Would the warning message? "Is displayed.

If the user decides to store an image captured by the digital camera while the warning message is displayed, the conditional shooting tracking module provided in the wireless terminal generates shooting tracking information and generates a local area network (or wireless network). ) Transmits the shooting tracking information generated as described above to the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500.

7 is a simple flowchart of a shooting tracking process using a short-range communication-based conditional shooting tracking system according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 uses a wireless terminal to track a shooting period of a digital camera provided in the wireless terminal for a predetermined valid period. The command is provided because, when the wireless terminal is out of the short-range communication range, the short-range communication has no means for releasing the shooting tracking function of the wireless terminal.

If the wireless terminal connected to the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 and the short-range communication session according to another embodiment of the present invention provides a wireless communication session function with the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 through a wireless network, Even if the wireless terminal is out of the short range communication range, it is possible to release the shooting tracking function to the wireless terminal through the wireless network.

Referring to FIG. 7, when the wireless terminal having the short range communication function and the conditional shooting tracking function enters the short range communication range of the at least one short range communication device provided in the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 (700), The shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 may include at least one short-range communication means of infrared ray communication, radio frequency (RF) communication, Bluetooth, wireless LAN, and Wi-Fi. The local area communication session is connected with the wireless terminal through the local area communication protocol (705).

When the near field communication session between the photographing tracking determination condition providing server 500 and the wireless terminal is connected as described above, the photographing tracking determination condition providing server 500 is the second preferred embodiment of the present invention to the wireless terminal through the short range communication session. In operation 710, it is determined whether a conditional shooting tracking function is provided.

If the wireless terminal is not equipped with the conditional shooting tracking function according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention (715), the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 provides a shooting tracking command to the wireless terminal To exit.

On the other hand, if the wireless terminal is equipped with a conditional shooting tracking function according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention (720), the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 is wireless over the short-range communication session connected to the wireless terminal The terminal provides a command to track the shooting of the digital camera for a certain valid period (725).

When the valid period shooting tracking command is provided to the wireless terminal as described above, since the shooting tracking valid period included in the shooting tracking command has not elapsed, the conditional shooting tracking module provided in the wireless terminal is based on the shooting tracking command. In operation 730, the photographing tracking function of the digital camera is activated.

If the digital camera is attempting to shoot the digital camera while the shooting tracking function of the digital camera is activated as described above (735), the wireless terminal outputs a shooting tracking warning message on the screen of the wireless terminal as shown in (c) of FIG. An image of an image is acquired through a camera (740).

If the user wants to store the image captured while the image image is acquired through the digital camera as described above (745), the wireless terminal outputs a shooting tracking warning message on the screen of the wireless terminal as shown in (d) of FIG. In operation 750, the apparatus may generate photographing tracking information regarding the photographing of the digital camera, and transmit the photographing tracking information to the photographing tracking determination condition providing server 500 through a short range communication session.

On the contrary, if the image captured by the digital camera is not stored as described above, the wireless terminal deletes the image captured by the digital camera as described above from the wireless terminal (760). The process of checking whether the digital camera is photographed is repeatedly performed.

According to the present invention, within the short range communication range provided in the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 as described above, the shooting tracking process for the digital camera provided in the wireless terminal is wireless in the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500. It is maintained until the validity period included in the shooting tracking command provided to the terminal elapses.

If the expiration date of the valid period shooting tracking command provided to the wireless terminal has elapsed (765), the conditional shooting tracking module provided in the wireless terminal deactivates the tracking function of the wireless terminal, thereby deactivating the wireless terminal as shown in FIG. In step 770, the camera returns to the general digital camera shooting mode.

On the other hand, if the validity period of the validity period shooting tracking command provided to the wireless terminal has not elapsed (775), the conditional shooting tracking module provided in the wireless terminal is next to the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 before the validity period elapses. In operation 780, it is checked whether a shooting tracking command corresponding to a shooting tracking determination condition including a valid period is provided.

If the shooting tracking command is re-received from the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 to the wireless terminal (785), the conditional shooting tracking module provided in the wireless terminal is based on the shooting tracking command re-received as described above. Repeat the process of activating the shooting tracking function.

On the other hand, if the shooting tracking command is not re-received by the wireless terminal before the validity period of the shooting tracking command previously received from the shooting tracking determination condition providing server 500 has elapsed (790), the conditional shooting tracking module provided in the wireless terminal By deactivating the function of tracking the shooting of the wireless terminal, the wireless terminal returns to the general digital camera shooting mode as shown in FIG.

According to the present invention, by presenting a shooting-limited wireless terminal having a conditional shooting prevention and / or tracking module and a conditional shooting restriction method of the camera in the wireless terminal using the same, personal privacy using a digital camera provided in the wireless terminal There is an advantage that it is possible to prevent infringement or the leakage of confidential business information.
