process of exchanging an encryption key that is to be used for short-range wireless communication between the power storage pack and the portable terminal device, and
- (2) a notification unit that notifies the user of the portable terminal device of the verification code obtained from the power storage pack and includes a display unit configured to display the verification code;
- and
- a controller that performs a process of exchanging an encryption key with the power storage pack using the verification code, the encryption key being used for the short-range wireless communication with the power storage pack, the power storage pack being attached to the electric mobile vehicle, wherein
- the obtainment unit includes an imager,
- as triggered by an operation performed by the user, the imager captures an image of the verification code displayed on the display unit, and
- the controller of the portable terminal device performs image recognition of the image captured by the imager, detects the verification code, and performs the process of exchanging the encryption key using the verification code detected.
