and receiving by the vehicle the use permission to continue its available state. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: if the authentication fails, sending by the vehicle management server a stop command for stopping the available state to the vehicle, receiving by the vehicle the stop command to stop its available state; or determining by the vehicle its riding state, if the use permission is not received within a second predetermined period after the riding state starts, stopping by the vehicle its available state. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: if the authentication fails, sending by the vehicle management server a stop command for stopping the available state to the vehicle, and receiving by the vehicle the stop command to stop its available state; and when the vehicle receives the stop command, providing a stop prompt about stopping the available state for the user through at least one of a vibration means and a sound generating means in the vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: if the authentication fails, sending by the vehicle management server a stop command for stopping the available state to the vehicle; and receiving by the vehicle the stop command to stop its available state; wherein after the vehicle receives the stop command for a first predetermined period, the available state of the vehicle is stopped. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: if the authentication fails, sending by the vehicle management server a stop command for stopping the available state to the vehicle; and receiving by the vehicle the stop command to stop its available state; and if the authentication fails, sending by the vehicle management server a re-authentication message for re-authentication to the client device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, further comprising: receiving by the client device the re-authentication message; and providing a prompt about re-authentication for the user through at least one of a sound, a vibration and a screen message display. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: determining by the vehicle its riding state, if the use permission is not received within a second predetermined period after the riding state starts, stopping by the vehicle its available state; and if the use permission is not received within a third predetermined period after the riding state starts, providing a stop prompt about stopping the available state for the user through at least one of a vibration means and a sound generating means in the vehicle, the third predetermined period being less than the second predetermined period. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: determining by the vehicle its riding state, if the use permission is not received within a second predetermined period after the riding state starts, stopping by the vehicle its available state; wherein when the available state of the vehicle is stopped, if a duration of the non-riding state of the vehicle is longer than a fourth predetermined period, the vehicle activates the available state ### Claim 9 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: determining by the vehicle its riding state, if the use permission is not received within a second predetermined period after the riding state starts, stopping by the vehicle its available state; wherein the vehicle determines its riding state by detecting at least one of a vehicle seat pressure and a wheel rotation state. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the client device acquires the vehicle identification through at least one of a two-dimensional code input or a character input, a Bluetooth connection and a Near Field Communication ### Claim 11 A manageable vehicle comprising a control means configured for: providing a client device with a vehicle identification when the vehicle is in an available state; receiving a use permission of a continuously available state of the vehicle from a vehicle management server; and continuing the available state based on the use permission. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The vehicle of claim 11, further comprising: a stopping means for stopping the available state of the vehicle, wherein the control means is further configured to perform the following operations of: if the authentication fails, receiving a stop command from the vehicle management server for stopping the available state; controlling the stopping means to stop the available state of the vehicle; or determining a riding state of the vehicle; and if the use permission is not received within a second predetermined period after the riding state starts, controlling the stopping means to stop the available state of the vehicle ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The vehicle of claim 12, further comprising: at least one of a vibration means and a sound generating means, wherein the control means is further configured to perform the following operation of: if the authentication fails, receiving a stop command from the vehicle management server for stopping the available state; and controlling the stopping means to stop the available state of the vehicle; and when receiving the stop command, controlling at least one of the vibration means and the sound generating means to provide a stop prompt about stopping the available state for a user ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The vehicle of claim 12, wherein the control means is further configured to perform the following operation of: if the authentication fails, receiving a stop command from the vehicle management server for stopping the available state; and controlling the stopping means to stop the available state of the vehicle; and after receiving the stop command for a first predetermined period, controlling the stopping means to stop the available state of the vehicle. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The vehicle of claim 12, further comprising: at least one of a vibration means and a sound generating means, wherein the control means is further configured to perform the following operation of: determining by the vehicle its riding state, if the use permission is not received within a second predetermined period after the riding state starts, controlling the stopping means to stop the available state of the vehicle;
