Abstract

An information processing system includes an object information acquiring unit, a receiver information acquiring unit, and an authentication information issuing unit. The object information acquiring unit acquires delivery object information of an object from a deliverer of the object. The object is stored in an interior space of a vehicle and of which delivery is desired. The receiver information acquiring unit acquires receiver information on a receiver of the object. The authentication information issuing unit issues authentication information for locking and unlocking a door of the vehicle based on the delivery object information and the receiver information and transmits the authentication information to a terminal of the receiver.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing system comprising:
a processor programmed to:
acquire delivery object information of an object from a deliverer of the object, the object being stored in an interior space of a vehicle, and the object of which delivery is desired;
acquire receiver information on a receiver of the object, the receiver information being acquired from a terminal of the receiver;
issue authentication information for locking and unlocking a door of the vehicle based on the delivery object information and the receiver information;
transmit the authentication information to the terminal of the receiver;
receive a notification from the terminal of the receiver indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted the authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle; and
invalidate the authentication information upon reception of the notification indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted to the vehicle the authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to disclose a plurality of pieces of delivery object information as an object list on a web site.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is programmed to:
receive a request for reception of a predetermined object selected from the object list, and
acquire the receiver information on the receiver of the predetermined object.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication information includes information of a validity period of the authentication information based on a usage type of the object.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to charge the receiver for a cost generated in association with usage of the object when the notification indicating that the door of the vehicle has been unlocked is received from the terminal of the receiver.

6. An information processing device comprising:
a processor programmed to:
acquire delivery object information of an object from a deliverer of the object, the object being stored in an interior space of a vehicle, and the object of which delivery is desired;
acquire receiver information on a receiver of the object, the receiver information being acquired from a terminal of the receiver;
issue authentication information for locking and unlocking a door of the vehicle based on the delivery object information and the receiver information;
transmit the authentication information to the terminal of the receiver;
receive a notification from the terminal of the receiver indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted the authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle; and
invalidate the authentication information upon reception of the notification indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted to the vehicle the authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle.

7. An information processing method for an information processing system, the information processing system including a computer, the information processing method comprising:
causing the computer to acquire delivery object information of an object from a deliverer of the object, the object being stored in an interior space of a vehicle, and the object of which delivery is desired;
causing the computer to acquire receiver information on a receiver of the object, the receiver information being acquired from a terminal of the receiver;
causing the computer to issue authentication information for locking and unlocking a door of the vehicle based on the delivery object information and the receiver information;
causing the computer to transmit the authentication information to the terminal of the receiver;
causing the computer to receive a notification from the terminal of the receiver indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted the authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle; and
causing the computer to invalidate the authentication information upon reception of the notification indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted to the vehicle the authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle.

8. A non-transitory recording medium storing a program, the program causing a computer to perform a method comprising:
acquiring delivery object information of an object from a deliverer of the object, the object being stored in an interior space of a vehicle, and the object of which delivery is desired;
acquiring receiver information on a receiver of the object, the receiver information being acquired from a terminal of the receiver;
issuing authentication information for locking and unlocking a door of the vehicle based on the delivery object information and the receiver information;
transmitting the authentication information to the terminal of the receiver;
receiving a notification from the terminal of the receiver indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted the authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle; and
invalidating the authentication information upon reception of the notification indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted to the vehicle the authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle.

9. A vehicle interior sharing system comprising:
a processor programmed to:
receive, from a terminal of a receiver, a request for delivery of an object,
transmit, in response to the request, electronic authentication information to the terminal of the receiver to deliver the object stored in an interior space of a vehicle, the electronic authentication information being information that permits opening and closing of a door of the vehicle in which a deliverer stores the object;
receive a notification from the terminal of the receiver indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted the electronic authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle; and
invalidate the electronic authentication information when a upon reception of the notification indicating that the terminal of the receiver transmitted to the vehicle the electronic authentication information for locking and unlocking the door of the vehicle, wherein
the receiver receives delivery of the object stored in the interior space of the vehicle.

10. The vehicle interior sharing system according to claim 9 , wherein the electronic authentication information includes a limiting date and time or a limiting period.

11. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives delivery of the object stored in the interior space of the vehicle.

12. The information processing device according to claim 6 , wherein the receiver receives delivery of the object stored in the interior space of the vehicle.

13. The information processing method according to claim 7 , wherein the receiver receives delivery of the object stored in the interior space of the vehicle.

14. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 8 , wherein the receiver receives delivery of the object stored in the interior space of the vehicle.

15. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is owned by the deliverer.

16. The information processing device according to claim 6 , wherein the vehicle is owned by the deliverer.
