Most of the mobile terminals currently on the market are equipped with near field communication functions such as Wi-Fi, Blooth, Zigbee, and NFC. The short-range communication function may perform a process of payment, authentication, etc. in conjunction with a mobile terminal or a smart card such as a USIM mounted on the portable terminal.
For example, a portable terminal providing an NFC function for performing short range wireless communication within several tens of cm may provide a payment service using a credit card or a traffic card by activating the short range communication function. Specifically, when the mobile terminal having the NFC function is close to the payment terminal, communication with the payment terminal is made through the NFC function, and payment processing is performed through this.
The short-range communication function of the portable terminal is implemented to be operated independently of the function of the portable terminal body. In this case, the portable terminal is configured to be activated or deactivated in the configuration menu of the portable terminal.
In addition, in order to prevent illegal use due to loss and theft, a service for deactivating the short-range communication function of the mobile terminal through remote control in case of loss or theft is supported.
However, the short-range communication function of the activated portable terminal can be used even when the power of the portable terminal is turned off, so that a short-range communication function is performed when a person who has lost the portable terminal turns off the portable terminal. Can be used fraudulently, and there is no way to prevent this.
