System for preventing establishment of unauthorized communication

Номер: US20120139691A1

Автор: Hiroshi Mori

Принадлежит: Tokai Rika Co Ltd

A system that prevents unauthorized establishment of wireless bidirectional communication between a communication master and a communication terminal. The system includes a strength measurement signal transmission circuit that transmits a received signal strength measurement signal, which is used to measure received signal strength at the communication terminal, a number of times with different transmission strengths during a single wireless bidirectional communication session. A received signal strength measurement circuit measures the received signal strength of the received signal strength measurement signal whenever the received signal strength measurement signal is received by the communication terminal. A measurement result transmission circuit transmits received signal strength measurement results as a single response signal to the communication master from the communication terminal during the single communication session. A check circuit checks whether the current bidirectional communication is authorized based on the received signal strength measurement results from the communication terminal.
