Nissan Motor had six patents in cybersecurity during Q1 2024. The patent filed by Nissan Motor Co Ltd in Q1 2024 describes an on-board equipment control device that uses a two-step authentication process for user identification. The device first authenticates the user based on a signal from a wireless device before the user boards the vehicle, and then performs a second authentication based on biometric data after the user boards the vehicle. The device then determines if the user identified in both authentications is the same and controls the on-board equipment accordingly.

The patent filed by Nissan Motor Co Ltd describes an on-board equipment control device that utilizes a combination of wireless device signals and biometric data for user authentication. The controller in the device performs two-step authentication - first based on a signal from a wireless device before the user boards the vehicle, and second based on biometric data after the user boards the vehicle. The device then determines if the user identified by both authentications is the same and controls the on-board equipment accordingly. The system allows for personalized control of different on-board equipment or functions based on the identified user, enhancing user experience and security.
Furthermore, the patent details various claims related to the storage of setting data, the use of identification signals and facial data for authentication, and the control of specific on-board equipment based on the identified user. The device can differentiate between users, allowing for individualized control of equipment such as meters, steering wheels, navigation systems, and air conditioning devices. Additionally, the system can adapt settings based on environmental data and previous user preferences stored in the device. Overall, the invention aims to provide a secure and personalized on-board experience for users of vehicles equipped with this control device.
